Of wolves, of moose, OF caribou. Here
are herds Of reindeer ranging over the
limitless tundra; islands covered with

and comfortably accessible.
As for the Hawaiian Islands, at the
crossroads Of the Pacific, some 1000
miles from the California coast, they
have evoked the unbridled enthusiasm
Of all who have ever visited them.
THE loveliest feet of islands that lies
anchored in any ocean," Mark Twain
wrote Of them. Here is the Pacific
paradise, with q climate beyond COM
pare. In the native language of the
islands there is no word which means
weather" Here Is o combination Of
mountain and sea, of snow-capped
peaks, of boiling volcano, Of palm and
pine, not to be found elsewhere on the
globe. Hawaii's hospitality has long
been famous. 1t has already gone far
in drawing to itself the lovers Of
beauty and romance from all over the
world. Self-reliant, more than self
sustaining, Hawaii is the seat of the
most interesting experiment in racial
amalgamation to be found anywhere.
1t should be the hope and dream Of
every American to visit Hawaii, to ride
the long surf rollers that break on the
beach at Waikiki, and to listen, in its
native setting. to the soft and sweet
music of the ukuleles which spells
Hawaii to all the world.

Warrington, April 6.-(R-A con-

poena to testify before the house COM
mittee on his accusations that brain
trusters" are plotting red revolution.
Chairman Bulwinkle (Dem., N. c.
Of the Writ investigating committee
indicated he did not believe the Gary,
Ind, professor should be allowed the
10 days he requested In which to pre-
pare his case.
HE isn't . defendant on trial." Bull
Wrinkle told reporters. "All he has to
do Is tell US who gave him that revo-
luton information"
Bulwinkle was obviously dubious
about Dr.. Wirt's ability to name any
one, but said that III he refuses Ia
appear, I shall take 1t up again with
the committee"
Asked whether the committee might
then cite Writ for contempt Of the
house, or whether It would yield "a
Speaker Rainey's expressed wish and
mot dignity" the case by . citation.
Bulwinkle replied:
Personally, I feel that there e 4
little more than the dignity Of Dr..
Writ to consider. There y also the
dignity Of the house"
Republican members Of the commit
tee continued to protest the 3 to Z
vote Thursday by which It was de-
cided that Wirt,s first testimony
should be confined to naming the
brain trust members with whom he
said he talked, and relating the re-
ported conservation In detail.

Haddad now knew that East was
out Of spades, 50 he held the deuce

jack.
West, hoping that his partner held
the deuce, refused to win the trick,

Haddad finessed the queen. He then

Is acknowledged, am informed, she
may agree Of her own free will not to
avail herself Of It.
While Tokio's naval policy has not
been announced, the above represents
the views Of high naval, military, and
civil officials who will help formulate
that policy.
Prefers Death TO "Shame"
Japan today Is In the position Of q
ftrst-class power attempting to MAIN
tain her place in the world on the re-
sources Of q third-class power. I'm
less she can acquire additional re-
sources, she must eventually step
down to the lower rung.
That she will do this voluntarily
Is out Of the question. She will in
vtte humiliation first. She will eth
er get the new DEAL" or Asia will
again be turned crimson.
Japan, in her program of expan-
sion. has reached midstream only. The
water about her Is swift and deep. She
must push on to the other shore, or
turn back.
Manchuria and Jehol are too much
Or too little territory for her needs
too much because 1t will inevitably in
vtte counter attack from Russia and
China. too little because it lacks suf-
fictent Of those vital resources which
. vast empire must have.
Seeks Trade Leadership
Maintaining one OF the worlds big
gest armies, 100000 electives, and
demanding q navy second to none,
Japan also Is making q supreme bid
for world trade leadership. This
colossal program requires vast re-
serves, In peace or war, Of steel, oil,
coal, rubber, cotton, sugar, various
chemicals and metals, none Of which
Is found In sufficient quantity in her
new domain.
Without oil, modern armies and ma
vies are practically helpless. Japan
occupies 18th place In oil production
after the United States, and 18th af-
ter Soviet Russia. The United States
produces s45.O0O.O0O. Russia 100000
600, and Japan 100000 barrels an
nually.
Even counting the oil she gets from
the northern half Of the Island Of
Sakhalien-leased from Russia and
indispensable in time Of war-Japan
produces only q fourth of her peace
time needs.
Manchuria has no known free oil.
There Is plenty Of shale, but its oil
content is low.
Coal. Iron Quest Futile
Japan had hoped to find a supply
Of iron and coking coal In the new
territory, but again seems doomed to
disappointment. The ore Is of poor
quality and she still imports nine tons
for every one she produces.
The story Of rubber, cotton. and
other essential materials Is more dis
couraging still.
Japan's grandiose dream Of en-
pire IS based upon her scheme to be-
come another Great Britain, turning
raw materials into finished products
and shipping them to the four COR
ners Of the earth In japanese bot
toms.
But once more she seems to have
arrived on the scene q little too late,
though for the moment her foreign
trade is booming. Even Britain Is
regarded Is having long since passed
her peak in this line Of business and
today is facing reorientation Of her
national economy.
Builds House on Sand
Japan, therefore. seems to be build
ing, ut least partly, on sand. The
