HOLDING BACK WAR
TTTHILiB the diplomats are still talking about abiding by the
terms of the Knllogj pact and trying to devise ways and
means of getting the Chinese-Russian disputes settled amicably,
the guns are beginning to roar along the Manchurlan front.
The situation does not seem to argue very strongly for the
practicability of the peace agencies and It seems to sustain
the contention of many people that mere declarations such as
the Kellogg pact are a very thin protection against explosive
mass animosities. a
It should be remembered, however, that the conditions In
Manchuria make It exceedingly hard to obtain perfect control
during the difficult period of diplomatic maneuvering. Neither
Russia nor China has a government capable of rigorous control
of either the populations or the armed forces along the border.
Among the Chinese especially, large numbers of armed but
relatively undisciplined troops ara under the louse leadership
of more or less Irresponsible local chieftains. The so-called
"white guards," exiled Russians nd others are little beyond
th status of brigands. The soviet forces In the area are only
poorly controlled. It Is an altogether different ultuatlca from
what would bo presented If the dispute were between two
strongly governed nations wllh armed forceB trained to the
strictest obedience to orders.
,. It Is doubtful If border clashes can be prevented and thoy
may grow much worse than they have been before they are
checked. But there Is still a great deal of hope that formal
war to the death between the two huge nations can be averted.
The border bloodshed will make the process ot settlement much
more difficult than otherwise, but nothing has yet occurred, so
far as we xnow, to alter the Intentions of the national leaders to
seek peaceful adjustment. And as a powerful force In the
background Is the overwhelming world-wide sentiment against
seeing these people hurled Into real war.

Oregon. A brick costs only t We believe there are at least
60,000 people out of this state's million who will be willing to

to make everybody realise how shamefully the facilities for

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor Journal of the Amerioan
Medical Association and of Hy
gela, the Health Magazine
VJOST people think that the oxy
gen they breathe ii the im
portant factor in regulating their
respiration.
Lrs. Yandell Henderson and
Howard W, IlaKgard ot the de
partment of physiology in Yale Uni
versity point out that oxygen is the
fundamental controlling factor in
the adjustment of breathing.
If a person fa suddenly deprived
of oxygen, he breathes more rap-
idly, but the oxygen reserve In the
human body is email and if we
were dependent on oxygen to regu
late our breathing the rate and
rhythm of inspiration would be
very uneven. I hiring ordinary
breathing, the lungs contain about
Si quarts of air, of which 10 per
cent ls'oxygen.
There are in the human being
about five quarts of blood. The
blood In the arteries contains a Unit
19 per rent of oxygen and that in
the veins about 15 per cent. The
real regulator of breathing Is not
the oxygen breathed In, but the
Pressure of carbon dioxide that
Hppenu to be passing through the
lungs. The carbon dioxide is the
end product offc. breathing. Tit
mess of carbon dioxide held in the
body is large aa compared with the
oxygen.
Every movement of the body or
bill the Republicans cooked up
would not be opposed hy as much
aa a corporal's guard.
It was also an accepted suppo
sition that the country at large was
ao thoroughly aold on protection
that any new tsriff bill, no mat
ter how high Its scale of duties,
would be greeted by hoSHtiuas
from the hoiiRotops and public
thanksgiving meetings at the town
pump.
Sky Was the Limit
Serenely confident that nil these
things were true, the rulers of the
House of Representatives jammed
through a tariff bill with the slo
gan that the sky' was the limit and
no one eiiwota any further trou
ble, though tt was supported the
hard-boiled Republican majority on
the Senate finance rommittee
would adopt a general program of
further elevation.
Welt already the bill has been
for some time In a terrible jam
and when Uie fitmuce committee's
bill hits the Semite floor it prob
ably will entr a period of macera
tion. No man knoweth the final
outcome, but all sensible persons
have had to readjust their views
aliout the tariff ns su issue.
In the firm place, a swell fight
has developed.
In the second place, the tariff Is
as much a party issue as it ever
wan. Oemoeratio national head
quarters has been issuing unremit
ting daily blasts against tfie House
bill and the Reput'limus of the fi
nance committee, for months. Most
1 democratic senators have spon
sored biting and withering denun
ciations of the bill and Republican
intentions in general. It actually
looks as if the I democrats were
more effectively united aptnM the
House bill or anything like it than
they have been on any other issue
in the lust several years.
Newspapers Critical
In the third place and most Im
portant the country is not In any
receptive mood. By such means as
the country is able to protest it
has been squawking steadily and
some time ago word came from
the White House that a study of
clippingi shoned nine mil of ten
newspapers actually critical.
Th effect of this popular dis
approval of many of the proposed
increases is plainly to be seeu in
the swt'M tings sod wnthings of
Senators Smoot. Heed. Wat.vou and
other RepuNican leaders uow
wretlit'ir wgh the bill.
The fight on the 1 louse provi
sions ha-t come from many sourc
es from powerful corporations
acting in self interest and from the
most altruistic sources at the snuie
tune. The sugar trust, made up
principally of American interests
operating in Cuba, led the fight on
the House three-cent sugar rate,

