SOLUTION OF THE WORLD’S TROUBLES
I'i*om Geneva comes the prognostigation that Japan
^ . secede from the League of Nations; Germany like
wise unless granted full judicial status and the right to
aim on a parity with her neighbors; Japan gets snooty
toward Secretary of State Stimson and tells him she will
employ her own methods of reducing the political major
ities of the heathen Chinee. The French are ready to don
i*eu trousers, march up the street singing the
alarscillaise, and wind up by kissing everybody in
sight and ordering another bottle of vin rouge.
Any one of the above contingents is sufficient to give j
die.\\()ild the hehic jeebies, as yet not convalescent from!
depressions, and now today,
tariff wais and resultant
tiie general elections.
An.v day we are liable to hear the tocsin calling us
to war, and anyone who asks what if is all about faces be
ing tJirow.u into '.lie pokey and fed porcupines with a
pitchfork.
i>nt there is a way all this may be avoided. The idea
burst in all its brilliance upon The Gateway editor while
guzzling “horne-brew” the other night and while he was
bewailing having missed the recent Olympiad.
\\ by not settle these world matters in an athletic
scramble! Just think of the revenue that would be de
rived by the nations offering the highest and best bid for
staging the fracas! Even Russia could get in on this, un
less her athletes tripped on their whiskers. If unable to
become a combatant, she cculd add a few feet to her five
year plan, clear up a few acres more of timber and create
a splendid battlefield capable of accomodating the world.
Warships could be converted into ocean liners for the
purpose of transporting the remainder of the world to
the show. Of course this lets Holland out. Already she
must use an escalator to climb up into the sea. The gath
ering ot an intei national floatilla off her wing dam would
bust i:i her dikes. No Dutchman wearing those 80-yard
baloon breeks would have a chance wading out.
And think of the revenue from the hot dog privilege!
What with modern wireless and television capable of
allowing the man holding a dollar seat to hear and see
the jamboree, no one should come away disappointed.
Now that the presidential campaign is over the Lit
erary Digest could take a straw vote on whether we wish
ed war or not, and if it should be of last year’s model or
an uuiictie (30-iG .rat with 20 percent deducted as the
share of me nr Ton staging the event.
China could win an ally in England, whose demand

Ti.o c . . ; r (T ways to settle these international
blootilusts v ithoiit mussing up the landscape and tearing
• ■lie’s clothes. Since the girls have turned prize-fighters,1
crap-shooters, wrestlers and bartenders, this plan would'
affoiu them a chance to do their stuff and decide the
question of who will wear the pants in future. If they win,
they il be so busy arguing that the men can sneak out the !
backdoor and rush the growler.
Statesmen who now pore over dictionaries trying to!
find a word which will designate a man a liar without of
fending his dignity will be able to talk dog musher to any
country until he calls out his baseball scouts to begin
gum-shoeing corner lot nines for a twirler who has some
thing on

The more wc consider this plan the more we are op
posed to pacifism and thirst for war following each pres
idential election.
Judging by the charges and recriminations emanat
ing from the FiK.-i Division, embodying those of anar
chist, : )use mayor, etc., we’ll just be compell
ed to ask Congress to make the Filth the brown bear
resow; >n Ico n Holzworth would load onto Admiralty

enough bonehcud.v of our own without the Fifth Division.

It is quite appropriate that one alleged to be as slick

•Science claims there are invisible forces which can
penetrate six feet of lead. But our politicians’ heads are
not made of lead.
SEC1I0NAL DISCRIMINATIONS
Citing the tact that Japan and Russia have dumped
| bu'g-2 quantities of salmon and fish oils into the American
i markets, representatives of the Alaskan fishing industry
I Lave appealed to Washington for a tariff to safeguard
j the American industry from extinction.
; In the scramble of Eastern business for protection
• all interest appears to have been centered upon giving
l the manufacturers not only a tariff but a weapon where
I by they could wring tribute from the people. In the log
! i oiling in Congress such matters as equal treatment of
the West with protective schedules have been palpably
ove: looked. Especially was this true with respect to coal
until the Hawlcy-Smoot tariff was enacted, when a meas- ■
ure of protection was given after Canadian coal had wag
ed a successful conquest of northern Pacific Coast mark
ets and those of Alaska.
The Alaska fishing industry represents an invest
ment of more than $75,000,000 and an output of between
$35,000,000 and $50,000,000 annually.
But Alaska fish are not marketable in Japan, while
manufactured goods originating in the Eastern United
States are. Hence the rapacious tradesmen of the East
have managed to use the fish industry in logrolling with
Japan and Soviet Russia for the admission of their wares
to the exclusion of protection for the North and West.
There is no reason why the Alaska fishing industry
should not have equal protection against the coolie-pro
duced’products of the Orient.
It is said that all radio announcers are college grad
uates. We have .suspected that for some time.
An economist says no good business man is ever out
of debt. We appreciate this cheering information.
Possibly it might help us out of the depression if we j
would chloroform all the economists and finance experts, j
