War Cost in Japan
(Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Japan's troubles are growing on the home fEont,
 direct result of suffered by her armies Tn China A showdown between the army and Premier Konoye is imminent Under the circumstances thls can result only in greater power for the military.
 While officials tell the people that rumors of Chin csc military success are only propaganda no news paper in Japan has published account of them Nevertheless the people growing suspicious. They are tired of reading for four months that ChineSe attacks have been repulsed and that "moppng up operations progress in which were reported thoroughly conquered months ago
 Regular army units sent from the homeland and from Manchoukuo to take part in what was to be a 3o-day police action" make it plain that the string of victories which the Japanese public has been fed has knot in it.
 So widespread has unrest become that Admiral Suetsugu home minister has found it necessary to tour the provinces to make speeches Suetsgu Is one of the chief advocates of the formation of state party which would impose a military dictatorship on Japan It is on this issue that showdown is due
 War Minister Sugiyama has just returned from an air tour of the occupied areas in China where he conferred with the generals the men who In recent years have molded Japans costly China policy. They favor the immediate imposition of the national mobilization bill Premier Konoye when the bill was passed pledged his polital reputation that would not be imposed during the Chinese conflict. It de- signed for future wars, he said Now he is face to face with the issue of enforcing it at once at the behest of the generals It is little wonder that he has been ill for three weeks.
 It becomes increasingly apparent that the Japa- nese people tired of the Chinese campaign. They can be held in line only by the strongest measures. Not only the invaded country, but the homeland of the invaders suffers in modern war. It means the loss of elementary liberties and lowering of the stan dard of living This is price Japan did not contem- plate when she lightly undertook to chastise the Chinese flor their own good" last July.

considerable of it has been going on just the same, according to a.thortes The results of the law, therefore are twofold-the operations which have opportunity for development some beaches which Ire known to have gold bearing sand in paying quantities.
 What the new law which has now passed the Senate and been sent to the White House actually oes is allow for mining operations between the point ,een carried on are now validated and it will give f ordinary high tide and the low tide line and places jurisdiction with the Secretary of Interior. To accom- ,lsh this it amends the Nome beach act of June 6, 900 in these words:
 "All land and slloal water between low and mean ligh tide the shores bays and inlets of Alaska, within the jurisdiction of the United States shall be 5ubject to exploration and mining for gold and other 3recious metals by citizens of the United States or persons who have legally declared their intentions to become such under such reasonable rules and regu- iations as the miners in organized mining districts nay have heretofore made or may hereafter make governing the temporary possession thereof for ex- ,loraton and mining purposes until otherwise pro- yided by law:
 Provided further that the rules and regulation established by the miners shall be conflict with he mining laws of the United States and exclusive permit shall be granted by the Secretary of Interior authorizing any person or persons, corporation or company mine under any of said waters below low tide and if such exclusive permit has been granted it is hereby revoked and declared null and void but citizens of the United States persons who have legally declared their intention to become such shall have the right to dredge and mine for gold other precious metals in said waters, below low tide subject such general rules and regulations as Secretary of Interior may prescribe for the preser- vation order such rules and regulations shall not however deprive miners the beach of the right hereby given to dump tailings into pump from the opposite their claims, except where such dumping would actually obstruct navigation"

PRIVATE INDUSTRY, GOVERNMENT CO OPERATING IN HOUSING PROGRAM

Industry and the government are working han in hand in pushing the new housing program an the results so far attained throughout the natio indicate that the cooperative effort is to be trutl' of results With the campaign under the broade Federal Housing Administration setup getting undt way here today. it is interesting to view the accon plishmens so far over the nation Frederic R. Bark lev. writing from Washington for the New Tor Times, finds the government, aided by cities an private industry lis tacklng the problem on tf largest scale in it's history"
 Summing up, MT Barkley says:
 Private industry operating without gov ernment aid in many instances, is playing It's part through the development of new ma terials and the improved use of older ones. Prefabricated houses have been developed by several concerns, copper houses and steel frame houses are other innovations looking to cheaper and more substantial home invest ment and the American Lumber Manufac- turerS Association has made some advances to improve frame construction and bring down it's cost
 Perhaps the two most hopeful aspects of the situation are the striking increase in FILA insured mortgages under the liberalization of the Federal Housing Act achieved last winter and what advocates believe is the even more promising stimulus to private construc- ton to be expected from government-financed building by the United States Housing Au- thority.
 Under the housing act amendments-chief- ly the one increasing from 80 to 90 percent the amount of mortgage loan that the agency will nsure-the volume of home mortgages accepted for insurance has been breaking this organizations three-year records for several weeks and will show an April total of around 63000000
 Helpful this aid is, it still plays part in the construction of only about a fourth of the housing units now being built an- nualy.
 AS for the USHA, this agency, established last November represents a approach to the low-cost rental housing problem originally attacked in the fifty-one PWA projects. In the future, low-cost rental projects, instead of being built and operated from Washington, will all be the responsibility of local housing authorities financed up to 90 percent of cost by sef-nqudating USHA loans.

 On board the Northwestern was shipment of fifty bushels of pota- toes from Matanuska which was being sent to Idaho Falls where a test was to be made in the potato flour mill there Should the pota- toes prove satisfactory, it was plan ned to build a mill at Matanuska, as the shipment of the flour was less expensive than the raw pota- toes.

 At least 200 fishermen had quit work around Wrangell since the new prices were announced by the Food Administrator; they said that unless they received higher price for their salmon they must leave the Territory.

North Carolina Has Vast
Supply Of Ore Of Lithium

Raleigh, N. C.-Millions of tons
of spodumene, ore of featherlight,
silvery lithium, lightest metal
known, have been located in North
Carolina, near Kings mountain, of
Revolutionary war fame, since the
first discovery Of the crystalline
white mineral by Frank Hess, Unit
ed States bureau Of mines geolo-
gist, in 1886.
Hundreds Of thousands of tons
stick up above the ground, where
they can be cheaply quarried, and
more lies near the surface, reports
Herman J. Bryson, North Carolina
state geologist. These deposits are
the largest known in the world.
Lithium is used as a hardener in
lead and aluminium alloys and in
various medicines. Its compounds
are used in pottery and glass man.

Hidden Benefits

Few housewives realize the I'M
derlying advantage of the use of
good light-oil furniture polish!
Most polish is used only for the
luster it bestows on the chairs,
tables, piano, woodwork in the
home. Rubbing the polish on
cleans the furniture-works up a
glow-and the outward effect is
fresh and sparkling! But that is
only part of the housewives re-
ward. For out of this domestic
routine comes definite benefit to
the furniture! A reputable polish,
with light oil base, does what
is known as feeding" the finish.
The massage" causes the oil to
penetrate, seep into the pores of
the wood-just enough to lubricate
and keep it healthy! Here, it is
important to note that cheap pol
ishes are made with a heavy oil
base-and are "greasy" and I'M
pleasant to use. The best polish
made with fine light-oil base
is never greasy. Applied on
damp cloth according to direc-
tions), it is neat to use and proves
boon to the furniture! Lack of
polishing-or the use of a poor
polish-will cause the finest wood
to dry out, crack, splitter wood
is a product of Nature and needs
a certain amount of oily moist
ness. So polish the furniture regu-
larly! Use a quality oil polish-it
pays! For not only does the furni-
ture look better-it is better! Its
life is preserved!
