When we read about Tran" and
sTrak," it is easy to mix them up.
They are two separate countries,
they touch each other and have the
same name except for the last letter.
Iran is another name for Persia,
1t is now the official name for this
ancient country.
Irak is the modern name OF a
country even more ancient than
Persia. 1t is the famous Land Be
tween Two Rivers 1t is one OF the
places where men first learned the
hrt Of writing.
A traveller in Iran who did not
know its history would hardly guess
that it once was home of a great
civilization. Travellers in the past
century had to dig up most OF the
secordS of the past.
When say dig up," mean just
that. Huge mounds were seen in
desert places. When a traveller dug
into one of these mounds, he found
clay tablets with strange writing.
That led scientists to visit Irak-
or Mesopotamia, as it used to be
called. With picks and shovels, they
dug into the mounds and found that
they contained the ruins of buried
cities. Here and there, walls on
ancient buildings were still standing,
though they had been covered with
sand and soil for thousands of years.

North maintains his Jump to

pass and that South's rebid Of three
hearts was a sign-off. South main
tains that he didn't have much OF

could hardly do more than rebld
the hearts on the second round.
South points out that he could
have passed two no-trump If his

pass therefore showed about as
much strength as he actually held.
"who Is right'"
Both are right to q considerable
extent, but South must take the re-

South's hand was worth seven tricks
and was worth a game bid opposite
a maximum pass. A rebid of only
three hearts would put considerable
strain on North, whereas jump to
four hearts would ease the burden.
North's decision to pass three

Says Choice Of War
Depends Upon Circumstance.

To the Editor of The Star:
The most pathetic things in the news
papers are the letters demanding or
pleading that the President make good
his campaign promises ito keep us out
of war" AS though any President could
do that! 1t is the pressure of events
beyond his control or our borders that
will determine our war entry
Today we face this single simple fact:
If England goes down our way of life
goes with it. Shutting our eyes TO facts
won't help. The only answer now to
brute force is force. To be bold is safer
than to be timid and vacillating. True,
we have lost the years which pacifism
and idealism took from our armaments.
They must be made up. When the time
comes to convoy We must convoy. Other
wise aid to England is hollow mockery.
We cannot let her down.
And more-whether We like it or not,
whether we are ready or not-from now
on it is ourselves and England, to right
the world and then to run it. The to-
talitarians have left us no other choice.

Now the picture has been changed
to one of desolation. Plymouth no
longer is habitable. The government
of Britain has ordered the civilian
population evacuated. Where are
they to go-children, young mothers,
the aged? Under the invaded sky
they will be safe nowhere in England.
Yet their courage is not broken. They
dare to hope for the victory which
at last will constitute a retribution.
America, let it be said most solemnly,
has a duty in the circumstances.
The first British city utterly devas-
tated by the Germans is near to the
United States in peculiar sense. It's
destruction is a challenge to the
civilized world. Let that be under
stood in its full significance, compre-
hended without selfish or craven
limitation.

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles E. Trdce11eH.

Templeton Jones, who is great read
er, read in one of his wife's magazines
about Judy Garlands pet shampoo.
Jones has always liked Judy Garland.
She is favorite of his. He saw her In
THE Wizard of o." and has her record
of "Over the Rainbow"
Like most movie stars, she has pretty
hair.
Templeton Jones isn't a movie star,
exactly, but he is rather proud of his
hair. It is not quite as thick as 1t used
to be, and it is turning gray, but aside
from those little defects it is all right.
X X
Our hero believes that Judy ought to
know what she is doing.
"See here" said Jones. ut says to
take a pound of CASTLE soap, shave it up
fine, cover it with water, over slow
fire-whats a slow fire?-and melt
down. Then put in ounces of oil of
eucalyptus, stir, and bottle"
Since Jones, in a long lifetime, had
tried every soap on the market, the idea
intrigued him.
lilt IltAJ udN, Willie IJdoSlllS a III dS
store, he procured two 4-ounce cakes Of
CASTLE soap, and one ounce of oil of
eucalyptus.
That will be enough" he said.
Once home, he got into a great furry
about pots and pans.
You might have thought he was going
to make ton of liquid shampoo, but you
wouldn't have known Jones.
He is able to make as much fuss over
few ounces as a cooking school over a
whole dinner.
Making a shampoo, he discovered, out
of perfectly good cakes of soap, is not as
easy a job as the bright little paragraph
in the magazine made out of it.
All you have to do, according to the
paragraph, is to put the things together,
and there you are!
Judy" the paragraph insinuated, "has
no trouble about it. Judy, who is a very
bright young lady, turns out a barrelful
of fine shampoo in exactly two minutes,
fat"
Templeton Jones was not a movie star,
but he still hankered after that gleam
and glitter of the stars.
Many men would not admit to as
much, just as many will not admit that
they like perfume. now and then. at least
one of these fresh, mild. dry kinds.
Jones didn't mind admitting anything.
He hustled around with big pan,
which still turned out to be not half
large enough.
He grated down the soap, but left
some larger slivers. These last were to
cause some trouble, but Jones didn't
know.

