Publications TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13. 1931 PEACE VS. WAR What could this mation do to restore peace if a war should break out between foreign powers, with the United States not a member of the League of Nations? These in favor of the United States joining the League of Nations have said that it would be impossible for America to do anything if she were not united with the other powers of the world in the League; but those opposed to her joining it have advanced the argument that she could do more to restore peace in being on the outside than if she were on the inside. The answer to this question, in part at least, will be made within the next few days. The struggle between Japan and China in the Manchurian district has not only led the League to intervene and see that these two powers do not engage in a great war, but it also made it necessary for the United States to define its stand on the Japanese-Chinese controversy. In a message to the League of Nations, President Howard and Secretary of State Simpson set forth the followin- statement. "On our part the American government, acting independently through its diplomatic representatives will endeavor to reinforce what the League does and will make clear that it has a keen interest in the matter and is not obliquous to the obligations which the disputants have assumed to their fellow simiators in the pact of Paris (Kellog-bonds treaty) as well as the nine-power Pacific treaty of 1922, should a time arise when it would seem advisable to bring forward these obligations." Although the United States is not a member of the League of Nations, it has shown its willingness to help the other nations of the world to enforce peace. It is the time of a crisis in which the Israeli interests of one nation or another may bring another disaster to the world, this time in the Pacific Ocean. Close co-operation of the different powers in and out of the League is absolutely necessary if the Manchurian controversy is to be settled without a war. The United States has responded to the call for co-operation, and it has done so in such a manner that one might well argue the point that this country can do more to enforce peace by staying out of the League of Nations than by becoming an active member; that is, providing its present stand on the Oriental controversy is taken seriously by all nations concerned. A lot of good American citizens like D Andrea, Capone's bodyguard, seem surprised when you tell tigem it's against the law to carry concealed weapons. PERHAPS NOT A BLACK SHEEP It is interesting and not a little edifying to note the treatment which the press has been giving the accounts of Mr. Edison's sickness. For a week now the papers have been full of the old inventor, of his innumerable services to mankind, of the kindness of his personality. In each of them has been a note of genuine sincerity, real and personal feeling, which is so sadly lacking in the treatment of much of our daily news. Edison is one of the world's great men, and he is not only a great man, but a great personality as well. The world will lose one of its finest characters when his injurying disease finally takes him. But it will be gratifying to know that the press of America has given him the treatment which he deserved. The Journalism of America has been accused of some crude and callous practices, and in some cases justly so. But it is proving itself worthy of a sacred trust. With a depth of feeling and a truly respectful heart it is escoring one of the world's grand old men to his magnificent end. The Italian Sock market dropped 50 points last night when Jack Sharkey, the Boston Gob, threw two nits full of dynamite under the "Man Mountain" Primo Carrera. BACK TO PROSPERITY We note that the depression, as a final ironic gesture has forced the prices of the popular New York revues down to the levels of 15 years ago. Both the Shubert and the Earl Carroll shows have announced a top price of $3 for night performances, and even the Ziegfeld Filles, with their "glorification of the American girl," have offered prices of $1 to $3 for the entire balcony. What a blow to America! People have been grouching about the depression for the last two years about how the prices have gone down how the money has disappeared, and how score jobs are, but we only realize at this minute that the depression has really hit us. When the American public allows its adjustment prices to drop there is something radically wrong with our economic system. American people are notoriously the most "immune consciousness" persons in the world. They pay more and more often for their so-called amusements than any other nation. So the reduction of theater prices to the level of fifteen cents ago is a radical step. It is virtually admitting the fact that we are in pretty tough circumstances, and when America admits anything you can bet there is a colored gentleman hiding somewhere in the woodpile. But suppose that there is only a psychological basis for all this depression talk. then we realize that the New York producers have made a very basty step. They should have shoved the prices up two or three dollars. That would beat all the economic programs in the country. Stick Al Jolson or Eddie Curtis on Broadway at a fifteen dollar top and we'd have good times in a week! CAN A HUSBAND SUPPORT HIS WIFE? A recent report issued by the census bureau at Washington shows that since 1920 the number of married woman gainfully in Kansas has increased from 5.2 to 8.3 per cent. At first glance these figures might prove astonishing to the average married man who flatters himself that he is providing his wife with the average amount of comforts. How does he know just when his wife may decide that she needs a new winter coat and go off and get her a job? Let's take another slant at the situation. The census bureau continues with the statement that of all the women gainfully employed only 29.1 per cent are married women, while 50.6 per cent are unmarried. Of the remainder, or 20.2 per cent, all are widows. Let us continue: of the 575,072 people gainfully employed in the state of Kansas, of both sexes, 82.8 per cent were men. So it seems that after all, for a few years at least, the men will have the double privilege of supporting the ladies who have inadvertently said, "I do!" Of course, if the job-hunting wife wants the best possible chance of finding a position, she should choose school teaching, for the statistics of the bureau show that in Kansas there are only 4,205 men school teachers, as compared to 18,405 women engaged in the same occupation. There are other positions which women may hold, some of them unusual, to say the least. In Kansas women are engaged in mail carrying, chauffeuring, tractor driving, and civil engineering. All of which means nothing save that a woman isn't so darn independent as at times she would lead one to believe.

Plain Tales By Mar'tery Ericsson A joint recital was given yesterday evening at the Administration Auditorium by Merlhatch Moore, soprano, and her husband, Dr. James School of Fine Arts. The hall was filled and the audience, as usual, enthusiastic. Although both performers took part in the recital, Moore who made the program outstanding and one truly worthwhile., Miss Conger's program was not of the highest quality but no great intellectuality in the literature and no great technique or depth of feeling in the performance of it. Tone-keeping is the best playing. With an extremely mediocre performance, she had all of the eccentricities that can be forgiven for her being a soloist. Miss Moore's recital was satisfying. Her great both of tone-color and of expression were real features, but because of her singing is that the lower notes are lost in the changing of placement.
