Mrs. Blanche Dunlap. daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. +. S. Justus, and
wife of ]. C. Dunlap, fell asleep
in the arms Of Jesus on Decem-

She will be missed in the circle
of her many friends. Although
we miss her we are not weeping
as those that have no hope, we
can only say our loss is heavens
gain. She was a devoted$Chris-

and ALWAYS enjoyed the service of
God. Although she is gone the
influence of her sweet, humble
life will live on. All was done
for her that loving hands could
do, and prayer was made in her
behalf, but God knew best.
We still extend our deepest
sympathy to her parents, husband
and loved ones.

Ever since Franklin Roosevelt was inaugurated
President last March this nation has been making con-
sstent march toward economic recovery The progress
which has been made cannot be attributed to any one

Those moves as each has been made brought hope

The time has now come for the Government to
advance further toward the desired goal
THE NEXT STEP SHOULD BE THE IMNE-

By taking this action now the Government would

In Missouri political circles,
however, the report is current
that Mr.. Mitchell owes his ap-

that he opposed the candidacy
for President of former Senator
James A. Reed of that State.
Although the Missouri delega-

was instructed for Reed, these
instructions were fought by Mr..
Mitchell. He is said to have
brought with him to Washing

searchlight of a congressional
investigation is turned upon the
series of so-called "reorganiza-

agency and as vital auxiliary

When Daniel c. Roper took
the oath on March 4 last as Sec
retary of Commerce, he became
responsible Under the law for
the development and regulation
of civil aeronautics in the public
interest and for "the common

His so-called "reorganiza-

ed over the last six months and
have shattered the morale and
scattered far and wide the ablest
of the veteran experts through
out the aeronautics branch, did
not begin until after Secretary
Roper got Congress "off his

transform it.
Political spoils
Actually much of this interim
was spent by the new Secretary
in receiving recommendations
from Democratic Senators and
Representatives in Congress,
members of the Democratic ma

State chairmen and other politl-
clans with candidates for vari-
Gus positions in the aeronautics
branch, which it was hoped Sec
retary Roper would regard as
spoils for the victors.
"Hope deferred maketh the
heart SICK" but Secretary Roper
took plenty OF time to study his
political blueprints of the aero

evaluate the relative political
strength of the various candi-
dates. Under an Executive Or

of polished steel lying against
the tender skin of a new born
baby has a. significance so
ominous that the consequences
can scarcely be measured. For
Japan today is a n t1on
charged with dynamite, ca
pable of an explosion, at almost
any hour, which might shake
the earth.
Japan is nation with her
back to the wall, desperate to
the point of risking national
suicide if denied what she firm
ly believes is due to her crush
ing necessities. It is not merely
the imperial baby she thinks
about-the royal child in white
silk with the shining sword ov
it's side, her next emperor if he
lives-but of the two million
babies that are born every year
with no work for them to do.
no ground for them to till, no
place for them to go.
The Japanese have been re-
buked and excoriated for their
violent penetration of the ASH
attic mainland: for attacking
Shanghai: for seizing Man
churia; for breaking through
the Great Wall of China. The
League of Nations sought to
chastise them. even mildly, and
Japan walked out of the League
of Nations-as significant an
incident as has taken place IN
many years, if one believes that
Japan is in no mood for being
hectored. and is determined TO
resist any interference with her
program of territorial expan-
sion.
Criticism and attack have
been leveled against the Japa-
nese government, and especially
against the militarists, but one
may fairly ask if all of it has
been reasonable and just. Put
ting the fact as simply as it
can be put, Japan is a small
country which is full up, stand
ing room only. 1t has the high
est birth rate in the world and
the lowest death rate. The
number of babies born last year
was just under 100000. The
net increase in population was
about a million. That has been
going on for years and must
go on for years.

air is clamorous with songs Of
thanksgiving and with prayers

and the pride and happiness
of a people to whom their EN-"

the event could be dismissed
briefly enough. But glance
once more at the babe in the
