on THE WAY

The United States is on the road
TO war-but war with Japan rather
than with Germany-Senator Bur
ton K. Wheeler, Montana Liberal
declares in warning to the
American people to reject war
making propaganda.
Wheeler hints that he might In
-jact The war issue into the coming
presidential campaign by ASSERT
ing that il the Democratic party S
defeated in November. 1t will be
"Because OF the fact that the peo-
pie are convinced that the Demo-
cratic party has become the war
party. -.
I'VE are heading toward war"
he says. Every move made since
last September has Deen In that
direction
III any person had proposed
publicly to the Democratic con-
vention in Chicago a resolution
favoring peacetime Consumption, t
would have been Overwhelmingly
rejected. As a matter Of fact,
resolution was offered secretly,
which was construed as favoring
conscription without using that
term 1t was rejected overwhelm-
ingly in the resolutions subcom-
-mittee and in the full committee.
Its proponents never dared take
IL to the floor OF the convention.
IF any one had offered that con-
vention a resolution, favoring sale
of so destroyers TO the British. he
would have been ridiculed out OF
the convention. Yet we now have
sold so destroyers to the British.
Another evidence OF the gains
being made by interventionists Is
the fact that a short time ago they
talked OF all aid TO the Allies
short of war while now many OF
them are openly espousing war.
Most of these propagandists want
us to intervene in the war in
Europe but a great many people,
who are in the know, feel they're
in greater danger OF our getting
into war in the Orient than into
the war In Europe.
zone argument used by those who
want TO 90 TO war with Japan Is
that we must fight them some day
so we might as well do II now
while the japanese are mixed up
in China. That argument is as
fallacious as saying that because
lightning may strike our house
some day, we might as well burn
IL down now.
II can see no reason why we
should become involved in a war in
Europe. Asia or South America.
il the Democrats are defeated this
fall. IL is because OF the fact that
the people are convinced that the
Democratic party has become the
war party"
While much OF the Senator'S
statement Is personal opinion. he
is unquestionably right in the one
statement that he can see no rea-
son for becoming involved in a war
in Europe, Asia or South America.
There is no good reason.
II we become involved in war II
will be because OF bad judgment,
bad diplomacy, too much indiscreet
talking or some similar political
blunder. II the Democratic party
has really turned into a war party
in its thirst for more power, per-
hsps dictatorship. there will be a
good many good Democrats who
will vote for Mr.. Willkie. The

bamboo hut in the back yard. The
Japanese bath has a medicinal
rather than cleansing purpose; the
temperature of the water is very

Firms also enjoy a medicinal

log bath huts which accommodate
ten to twenty people.
These huts are arranged so that

Jumps in a snow bank or has a

For the Japanese, cold bath is

In Russia a bathtub costs 1000

In a Moscow hotel, | am told, if
you ask for bath on Monday, you
may get it on Wednesday.
Booking Baths
A few years ago I Travelled in
England by motor from London
through the northern Cathedral
towns. These were cities Of from
ten-thousand to one-hundred- thou
sand population. l managed to get
one bath during my trip. In York,
. at the best hotel in town, I was told
in the morning that eight people
had booked a bath" ahead Of me
in the public bath room. This was
in cities the size Of Wichita, Kan
sas, or Lima, Ohio, or Bend, Ore
gon. Imagine a hotel in such
American cities with no room with
private bath!
| am not so sure however, but
that we Americans have arranged
things so comfortably for our
selves that we overdo the bathing
idea. There is no law of Nature
that requires a daily bath, espe-
cially in the winter. / believe our
skins would be healthier if we
bathed once or twice q week in cold
weather. This is especially true of
hand washing, which can be done
in such excess as to induce chap
ping.
Water either hotter or colder
than the body brings on physiolog-
ical changes just as definitely as
do certain drugs. These affect es-
pecially the blood vessels, raising
and lowering blood pressure, CIV
ing the heart an extra workout.
This again is not always desirable
for those past middle age.
