SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1930 A SET OF COMMON ERRORS The Journal-World, while it does not often agree with the Kanan, generally has our respect as being well-inform and sincere. Its editorial entitled "Ot Russian Playersmats" reprinted else where on this page, is however, an example of an editorial which assumes only a popular and rather common set of misconceptions about an import question, and which fails to see that the other side has any worthwhile or excusable motives for its actions. The editorial is based almost completely on the testimony of a former Russian employee, later fired by the Russians as unsatisfactory, who declares that he has full knowledge of the intentions of the Russian government. Is the testimony of a disgruntled employee about his employer's motives usually considered reliable? And should it be, here? "The purpose behind the move to unsettle foreign markets is to create want, dislocation of normal living and unrest—all a part of the civil war effort toward starting a "world revolution," says the Journal-World; "At this point I have a easy policy, so do a good many other Russian policies." These statements — remember that they are based on the remarks of an employee who was fire—have many common faults in attitude; first, they assume that the Russians still expect to start a "world revolution," an idea which, originally held by the U.S. S. R., was officially disclaimed by Lenin before he died; second, the editorial in general shows ignorance about the operations of wheat markets and the effects on them of selling such amounts of wheat as the Russians sold; third, it refuses to believe the Russians might have no other purpose in selling short than to "hedge" or protect themselves from financial loss; and fourth, it forgets that American speculators do every day just what the Russians did, and are regarded as smart. If we put ourselves in Russia's place and realize that she needs money desperately in order to buy machinery and factory equipment so as to complete the change from an agricultural, backward, peasant land to an industrial nation, and that the Russian people are willing to cut down on their food supply in order to get that money by selling wheat and other farm products abroad, we can be more sympathetic toward her. Under the same circumstances, we should do exactly the same things. In this case, the Russians were anticipating a falling market and trying to protect themselves; and a sale of five million bushels of wheat over several months' time upon an exchange where 50 to 60 million bushels of wheat change hands every day could have not any effect but a most unimportant one on the price of that commodity. We grant that speculation in wheat futures is wrong and should be controlled. But our limitations, when we have them, should apply to our own business men as well as to foreign business men. Not until that has become our policy will the farmers and the consumers be protected. THE PASSING OF A NOBLE TRADI Prohibition has triumphed! Gloria Patri! The saloon-keeper will have no separate classification under the 1930 census. There are still a few趴寡-leopons who are honest and fearless enough to declare their trade, but not enough to keep them from slipping down with the seasonal grinders, umbrella menders, garbage men, carret manufacturers, livery stable proprietors, and cemetery headings of "other occupations." Alas, poor salon-keeper! He was a man boozy and genial. He was a refuge for the homeless and outcast—when he had prospect of money, anyway. That he should be listed—not under "saukankeees," his right-hand name, or "other cupaions"—and with such company, too—it is too much. But, really, could anything better enter the strength of "the noble experiment" than the passing of the saloon-keeper? We suppose, however, that the dirty wets will wonder why there are saloon-keepers left at all. THE FREEDOM OF WOMEN We think of our country as a free country—giving equal rights to both sexes. This is not, however, the real truth about the matter. Women, whether it is realized or not, are far from possessing equal opportunities with men. By placing his partner on a pedestal, man has enslaved her. By "protecting" her, he has forced him into a kitchen. In some states in the South restrictions are still placed upon women entering state universities, although Florida is the only state which allows absolutely no women in its university. The university of Virginia requires that all women who marriagete in the vocational departments, which alone are open to them, must already have completed the first two years of collegiate work in some other college. Very few women are allowed in North Carolina university, Yale, Harvard, or Princeton. In industry, from the beginning of time, wages of women have been lower than the wages of men. Employed women have always encountered discrimination, merely because they are women. Gradually these prejudices are being broken down, but a considerable difference still exists. A woman teacher may do the same amount of work as a man, but he in almost every case will draw the higher salary. Laws in many states check married women's business activities. In Nevada, Texas, Pennsylvania, California, Massachusetts and North Carolina, married women may become sole traders only by securing permission. The college woman who goes out into the world expecting an equal chance in business with men will be disappointed. She will find that in most businesses men prefers勿 unless she is willing to work for a much lower salary. The dreams of Mary Wollsontaster have not yet come true. Lecturers and editors who mention faculty "women's equality" would do well to look about them and see the many restrictions—more ingrained into tradition than resting on actual law—which hedge women about and limit their aspirations. Woman's place is not only "in the home"; it should be just where she chooses to make it. The Fascist party in Germany has hopes of a "third empire". Its leader, Adolf Hitler, recently proclaimed the party's aspirations toward such a state, without any but very vague explanations of what he meant or how he would achieve it. THE THIRD EMPRIE The old German empire of 1870 was glorious, says he, but it was not democratic. The second, the present German republic, has been pacifist and democratic. The third is to be nationalistic—just as Fascism is in Italy. Never were the selfish states of