u. S. PULLS BACK
OFF WAR BRINK
I'm PANAY CRISIS
NarroWeSt { sea p e
Since 1918
BY ROBERT G. NIXON

GN.SJ With the gravest
crisis since World War days
materially eased by Japan's sweep
ing apology and gurantees of
satisfaction over the Panay bomb
ing, the American Government
today relaxed somewhat its tensed,
determined attitude Of the past
two weeks.
There remained. however, a
ranked feeling and persisting ir-
ritation over the attack, which
was made so ruthlessly and cold
bloodedly in the face of constant
promises by Japan that American
rights and interests in China
would be respected during Japan's
military operations.
RELATIONS STRAINED
Regardless of the complete sat-
isfaction promised by Japan, there
was no doubt that its result will
be continuance of strained rela.
tions between the two countries for
lsometime to come.
This much is certain: The fu-
ture of Americas actions in the
Orient will depend upon Japan's
conduct henceforth. The American
acceptance of the Japanese apol-
ogy made this clear and emphatic.
1t is privately conceded in the
highest official quarters that the
conduct of Japan's military forces
in the aerial destruction of the
Panay and three American oil
tankers brought the United States
close to war, closer than any inter
national incident involving this
country since the German U-boat
raids on American shipping which
brought the United States into the
World War.
FIRM ATTITUDE
The diplomatic settlement of
the Panay incident was handled
by President Roosevelt and Secre-
tary of State Hull in a manner
in which there were no expressed
threats. But the firmness of this
Governments attitude left no
doubt with the Tokyo government
that the United States meant
business.
If Japan completely fulfills its
promises of indemnities and
guarantees that there will be no
further interference with Amer.
ican nations, rights or interests in
China, the incident, according to
official circles, may well be closed
But for the moment it is still
open. And will remain so as
long as the Japanese military
forces operating in China present
a potential threat to American
interests.
DANGER OF WAR
Another such incident as the
Panay bombing, it is conceded,
might well mean war.
Henceforth, the American atti-
ture will be one of firm insistence
upon Japan carrying out its
promises. The Administration well
remembers Japan has made many
promises during the last seven
years only to break them.
1t is certain the United States
will go ahead on a speedy basis to
put its Navy, Army and air force
in top condition to face any emer-
gency that might arise. During
the next year the Navy and Army
budget is expected to be the
largest in peace-time history,
approaching $1,000, 100000.

Yale archaeologists have announced

Euphrates River covering some 1000
years, in finding of a cuneiform tablet

The fragment was found in an un-
baked mud brick which formed part
Of the wall Of the Temple Of Atargatis
built in 3l-35 A. D.
Prof. Ferris j. Stephens, curator
Of the Yale Babylonian collection,
said the tablet pushes back the history
Of Dura by more than 1000 years,
showing that the "Pompeii Of the

Alexander the Great, took the place
Of q much older village Of the same

"Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"When a baby is born and
gifts are given to the child,
should the mother write the
thank-yOu notes and sign her
name, or should she write the
notes and sign the baby'S name?
"Would blue note paper be
correct?
'MOTHER."
It always seems to me a bit too
whimsical" for mother to write
thank-you notes in the baby's
name. It's better, more dignified,
for the mother to write a gracious
note of thanks and sign her own
name.
Yes, blue letter paper, if the
shade is a pleasant one, is proper
for these notes.
A note of thanks Of this kind
might read something like this:
Dear Mary:
"BleSs you, and thank you, my

heartening to learn that syphilis

Calling tAe disease by its true

more syphilis than scarlet fever,
twice as much as tuberculosis and
a hundred times as much as infan-
tile paralysis. are some ways of
arousing the means to bring an
end to the plague.
It Is preventable. A successful
program will take a generation.
1t is possible, therefore, that our
descendants will wonder what the
shouting was all about.
Some day people will think of
syphilis as a plague almost extinct
and practically isolated.
It will take work, but the medi-
cal profession has never Shirked

It will take money, but it must
be realized that it takes money to
fight other diseases. Doctors can
