TAKE OFFICE IN JANUARY
The Congress recently elected will take office in Jan
uary with only two weeks intervening between electior
and succession to office. This came about as a result of the
Norris amendment to the constitution, eliminating the
“lame duck” session which used to begin in March, following
an election. Under the old system the Congress elected
would not convene until December 1935.
Naturally, such a delay in taking office was not necess
ary in this modern era of transportation and transmission
of intelligence. However, it may be discovered, later on.
that two months is not quite long enough to wait after an el
ection and that changes in governmental policy come too
rapidly. Newly elected congressmen have a lot to learn be
fore assuming to direct the affairs of this republic and vote
upon the many important matters that come before them.
FINDING A NEIGHBOR
Let’s give a hand to thfe.good example of Surrey, Eng
land, who have set an example that may be copied with pro
fit to the entire world.
The town of Jarrow, in the north of England, described
as “the worst hit town in the country” by the depression,
is to be -the scene of an experiment so unusual that it is
news even across the Atlantic.
The people of Surrey, knowing of suffering in Jarrow,
resolved to go to her aid. Financed by the people of Surrey
a campaign is underway to get the people of Jarrow to dec
orate their own homes, thus giving the unemployed work.
The second step is to provide part time work, to get famil
ies to raise their own food, train young people for employ
ment elsewhere if necessary and then, finally, to find new
industries for those that Jarrow has lost through the de
pression.
Picture an American city hunting industry for a rival
city? However, let us note the exhibition of neighborliness
that Surrey affords. Truly it is one of the bright spots in a
world of worry. —Exchange.
RECOGNIZE MANCHUKUO?
Japan plays a very clever diplomatic game with the oth
er nations in regard to her puppet-state of Manchukuo, carv
ed out of Manchuria, Jehol, and other Chinese territory,
stolen from the ancient nation by the Japanese army.
The Japanese absolutely dominate the little puppet
state. Japanese citizens, many of them army officers, have
been appointed in high state positions, but Japan main
tains the fiction to the outside world that they are officers
of Manchukuo, and smilingly denies that the actions of the
little country are in any way controlled by Nippon.
The other day the government of Manchukuo announced
plans for an oil monopoly, ostensibly for itself but in reality
for the benefit of the Japanese. British and American oil
companies, facing heavy losses out there, called attention of
their governments to the program, as did the Dutch oil
firm. Then, the farce began.

The three governments, none of which had recognized
the independence of the little state, addressed their protests
to the Japanese at Tokyo. They smiled, refused to admit
any responsibility, and informed the complaining nations to
i make their representations to the government of Man
chukuo. This they can not do without recognizing the state.
So, it’s either recognize the state or let it do as it pleases. r
So, by the fiction of an independent state, Japan carries
forward its plans in Manchnfruo, without assuming any re
sponsibility. With its large army and powerful navy, the
Japanese Empire is ready to fight any nation which seeks to
challenge its right to the spoils and-booty of the Manchur
iian invasion.—Cordova Times.

leads the whole lot.

done.
“Now, my son,” said his fond mother, as the boy was
starting off to join the navy, “remember to be punctual in
rising every morning, so that you will not keep the captain
waiting breakfast for you.”
