R. CAUSES DOUBT . , CRUISE SPECULATION r JAPAN SITS: TIGHT , t-MILLBONAIRE" INCOMES FRANK'S GROUP REPORTS . WPA AND BUSINESS V While the presidential campaign has already started in one sense of "the word, the major engagement will not begin until after the party conventions. These are set for the latest dates since 1866, with the Re publicans' meeting at Philadelphia on ' Jane 24th and the Democrats conven " ing In Chicago on July 15th. 'i There will be about fifteen weeks -fiwtween the formation of Party lines ;"nd the voting in November. By 1 postponing selection of the date foi , the Democratic Convention, the Party in power believes that it will have ( . some advantage from looking over .Vlhe nominees of the Republican Party , and studying the issues made by the platform of the minority. Demo "v, eratic politicians also take the posi- . tion that the party in power has cer tain advantages and needs less time to promote its candidate. U ' Unless President Roosevelt makes ."some declaration 'as to his intentions, , " upon the completion of his present vacation cruise, it seems likely that ", nothing definite will be known until) the Democrats gather to make their decisions. Until the Democratic nominee is actually selected, the third term issue will remain suspended. While it is generally believed X the President prefers to retire, is widespread belief that he will be drafted by the Democrats, particularly if the situation in Eu rope is threatening and the Republi can campaign seems to be getting y underway in a manner which makes Vifl progress with the voters. While many Democrats are opposed to the t third term idea, the reader may as . sume that they prefer victory in , November with the President as their candidate rather than defeat i in November with some other nomi ' nee. i News-gatherers, looking for sensa tions, apparently, speculated rather '- freely upon the possibility that ' President Roosevelt, on his cruise, ' -C might meet high officials of Euro- -t tion abroad. When the President K declined to deny such a possibility, tne stones mmupnea. xney maae good reading, but the , President's cruiser Meat through the Panama i Canal and steamed into the Pacific j Ocean. Certainly, this would be a i strange place to meet European , emissaries, but this little detail will hardly kill off the speculation. The next time you hear it, the tale will 1 be amended to provide for a meeting between the President and the Japan ese representatives to consult about conditions in the Pacific. Airy way you take it, the speculation con- - tmues. . " :m Relations between the United TAYLOR THEATRE EPENTON, N. C.

The United States having made its , position clear, awaits action by Japan to indi cate a changed attitude in regard to observing the rights of Americans in the Far East. The Japanese Government recently announced that it would make no effort to settle the trade treaty question at this time but that an effort Would be made to lay the ground-work for progress in the future by the disposal of grievances. "We haVe done our best and are sorry that our efforts have not been reciprocated," says the Japanese Foreign Office spokesman. The Japanese do not Hke the pending proposal to place an embargo against them, the proposal to lend money to China, and the scheme to fortify the Island of Guam. Ap parently, they have no intention whatever of modifying their policy in the Far East but are perfectly willing to arrange some modus vivendi to continue commerce be tween the two nations. Inasmuch as the abrogation of the commercial treaty by the U. S. was an act de signed to compel Japan to recognize American rights, there is no chance for successful negotiations until one power or the other changes its pres: ent position. Sixty-five Americans reported "milflionaire" incomes in 1938, as compared with forty-nine in 1937, according to figures released by the Treasury Department, which an nounces that' net income reported by individuals for 1938 was 9.5 less than in 1937. The number of tax re turns was 6,155,856 and the net in come was $18,664,036,932. Total tax liability dropped to $764,724,215 as compared with the $1,182,206,000 in 1937. The Republican Program Commit tee, under the chairmanship of Profj Glenn Frank, former President of the University of Wisconsin, and includ ing a group of two hundred person's representing various sections of the country, submitted a 33,000-word re port, after two years of research, suggesting suitable positions to be taken by the Republican National Convention. The recommendation is not bind ing, but the report will be considered by the Resolutions Committee in framing the Party platform. Space does not permit anything like a re view of the constructive suggestions that feautured the report, which at tributed the inability of the New Deal to reduce unemployment -t. a., failure to encourage private enterprise, which compelled public enterprise of the states to expand to take up the slack. The Committee wants a twenty per cent reduction in Government spending, a balanced budget by 1942. reduction of certain taxes, repeal of emergency monetary powers, amend ments of the NLRB, repeal of the reciprocal trade agreements act, re duction of relief expenditures with administration divorced "from poli tics," and centered in state and municipal governments, strengthen ing of the national defense and im provement of the Social Security Act with possible extension of its provisions to farm labor and domes tie help.

V f Judge Defends Youth; . Censures Parents For Juvenile Delinquency Pointing an accusing finger at "oldsters" in fixing the responsibil ity for juvenile delinquency, Judge Ernest L. Reeker, of Madison, Ne braska, champions "youngsters" in his current Rotarian magazine arti cle, and suggests that in a majority of cades a warrant should be issued for parents who would place un qualified blame on their children when they get into trouble. "When people ask me, 'Judge, what's wrong with the young people of today?' my answer is always the same: 'There's nothing wrong with the young folkfi the trouble is with their elders'," he - asserts. For 15 years he has been a juvenile judge, he tells Rotarian readers, and has handled 1,560 cases. "In my treat ment of juvenile delinquents, I have found that nine times out of ten a warrant should be issued for the par ents of the- chid, charging them with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, instead of permitting them to throw all the blame on their offspring." jt i i-,- He declares that he is "sick and tired of having 'holier-than-thou' attorneys, rough-and-ready police of ficers, and hair-splitting judges con tinue to produce criminals" by send ing youngsters to institutions through a lack of understanding. Of the 1,560 boys and girls with whom Judge Beeker has dealt, only 50 have been sent to correctional in stitutions; of these only six continu ed in a life of crime. (He has little use for reform schools since he dis covered that officials of one of them took more interest in a prize dairy herd and bull than in the youths committed to their custody. "The bull had better quarters and better care and its diet was more closely watched than were those of the 300 boys in the institution," he charges. Parental neglect accounts for its share of youthful criminals, but "so ciety itself has a pretty rotten re cord," Judge Beeker declares. Juve nile courts themselves need cleaning up, lawyers and. judges must be trained to investigate backgrounds of children in trouble, and the condi tions spawning crime must be elimi nated, he reasons. He concludes by saying he'd like to issue a bench warrant for every citizen, and sentence each to "leave nothing undone that a people might do to make certain that the children of today do not popu'late the pris ons of tomorrow."