limbs' results in the production of
an increased amount of carbon di
oxide and causes tha absorption of
an amount of oxygen which corre
sponds to the energy used up. This
carbon dioxide Is carried by the
blood to a place in the hrais which
conliols the activities of the mus
cles' of the cheBt and the dia
phragm. Hence it .controls the
rate and rhythm of respiration.
To prove the fact, the experi
menters cuuaed men to breathe
pure oxygen. The rate and the
rhythm of respiration were not
aflected or but slightly decreased
and a little more oxygen was tak
en up by the body. If, however, a
small amount of carbon dioxide is
added to the mixture, the volume
of breathing is increased almost
immediately, although the rate doco
not increase greatly.
The experiment can be done by
the averuge mai, In thia way: For
half a minute he forces himself to
breathe more deeply and at least
as rapidly but not much more rap
idly than he usually does. By this
means, the lungs are over-ventilated
and the carbon dioxide con
tent of the blood is temporarily de
creased. Wihen this voluntary ef
fort ia stopped there follows, in
most people, a complete stopping
of the desire to breathe. This
period varies in length according
to the length of the period of over
breathjng that produced it.
just as sweet as possible under the
circumstances.
Apparently the plan as It will
finally work out will give the Ben
ate a bill with bigger and better
agricultural duties than the House
bill. That will tend to appease
the farmers and make the bill look
more like the measure President
Hoover intended It to be. On ton
of that the finance committee will
undoubtedly toss overboard quite
a few of the tariff -seeking inter
ests whose resultant squawks will
be politically unimportant.
The subsequent hiatory of the
hill will depend on how many Dem
ocrats and Progressives turn out
to be willing to trade. There is a
rumor that the Republican com
mittee members plan to knock out
various southern agricultural prod
ucts from the House bill In order
to make some of the Democrats
come to terms.
TODAY IS THHJ
ANNIVERSARY
OF
SLAVERY DEBATES
fS Aug. "Jl, J8T.8, Abraham Un-
coin and his great rival, Steph
en A. louslss, began their series
of seven debates on the question of
slavery.
The seven places, one In each
Illinois congressional district, and
the dates were: Ottawa, Aug. 21;
Kreeport, Aug. lit; Joneaboro,
Sept. Ift; (talesburg. Oct 7; CJuln
cy. Oct. 13, and Alton. Oct. 16.
In the famous Kreeport debate,
Lincoln asked: 'Tan the people
of a United States territory, in any
lswful way, against the wishes of
any citizen of the United States,
exclude slavery from its limits,
prior to the formation of a state
constitution?"
If iVuglas answered No, he
would deny his pet doctrine of pop
ular sovereignty; if he answered
Yes, he would antagonise the dom
inant politicians of the south, led
by Jefferson I -avis, who maintained
that the only power that could deal
with slavery was the municioal
power of a state, and furthermore
he would set the local authority of
the territory above the Supreme
Court which had declared slavery
legal in all the territories ef the
lited States hy tke Drtd Jtvott
decision.
Douglas answered la tks ifflrst

slavery might be 'legal" in a ter
ritory it could not actually exiat

people enacted leaslaUoa ustfriend
