theory that he's Topped over in their
direction.
At all events. Lewis and Adams
have given him lot of excellent ad-
vertiSing. He's at least twice as presi-
dentially noticeable today as he was
two or three weeks ago. His state of
Montana isn't particularly good geo.

Still. the Butte Solon is pretty popu-

The work has already been COM

Japan's Supplies.
The truth is that Japans supplies
come mainly from the United States
It's been true hitherto, even in the
japanese campaign against China
With all such American supplies cut
off, as they would be by an embargo
Japan would be in "hell's own hole

In short:
Suppose the Japanese were to figh
the United States. In order to fight
they'd have to get their raw fighting
material from the u. S. A., which ma.

And they can't produce their own.

Though not admitting there is

port out today claims the corps

Long point of controversy and
fought by members of Congress and
peace organizations, training of
men in the corps is claimed to be

In skills which would be useful in
an emergency and by teaching them

In prospect enough public work to
justify its existence until the year
1890. Unless Congress renews it,
life of the c. c. c. will expire on
June 80, 1943.
Robert F'echner, who directed the
G. G. c. from its inception in 1888
until his death, December 81. pre-
pared the annual report. He said
that continued c. C. C. was nee
essary because the prospective in
crease in private employment would
not be sufficient to absorb all the
Idle youth of the country.
The report to the President then
says there is no doubt but that
the United States is stronger Ma
ton because of the c. c. c." Fur

was fortunate in putting this youth

lowing it to waste. Such a policy
has not only increased our national
resource assets, it has increased the
earning power of our youth"
