it would naturally follow that
Great Britain, with the aid of
American naval strength in the
Atlantic, could concentrate her
powerful navy in the Mediter-
ranean and stop almost COM
pletely the shipment of war ma
terials to the Axis forces in
Africa. It is a practical prob
lem. Japan has persisted in
injecting herself into the pic
tare. Her elimination would be

America
Is
Ready

too much on misinformation.
They fail to properly estimate
the workings Of democratic insti-
tutions. They are gullible to
the extent that they believe
what they would like to believe.
They seek always to postpone
decisions. They are MAX
ing mistakes, however. One
angle they have failed to grasp
in its full import. That is that
Uncle Sam is now using that
same time to much greater adj
vantage. We are strengthening
our forces in the far away spots.
We are preparing to help China
in more material way. We
are better prepared with our
naval strength every day and
the better prepared we become
the less Japan's chances of
achieving any further appease-
ment.
1t is easy enough for US to say
what should be done. But when
we attack Japan's navy we are
taking on one of the strongest
naval forces in the world. Japan's
strength, however, lies more in
her position as defender of far
eastern waters than in any
aggressive campaign. Her weak
ness lies in the fact that her
little island is vulnerable from
the air and her entire popula-
ton endangered from devastat-
ing fires which could easily be
spread by American bombers.
American planes could be based
in China, Russia, or the Phil
lipine Islands.
NJ There seems no
rJ:tI"- doubt about Japan's
TL-o,..L complete subservi-
Ta.as ance to Germany.
Her reluctance to
start an aggressive campaign
and her purpose in extending
her domain depend almost en-
tirely on Germany's successes.
By her continual nuisance value
she compels both the United
States and Great Britain to
maintain strong naval forces in
the Pacific and thereby reduces
the Atlantic and Mediterranean
strength Of the two great pow
ers.

Many long years ago when /

Trouble
With
Japan

we refuse to appease further
and further. There are many
people who are of the fixed
opinion that the first mess to
be cleaned up in the fight to
save democracy is the elimina-
ton of Japan as a constant
threat in the Pacific. Her atti-
tude has been one of consistent
insults and defiance with
apologies. We have needed the
biblical admonition to turn the
other cheek so often that our
cheeks are tender and sore. We
should stand for no more in
suits and little more defiance.
The manner in which Secre-
tary of State Hull has handled
the recent japanese develop
ments is inspiring and encour-
aging. Instead of taking under
consideration proposals advanced
by the Oriental statesmen our
State Department has reversed
the routine and given Japan
some matters and proposals to
take under consideration. And
how the shoe pinches and how
the yellow men yell!

The Spring luncheon of the goth
Century Club, with Mesdames }. b.
Shamburger, Eugene Cole, Pugh
Winborn, Harry O'Cain, Zouella Ba-
con and Madge Lipsey as hostesses,
was one of the loveliest affairs ever
enjoyed by the club members. The

the mezzannine floor by Mesdames
Shamburger and cole, then escorted
to a private powder room by Mrs.

table was picture long to be remem-
bered, draped in snowy linen and
having for it's center piece, a crystal
bowl holding pink rose buds and
green annis lace, streamers OF PINK
buds cascaded from the center bowl
to meet smaller bowls filled with the
same flowers at either end OF the
table. Place cards were hand paint
ed with pink rose buds, the cluh
flower, and at each place was
corsage of pink buds tied with silver
ribbon.
The six course luncheon was fault
lessly sreved. While demi-tasse was
served, the president, Mrs. Cole, gave
an interesting resume of the thing;
accomplished during the club year
Then small verses at each place
were read, which described some
member present, adding much to the
merriment of the occasion.
The guest were reluctant to enc
so lovely day, but, after expressing
gratitude to their hostesses departed
for home.