Toxic Takes Stock

YoSuke MatSuoka. Japan'S ambula-
tory Foreign Minister is back home
from his travels, bearing with him
in his brief case the neutrality pact
which he and Joseph Stain framed
In Moscow This document is nat
urally the leading topic in the Jap
anese press. Considering the curb
which the government maintains on
public discussion, japanese press
comment Is surprisingly varied, with
undertones of skepticism as to the
degree of change which the pact
has wrought in Russo-Japanese re-
lations
An outstanding instance of this
attitude is an editorial in Hochi.
This prominent newspaper lists five
demands which it thinks should be
made upon Russia, and goes on to
say that, if even one of these de-
mands remains unfulhlled "it can
not be said that the cause of our
insecurity in relation to the Soviet
Union has been removed" Here is
Hochi'S must" list:
l. Reinforcement and renewal of
agreements now in force. This logi-
cally means the entire treaty struc-
ture governing Russo-JapaneSe re-
lations Although in the recent pact,
Russia has recognized the status quo,
fS,o1 1,Ili li,ar nf
anese puppet state of Manchukuo,
1t is we'll known that, in previous
negotiations, Russia suggested con-
cessionS such as a retroceSSion of
the Chinese Eastern Railway through
Northern Manchuria to Russian con-
troll. If Russia has really recognized
the existing territorial status of
Japan, why the need for reinforce
ment and renewal of previous
treaties?
2. Conclusion of a trade agree
ment. This presumably includes
fishing rights off the Siberian coast,
a matter of great Importance to
Japan which is still unsettled, and
on which the pact is silent.
8. Prohibition of Russian ma
neuvers in Japan's sphere. This is
surely a strange commentary on the
basic value of a pact which osten-
sibly defines respective spheres of
Japan and Russia and agrees mu-
tually to respect them.
4. Abandonment by the Soviet of
aid to General Chang Kai-shek.
This demand is unquestionably the
most important in the list, from the
Japanese point of view. 1t was a
matter carefully left out of the pact

Unconquered Greeks

German military occupation of "all
strategically vital positions" in
Greece continues according to Sched-
ule, yet it cannot be said in truth
that the Greek people have been
conquered. Only if they were to be
absorbed into the Nazi pattern OF
slavery could they be regarded as
lost from the company of democratic
nations. Their land is overrun, their
cities devastated, their harborS filled
with wreckage, their government
driven into exile, but their spirit, far
from being crushed, is repleniShed
and strengthened by their tragic
experience.
The HelleneS of ancient times
passed through similar ordeals with
out loss of honor. Americans ac-
quainted with Professor J. w.
Mackail's tranSlations from the
Greek Anthology may recall his
rendering of the epitaph written by
Simonides for the Athenian dead at
Plataea, 479 BIC. "If to die nobly is
the chief part of excellence" the
inscription runs, Ito us out of all
men Fortune gave this lot for
Fastening to set a crown of freedom
on HeIlas, we lie possessed of praise
that grows not old" For the Lace
daemonians who fell in the same
battle with the PerSians. the poet
wrote: These men having set a
crown Of imperiShable glory on their
own land were folded in the dark
cloud of death; yet being dead they
have not died, since from on high
their excellence raises them glori-
ouSly out of the house of HadeS."
The repeated phrases are deliberate,
to the end that their meaning may
be emphasized.
An unknown author was sum-
moned to pen a tribute to the fallen
heroes of a battle no better identi-
fed. 20 Time" he begged, carry
to all men the message of our fate,
that striving to save the holy soil
Of Greece we die on the renowned
Boeotian plains" There are many
equally impressive tributes that
might be quoted appropriately at the
moment when the whole world
applauds the valiant resistance of
the modern heirs of classic tradition.
1t might have been for the heroes
of April, 1941, that Mnasalcas, re-
ferring to the martyrs of his own
now distant day, observed Looking
on them, let citizen have courage
TO die for his country"

