JAPAN SPEEDS
PACIFIC FORT
BUILDING

TOKYO, May IA QN.S0.
Dropping the mask of "harbor i'm
provements," which, League Of Ma
tions investigators charged, dis
guised japanese Notifications on
the Pacific Islands, the govern
ment came out in the open today
with plans for building more forts.
Preparing for an era with no
treaty restrictions on the size Of
navies, General Count Juichi Te-
rauchi, the war minister, told Par
lament today that the army would
''restore" the Pacific Notifications.
He is believed to have referred
to forts in the Japanese group
proper, as we'll as the inundated
islands lying within speedy sailing
distance of Guam and the Philip
pines.
Depends on U. s.
AS yet, he added, the govern
ment is not contemplating forti-
flying a defensive line based on
the Formosa area, Immediately
north of the Philippine group.
This may depend on future moves
by the United States.
Count Terauchi's startling an
nouncement came as news was
printed here that Britain intends
to build more destroyers, and has
asked the powers concerned" !"
including Japan, for permission
to exceed treaty limits.
With the Washington Naval
Treaty expiring at the end of
1896, Japan also fears that the
United States will fortify her Pa.
cific possessions, on which fortifi.
cations were forbidden under the
pact
Denies FOrtificatiOns
Japan denied allegations in the
League of Nations mandates com.
mission that she was fortfying the
Ladrone and other islands. Ger
tain harbor improvements, includ-
ing the construction Of concrete
docks and deepening of the havens,
were being made, it was admitted,
however.
League witnesses argued, on the
other hand, that the volume of
traffic using the harbors did not
warrant such improvements, and
the inference was drawn that naval
bases and Notifications were their
real purpose.

Holiday Spirit
Helps Seal Sale

In spite of the activity Of Christ
mas shopping, the Seal Sale is max
ing rapid progress toward its goal.
The holiday spirit, in fact, is help
ing the campaign. AS one man
said, when he bought his seals,
..After all, this is a sort Of health
insurance. They assist in teaching
our. children to prevent the disease,
and the prevention is more than
cure and far less expensive"
There are still some seals unac-
counted for and we feel that per-
11aps they have been mislaid. It is
quite easy to mislay the tiny seals
But they won't fight tuberculosis IN

ano. Find them now. They must
be put into action. Use them on
everything you mail until Christ

ASK SCHOOL TO
START LATER
Action Would Enable Many Farm
Young People to Attend the
State Fair.

A later school opening is in pros
pect for next fall so as to permit
boys and girls enrolled in club work
and other projects to participate in
the Minnesota State Fair September
to IL without losing one week in the
class room. This proposal has been
approved by the State Board of Ed
ucation, and John G. Rockwell, COM
missioner of education, has sent out
recommendation to all school ad-
ministrators urging that the 1936-1937
school year-grade and high schools
be advanced one week, to Septem-
Der IA.
The change in the school term,
effective this fall, was approved by
the State Board of Education as a
result of repeated requests from var
ious farm and school organizations,
many of which had adopted resolu-
tions asking that such action be
taken.
MANY arguments were presented
to the board in favor of the later
opening" said Mr.. Rockwell. Most
important was the fact that $4,000
boys and girls are actively engaged
in All Club work in Minnesota, many
of whom are exhibitors at the State
Fair the first week in September.
Setting ahead the opening date of
school will eliminate not only the
confusion of having these All Club
workers starting school a week late.
but will save them a weeks loss from
class rooms. Further, the first week
of school, or the week beginning La
Dor Day, is now only four days in
length; the weather often is unusually
warm, and the farmers are usually
buster the first week in September
than they are the first week in June.
The Minnesota State School Board
Association for many years has been
unanimously in favor of this change
in the opening date"
Since the recommended change
necessitates advancing the date for
State Board examinations, the Board
has voted that these examinations be
given one week later than hereto
fore. this change to take effect at the
close of the present term.
