The nations adopted the open-door policy in Manchuria. Japan adheres to that policy only insofar as it opens the door for herself. She has adopted the policy of freezing out competition so that she may get all the profits. Japan's whole course tends to show her aggressive policy. She has over 65,- -000 troops in Manchuria instead of 15,000 allowed by treaty. She would seem to have deliberately broken the 9cpower treaty of 1922 and the Kellogg Briand Paét of 1928 by violating the territorial integrity of China and in- stead of seeking the arbitration of the League has resorted to arms. The powerlessness of the League to help China grows more apparent, in spite of cries for disarmament. Can you blame China if she feels that her onlyhopeistobearmedtotheteeth 4nd to fight to the last man? A boy- cott of Japan by all the nations of the League has been suggested as a means Japan. The latter could find other mar but practically and economically it is scarcely feasible. Great Britain’s ex- port trade to Japan for the last five years was o‘r $326,000,000, with China $322,..000000 Britain’s import trade for last five years was $206,000,000 from Japan and $238,000,000 from China. To lose Japan's immense trade would be of reprisal for Japan’s breaking her treaties. It is hardly to be expected that this will take place. It is tanta- mount to the nation’s declaring war on Japan. As an ideal it may be all right China presents a. united front to a common foe.

The boy said he could, and the min- ister said: “Well, let’s hear you.” The little fellow began to whistle, and then insisted that the minster should try again. He did so, and the boy acknowledged that it was good whistling, and as he started away the little fellow said: “Wen, if you can whistle better, what were you whist- ling that way for?" “No,” said the minister, “can you beat it?” A minister tells how, when a boy, he was a great whistler, and sometimes whistled in unusual and unseemly places. One day, not long since, says an exchange, he came out of a hotel whistling quite low. A little boy play- ing in the yard heard him, and said: “Is that the best you can whistle?” Miss Margaret Lennox, for the past five years and a half linotype Opera- tor in the Chronicle oflice, has re- signed her position and left yesterday for her home at Mount Forest where she will be one of the principals in an interesting event the end of the month.

The League might give a mandate over Manchuria to Japan, but Japan’s flouting of the League would scarcely be conducive to that. Also such a solution would be un- lets.

Japan contin- ually protests that China strikes first” but to use the words of Shakespeare,' “Methinks the villain doth protest too much.” I DO YOUR BEST Here are some reliable proverbs which foretell the kinds of seasons and crops we can expect: “Year of snow, fruit will grow." This proverb is scientifically sound, says Doctor Humphries, for when we have a cold winter with a blanket of snow continually covering the ground. there is no chance of unseasonable ' The foregoing proverb, together with :certain others, is recognized by the United States Weather Bureau as scientifically sound, according to Doc- tor William J. Humphries, and can be relied upon as fully as the weather reports in the daily newspapers. As a matter of fact some of the signs are used by the bureau to aid in forecast- ing the weather. Other reliable proverbs that Doctor Humphries, who is an au- thority on forecasting, tells us are wor- thy and worth remembering are as fol- lows: "Evening red and morning grey, Two sure signs of one fine day.” “The higher the clouds, the finer the weather.” “Trace in the sky the painter’s brush. The winds around you soon will rush.” “Where’er the clouds do weave, ’Twill storm before they leave.” “Rainbow at night, shepherd’s delight, Rainbow in the morning, shepherd’s “And in the morning, it will be foul weather today; for the sky is red and lowering.” “He answered and said unto them When it is evening! ye say, It will be fair weather; for the sky is red. ages.

As the sun was aettlng perhaps (By Edwin D. Snyder) THE DURHAM CHRONICLE H A rumor circulating in Mount For- est, to the effect that a Toronto firm may locate in that town, is greeted with enthusiasm. The firm will manufacture radio cabinets and a mime site is the old carriage factory, which has been closed since April last. This will be quite a boost to Mount Forest as this factory, at one time being worth $800 a year in taxes, is now yielding no rev- enue whatever. the second year course, and that a position would thus be comparatively easy to get. This is discouraging news for them we would think. mier Henry, Minister of Education, that in view of present conditions the isecond year normal course will not be compulsory for the year 1932-1933, al-‘ though if voluntary enrollment is sut- 1 flciently large, second year courses willl be taught at Toronto and Stratford; normals.

This ruling naturally was not fa» vored by teachers generally and this one year extension will be well received, especially with conditions as they are, as teachers were reluctant to give up their positions as well as deplete their j savings of the past four years, by the' expense of another year’s study.
