AGGRESSORS DO NOT FEAR
WORDS
Word opinion seems almost unani
mously against Japan's invasion of
duna>-and the nations seem anxious
to prevent the successful destruction
of the Chinese government.
That the Japanese, regardless of
provocation, have gone too far in
their attack upon the Chinese and
that they have violated treaties and
international law with impunity is
scarcely denied.
What is to be done in such instan
ces by other nations? The question
is difficult to answer because it in
volves risks of war. Words, whether
in public speeches or in diplomatic
notes, will not stop Japan and it is
doubtful if the nations have any
idea of adopting other tactics.
To cut Japan from commercial in
tercourse with other nations would
be disastrous to the island empire but
it could not be enforced without the
use of strong fleets, ready to use
force. Sanctions, applied by concerted
action, would hardly result in pre
venting Japanese military success in
China, Once Japan has conquered
China what group of nations will at
tempt to use force to expel her armies
or to keep open the door of commerce
to all nations.
CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENTS
In 1924 Congress submitted to the
States an amendment to the Consti
tution in relation to child labor.
Profound differences of opinion ex
ists as to the wisdom of ratifying
the proposal which has been before ,
the legislatures for thirteen years.
Progress toward ratification was
slow, with a number of States reject
ing the proposal, until recently when
a new- drive for the amendment be- ,
came effective. ]
The question' now presents itself, ,
whether a State, which acted unfavor- (
ably on the amendment, can by sub- ,
sequent act change its vote to one
that is favorable. I
The Kentucky Court of Appeals has ']
ruied against such procedure, saying ]
that a? State, having acted, cannot ,
change its vote without resubmission |
of the question by Congress. More- .
ever, in the particular case the Court ,
rules that when more than one-fourth ,
of the States rejected the proposed (
child- labor amendment the matter was |
withdrawn entirely from further con- |
si deration by the States and adds that ,
more than a reasonable time has {
elapsed since the proposal ws sub- (
mitted to the States.
Regardless of what may be our re- j
spective views in regards to the child
labor amendment, the opinion of the j
Kentucky Court seems to be based 6
upon sound reasons. Certainly, an
amendment, once submitted to the s
States, should not be allowed to re
main in suspension for all time. 3
There should be some way of dispos- t
ing of the proposal by rejection as
well as by ratification. Besides, if a r
rejection can be removed by a subse
quent ratification the question arises, [
can a State, which has accepted a pro- g
posal withdraw that acceptance by a
subsequent act of rejection ?

Washington v

SPECIAL SESSION
FUNDS FOR FARMERS
BUDGET INTERFERENCE
WALLACE'S PROGRAM
(Hugo S. Sims, Washington Corres
pondent.)
While President Roosevelt would
make no statement last week as to
a special session of Congress, the
general idea was that, duang this
week, the President will decide to
issue the call for a special session to
convene early in November.
The purpose of the session will be
to get an early start on farm legis
lation. It is feared that if this is
not done before the January term, it
will almost be impossible to line up
the details before farmers in some
sections of the country begin their
spring plantiing.
Generally, it seems to be taken for
granted that the present Soil Conser
vation program, with benefit pay
ments, will be continued. There is
quite a drive being made for some
additional payments to be provided
for the farmers. Whether the funds
for these additional bounties will come
from a processing tax or from col
lections on imports, under the tariff,
is uncertain. In the case of cotton,
Secretary Wallace seems inclined to
the processing tax idea but in some
quarters there is an effort underway
to secure additional funds for fanners
from the tariff collections.
In this connectioin, it is well to call
attention to the fact that President
Roosevelt has practically served not
ice that "he will not stand for another
big subsidy" for cotton to be raised
by direct appropriation from the Fed
eral Treasury. The reason for the
President's position is his insistence
on curtailing Federal expenditures in
order to bring the budget into balance.
Inasmuch as any diversion of money
collected as tariff dues will, in effect,
come out of the general treasury it
would seem that the President practi
cally limits the source of bounties to
processing taxes.
Secretary Wallace, speaking at
Memprhis, Tennessee, urged farmers
of the South and West to maintain
their solidarity. The Secretary of Ag
riculture stressed the need of mutual
understanding between these sections
ki order that the "united agricultural
front" might be maintained. He also
pointed out that this is all the more
necessary because opponents of Fed
eral aid to farmers have already
launch a determined fight against
contemplated legislation intended to
carry out the long-range program
which the Secretary is sponsoring.
In a subsequent speech, Mr. Wallace
?ave publicity to a program indorsed
last Febraury at a meeting of farm
eaders who recognized that any per
manent national farm program must
ae a program of balanced abundance
md security for both the farmer and
consumer." He said that it was en
iorsed by the President of the Ameri
can Farm Bureau Federation, the Na
:ional -Grange, the Farmer's Union,
;he Farmer's Holiday Association, and
;he Secretary of the National Coop
erative Council. These principles are
First?That agriculture has a right
:o a fair share of the national income.
Second?That consumer as well as
armer interests should be safe-guard
id through an ever-normal granary.
Third?That conservation of the
loil is vitally important to the nation.
Fourth?That farmers ought to be
issured of security of tenure of farms
hey occupy.
Fifth?That farmers' cooperative
novements ought to be encouraged.
Sixth?That provisions ought to be
ncluded in any national farm pro
tram favoring the family-sized farm.
In his speech, Mr. Wallace declared
hat farmers should get the same
hare of the national incc me per cap
ta ap they got before the World War.
or a longer period, this gives the same
answer, and that answer is that far*
mers in the United StatA in the
year ending June 30th, 1987, should
have received'from the sale of crops
and livestock about a billion dollars
more than they did." Until this comes
about, he urged agricultural leaders
to work to bring about "suck changes
in governmental rules of the game as
will give the farmers that which they
must have in order to make their
effective contribution to the welfare of
the nation."
He explained that this means to
him "parity income" but that if nec
essary to use "the concept of parity
prices," he would favor it but "if the
parity price concept means reduced
income for farmers and scarcity for
consumers, I am in favor of trying to
get parity income for farmers by
some other device."
Mr. Wallace also urged that pay
ments to farmers from the Treasury
be looked upon as the farmers' tar
iff. "Farmers on the export market
have seen the purchasing power for
their exports destroyed by the tariff
It is imperative, as long as the peo
ple of the United States stand for
high tariff, that the farmers on the
export market fight for their equiva
lent in the form of crop or price ad
justment payments."

1. Yes.
2. North Carolina.
3. An affair of honor; a duel.
4. The full moon at or nearest the
fall equinox.
5. That population increases faster
than the means of living so that un
less population is checked, part must
starve or all be insufficiently fed.
6. A petition, or document, with
signatures in circular form.
7. Chna, Japan, the United States,
Great Britain, France, Italy, The
Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal.
8. The question is now before the
Supreme Court.
9. To elect community conserva
tion committeemen to discuss farm
problems and the 1938 conservation
program.
10. The index of business produc
tion stood at 121 last December; it
is around 113 now and expected to
drop a little lower.

Less Monthly Discomfort
Many women, who formerly
suffered from a weak, run
down condition as a result of
poor assimilation of food, say
they benefited by taking CAR
DUI, a special medicine for
women. They found it helped
to increase the appetite and
improve digestion, thereby
bringing them more strength
from their food.
Naturally there is less dis
comfort at monthly periods
when the system has been
strengthened and the various
functions restored and regu
lated.
Cardui, praised by thousands of
women. Is well worth trying. Of
course, if not benefited, consult a
physician.
Maybe the idea of the undeclared
war is to avoid paying pensions later
on.
Japanese cooperation with China is
not easily understood by other na
tions.
