HOW WE HELP JAPAN TO CONQUER
CHINA
(By BRUCE CATION

III there Is one sAHICLISdh WIN 10 Ni''AN-
TO be heard in connection with the tangled
situation in the Far East. it is former Sec
rotary of State Henry /. StimSOn.
Mr.. StimsOn was some six years ahead
of President Roosevelt i'll the belief that
this country should take peaceful but et-
fective measures to restrain the Japanese
militarists. Unfortunately, the British let
him down with a dull thud when ne tried
to translate his belief into action, and his
effort to preserve peace and the Sanctlty
of treaties in the Orient failed.
But he knows the Chinese-Japanese stu
alton as few Americans know it; and when
he wrote a lengthy letter to the New York
Times the other day, setting forth his ideas
on the course America ought to follow,
he said some things which all Americans
ought to ponder.
No one, says Mr.. StimSOn, can argue
that we should send troops and warships
10 the Orient TO restrain the Japanese IN
vasion by force. The American people
would never consent to such a step; even
if they did, China must work out her
own salvation and her problem cannot be
solved by outside intervention.
But that, he continues, does not mean
that we must fold our hands and paSSiveIy
watch the Japanese complete their pro-
gram of aggression. For as matter OF
fact, Mr.. StimSon says, we are right now
actively helping Japan - giving her the
help without which she could not carry on
the war.
japan. he points out, depends on the out
side world for her ability to attack China
She has ample manufacturing facilities,
but she lacks vital raw materials-oil, rub
Der, iron and cotton. ThSee she must buy
abroad; she can pay for them only by SELL
ing enough of her own products to obtain
the requisitive foreign exchange.
The principal product that she has for
sale is raw silk.
Keeping that in mind says Mr.. StimsOn.
note that America buys upwards of 80 per
cent of Japan'S silk exports, with Britain
buying almost all of the rest. Furthermore,
Japan buys most of her essential raw ma
terials from America and England-75 per
cent of her oil and 90 per cent of her iron
from America, practically all of her rubber
from England, 80 per cent of her cotton
from the two nations combined.
1t is this trade that makes her war pos
sible. AS long as we carry it on we are
helping in the assault on China. And Mr..
Stimson asks:
rs the condition of our craftsmanship
so pitifully inadequate that we cannot de-
wise the simple means of international CO.
operation which would stop our participa-
ton in this slaughter"
We might proftably study our govern
ment's present foreign policy in the light
of Mr.. Stimson's statement. 1t is remind
er that we do not now face a choice be-
tween keeping absolutely clear of the i'm
broglio or getting into it up to our necks.
We are in it already, and we must shape
our course in the light of that fact.

shield himself. Just at that point
the sirens tore loose, the jury
scattered and the solicitor also
rushed to the other side of the
courtroom to look for something
terrible.

terplayers was presented to a ca- pactty house last evening at the Waterbury Womenis club.
 The show was probably not the best one that most of the persons in the audience had ever seen but the expert manner in which it was presented by a group of players most of whom havingn no previous experience in this line of entertain- Inent, thoroughly delighted all.
 LaughabIe Roles Miss Mollie Cullen, Maybelle Hin- ton, Ray Bates, Cy Roossin, Viola Masone, Andy Masone, Arthur Sul- livan, Mabel Burns, Irene Stevens Don Porter, William St. John, Free man Coffey and Arlene Coffey, ir addition to the members of the supporting cast, all performed with out the usual stiffness that goes with an amateurs revue and in such sketches as Spring Cleaning on Tobacco Road, sAct Your Age" and I'm In Love With the Vest, cused the house to rock with laughter.
 "The Things That Love Can Do", Spring Is Up My Sleeve, T Bid One Heart" and "The Girl Next Door" were the best musical offer- ings in good score. The lyrics in most of the numbers were cleverly written.
 Production Crew
 Another remarkable item is the fact that the entire production crew, which ran off the show last evening without any delays, was not imported. It was made up only of members of the local group and too much credit cannot be givenu to these persons behind the scenes"
 Charles Gaynor, author of the show, and Louis Boisvert, played the entire score on two pianos. The settings, which were some of the best done for the local group, were the work of Roaslie Manning Rose, James Furness and Richard Fores- ter.
 Successful Season
 The success of the opening per- formance last evening, one which brings to close the most success full season ever enjoyed by the Wa terbury Civic theater, probably es- tablishes a precedent and also such a taste for producing musical re- vue in the minds of the audience and the players that there will have to be one given each year from now on.
 The show will be given tonight and tomorrow night at the Women's club.

nY THE MAN IN THE TowER

Most any day now when things bit slack, It's time to get going on the little country shack; Clean the place out from stem to stern, Pile up the rubbish then let her burn. Any week end with daylight saving, Will be fine in the country with the tall grasses waving. Let's leave the city apartment on floor way up hgh Get back to nature and gaze at the sky. Enjoy once again the nice country smell, Hear from distance the village church bell. Pick great punches of violets down by the brook, Tramp all about to every cranny and nook Get busy again with the rake and hoe For summer is coming,-how do know? The stores are showing garden literature galore Country cottage curtains rustic things you adore. Aren't you sick of the smell of apartment steam heat? Lunch at the automat becomes dull treat That country place is not much in fact very small But 1t boasts of view and there's waterfall. Summer is comngl let's go back And clean up bit the old country shack.
