u. S. Is Older as Nation
Than Germany and Italy

AS united, centralized nations, Ger
many and Italy are both younger than
the United States.
ut was not until IS years after the
American Declaration of independence
that the modern kingdom of Italy was
formed by the union of various small
Italian states" says the National Geo.
graphic Society.
Victor Emmanuel II. formerly King
of Sardinia, was declared its first SOW
ereign. Still later by another decade
was the modern German Empire
cemented together under Prussian lead
ership in 1871. First Emperor was Will
liam of Prussia.
'On the other hand, in terms of racial
and political history, Italians and Ger
mans both look back on past many
centuries old when the Pilgrims landed
in New England. Rome once ruled an
empire from England to. the Persian
Gulf, including the Mediterranean and
the countries that trimmed it. The Teu-
tons had their innings in the Holy
Roman Empire of the Middle Ages,
When their domain stretched from the
Baltic and North Seas to the Mediter-
ranean, and halfway down the Italian
boot"

1000 Refugees in Kaifeng

KAIFENG, China GA year after
japanese occupation, 1000 Chinese refu-
gees in this Honan Province capital still
receive their daily bread from American
and other foreign missionaries.
The missionaries say their charges are
mostly Kaifeng natives who have no
means of supporting themselves. There
were 10000 others to be cared for when
the japanese took the city, but they
have found work or gone away.
Kaifeng remains frontier city. A
few miles to the southwest at the Vel
low Rivers new course are the front
lines. Japanese thus far have shown no
disposition to cross the stream and con-
tinue to the west. Chinese troops fire.
quently cross to the east and raid Kai-
fengs environs.
When the native raiding forces are ac-
tive the Japanese here close the city
gates, sit tight until reinforcements
come.
The city's population virtually has re-
turned to normal. The employed for the
most part are laborers engaged by the
Japanese In building new dyke on the
Yellow River and on a new railway con-
Meeting Kaifeng with the Peiping-
Hangkow line northeast Of here.
Approximately one-haf of Kaifeng's

America Us Strongest Seaward Fort
Puerto Rico to Be Key in Panama Canal Defense

SAN JUAN, P. Riff Til alarm
should sound for the United States de-
fense forces, flying fortresses based at
San Juan will wing out over the ocean
to delay the advancing attack.
In large city when a TIL alarm is
sounded, apparatus moves in from the
outlying stations to back up the men
who are in the thick of things. In the
case of threatened attack on the Pan
anna Canal, the reserves will converge on
Puerto Rico from base to be established
at Tampa or Mobile.
Nine hours after the alarm is sounded
the Puerto Rican flying fields under
process Of planning by Brig. Gen. Ed
mund L. Daley and his newly organized
staff of the Department of Puerto Rico
will receive the reserves. Gen. Daley, an
engineer officer, started working on plans
for Uncle Sans advance post in the
/ Atlantic this month with instructions to
build for permanency and to avoid the
problems that have bothered defense ex-
perts in Hawaii, Panama and other out
posts of the United States.
Uncle Sam intends to move into Puerto
Rico with long range plan fully worked
out. The establishment is not to be de-
veloped little at time to grow like
one Of those farm houses onto which
new addition is attached with every in
crease in the family.
The important factor is to have the
island mapped for an adequate aerial
defense unit with facilities to take care
of the reserves. A few years ago strate-
gists knew that they could get to Puerto
Rico before the enemy.
Today there is less danger of an at
tempt to land infantry but great dan
ger that some one might get some planes
to the island-or nearby island-and be
within striking distance of the Panama
Canal.
Gen. Daley points out that Uncle Sam
must not only be prepared to get to
Puerto Rico first, but he must have long
range planes ready for action to meet
and harass an attacking force hundreds
Of miles out at sea. The defenders Of

Tall and handsome-hes feet 2
Mr.. McNutt is a striking figure. He's an
immaculate dresser and youthful in ap-
pearance despite his prematurely white
hair. He has piercing gray eyes.
He likes to make speeches, fly, play golf
and poker. He was known as the "fly-
Ing Governor" because he Travelled, when
ever possible, by airplane.
A Dynamic Orator.
AS an orator he's silver tongued and
dynamic. Once he broke tooth because
ne was 700 vigorous in speech It hap
pened as he was denouncing former Sem
ator Arthur r. Robinson, Indiana Repub-
hcan, in keynote address at Demo-
cratlc State convention. He finished the
speech. Now he wears artificial teeth.
Here's an excerpt from a McNutt
Armistice Day speech:
ON this soil We shall prove that to save
themselves from the disorders of this
age men need not surrender their BIRTH
right for a mess of Fascist. Communist
or Nazi pottage, that it is possible to
preserve way of life congenial to our
people under the form of government
which had its beginning in 1776."
An indefatigable worker and able to
go long periods with little sleep, Mr.. Nc
Mutt attributes his vitality to an ability
to relax. In his campaign for Governor
he made speeches almost every night.
Yet he never would go to bed and remain
until morning. His only explanation
was that he wanted to get home.
close friend finally explained it. Mr..
McNutt wanted to get home because his
daughter Louise - the McNutts' onlv
child-was i'll and would be disappointed
If he were not home to talk to her when
she awakened in the morning. Louise,
now II, suffered from spinal disease for
years. She has recovered fully.
Poker Face-Or Cold?
Enemies have described Mr.. McNutt
as cold and International Friends say
he merely hides behind poker face any
feeling which might be interpreted as
"softness."
Mr.. McNutt likes to dance. At golf
he is duffer. He enjoys letting down"
at mems party.
His political leadership dates from
student days at Indiana University,
where he headed campus organizations
and served as president of the Indiana
Student Union. Graduated from In
diana in 1913 and from Harvard Law
School in 1916, he became a law pro-
fessor at Indiana University. In the
World War he advanced to the rank of
colonel of field artillery, but did not 60
overseas. While stationed at San An
tonic, Tex, he married Kathleen Timo-
lat, Texan.
After the war he returned to his
teaching position, later becoming dean
of the Indiana Law School. In 1928 he
was elected national commander of the
American Legion. Four years later he
won the governorship of Indiana by a
large majority.

sonal charm and ability as an executive
In his four years as Governor, 1888
1896, Mr.. McNutt gained absolute COM
mand of the Democratic party in In
diana, the first man to WELD such power
since the late Tom Taggart
Largely through the sheer force of his
own personality, he was able to reorgan-
ize the States government completely, re-
ducing the number Of departments from
1859 to eight and centralizing administra-
tive control in the Governor. Thus he
won powers not enjoyed by his predeces-
sors. His word became final in the
Democratic party within the State-and
it's still pretty much that way.
Political foes began to call him die
tator," man on horseback" Fascist"
They said everything he did was for his
personal advancement.
Friends replied that he was making
the States welfare paramount, that his
laws benefited the greatest number of
people.
One OF these laws was far-reaching
gross income tax, designed to lower prop
erty taxes. This law, which levies a /
per cent tax on total income, in excess
of $1,000, of individuals, is still a big
issue in Indiana politics, although it has
survived all court tests.
The gross income tax enabled Mr.. Nc
Mutt to pull the State out of debt and
leave an $1,000, 900 surplus in the treas
ury, an achievement rated by his sup
porters as his greatest while Governor.
However, part of the treasury surplus was
earmarked for starting of the States So
cial security program.
