Nazi Officials Frown
On Uncle Toms Cabin

BERLIN correspondence Of the Asso-
ciated Press -"Uncle Toms Cabin is
not suitable book for Germans to read.
in the opinion of present-day Nazi edu-
cationists.
In the course of a "book week" held
at Weimar, various Nazi leaders, from
Propaganda Minister Joseph Paul Goeb-
bels down, have been telling the people
for their own good-what books they
should read, and what avoid.
Education Counselor Hans Mein-
shausen, addresing.a Hitler Youth gath
ering, said that Uncle Toms Cabin"
was not a desirable book, because it
runs counter to our racial ideals" He
did not explain in what way.
Approved books are almost exclusively
confined to stories of heroic German epi-
sodes in the World War and about the
rise Of the Naxi party.

members. New York State has IS 900
in all. Pennsylvania, Ohio and Minne-
sofa have 5000 each; California, $4,000.
The organizations purpose, as set forth
in its constitution, is to protect the
rights" Of its unemployed membership.
The immediate means to this end, as
outlined by Mr.. LASER, is to demand:
l. An increase in w. p. A., from its
present $4,000 to 3,50OOOO instead of
the proposed cut to $500 900 by February.
2. An increase in unskilled workers
wages from maximum of $50 to SIS
month and from minimum of $26 to
$36 q month.
Unless this is done, Mr.. LASER says,
the Government will make "the same
terrible mistake" it made in 1937-relief
will be cut and q new recession will
set in.
Curtailment of the w. p. A. would
mean curtailment Of the alliance For

the taxpayers. supply the alliance mem

Arms

issued 129 licenses for munitions to Japan
During the same period 1876 licenses for
war materials valued at SIS, 1888 ,968 18
have been granted for shipment to
China.
Withholding of ban on arms to the
Orient has worked out on Quantitative
basis to the advantage of China, as its
imports have been larger. China's need
for foreign munitions and planes is, of
course, much greater than that of Japan
which has large arsenals and aircraft
plants of its own, whereas the Chinese
production of war materials is very
limited.
From broader viewpoint, while the
inauguration of munitions control by
this country may not have limited its
international trade in arms it has pro-
vided checks to prevent its abuse, Off
cials hold, and has been valuable in pro-
viding barometer showing war prepa-
rations abroad
Between November 80, 1896, and Oc-
tober l, 1887, the latest period for which
figures are available, the Control Board
has issued 9,746 licenses for the export
of war materials worth $12O,6O2. .703.31.
The advantages of munitions control
by license, as set out in a recent state
ment by the board, are:
!. It makes more thorough the en-
forcement of restrictions on shipments
to countries at war or others, such as
Nicaragua and Honduras, where exports
are limited by law.
2. It aids the executive branch of the
Government to observe more closely the
effect of policies which it may adopt re-
garding the export of arms to countries
like Spain, in which civil wars are
raging.
3. It provides a check on arms pro-
grams abroad, in so far as they are
furthered by purchases in the United
States.
Like that of any governmental body,
the machinery of the National Num-
tions Control Board has had to be built
up slowly. Over the last three years the
, board has painstakingly created sys-
tenn of gathering information and
checking it which enables it to spot fake
documents and to forestall attempts to
obtain arms permits for countries at war
through dummy" consignees.

