 Influenza, of the most widespread and de- structve diseases of still remains unconquered although number of other epidemic diseases have fallen before the determined techncians of modern science. Numerous factors are responsible for this lack of progress in the prevention and control in fuenza For example, the exact cause has not been determined for all types of the disease The short period of development without recognizable symptoms permits the affected individual to continue his normal routine thereby spreading the disease to many others before he is sick enough to go to bed. Isolation of such large groups is not practical. Finally since immunity following infection is of short duration, year less. significant proportion of the population is continuously susceptible to the disease.
 The cause Of influenza is at present believed to be fiterable vruses of various strains of which has been isolated When we say the cause 'is at present believed to be" we admitting that very little for certain is known about the of in- Nnen-a This unfortunately is the fact. Viruses are octive agents too small to be seen with any uiao.oone. Various other types of bacteria may cause complications n the disease.

Such pains usually last about week Flu leaves the patient exhausted out of all proportion to the length of time he is ill The most serious complication following influenza is pneumonia, which may be severe and is sometimes fatal Other serious complications infections of the ears sinuses, and bronchitis.

 Heart and Home: Under thi, sway an inclination on the part of young members of the family to spend money will be curbed by parents. The fact that new order has dawned and that pleasure must be Subordinated to practical aims may be understood increasingly b, average persons who should con- serve their resources in prepara tion for a period of severe tests In the home thrift should be wise ly practiced Girls should become proficient in the household arts
 Business Affairs: The month vii be fortunate for wage-earners ano especially for those expert in the trades. Merchants and manufactur ers will profit, but adjustments in distribution may cause temporary difficulties, or even losses. Manu- lecturers will gain through improve ments in machinery and novel methods of cutting costs, as wages for skilled men and women rise Severe storms will retard freight deliveries.
 National Issues: Labor is to be on guard concerning possible bars against full participation in the inevitable profits in government contracts totaling millions of dol lars. Peril lies in lukewarm support of the government Whatever can be construed as lack of patriotism among workers will be helpful to the enemies of democracy. Chang es among union leaders are fore cast through the year.
 International Affairs: Opposition to the British war policies may de- velop through the winter and one or two serious defections may be expected within the heroic En- pire.

TOXIC, July 25.-Japan is still
willing to discuss the Far Eastern
situation with the United States
but only along lines compatible
with Japan's obligations under the

who termed developments in Indo-
China a threat to United States
security.
HOPE FOR ADJUSTMENT

whether theTe was still room fol
talk between the United State:
and the japanese government.
With the suaveness for which
japanese diplomats are famous ht
replied:
"The Japanese government
has never given up hope for an
adjustment of relations between
Japan and the United States
provided such talk and contact
with the United States does not
run counter to JepaR,s iaterna--
ational commitments with other
powers"

u. 5. May Freeze
Jap Assets Here
teontinued from Page onet


President admitted that the United
States deliberately had undertaken
to stave off war in the Pacific dur
ing the past two years by shipping
thousands of tons of oil and gas TO
the NiPPeHese= val -maehiHe.-=
His remarks to the LaGuardia
group consistently were in the past
tense, and followed hard on Secre-
tary WelleS' -castigation not only
of Japan. but of the French Vichy
government for permitting a mill
tary move ment that would
threaten future critical supplies of
rubber and tin TO the United
States.
So many things haven't hap
lpened yet, said Mr. Roosevelt, that
he could not answer what he
termed hypothetical questions
In addition TO. the freezing OF
assets and the placing of an en-
barge on oil other sanctions the
government is reported ready TO
make are the banning OF Japan 5
silk shipments to this country and
seizure of japanese ships.
ASSURED OF AID
The United States today has
assurances that Great Britain and
Australia will lend complete sup
port TO any American economic
sanctions directed against Japan
These assurances were reported
10 have peen conveyed to the
state department by Australian
Minister Richard Casey and Brit
,ish Minister Neville Butler during
a conference with Acting Score
tary of State Sumner WelleS last
night
Casey and Butler called at the
department after Welles, on
behalf of the American govern
ment. denounced Japan'S move on
French Indo-China as menace
t. the Philippines, the Dutch East
Indies and other Pacific areas.
Russian collaboration wit h
Anglo Far Eastern pol
Iicies also appears certain. Soviet
Ambassador Constantine Ouman-
sky conferred with Welles for an
hour shortly before the arrival OF
the British and Australian minis
tiers. The American promise OF
war aid TO Russia is believed "a
