Hitler: Stand by Japan

L 4 to the German nation, offered
to stand by both Italy and Japan in
a defensive fight against bolshe-
vism" He charged that the 1.-TWO
major wars" now going on (the
Sino-Japanese and the Spanish civil
wars) were the result of attempts
to spread communism"
The Reichsfuehrer' speech was
read to the Nazi party congress in
Nuremberg while he sat on the plat
form. 1t could not have been better
timed in view Of the current friction
between Italy and Soviet Russia
over submarine piracy in the Medi-
terranean.
Germany and Italy's community
of interests" have emerged in re-
cent months, he said, more and

Europe against chaotic imbecility. :"
His manifesto continued: "Our

Japan serves the same fundamental
mission-to stand together in de-
fense of world civilization.

Women Fight Cancer.

Because millions of dollars are be-
ing spent and hundreds of research
physicians are working night and
day to try to discover the cause of
cancer, many may have the idea
that until that cause is found nothing
can be done to save the lives of
those afflicted with cancer. Yet
every day men and women are at
tending clinics where by the use o
the X-ray, radium, and tn eknife
many are saved.
What should prove a powerful
force in spreading the idea that can
Ger is durable is what will be known
as 1.-THE Women's Field Army"
sponsored by the American Society
for the Control of Cancer. Without
guns, without uniforms, without poi
son gas, a war is being launched.
1t is war Of education against one
of the greatest menaces of life: can
Ger. The first drive against cancer
is indeed a war to save human life.
The soldiers are the women of
America and the enemy is cancer.
The leaders of the organization
feel that an educational drive, car
ried on over a period of years, can
save perhaps 40 per cent of the
100000 who die each year. This
Women's Field Army will work
through the medical societies of the
states or provinces.

Up to this time, the happiness

man advisers finally won them over
to the theory that these positions
had been held at a cost far out of
proportion to their importance.
Japan has depended largely upon
the naval guns for most of her ar
tillery shelling and, attacking far
ther back from the river, will lose
that advantage. The presence Of
japanese warships was an impor-
tant factor in the heavy Chinese
casualty list, which totaled 10000
killed and 30 900 wounded. The in
vaders lost 10000 men killed and
an unestimated number wounded.
The first strategic stage of the
Chinese fighting in Shanghai-aS
planned by the German officers
was to slow down and harass the
landing of Japanese reinforcements;
the second, to divide the japanese
lines, and the third, to deprive the
Japanese of the use of their naval
guns.
Realizing what is going on, the
Japanese command has ordered
rapid advance no matter what the
cost, in an effort to change an or
derly retreat into a complete rout.
AS a result, the Japanese for the
time being are the heavy losers in
men, rather than the Chinese. The
latter have been covering their ma
neuver well, leaving land mines in
their wake which have blown whole
Japanese units to bits. and continu-
ing to throw a curtain of artillery
fire in front of the invaders. The
city of Shanghai is a mass of fires
and ruin such as no one has ever
seen there before.

PRESIDENT WAS LAUNDRYMAN

VXIORK is a habit, and to those
w who acquire it it becomes fun,
relaxation coming through the kind
of work done. In analyzing the lives
of successful men and women, we
usually find that they got the work
habit early in life and never lost it.
Herbert Hoover was a worker. He
was born in 1874, in West Branch,
Iowa, the son of blacksmith. His
father died when he was six years
old, his mother when he was nine;
and he went to live with an uncle
who operated a Quaker academy in
Oregon. Herbert earned his board
by doing odd chores. feeding and
currying the horses, milking cows,
and tending the furnace. All of
this was in addition to his regular
school work and, as if this were not
enough work for young boy, he
studied English literature and his
tory outside of school hours. Later

Headache for the League

Japanese invasion, to be presented
to the League of Nations. The ap-
peal, which urged peace-loving

covenant, which would invite Japan
to sit in on the council of reply. II

Yanks in Far East Kick
| MERICANS in Shangha

a MERICANS in Shanghai, con-

cabled Washington, demanding the
protection of United States ships.
The American Chamber Of Com
merce in the war-torn city asked
Secretary of State Hull for immedi-
ate Qualification of the State de-
partment's stand Some of them
were bitter toward President Roose-
welt, who, from his yacht, had told
newspaper men that Americans in
the war zone would remain there at
their own risk No deadline for
evacuation had yet been set, and
when rumors spread that the United
States flagship Augusta was making
ready to leave Yangtze waters, pan
ic spread among the Yanks in
Shanghai.
Many business men, with lifetime
savings invested there vigorously
urged the President to adopt "a
foreign policy with strong front
and keep the American flag wav-
ing" One veteran Yank resident
circulated a petition demanding that
the President ''get off his yacht,
get on his feet and get some CUTS
above them"
American missionaries and busi-
ness men protested that the United
States position in the Far East was
largely the result of their life's
work, and insisted on a more stead
fast attitude to keep the American
stake in China. The State depart
ment replied that there was broad
distinction between getting out of
the line of fire and relinquishing
privileges established over the
years. Vice consuls in many Chi
nese ports were ordered to leave
their posts.