merely exchanging masters. For if her
father has died, the lord of her life be-
comes the eldest brother. She is en-
tirely dependent on him for support.
This economic factor is cruelty impor-
tant. japanese women, and particularly
those of the middle and upper classes,
are not trained to be self-supporting.
They seldom enter the professions or the
arts, and even less often do they find
places in the business world.
Her education fashions her to be
wife and mother, and nothing else
More important is the crushing weight
of social pressure that usually forces
her into this typically feminine career"
whether she likes it or not
Thus, she is helpless as child, de-
pendent on some one else for her actual
bread and butter, if any of the thou
sand-and-one potential disasters of
domesticity should overtake her.
Remarriage Is Unlikely.
Furthermore, the japanese divorce
seldom is able to re-enter the marriage
market. An unexpressed but sharply
evident social onus virtually precludes
it. In essence, the divorced woman
bears the label damaged goods" no
matter what sterling reason she may
have had for procuring her dinvorce.
For these reasons the viscountess who
died with her daughter beneath the
waves of the Japan Sea, had no other
recourse. AS divorce, she was not
member of her former husbands
family, but of her own. The elder
brother was its master. His prerogative
extended even to the point of authority
over his niece and her proposed mar
riage to the man she loved
Toxic newspapers reported that the
viscountess even offered to withdraw
her name from her own family register
which would have given her the juris-
diction over her daughters proposed
marriage. All she asked was that her
brother grant her portion of the family
inheritance from the deceased father.
For the viscountess to have defied him
probably would have meant the loss
of her only economic prop. So suicide
was the last answer.
Three japanese women recently passed
barr examinations and were credentialed
as lawyers. They are the first in history
to achieve this status. They promised
to fight for the reform of Japanese mar
riage and divorce laws.
It is staggering task.

BOMB HANGKOW

SHANGHAI, Feb. 8 d.N.sJ.
Striking at two widely separated
points, Japanese airplanes re-
sumed their bombing warfare
against China today.
The Nipponese navy spokesman
in Shanghai stated japanese war
planes raided Hankow. temporary
capital of the Cnlang Kai-Shek
government, and also dropped
bombs on Ichang. No details OF
these attacks have been received.
BOATS MACHINED-GUNNED
At the same time, according to
advices from Hongkong, another
Japanese air squadron machine
gunned fleet of gasoline junk
boats chartered by an American
oil company-the Texaco concern
killing one junkman.
This assault was reported to
have occurred near Pakki, not far
from Honeymoon.
Chimes newspapers at the south
ern port of Annoy, which has been
subjected to several aerial and
naval attacks in the past week,
said the japanese fleet had deliV'
cred an ultimatum that Annoy
would be destroyed unless it sur
renders Immediately.
FORTS UNDER FIRE
Annoy, according to advices here,
is believed to possess no effective
defenSes against airplane attacks.
Hongkong reported that Japa-
nese planes were dropping bombs
near the Boccatigris forts, not far
from Canton, and that the forts
also we're under naval fire.
In the north, Chinese claimed
smashing victories after a series
of counterattacks on several vital
fronts.

Papers Renew Fight
Against QUESTIONABLE

TOKYO, Feb. 8 Q.N.S0-The
japanese press today renewed its
irritated campaign against Anglo
American-French cooperation re.
garding the question Of naval bat
tleships.
While the Japanese government
showed no signs of relenting in its
refusal to reply to requests from
London, Paris and Washington
for information regarding the size
of Japanese battleships, the pa
pers urged the government to per-
SiSt in this refusal.
The newspapers also demanded
that the government adopt counter
measures against the expansion
ist naval plans" of France, Brit
ain and the United States.
Gen. Gen Sugiyama, the war
minister, told the Diet that Soviet
air strength in the Far East is
now estimated at $500 planes,
most of which are assigned to
Russia's ma ritime provinces,
which are within striking distance

HOLDING FIGHT
TO HIGH COURT

G.N.S.) Counsel for the giant
Electric Bond and Share Company
and the Government locked horns
today in argument before the Su-
preme Court on the question Of
constitutionality Of the utility
holding company act Of 1885.
Thomas D. Thacher, New York
lawyer and former Solicitor Gen
eral, resumed the utility company's
attack on validity Of the law, with
Assistant Attorney General Robert
H. Jackson, special assistant, pre-
pared to reply.
The case, which involves holding
companies with assets of IL billion
dollars, was brought to the high
court on appeal of the Bond and
Share Company, after Fedora
courts in New York upheld the
law. Thacher began argument
late yesterday.
Thacher sought to broaden the
case beyond the decisions OF the
New York Federal courts, which
limited their decisions to validity
of provisions of the law requiring
registration with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. HI
insisted that the death sentence
and other provisions OF the &C
should be considered along with
the registration provisions.

One Of the worst things you can
do is ''kid around with cold.
The So-called common cold"
causes more serious sickness and
more enforced absence from work

It's a mistake to treat a cold

treatment and not a "cure-all."
A cold calls for internal treatment,
