But Edison the great inventor and benefactor of mankind will live forever in the memory of those millions who, through his genius, were able to know and enjoy a larger and fuller life. Much was written about him while he lived and much more will be written now that he is dead. But mere words, no matter how beautifully phrased or how deeply impelled, will express the sense of bereavement felt by even the humblest person who has received the benefits of his life The fail import of the passing of Eldon, like eternity, is beyond the comprehension of the mind. But the individual homage of men throughout the world, even if never uttered outside the heart, will form a more fitting tribute to the achievements and memory of the great Wizard than can all the public eulogies and speeches that ever will be reverenced him. AND HE SMILES Al Capone, public enemy No. 1 and the gang ear of Chicago and points west, was found guilty of evading the income tax by a jury that delivered 8 hours and 30 minutes. When the verdict was returned to the court, Capone smiled and accepted his fate nonchallantly. Perhaps the citizens of Chicago smiled, too, when they were told that the jury deliberated 8 hours and 30 minutes, but surely the smiles must have been ironical. It seems rather strange that a man should head a contingent of racketeers for years, pedal alike throughout the metropolitan area of Chicago, participate in gang war where an innocent bystander was occasionally murdered and bribe the law for protection without ever being tried on these charges. Perhaps Capone mount by that smile that he would find some means of evading the prison sentence that should follow, as easily as he has evaded the law under other conditions. Just how effective does Capone consider the laws of this country? In the past he has considered them lightly, if one takes his activities as a basis for conclusion. It is about time this gang leader were made to feel the force of law, not only for the punishment be so justly deserves, but also as an example to other gang leaders who have come to smile at the law along with Capone. With the new student hospital near completion, many students are now complaining that it will take one big joy out of life—the privacy of the Pi Phi bench. A JAPANESE CRISIS Why does the Japanese government present such a stubborn front against the League of Nations and the United States over the rich Manchurian province in China, knowing that it will lose the economic patronage of the great powers of the world if a war is declared over the issue? The best possible answer to this question is a strong national feeling that Japan has always felt for its citizens and the fact that, as always, the Japanese government is faced with an economic crisis. Manchuria is a rich district. It offers opportunities for people with mercenary tendencies. The Japanese are mercenary, but it is impossible for them to satisfy these tendencies within the boundaries of their own territory because of its over-populated condition. Consequently they have moved into Manchuria where they are offered better economic possibilities. The Japanese government is not willing to have its citizens expatriate themselves, and guards its citizenship jealously. Now, with 1,000,000 Japanese living in Manchuria under the Chinese flag, Japan is anxious to see that the million do not swear allegiance to the Chinese government. Should the Japanese government find it possible to secure Manchuria as an additional province, it would not only mean a strong foothold on the continent, but it would also mean that a selfish mercenary and patriotic feeling would be satisfied—two great hazards to the problem of adjusting a permanent peace for the world. A LETTER FROM DR. RADIKE Berlin W. 15, Duisburgstrasse October 2nd, 1931 Two days before my departure from New York I had to go to the Customs House in order to get an "Individual Income Tax" certificate for departing immigrants. I took the man, and after a little cross-examination he handed over to me a paper stamped with longer red letters in income tax, least of a small salary). Then he looked at me rather pitifully: Why are you going back to Germany? I tell him that I'm not least of a small salary). Then he came back to the Fatherland, the political island was tighter than ever, and the minimum while a compromise keeps the rather heterogeneous parties of the government together. The result is a compromise between all the minorities and see what will come of it. Nobody can forewhelm which movement in going or turn out the most powerful. In fact, Mr. Spartan law: that in case of civil war the citizens had to side with one of the two parties. With our current social situation so complex that most people are at a less what to do. One thing is certain, radium is bound to increase in numbers as long as there is no improvement. Of course, Germany is trying desperately to save herself. She keeps dismissing civil servants in large numbers; but she has been bungling out, no new public buildings any more, reduction of charities to a starvation minimum. But all this is turning out to be a kind of vicious circle, where the average citizen at a time when he should buy as much as possible to keep the plastic and foodstores gone. Nevertheless, I am not downhearted, we have convinced that, in the long run, Germany will pull through, even through this coming hard winter, avoiding ruin because of the continuing unemployment between 7 and 8 million (about 5 at present). There is only one way out of the present economic crisis: exporting workers to the developing countries in minimum. But here Germany has to face a rather awkward situation: tariff walks and the keen English competition on account of the present low rate of Realizing that it might be impossible for Germany to save herself by her own efforts, everything has been tried to get support from outside. We all know the importance of the German economy in the stability of the German economic system brought about a monetary revival. Credit was withdrawn at the moment Germany wanted it very badly, or it was offered at conditions that required self-selling nation could succeed. Thus, Germany is willing to arrange her own affairs without foreign help, hoping that her creditors will not increase difficulties by nervousness. What is the good of running central Europe by too much financial pressure? How encouraging would be any little sign of sympathy for a nation struggling very hard for her repatriation to save the reputation of her honesty. From letters and newspapers I learn that conditions in U. S. A. are rather harsh. The United States has with regard to the future of North America justifiable. On my last trip through that vast continent with its vast interior, we saw a population I gained the impression that the present slump cannot possibly last long enough. It will be optimize on principle. I hope United States will recover very soon, as that would mean recovery to the rest of the world. But not only did I envy you the riches of your soil, I was at the same time deeply impressed. Where nature natural finds things to compare with the lofty height of Pike's Peak, the charm of Santa Fe, the magic of Grand Canyon where a glacier crashes into the Pacific Coast with its orchards, giant Redwoods, beautiful cities and towns like San Francisco, Crater Lake, Mount Rainier, Yoosite, Seattle. How strange to see the geyers and wild bears at Riverside, where desert turned into a Garden of Eden by hard pioneer work in Utah. Crossing the Rockies from Salt Lake City to Denver, where they back again in the prairie and the vast corn and wheat reservoirs of dear old Kansas.
