All Engagements mac Deen maze TO
move China's one aviation airplane
factory inland from Hangchow, where
1t could be too easily bombed.
The japanese, too, knew the date
likely before the Chinese discovered it.
Upon going over their cotton import
statistics I find that from March to
June this year they imported twice
as much monthly as usual. and by
July they had accumulated close to
100000 bales in warehouses. In
August they practically quit buying
receiving only eight instead of 27O0O
bales per week from New Orleans and
Houston. The same trend was fol-
lowed in their purchase from India.
whence comes the other half of their
supply. Normally their mills carry
two months supplies. The accumu-
lation was for three months without
imports
Their imports of pig and scrap iron
bear similar testimony: Japan had
planned on three months campaign.
That should have been adequate to
finish the seizure of North China and
It's amalgamation with Manchukuo
under the puppet Emperor Pu vi.
Even yet, japanese officers who do
not realize what they have got into
speak of the war being over by New
Year day.
The Chinese, on the other hand
have planned for two years of resist
ance. And they seem to have been
much wiser about the general world
set-up.
Ihey have enough planes and am
munition for six months of war at the
present rate of expenditure. They
have enough credit in New York for
six months more supplies if any sea-
port remains open TO them. What
Russia sends them in addition is all
TO the good. If Japan effectively
closes Hong Kong and Haiphong-the
latter in French AMMAN at the end of
a railway into Chinese Yunnan-
enough trouble will ensue between
Japan and the British and French to
offset China's munitions famine. And
Soviet Russia cannot afford to let
Japan win.
Meanwhile, Japan's ruthless strafing
OF peasants and unfortified cities is

ton for that, England will pay IL
cents a pound for American cotton
and the long-upset world is again
settled
Granting, Of course, that Stain
holds Russia together under his thumb
and that Germany does not decide
that before she dares to let Japan
lose she must strike herself!
Such are events upon whose thresh-
old We may stand Under these cir
cumstances the United States State
Department prefers not to discuss the
manner in which England let us down
in 1882. Bygones are bygones. The
department is set up to maintain cer-
tain interests-if they jibe with British
interests We are glad for the cooper
alton and keep mum about the past
We do not carp at Britain's getting the
lions share Of benefits.
The only alternative course would
be to change the political and eco
nomic course of this Nation, on the
line which Smedley Butler advocates.
repeat: Our State Department is es-
tablished to maintain certain way OF
national life and certain interests,
not to change them. Only an American
revolution could do the latter. Under
the present set-up it is not dif1cult
to prognosticate Americas position in
the greatest world crisis since 1916.
We wish to discourage the "war-mak-
ing nations. We would like to bring
the world, our Nation, and the Demo-
cratic South back to normally" Per-
haps we cannot face the results Of let
ting history take its course.
Tomorrow we shall examine what
the results might be If Japan wins.

 PROBING FIRE
Short Circuit Is Believed Cause of $4O,OOO Blaze
 in Bergin Building

State police and a representative of the insurance underwriters agency were present with Fire Mar shal Dennis Lahey at the investi- gation yesterday of the fire in the Bergin building last Thursday and Friday which caused damages of $40,000.

 At the conclusion of his investi- gation which started last Friday, Marshal Lahey stated that the blaze could be traced to 8 short cff- cult caused by wires in the cellar of the building. According to the mar shal the fire spread from the start ing point to the Wilko Knitting Mills Co.,. and then to the Lorraine dress shop on the first floor. Heav- lest damage was caused to the lat ter concern.
 Smoke was the most difficult fac- tor which flremen had to cope with and this menace placed two men in the hospital. Capt. Martin J. Campion and Private George Phe- Ian have since returned to duty.

Salvage Squad Suggested For

Missing Dresses Incident Keeps Police Officials
 in Disturbed Mood

They're burning the elec- tric lights late these nights at police headquarters seek ing a solution to the prize mystery story of the year |. <. how and where a bundle of dresses disappeared from a store in the Bergin building on South Main street early last Friday morning.
 The dresses have been returned, but Superintendent William J. Roach Is seeking an explanation of the de- layed report which reached head quarters 50 late as to cause some un- easiness. The dresses, 50 1t. is re- ported, were salvaged from the build ing, but vanished 50 quickly as to mystify owners, fire officials, and everyone else.
 Superintendent Roach, Commis- sioner Harry Minor and few gold braided officers have been putting a number of cops on the well worn carpet and sort of dressing lem down" as 1t were.
 Owners of the store deny making apy complaints. Fire officials also deny making any insinuations. Everybody denies everything, but that the dresses disappeared and that the whole police department became all "het up" over the inci- dent. And were some of the cops burned up last evening to read the story in the Democrat.
 Long after midnight this morning Superintendent Roach held open house at police headquarters. He wasn't going to pull any cloak of charity over this dress incident and he's demanding explanations. A few of the finest were paraded be- fore their chief and their state- ments recorded.
 There may be no further action, but 1t is sure bet that new orders will be posted shortly. Maybe a spe- cial squad will be appointed for future fires, 50 that cops and fire men will have some understanding where merchandise is to be stored officially until after the excitement subsidies.
