L, T. SUNOCO, FPIDAY, SEPmTBER 14th, 1934. ll -CELLO. WKATI MO IIHWS?* I suppose it’s an odd thing for a radio news commentator to repeat the old adage that no news is good news. But that’s the way I feel about the strike situation tonight. There’s little news of any importance, meaning mat tre turbulence and fignting nawe quieted down to a whisper. One encouraging t ing is the way the union leaders are denouncing violence. Francis German, head of the stride committee In Lasnlngton, speaks out against the Phode Island outbreak in strong terms. ~e aruId wish that there were seme reel news from the Timer, t Mediation Board; but mere’s blank silence concerning any progress in negotiating a sett -emt of tre textile oispvte. p■t cuietlru of tre iisorders in Prude Is.and eliminate' tre -.refect of serdirg lederal 'Troops into tre ..tate* Ire V. 1. : egulars ror’t rater ir vet direction .bless t.era’s foliot ; strike President Roosevelt is keeping in close touoh with the strike situation, and . closer to It than even tills Jr right on the fringe of toe Rhode Island textile area^ where th< desperate battles neve been going on.

Gannett, of the Gannett chain of newspaper^ in Maine, wires me that the tall story champion* Is somewhere- up In the Maine forests, l«£St»"probably ^catching fish with that xnagnet.cf^ toiiau, Publisher Gannett is still trying to locate him, and promises to have him on hand next .Friday, to tell us his monumental lie. they'll have the big forest all__ .. >ckefeller Center in the landscape terrace on feetbaek s# the R, C, A. Building. All of which itgould. make that Maine guide feel at home in the big city —- the tall story champion wandering around In. the tallest forest In the world —— quite The sponsor of the tall story contest, Guy P, Maybe it's all for the best, because by that time appropriate AMOS AKD A1CDY That Maine guide will have to go some to talk any taller than one particular fisherman who has just returned from Alaska. Of course we know that Amos doesn't play so fast and loose with the truth as Andy, but just the same a fisherman is a fisherman, and when Amos tells about those trout and salmon he caught in Alaska, we'll have to check and double check. Anyway they'll be on the air again on Monday, back in their familiar position following this Sunoco program. MUNITIONS Here's something that happen-- l P I 1 H any kind of censorship on the Senate inquiry into munitions* But just the same it has, the lid clamped down — not a big lid, but a small one, just enough to cover up some embarrassing names. :||| o. -||| It turns out that five governments have protested against that blaring publicify all the facts the 1 Si investigating committee is uncovering. They say that as a result of these protests two members of President Roosevelt's Cabinet have intervened with the committee and persuaded the members n that certain things should be withheld, hept secret. 1 1 It seems to be a matter of names, names of foreign statesmen who got rakeoffs from American armament firms. Anyway, iff |; there is testimony of two Chinese officials who received commissions |: on munitions they purchased for their government. The names of these two Chinese officials are being kept off the record. 111 'If! vr- Head Investigator Nye has not made a cffinitive statement of how much secrecy there will be, how much of what they call censorship -- how big the lid will be and how tighbiy they will clamp it on. CHIH4 Tne munitions investigation in Wasnlngton ha® uncovsrsd odd and startling things about the world trade in. arffienen t oh war, out nothing oe ret of ore has been any more interesting that the following gun and cartridge transaction out in the ran hast. It just goes to show that the Chinese are smart psorie, nsyte smarter than us imerleans. Last yearPresiderit Roosevelt’s drive te help the American .farmer, the P.eeerstructirn Finance Corporation, advanced a loan of ten. Million, dollars to the Chinese Govermsent for the purchase of ..Amerleari mie&t# This was .anrioimced .as one of those ■ double-barreled good thing®. The Amsriean farmer would fee benefited by the .sale of farm, products, and the Chinese people, ah way s menaced by famine, would get the benefit of all those * s hip -1 o ad .s o f gr a in * o:o getting for rifles a.

