JAPAN MUST FIGHT BRITAIN.
BY Lieut.. Comdr. Tota Ishimaru.
l. J. N. New York: The Telegraph
Press.
A. UNMISTAKABLE flavor of jim
goism permeates this volume,
which purports to be statement OF
Japan's case in the Pacific and her
grievances against England in rela-
tion to that case. The tone is some
what surprising, for the published ut
terances of Japanese statesmen have
usually been temperate. Comdr. 1sh-
imaru declares that his book is not
the work of militarist. "No!" he as
Serts," it sounds a warning note CALL
ing upon the Japanese and English
peoples alike to give the matter their
earnest and careful consideration"
But it certainly is not calculated to
Soothe English feelings nor to breed
amicable attitudes toward England
in any Japanese readers. 1t is an ag-
gressive attack upon England's Pa
cif1c policy, wherein the charge OF
bad faith is made more than once.
The authors case is simply that
England must relinquish her sphere
of influence in the Pacific or fight.
Supporting this idea he has assem-
bled a very respectable amount of in
formation-as to relative naval
strengths, past treaties and diplo-
matte contests, possible future alli-
anceS and so on. Indeed, he seems
almost to have his war planned. In
spite Of his opening assertion that
he is not militarist, his book con-
trives to be a depressing one. Its
title could easily be changed to read
Japan is Going to Fight Britain" !"
However, the somewhat sensational
style of the work will prevent one
from taking it with too much serious
ness.

telling how the enforced inactivity
irked them until they began to en-
gage in all manner of pettinesses and
jealousies. One is willing to take his
word for 1t, but his insistence on the
unpleasantness gives his book dis
agreeable flavor at times. He makes
it worse by naming his colleagues with
complete frankness. They are some
of the most eminent correspondents in
the world.
In other aspects his book is in
tensely interesting. He came to feel
that he knew the Emperor fairly we'll
and conceived the highest opinion of
his character. OF him he says, mo

tells, too, how, at the bombing of
DesSeye, Halle Selassie himself op-
Grated machine gun, crouching in
an open field without cover of any
sort. And he makes it plain that on
that occasion Italian bombs were de-
liberately dropped on the hospital.
He is at some pains to prove this. In
Naples, on his way to the war, he
saw Italian troops embarking, clubbed
on to the boat by their officers. And

didate at the Republican convention
which nominated Taft. When he was
offered the vice presidential nomina-
ton Uncle Joe refused to take second
place.
AS Speaker Cannon grew older he
became more genial and kindly and
found permanent place in the coun-
try's affections. His unlit stogie was
known from coast to coast. Stories
of his wit, shreWdneSS and lovable
peculiarities multiplied.
In 1915 when he was 70, Uncle Joe
returned to Congress. Some of the
old fire-eater's zeSt for battle had de-
parted, and honored and loved by his
colleagues of both parties. Uncle Joe
served in the House until 1922. Then
he announced that he was tired at
last and was retiring TO take a trip
along the same National pike he had
travelled as pioneer 80 years before.
But shining motors had replaced
covered wagons on the picturesque
highway and gasoline stations stood
on the sites of the old inns. The
flavor of the days of "Tippecanoe and
Tyler, Too" could not be matched by
those of Harding. Uncle Joe turned
back at Indianapolis. He returned
to the Danville mansion he had built
for his wife more than half a century
before.
Three years later the Associated
Press sent out a dispatch reporting
that Uncle Joe had failed to cast his
Republican ballot for the first time
since he was of age. There could be
only one meaning to that. Shortly
afterward Uncle Joe slept peacefully
away on November II, 1926.

shoulders or draped on his tall person
like a matador's cloak. His black,
broad-brimmed hat was tilted de-
family, and almost met his inevitable
stogie.
Joseph Cannon's earliest recollee-
ton was of riding West in covered
wagon. His devout Quaker parents
abandoned his birthplace in New Gar
den, N. c., because they disapproved
of slavery. Their famous son was
only when they travelled beyond the
National pike to seek new home in
the Northwest wilderness. They
halted in the timber belt along the
Wabash, cleared the land, and built
log houses.
IN THIS pioneer settlement Joseph
passed his childhood and early
youth. As soon as he could handle
ak and pillow, he joined the rest OF
the family, working all day in the
woods and fields. Uncle Joe claimed
later that his famous aptitude for
profanity dated from these hard years.
Log -rollings, house-raisings, spelling
bees and even school were recreationS.
During long Winter evenings young
Joseph lay on his stomach, reading
the Bible and Shakespeare by freight.
His mother was suspected Of 'aris-
tocratic" tendencies, because she made
rag carpets for the spare room" His
father was busy constantly as the only
doctor in the countryside.
DR.. Cannon was drowned on his
way to a patients house during q
food, when Joseph was only IA. Re
sponSibility for the family fell on the
boys inexperienced shoulders. He
found a job in country store at
$3.50 a year. The four years expert
ence here, Representative Cannon de-
scribed later as the most valuable in
his life. He learned bookkeeping. the
value of dollar. and shrewd under
standing of human nature.
The young clerk was content with
the prospect of some day becoming a
partner in the country store. Then
one Spring he was called as charac-
ter witness in a Slander trial. Joseph
was so impressed by the work of the
attorney who saved the plaintiff S
reputation that he resolved then and
there to become lawyer himself. He
got permission from his hero to read
law in his Office in Terre Haute. After
a year there he entered law school in
Cincinnati and persuading the dean
to accept his note as tuition, since he
had only enough for living expenses.
Six months later young Lawyer
Cannon" proudly bore his diploma
home. He rented room in Shelby
vile, H., hung up his credentials and
waited for clients who did not come.
His landlady found him one day
grinding his graduation certificate un-
der his heel and encouraged him to go
to Tuscola. ILL.,, the county seat, to seek
his fortune.
CLIENTS were more plentiful in
~ Tuscola and within a year Joseph
was able to make home there for his
mother and brother.
Meanwhile the struggling attorney
had become interested in Mary Reed,
"a Yankee from Connecticut" who
had come to teach in prairie school.