Soap making, he discovered, even II
you use ingredients already made, is not
all Hollywood glitter.
In the first place, the paragraph said
Just to cover the shavingS with water,
and here it was as thick as Cruel.
TOO thick" he announced.
"Put in some more water" suggested
Mrs Jones, who was on the sidelines
for this experiment.
You mustn't be in hurry" explained
Jones. Give it time"
He stirred and stirred. The brew got
thicker and thicker.
Better put in a cupful Of water" said
Mrs. Jones.
Our soapmaker finally yielded.
In went one cup, then another. 1t
seemed as if the more water you put in,
the thicker the soap got.
THE next time we make this-if there
is next time-we will use one of those
big kettles" said Jones, but he kept
stirring.
AC ldSL IL seemed ABOUT TlgnJ.
Here was Judy's shampoo, hot off the
griddle, all ready for the oil of eu-
calyptus.
"Where Is the oil Of eucalyptus?"
shouted Jones. Wonderful stuff, oil of
tus trees often grow three or four hun
dred feet tall?
Fact! They are planted in marshy
areas, and finally dry up the marshes, so
much water they absorb and use up.
The oil is in the leaves.
Now let me see-here you are-in
you go.
"A-hem, nice smell. Just like that oil
I used when had a cold"
Templeton Jones stirred and stirred
Now the bottles!"
He insisted on filling narrow-necked
bottle, but permitted himself to be guided
by wiser hand in putting away the
remainder. Two glass jars. with wide
mouths, used in canning, took the rest
Jones held aloft his shining bottle II
was a pale lemon yellow, and smelled
very nicely.
A few hours later he decided TO try It.
But the stuff wouldn't pour. 1t came
to the mouth of the bottle, but almost
refused to come out.
He thumped on the bottle.
You mustn't be in a hurry" ex-
planned Mrs. Jones. Give it time told
you to use that wide -mouthed jar"
A few minutes later Templeton Jones
came from the bathroom with a big
towel at work on his hair.
How do I look?" he asked.
"Just like Judy!" beamed Mrs. Jones.

The Task Ahead

1--WE have not yet had any Sacri-
fees, but they are in store for us"
Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones
told the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States yesterday, in dis
cuSSing the heavy burdens which
America must shoulder as a result
of the defense program. The sacri-
fees will be larger than any one now
is able intelligently to comprehend,
because the cost of our unprece-
dented rearmament effort in money
and in curtailed peacetime preroga-
tiveS is going to be larger than most
persons now enviSiOn. In order to
impress upon the assembled repre-
sentativeS of industry the gravity of
the outlook Mr.. Jones forecast
doubling of the national debt to 500
000000,000 as the crisis develops.
This, he indicated. is only rough
idea" of the task which lies ahead
for management, for labor, for men
and women in every walk of life. Ad-
miral Harold R. Stark, chief of naval
operations, and General George C..
Marshall, chief of staff of the Army,
joined with Secretary Jones in pic
turing what an all-out defense I'M
dertaking implies No generation of
Americans, said Admiral Stark, has
faced a prospect so dubious and
threatening" General Marshall
pointed out that we are engaged in
"a war of smokestacks as we'll as Of
men, The two high-ranking Off
GERS voiced pleas that industry step
up production by increasing speed
and improving efficiency.
That America has done wonders in
tranSlating into action the initial
phases of the defense program can
not be disputed. But much of this
action has been in the nature of
SpadeWork for the actual production
to follow. AS Secretary Jones asserted,
the full impact of the program in
terms of eventual work and cost
and, of course, eventual taxes and
other obligations of citizenship-is
yet to be felt by the majority of
Americans. Nor has there been any
considerable amount of sacrifices by
the average citizen, to date. Until
recently there was a disposition in
high quarters to Superimpose the de-
fenSe program on the normal buSi-
ness structure, with a view to Great
ing minimum of disturbance to the
peacetime economic and social rou-
tines. Donald Nelson of the Office
of Production Management stated
the case Succinctly when he de-
clared that it is physically impos-
Sible' now to carry on business as
usual Fortunately, the country at
last is beginning to awaken to some
of the implications of our determina-
ton to arm against the rising threat
Of aggression and to create with our
resources a vast arsenal for the
worlds embattled democracieS. But
much more must be done, and many
real sacrifices must be made, before
our way of life can be regarded as
reasonably secure.