any party so brazenly stated. Hilfers' frank, or perhaps unconscious, giving away of himself is almost unprecedented. What he wishes is power—power to make Germany jingo and narrow in its outlook. It is not a high ideal, or one which makes for security, that he holds. He was a great republic of Germany not been "democracy" would not have the German nation so remarkably pulled out of the blackness here. The Fascists have shown themselves in their true colors as opportunism; it is now up to Germany to repudiate them. Our Contemporaries OUR RUSSIAN PLAYMATES Bail W. Delgas, once vice president of the soviet trading corporation in the United States, rays it is true that Russian policy includes the dumping of goods from countries with foreign zarkets, even though thousands of Rusians may be in need of bread. At this distance it looks like a crazy man, but there are many Russian policies. To the little group of men who are the Russian government it may appear pretty wise. The Russian economy depends on foreign markets to be create want, dislocation of normal living and unrest—all a part of the Soviet effort toward overthrow of Hitler. The zealots of the bolshie regime have never left sight of that objective and probably have no difficulty in convincing themselves that the work should be done. And people in Russia have to go hungry. Soviet authorities may have thel. own interpretation of the statement of Mr. Delgass. He is not working for them now, having failed, it is said, to persuade him that Moscow is rapidly as Moscow expected. They may assert that his story is told not because it is true but because he was fired. But reports from London and elsewhere support his version of what the Russian government is doing in the mar- Lawrence Journal-World, 9-26-30 ENERGY WITHOUT FIRE OBJECT OF OCEAN POWER PLAN (Science Service) Although some engineers have criticized the Frenchman's novel apparatus as being impractical and point to serious difficulties to be overcome, they have worked out a way. The apparatus resembles closely the usual steam power plant that uses a fire to make its steam. But in the plant at Mantanares, there is no place where steam can be used. Any of the apparatus will be that of the incoming water from the surface of the ocean at about 80 degrees Fahrenheit. This enters the boiler or steam generator after passing through it and then flowing into the dissolved atmosphere and gases. Water which comes from deep in the ocean and is 30 degrees cooler than the air that is brought to the condenser at the other end of the system. As in the ordinary steam power plant, it is used to convey water from the generator through the turbine. Home Grown Peaches Herkimer, N.

State Charges Farmer with Fraud Hutchinson, Sept. 27—A state warrant was issued here today against James G. Graber, a farmer, on a compliance charge of the state auditor, charging Graber made false affidavits in connection with gasoline tax refund charges.

Kansas Farmer Has Hair-Raising Experience of Viewing a Twister From Inside: Escape Uncathed Dodge City — The thrilling tale of a man who saw the inside of a tornado and lived, unhurt, to tell of his experiences, in contained in a report made to him by an investigator at an office here, by Will Keller, a farmer near Greensburg, Kansas. Though it happened two years ago, Mr. Justice considers the account of such importance that he has reported it to the current headquarters in Washington. Release Service Mr. Keller explained that on the afternoon of June 22, 1928, he noticed the approach of a dark cloud and saw that it was not only one tornado, but three. "I have seen a number of these things and have never been panic-striken when near them, through the approach, but when I had explained an impressive sight," he explained. Two of the tornadoes were some distance away but the near one appeared to be much larger than the others and it occupied the central position of the cloud, the great swirl of wind at that point. "Steady the tornado once over at last the great shaggy end of the funnel hung directly overhead. Everything was just as strong a gody odor and it seemed that I could not breathe. There was a serrambling, hissing sound coming directly out of the funnel. I looked up and to my surprise entered into the heart of the tornado. There was a circular opening in the center of the funnel, about 50 or 100 feet in diameter for a distance of at least one half mile, as best I could judge under the circumstances. The walls of this opening were of relating clouds and the wind would whip constantly constant flashes of lightning which zigzagged from side to side. Had it not been for the lightning I could not have seen the rain, not any distance up to it anyone. "Around the lower rim of the great wortel small formulations were certainly available, but looked like tails as they writhed their way around the end of the formula. It was a sort of bait." The "tornado" was not traveling at a great speed. I had plenty of time to get a good view of the whole thing, and we were on the edge of Greenburg, which town is 3 miles west and 1 mile north of our place. Its course was not in a straight line, but it zigzagged across the country in a general northerly direction. Archaelogists Discover Scribblings On Walls of Ancient Roman House Selumur Semester Rome—One family of ancient Rome would no doubt be greatly entertained if it could see archaeologists of 1530 made the discovery on a handmade on the walls of their house. The drawings, recently discovered, are such as children of ancient Rome, or any other ancient city, on a handy place of clean wall space. The house of these wall decorations stood in the famous Appian Way about 400 years ago, and it became the Empire of Rome. Its ruins have hain buried beneath almost 40 buildings. Rome's San Sebastian stands over the site. Prof. Francisco Fornari, Romar archaeologist who has been Prof. Francesco Formi, Roman archaeologist who has been studying the mural akethea, see in some of them pictures of fighting gladiators armed with shields, spears, and swords. Another sketch is believed to show an officer buried. Rows of long and short lines of fire indicate flames, and there are soldier-like figures on either side who appear to be stabbing up the flames with a hammer. The drawings were made by the children of some Roman fighter's household. Other parts of the walls are adorned with stones done by more professional hands.
