humanitarian campaign in China to
stamp out Communism" (this is the
official reason for the aggression
against China might become jeop-
ardized. The military government
which rules Emperor Hirohitos en-
pire says bluntly now that the Jap
anese will supply themselves with
these vital raw materials from the
Netherlands Indies and other coun-
tries which lay in Japan's path.
Supplies Needed Here.
Had this embargo or restriction Of
exports of oil and raw materials
been enforced two years ago, the
campaign against China would have
Topped. The chief reason why these
restrictions have been imposed now
is that this country, in an endeavor
to arm herself against potential enc
mics from the west. as we'll as the
east, needs all the scrap iron and
the oil which is available here.
The embargo has been dictated
merely by Americas own military
necessities. Nobody knows this bet
ter than the Toxic government.
But under the pressure Of Ger
man representatives the japanese
government is attempting to make
a major incident out of this measure
of the United States Government
Toxic is determined to adopt pro-
vocative attitude toward this coun-
try and is not mincing its words.
The japanese realize that the
United States finds itself in q pre-
carious position. The fleet Is in
the Pacific but cannot be spared
far outside the waters around

the South Atlantic compels this
Government to keep Americas first
line of defense as close as possible
to the Atlantic Coast of South

Foundation for Showdown.
This emergency is not likely 10
occur as long as Great Britain can
hold her own. But what will hap
pen when the Germans begin their
real attack against the British Isles
nobody can fOresee.
Japan is now laying the founda-
ton for A real showdown with the
United States. 1t would be childish
to imagine that they want to attack
Hawaii or the West Coast. The
showdown will consist in eliminat-
ing the last vestiges of Americas S
influence in the Far East and occu-
pying the Netherlands Indies.
The East Indies can supply Japan
with raw materials which would
make that country completely inde-
pendent of America and place her
in position of becoming the most
deadly competitor this country ever
has had. America will have to look
on when the Toxic militarists put
into effect the much improved and
expanded Tanaka plan.

eide of the old Democratic party
1t now develops that the Presi-
dent, and others who are supporting
his effort to win a third term in
the White House, are distressed,
concerned and at the same time
defiantly unbelieving when it is re-
ported that conservative Democrats
and some who are not SO con-
servative-are planning, perhaps for
their own self respect and because
of their long belief in the Demo-
cratic party, not to have any ac-
tive part in the coming campaign
for the Roosevelt Wallace ticket,
The President, in his message to
the Young Democrats last year,
virtually announced that if the
candidates nominated at the Demo-
cratic National Convention of this
year did not suit him, he would
walk out on the ticket If he COM
plains now because Democrats who
do not approve a third term for
himself, or like the nomination of
New Dealer Wallace, are not going
to take their coats off and go to
work for him, he at least gave them
their cue.
Engineered Convention.
The President in his message to
the Young Democrats, said he did
not believe the convention would
nominate conservative Democrats
for President and Vice President.
He took very good care to see that
they did not. The whole precon-
vention campaign, which was care
fully engineered with the approval
of the White House, was designed
to prevent the nomination of any
one except the President himself.
as an examination of the steps
taken easily demonstrates. And
when the Democratic convention had
drafted the President for third
term nomination - which turned
out to be no surprise at all-the
President then gave the convention
orders to nominate as his running
mate Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace. The Presidents prophecy to
the Young Democrats has so far
been carried out. Whether his re-
nomination, plus the nomination of
Mr. Wallace as his running mate,
turns out to be IAN unfortunate
suicide for the old Democratic
party" remains to be seen His own
prophecy was, of course, to the con-
trarT.
Secretary Wallace and the Presi-
dent, at their first meeting since
their nominations, talked over the
question of Mr.. Wallace's remaining
at the head of the Department of
Agriculture. which is engaged in
distributing hundreds of millions of
dollars in subsidies of one kind or
another to the American farmers
this summer and fall. with promise
of further subsidies for next year
1t was bit unfortunate that both
the President and Mr.. Wallace fell
into the error of declaring that
former President Hoover remained
as Secretary of Commerce during
his campaign for the presidential
election in 1928. Had either of them
taken the trouble to find out. they
could have learned that Mr.. Hoover
resigned from the cabinet as soon
as he had been notified of his
