The big broad, tall, raw bonof_fight-and._abounding energy presently tamed down, and the present Emperor of Manchoukuo is a sample of latter day Manchus who remained in China. In other words China overwhelms her conquerors, or at least has done so in the past.” To assume that the same thing will happen to the Japanese, is perhaps to assume too much, True the Japanese are really only another race of Mongols, but their temperament is very different’ from, that of the Chination which has “gone Occidental.”’ Most of their leaders have been educated in the United States and Europe. They are overwhelmingly ambitious and nationalistic. A regimented nation them selves, it will not be surprising if they are able to regiment the Chinese to some extent. For a good many years the ‘‘Yellow Peril’ has been the bogey of Western races, and if there is such a thing, it is palpably much nearer now. Assimulation of Japenese may come in some hundreds of years, but before it occurs, much may happen on this sphere of ours. nese.

It is high time that something were done to limit the operation of these huge, heavy vehicles on the highways. Their gross receipts tax and other taxes do not begin to offset their putential danger and nuisance. The United, States is now embarked on aten year period during which it will tutor the Phillippines. At one time it was feared that, when this country surrendered the islands, Japan would step in and. take them over. Apparently this no longer need be feared. Japan has a much larger -task in China, an enterprise which, if left alone, should ‘occupy her for at least a century. In the meantime the Filipinos will have an opportunity to develop self-government, Whether the United States will ever sev er all bonds with these islands, and come to a point at which the people there will be placed on exactly the same basis as other foreign nations, is doubtful. For one thing, a great deal of American capital is invested there, and for another, if the Pacific should ever be the storm center of another might easily be a large factor in American victory or defeat. Selling used cars at any time is a capricious business. But it seems, from the accounts of dealers, as if the New Deal, or if a Republican were describing it, the ‘return to normaley,’’ was making it a bit more difficult than usual to sell used ears. The reason if that everyone, who -can afford’ it, prefers a new ear. Now a condition has far more general than it was a year ago. More people find themselves sufficiently prosperous to buy new cars instead of used cars .The result is that real. bargains in. used cars go begging these days, and an other iresult is that ‘blue book’’ values for used cars are dropping.
