I The Lytton Report THE report of the league of nations commission headed by Lord Lytton confirms the opinion held throughout this country that responsibility for the Manchurian episode of a ; year ago rests largely with Japan, although China is culp able for her failure to sustain organized government in those I V.rovinces and improper treatment of Japanese interests. 'The Japanese attacks at Mukden and elsewhere were not de- fensive and were not justified says the report; and the new e state of JManchukuo.is spuritfus. The Lytton report recom mends some form of international control be established there temporarily and that China and Japan seek to work l out a solution of their difficulties. - i ; Japan resents the Lytton report and the Japanese press 1 .js severe in condemnation. They insist that the new state was created by the "spontaneous will of Manchuria's 30,000 people". Japan further proclaims a "Monroe doctrine" for '-' Asia and virtually serves notice that force alone will oust her from control of the puppet state of Manchukuo. The situation is fraught with extreme danger. Japan has no intention of relaxing her grip on Manchuria. She needs it to fullf ill her "manifest destiny in the far east. :. China's government is so disorganized that that vast country j may lapse into, an amorphous mass of land and humans, a prey to banditry, communism, military dictatorship. . - Foreign nations will not interfere. The United States may announce lofty purposes; but this country will not 1 wage war to get the Japs out of Mukden. The probability is that Japan is in Manchuria to stay, no matter how unjusti fiable the means she took to establish power there. The real ! danger to Ja tin lies not so much in the scowls of foreign na- tions as in tne bleeding of the national treasury. Evidence accumulates that Japan finds the Manchurian excursion a ! costly drain on her finances. Force and war are fast outlaw I ; ing themselves by proving so 'utterly exhausting to the mod - ern state. Steady Hand at Helm THE address of Leslie M. Scott, chairman of the state highway commission convinced the people of Salem that a steady hand is at the helm of its affairs. As Mr. Scott said, the state spent money on its roads without due regard to payday; and payday has arrived.' Just when payday comes people find it hard to pay; so tion for sharp cuts in the auto We are not surprised. The ago to urge a stock-taking of our road program, and to rec ommend a slowing down in the rate of building so that li censes could be reduced. The the roads at no matter what to furnish the money to pay for Chairman Scott wisely course in connection with the sue no more bonds. Second, restrain cuts to an amount which will not endanger service on money as efficiently as possible. ; - The state must settle down to a slower program of con struction. Maintenance costs increases. Debt charges are at their peak but in a few years will scale down rapidly. Most of the essential roads of the state have been completed. The other "luxury" roads will have to nrosrress without becoming a great drain on the funds. While there are agitators legislature should be cautious. ligations; and the state is not construction. The legislature mendations of the highway commission in very large degree. Time for a Weather Change THE weather man has been fooling us for a month and longer; Usually we may set our calendars for the rain at about Labor day. This year September was crisply dry; and October opens as a summer month. Fires abound in the hills and smoke fills the air. It is the character of our north western climate to stay fixed for quite a spell. When it rains, it rains; and rarely does anything slse. When the sun shines, it shines for days and weeks As-now wejsay we long persistent summer soon no doubt we shall be lamenting the incessant downpour and crying out for a day when the sun may'show his face."

The Oregon crop of prunes es timated by buyers some weeks ago at $500,000 now bids fair to exceed that figure. One hundred dollars per ton is being paid free ly.

J. HENDRIC-RS- "Little pigs to college:" S S Slightly different from the mat tor in this column in the issues of Saturday and yesterday, about the boys who walked 600 miles to come to Willamette, and the cas ualty list and the compensations of college presidents in America, is an editorial artlale in the Port land Journal of Saturday, under the above heading, "Little Pigs to College." It read: s s "When you bear that hens are being traded for courses In adver tising these days you reflect that hens that lay eggs were the orig inal advertisers. "When you are told that pigs are being accepted in lieu of dues for business education there I also the reminder that pigs have always been good rooters. b 'And when yon learn that duck and geese take the place of mon ey in classical business courses It is easy to remember that, all maxims to the contrary notwith standing, these are Just about the wisest of all the birds thatfly or waddle.

Now If she goes on to learn how cotton is carded, woven and made Into dresses, aprons and un dershirts her future value to the race will be Immensely Increased.