In view of the publicity which he has
already received, the book may rea-
sonably be expected to become best
seller. Even though holding a quail
fed opinion of its merits. the re-
viewer hopes so. For its ridicule of
war alone it ought to be widely read.

ROCKETS THROUGH SPACE. P. E.
Cleator. New York: Simon &

to learn that trip to the moon

SAYS Mr.. Cleator's book. But read on,
and you will discover the joker. 1t
is possible, all right, but still it is not
absolutely practical. No? Something
is always taking the joy out of life.
Still, if you had 100000 and
willing spirit you might make an
interplanetary leap and enjoy the
distinction of being the first fellow
to disembark on the moon-oh, any
day now. You would run some risks
you might hit a meteor, you might
catch fire from friction, or-and this
interested the reviewer most-you
might get a "gravitational attraction"
from some other planet and go sailing
off, willy-nilly, in its direction. Then
the delightful question occurs-when
you landed, how would you know
where you were? How ignorant to
be sitting on Mars and imagining
yourself on mere provincial moon!
But for the citizens who have such
desires, here are the facts-the latest
cruise literature, as it were. And it
is all perfectly dependable scientific
information. Mr.. Cleator is director
of research of the Scientific Research
Syndicate of Great Britain, fellow
of the Royal Society of Arts and as
sociate member of the Institute of
Engineering Technology. Further
more, he founded the British Inter-
planetary Society and he is president
of it. One feels reasonably sure that,

Germany Seeks More
Farms.

THE vital necessity of intensive
farming in Germany is shown
clearly in reports received here, re-
vealing that only 110 acres Of land
are available for food production for
each 100 Of population.
To demonstrate better how serious
is Germany's food problem, COM
parison shows that France has 2l0
acres per hundred of population and
the United States, 297.
In order to meet the situation Of
agricultural -suficiency, Germany
has embarked on an extensive pro-
gram of land reclamation, 100000
acres being covered by the existing
projects.
A careful system of crop rotation
and fertility-building paintings has
been worked out to meet the future

containing this message:
"Hurray for Italy. Hurray for Duce.
Hurray for the King. We carry the tri-
color, the sign of the Lictors Of
Fascism, the sign of the civilization
of Rome. We salute you. Negus,
Halle Selassie. Did your umbrella do
you any good today? How did you
like our biscuits?"
Yet, while he paints the Emperor
in sympathetic colors as an enight-
ened ruler, he has little respect for
the Ethiopians generally. He watched
the thousands of troops stream out Of
Adds Ababa and came to the con-
clusion that they were not fighters
such as are other African tribes.
Compared to the Zulu, for example,
he said the Ethiopians are only actors,
possessing no real ferocity" or "lat-
ent savagery."
Most interesting are the accounts of
the ways in which photographs of. "ac-
supposed Ethiopian field dressing sta
ton was shot at the correspondents
headquarters, with their cook play
ing the part of the wounded and shoe
polish doubling for blood on the
bandages. A native knocked down in
a private brawl in Adds Ababa was
seized as a providential find because
he had a spectacular looking cash on
his head. He was "shot" from num-
ber of angles, as a wounded trooper.
And so on.
1t Is an absorbing book, if not a
pleasant one. There seems to be no
reason for doubling its veracity.
PATRIOTISM PREPAID. BY Lewis

Lippincott Co.
WHATEVER the prospects may be

in these notoriously hard times, Mr..
Lewis j. CORN, jr., will. one feels,
be able to take care of himself. He
is indubitably a bright youth; not to
say a downright smart aleck. To
say the latter, of course, would be
unkind.
And one does not wish to be un-
kind to Mr.. Gorin, for he has con-
tributed highly satisfactory bit of
humor to our not too humorous ma
tional scene. He is, as who does not
know, the clever lad who organized
the Veterans of Future Wars at
Princeton and asked for his bonus in

hoax that pleased every one. 1t de-
livered a nice poke in the ribs to a
Congress disposed to give the Wash
ington Monument to any needy voter
who might request it, and it contrived
to make the whole war business abb
surd-a thing which many, many
learned men writing in honest paciflst
fervor have failed to do. No. one
would not like to be unkind to the
young man who gave us all good
laugh. And yet-in writing his book
he does seem to be just a little quick
on the up-take. Just a trifle ready
to take his bows. Why not? he would
say, naturally. Why? Well, it rather
spoils the joke. We can let it go at
that.
