Shed A Tear for Seattle;
Name of City Not on Map

spreads wide and deep across the
page Is an article "Northwestward
Ho!--F. ID. R.: A New American
Frontier" The heading goes on
to signal Prospects for Develop
ment of a Great. Rich Empire In
Columbia River Basin"
Tacoma has been left off 30
many maps that were domi-
mated by Seattle that II just
seems 20 an innocent by
ISLANDER that there must be
such n thing n poetic justice
after all.
Neither Tacoma nor Seattle Is
mentioned in the text of the
article; 1t just pertains TO the
whole area. The writer, who Is
not identified by a "by-line" goes
on to point out President Roose-
velt's adherence TO one idea of his
earlier New Deal thinking and
that Is to transplant a large part
OF the surplus congested populs-
ton Of New York city, for ex-
ample. into the Pacific North
west.
He goes on to point out tho
presidents intention 70 make
n real Garden of Eden for
100000 people In the Pacific

ment Is spending large
amounts Of money 20 COM

Coulee dams"
Perhaps Tacomans may not bs
pleased with the fact that the
map of this area accompanying
the article merely shows a clustel
of rail connections where Tacoms
should be and omits any city name
of any kind. None the less
numerous Tacoma readers are
chuckling with glee at what must
be Seattle's red face.

Hotter than the fire Of 'ss or SO
or whenever it was, all because
an artistic map-maker for the
United States News, issue Of Feb
2, produced a map placing Tacoma
where Seattle should be. and forgot

The unlucky break for Seattle

cordial ever since the conclusion of
the anti-comintern agreement" he
said. Our nation is profoundly
grateful to the governments and
peoples of those countries for the
sympathy and support they have
extended to Japan since the begin
ming of the China affair"
PAPERS UNFRIENDLY
War Minister Hata said Jap
anese troops had occupied in China
an area "a times as extensive as
that of all Japan. He ridiculed
Chinese fighting ability, as COM
pared to that of the Japanese, but
said a strong Chinese government
will to resist, coupled with deli
cate international situation, caused
various difficulties" as regards
Japan's "objectives in the sacred
war"
Newspaper reception of the key
note speeches was not too friendly.
Editorials emphasized the primary
Importance Of domestic economic
issues confronting parliament,
whereas formerly they had empha-
sized the China war. They cited
coal and power shortages and
rising prices.
Newspapers generally told the
cabinet it had little reason for
optimism, since many political
groups opposed it.

Army chieftains asked the Jap
snesc parliament today. at the out
set of its new session, for $685.

gram.
The navy asked. at the same
time. the modest sum of s6.533. 900
t27 500, 900 yenl for a five-year
program OF resrming warships now
In service.
The army's request was in two
eategories:
I-s263. 200, 900 (1.22o00o,00o
yen) for three-year arma-
ment replenishment plan.
o-sl20. 700. 900 (5l4.oo0. 900 yen)
4 for a five-year armament i'm
provement plan.
Requests for the appropriation
came Immediately after the pro-
nouncement at the new session of
the keynote policy speeches by
ministers of the new government
of Admiral Mitsumasa Yonai.
WARNS WORLD
Foreign Minister Hachiro Arita,
3n his speech, pledged the nation
TO inflexible pursuit of its aims in
China and warned that real world
peace based on justice could not
be attained as long as some nations
adhered to exclusionist policies and
an unjust status as regards race.
religion, territory, resources, trade,
immigration and other matters.
AS regards the United States,
Arita expressed regret it had been
impossible to negotiate a new jap
snese-American trade treaty. He
said japan would do its best to
respect foreign interests in China.
ARITA EXPLAINS
Gen. Shunroku Hata, war min
lister, in his speech, asserted China
had lost 100000 troops.
Arita's remarks Of exclusion
came at the end of his speech. He
had expressed displeasure at the
allied blockade. He said Japan had
decided at the outset to remain
neutral, but that it was realized
the European war must profound
ly affect China and the stabiliza-
ton of East Asia, so that the gov
eminent, while watching the de-
velopment Of the war with grave
concern, is, however, determined to
take appropriate steps to meet any
change in the situation"
SEES INJUSTNESS
He continued:
international peace fails to be
maintained for various reasons.
But, after all, is this not largely
due to the fact that some nations
insist upon trying to maintain an
irrational and unjust status quo
relative to race, religion, territory,
resources, trade, immigration and
other matters, by adopting exclu-
sionist policies or by abusing their
superior positions?
Real world peace, based on
justice, cannot, therefore, be ex-
pected to prevail unless and until
these causes are thoroughly ex-
amined and the root of the evil is
eliminated, after which all coun-
tries would be enabled to find each
its proper place in the family of
nations"
FAVOR TWO NATIONS
Additional significance might be
attached to Arita's words because
of the emphasis he put on Japan's
friendship for Germany and Italy,
two other nations which are de-
manding larger share OF the
worlds goods.

Rome, Aug. 26.-(AP)-Virginio
Gayda, often Italy's editorial mouth

against letting their country be used
as a springboard for British attacks

The fascist editor, charging the

Egypt, bound by a mutual defense

Italians have crossed the Egyptian
frontier from Libya and raided
Alexandria, Egyptian base for Bri-
tain's Mediterranean fleet. there have
been indications that Egypt would
declare war only in the event OF an
Italian attack aimed directly at herr
The British have been speaking of
threatened Italian attacks against
Egypt, Gayda said, in an attempt to
drag that country into war.
Instead, he contended, "onc must
speak of threatened attacks by An
glicized Egypt against Italy, which
has the right and duty to take all
defense measures which the rules Of
war may impose"
