to war in the near future. The con-

The war will last i've years, perhaps
ten. The Panama canal will be de-
stroyed, and in the end this nation will
carry the war to Japan and conquer
that kingdom. These are few OF the
predictions made by Representative
Hobson. who used to be an officer in
the navy.

obtain greater uniformity in the aver
age hours of work in day by the rail-