In fact, .ditu’t get tne . Tne ten mlllios dollars were pale to Toey got tne grein CHIK4 -S American farmers .and the ship-loads of wheat and corn were sent to China. That would seemed to have settled the matter* But wait a minute. Bret Harte was right. 'The Heathen Chinee is peculiar. Upon receiving the grain, the celestial authorities got in touch with Europe and what they said was this:- "How many guns will you give us for ail that' American farm produce?” Tell, nc'jf you car guess the sad story. -Most of that ten million dollars worth of grain was traded for armament and munitions. And Uncle Sail* was lending money to China to buy guns, but he didn’t know it. The Honorable Uncle was fooled. JAPAN' n I .^na there a.re other reports of oriental cut in the Far East. They concern that proposal by Japan to Soviet Russia that^neutral zone be declared along the frontier of Manchukuo !. and Siberia* ; 't ”'Lst us both withdraw our military forces twenty-five miles behind the bo^der^,, the 'Mikado's* Government suggested, "and that will leave a neutral strip fifty-ffilles wide^ tnereby avoiding . possibilities of trouble*"' ■■ 1 In the wcrid of dipldmacy today, statesmen are nodding their heads and saying:- "Yes, that Japan®s® proposal is a shrewd V . Ci "i A scv©* so’hhdS' like a srlendid peaceful gesture on t&e part of A s Tokyo," And Japan gets & favorable react Ion from the rest of tne I; 1 j ■fii world* But on one otter hand Far Eastern experts are pointing; out same al the military aspects of the plan.

We've "been hearing how it’s spreading far and wide, those shirts cf many colors. But there's one country where I thought the shirt movement wouldn't have a chance* Remember Mahatma Gandhi and his loin cloth? And then there's the old poem:- For clothB^he makes his skin do. No, you wouldn't expect a shirt movement to make any progress in India* But just the same here it is, and. Brown Shirts to boot. But there's nothing 2£azi about the East Indian Brown Shirts. They are followers of a religious leader, who at the same time is a bandit. Along the troubled frontier of the northwest province# ^the ‘'Land of toe fierce Pat ha ns chieftan, some kind of mad mullah, is on tie called Fakir Shah of Alin gar. He teacr.es a , a fanatic ilcslem rampage. He is doctrine of fierce religion and brigandage. It's a euxi of kcaanmedan puritanism. Its members are armed with Brit is:, rifles, wnicn they obtain- when Fakir Shah of Alingar leads them on * raid* against nritisn IKDIA - 2 Army stores and cantonments. And they have a distinctive dress. They weai immense turhans, each made of nine yards of cloth wrapped round and round. They have choes of buffalo hide and belts of camels hair. And, they wear brown shirts, which hang long. This is a matter of protective coloration. The brown shirts keep them from being seen amid the brown sun­ baked rock and sand of the hills of the wild Afghan frontier. But then, the common loin cloth getup of the Hindoos is unknown among the Mohammedans. So, a brown shirt, or any other kind of a shirt is not so surprising in that noman*s land of Islamic turbulence H °^ p' s Oo oy T.o" eh ‘ n T >•« v t v ; ' • — r? - f'-ur^ ~ T ti WO "■' ■ '*'■( T i.:.gf ;?e; 1 -■r\ r\ -f . r. y '•• v ^rir? o . r* -"i y j • / * - °r oioe^: ®yec- f3 ».;sh s t °ver' /n o-'f5c.r „„ w„ri.s.

Mew York got off with its silk parade, and other cities are scheduled to follow suit. Shimmering demonstrations of fabrics, with lovely models in lovely silks putting on pageants and fashion parades -- dimpled chins and dimpled knees and crimson taffeta, spark­ ling eyes and aquamarine crepe de chine, swaying figures in green chiffon and gossamer lingerie, veil, that old Eskimo should be there, the Eskimo who in his Far Morthem igloo innocence made a mistake. We are told how that ingwnuous Eskimo saw a dress advertisement in a dress magazine, an advertisement with a picture of a beautiful model wearing a fetching frock. He went to the near­ est fur trading post, showed them the advertisement, threw- a splendid fox-skin on the country and said: "Chimo 1 Please give this pelt to Hudson Bay Company and ask Hudson Bay Company send this woman, I like to make her my wife," He thojght they were advertising to sell the model, not the dress. "hey ought to take that .Eskimo to one of these silk parades. He certainly would make a good customer, plunking down an Arctic fox pelt and saying, "I take that one over there , the one in the red dress with the platinum hair." And I can hear that model scream -- SO LONG UNTIL MONDAY
