What Is japan Building?

II VERY couple of weeks or So new report OIL
~ mysterously powerful Japanese fighting ships
under construction comes out. The latest story
"secret censorscreened advices to Navy Depart
ment'-is that Japan has under construction three
chit and run cruisers of 10000 to $4,000 tons each
carrying eight nine 12-inch guns per cruiser ana
capable of making 40 knots an hour
Our own heaviest cruisers 1OOOO-tonners, they
carry eigh-nch guns, and they don't make 40 knots.
If this story true may have to revise our naval
building program so as to match Japans big cruisers
sort of postscript or afterthought, tackled on TINS
same story adds that maybe Japan also has three 46OO
TON dreadnaughts under construction These would be
5oo TONS bigger than the dreadnaughts Japan was last
reported building maybe perhaps
What alarms us about these frequent maybe-perhaps
stories is that our Government doesn't seem to be using
WAYS and means of finding out how much truth there IS
in them.
There are such ways and Practically every
other nation uses them. The ways and means consist
in notwithstanding ladies and gentlemen who go around
brbng or seducng people having access to other gov
ernments secrets to beray those secrets Frequently
these spies get doublecrossed sold bales OF phony
goods or caught and sent to jail But out OF the whole
comnlex and delicate business the governments that
hire spies draw occasional military and naval secrets
of great values
That spies of most all other nations operating
in the United States there is little reason to doubt
Uncle Sam ought to go and do likewise, spending
the necessary money Though the japanese are highly
idealstic people in their peculiar way it is safe
bet that the maxim every man has his price is as
true in Japan as anywhere else. We could hardly
invest goodsized wad of money more wisely than in
the purchase of reliable information to just what
types of fighting ships Japan really is building, how
soon they will be completed, and what the japanese
navy command thinks they do in action.

Contempt!

WE have feeling that Franklin D. Roosevelt is
w chuckling in his sleeve AS you may have seen
in the papers, he has pardoned the venerable Dr.
Townsend who collected millions from the poor and
aged the promise to try to get them 5000 month
for life You may also recall that DR.. Townsend had
been convicted of contempt of Congress.
That in case you haven't figured it out is where the
laugh comes in 1t occurs to that in pardoning the
old folks friend, he also patng him the back
We suspect that he has something of fellow feeling
for any man who has the courage to express his
tempt for Congress-
For the sake of the President is to be hoped that
Congress doesn't get the point Or, second thought
perhaps, for the benefit of of it's obtuse
members, the point ought to be explained-let the
chips fall where they may.
The point as see it, has two Sides
One is the Presidents own idea about Congress.
The other is his idea to what the country thinks of
Congress.
Of course may be wrong.

to have been very effective for

DACK in the sixth century,
~ Sebastian, a lieutenant of
Diocletian, was shot full of ar
rows by the Romans for refusing

they could not kill him by this
method. Years later, as Saint
Sebastian, his courage and i'm

spired several themes which be-
came recognized as cures in time
of peStilence. DR.. Sigerist has
unearthed all these airs and
they appeared in the program
of medicinal music.
The Johns Hopkins professor,
who presents these ancient cures
without comment, takes the
stand that certain music is bene-

been known to make heroes out

his own experiences in the for

IN Paris one summer, while DR..
l. Sigerist was searching for
medicinal music, he became very
much annoyed. In fact he lost
his temper. In the midst of his
fury, in some unaccountable
fashion, there came to him a
bar or two of Brahms Fourth
Symphony. The music persisted,
and as it did he forgot the heat,
his temper cooled and he again
became normal. From then on
he has used music as a nerve
soother. In Russia once, perhaps
