A JAPANESE WITH
0CCIDENTAL PHILOSOPHY
A Japanese girl, born and educated in the United
States recently journeyed to Japan for a prolonged
visit and tour having a grandfather and other rela-
tives in the Land of Nippon. When writing to friends
ill this country she sings the praises of the United
States in about every paragraph of a lengthy letter
6nd in closing writes, "Physically in Japan, Mentally
in the U.S.A." Everywhere, says this peculiar Ameri-
can product, she sees, hears and feels war. It fills the
newspapers, it blares out on the radio and from her
abode she hears machine-gunners at target practice.
"People at home, in the United States, do not realize
how fortunate they are."
Her first hand information is that the Japanese
are talking about seven years of war, presumably
with China. She is greatly shocked to hear and
see the military attitude of all the people, particu-
larly the younger generation. The Japanese imbue
their youth with the thought that there can be no
greater glory than death in their country's cause.
This super-patriotism, if it may be called that, is
traditional.
Of even greater interest than the information con-
tained by this letter is the fact that the American-
born Japanese girl has the complete occidental philo-
sophy. This may be attributed to the fact that she re-
ceived Christian religious training and was educated
in the public schools. It does disprove in part that fam-
ous quotation which has almost become factual, "East
is East and West is West and ne'er the twain shall
meet."

AN UNACCOUNTED
BLESSING OF MACHINE AGE
That much-maligned Machine Age we live in would
seem to have some compensations after all.
It isn't all robots and treadmills and men's-souls-
crushed-by-the-Great-God-machine stuff. Take the case
of Charles Groat of Elizabethtown, Pa.
" Mr. Groat suffered a compound fracture of the
arm while cranking his auto. On the way to a Har-
risburg hospital, his car stopped suddenly, threw
him forward. The sudden jerk set one of the frac-
tures. The doctors set the other.
Mark up a credit for the Machine Age.

Nazi correspondents write home complaining they
were not invited to a cocktail party at the Lima confer-

will have their beer rations cut now.

FDR's inflation Scare Made Private
Investment Impossible, Flynn Says
I!) Joint T. Hynn
There is violent argu-
ment in progress-, of which
Mr. Marriner Eccles is the
center, on the effect which
the government's spending
program lias had upon the
course of business.
Mr. Eccles says such re-
covery as we have had was
the result of government
spending and that without
it the country would have
been ruined.
His critics say had it. not
been for the government's
spending policy private in-
vestment would have gotten
into action and that real
recovery has been prevent-
ed by government spend-
ing.
Both sides ignore some
important factors. There is
no doubt that Mr. Eccles is
right when he says the re-
covery we have had has
been due to government
spending. He is also right
when he says that without
government spending the
country would have been
ruined. His critics weaken
themselves when they at-
tempt to deny these facts.
But whether the govern-
ment spending has produc-
ed any "real" recovery is an-
other matter. Whether the
spending has been wise is
also another story. And even
more important is the ques-
tion whether the polieie.-,
accompany i nt,' government
spending have been calculat-
ed to aid recovery. On these
points the verdict must be
against the government.
Private investment is es-
sential to the functioning of
the capitalist system. The
government spending pro-
gram was designed to take
the place of private invest-
ment. Now private invest-
ment had completely collaps-
ed by 1031. This was not the
fault of the government,
but of the folly of private
business preceding that col-
lapse. Two great, problems
: iced the nation as a result.
One was to reform the abus-
es which had fouled the sys-
tem. The other was to .stimu-
late recovery.
Many, like the writer, urg-
ed that reform should come
first, that it should Vie di-
rected at essentials and
should be carried through
swiftly. Then recovery
should be in order.
The necessity for carry-
ing through essential re-
forms swiftly is obvious
since a commercial system
cannot possibly flourish in
the midst of continuous re-
form.
This, however, was not
done. An example is the
fact that only now is the
adnimislralion getting r>-
round to Wall Street 'and
the Exchange.
With the system reform-
ed ancl the public apprised
that reform was at an end
and that government would
then devote its energies to
consolidating and stabilizing
the system, private invest-
ment might have been re-
sumed.
Instead almost everything
in the world was done to
introduce uncertainty into
affairs—the half-baked, in-
digested money policies, the
uncertainties about devalua-
tion and, above all, the Pre-
sident's appallingly unnec-
essary loose talk—big talk—-
about doing things he never
had any intention of doing.
The spending program
was unavoidable. But it
was never intelligently plan-
ned. The same stimulation
could have been obtained
with half the money.
But worst of all was the
attempt to use the spend-
ing program to bolster pric-
es, and to create the im-
pression that the spending
program would be used to
regulate and direct the eco-
nomic. system.
This created the great.e; i.
fear of all—the fear of in-
flation.

Sparks broke off tackle for

put up a stonewall defense to

seven.

four yards in three downs.
Zwaeki punted out J,o I he 43,

Wilkinson, substitute fullback,

taking the ball to the.one-yard
line where Carnegie made anoth-
er gallant, goal line stand. On
the fourth clown O'Brien elected
to try a place kick.
The little quarterback of T.
C.U. dropped back to his 10-
yard stripe and the ball sailed
through the middle of the cross
bars.
T.C.U. had perfect weather
and looting for its vaunted pass-
ing attack and made the most
of it. O'Brien pitched 28 passes
and 17 of them were complet-
ed for a 00 per cent average.
Aerials accounted for 225 yards
of the total 361 the Horned
Frogs gained. Carnegie tried on-

for 50 yards.

piled up 17 first downs to Car-
negie's 10, and was forced to
punt but once during the game.
There were only four fumbles,
each team making two and each
recovering the other's mispl. ys.
Leo (Dutch) Meyer, T. C. U.
coach, praised Carnegie Tech';,
fight ing spirit.
"it's the - best team Ave played
all season, and you can bet they
are. going to make a lot of trou-
ble for those,' eastern clubs next
year," he said.
Bill Kern, coach of Carnegie,
took the defeat philosophically,
"A better team beat us, bi t I
am proud of the way my l ays
stayed in there and fought right
to the end."
The victory gave T. C. U. its
second Sugar Bowl title. The
Frogs nosed out Louisiana State

the largest crowd ever to see
