From the Caroline Islands, that fine powder of islands lying in the West Pacific, the Japanese sampans point southward. They cross the Equator, weave through the maze of the East Indian Archipelago toward Australia's New Guinea and North Australia. In the shallow waters of the Coral Sea along the Great Barrier Reef, 1,000 mi. from home, they find what they want but it is in Australian waters. Long since, the Australian Government has protested to Tokyo via London against their poaching. But Japan had not the heart to discourage such energetic citizens. Last week Australia got ready...
...young college instructor. Without glasses he is more apt to resemble a high-pressure magazine salesman. He has two sons by his first wife, who died in 1930.

Along the east waterfront of Manhattan one day in 1844, sailors and loungers beheld a startling sight.

...will for this reason play right into the hands of the administration, just as did the miscarriage of the Wirt inquisition, and the blasts of the Seven Wise Men of Harvard. In the long run the President will find himself in the difficult position of interpreter between a hostile East and West, speaking different economic language. It will be his impossible job to prove to the East that the West has the best interests of the Country at heart, and explain to the West that the Yankees are not opposed to reasonable agrarian reform. For the present, however, criticism from...
What can the Powers do about it? Not much. The European powers are too greatly concerned over the Central European situation to do more than mouth unimpressive nothings about the Far East. It was in a similar pother over Central Europe that Japan managed to annex a considerable portion of what had once been Europe's trade with the Far East, so that it would appear that history is repeating itself in a strangely short time. The League of Nations will consider, delay, expostulate, threaten, be extremely firm, and Japan will emerge with what she desires. It has been said...
