CHAOTIC CHINA
Conditions in China are in a chaotic state, which,
viewed from any standpoint, augurs ill for the peace of the
world. Torn by civil war for many months, and now with
the victorious Cantonese faction divided between moderate
and radical elements, there appears to be no responsible
government with which the other powers may negotiate
concerning recent outrages upon their nationals.
Still, it appears that those powers, including the Unit
ed States, are seeking to enforce demands for punishment
of offenders, with apologies and reparations, while both
groups of Nationalists deny responsibility.
It is lamentable that innocent white non-combatants
have suffered from these outrages, but it is difficult to
see how^ much can in justice be done about it when it is so
difficult to identify the perpetrators.
The truth is that the white nations have exploited
China in the past and have imposed upon the Chinese con
ditions that no white nation would have tolerated without
a fight. And until the white nations shall treat the Chi
nese as human beings, entitled to their own traditions’ cul
ture, customs and religions, there can be no permanent set
tlement of the vexing questions now pressing for solution.
Presumably, white people go into China with their
eyes open. When conditions become unhealthy they
should be prepared to get out.
The Pons-Winnecke comet will approach within 3,500,
000 miles of the earth on June 27, according to the astron
omers- but if it comes considerably nearer there is no cause
for alarm. We passed through the tail of Halley’s comet
in 1910 without any noticeable discomfort, Comets are not
as dangerous as they look.
Who can remember the day when they husked and
shelled a bushed of corn, carried it to mill in front of the
saddle on the slowest and gentlest horse on the farm, fished
in the mill pond while it was being ground and made lunch
on a piece of crackling bread and hog jowl?
The experiment of employing real cowpunchers from
the range at Hollywood has its disadvantages. Only yes
terday someone branded one of the movie queens with
a “K ”
The Presbyterian general assembly advocates more
laws to regulate the moral conduct of mankind. We may
look for a few more farces like the prohibition law, a pro
duct of intolerance, bigotry and a confession that the
advocates of such measures are incapable, by teaching- to
hold influence over the masses.
As usual, platform makers will be chosen next year
on account of their skill in dodging issues.
Speaking of capital punishment, it appears that mur
derers are almost unanimously against it.
Those Chicago bandits who robbed a glue factory
were no doubt experienced stick-up men.
