stand on the part Of Japan.
Those who are familiar with
Far Eastern affairs still believe
Japan will not strike at the Dutch

Germany is going TO win the Euro

If the British should lose control
of the Suez Canal, Japan might
decide TO strike. But pending
more decisive developments in the
battle of the Mediterranean and
of the British Isles, it is thought
Japan will hold her hand.
INDIES FIRST OBJECTIVE
If Japan should decide definitely
to enter the war, however, in
formed quarters believe the first
major objective of the japanese
fleet would be to gain control OF
the Netherlands East Indies.
Reluctance TO force Japan into

WASHINGTON HOPEFUL

The concessions offered Japan
by the Dutch would not seriously
affect American and British needs,
but complete fulfillment of the
japanese demands would do so, il
was said.
Hope prevails in Washington
that Japan will agree to modify
its demands to a point which will
permit the Netherlands govern
Iment to meet them without seri-
'ously affecting American anc
British needs.
This hope prevails in spite of the
assertion of Kenkichi Yoshizawa,
head of the Japanese trade mission
in Batavia. that the present de-
mands are final and Japan ex-
poets nothing less than acceptance
as a reDlv."

CONSIDERATION DOUBTED

Administration leaders in Con-
gress limited that Mr.. Roosevelt
had approved the bill without con-
sidering its far-reaching implica-
tions. The President told news
paper men that he approved the
bill in general but had not read
the language.
He said its primary purpose was
to get deliveries of supplies for
Britain and also for defense of the
United States.
Discussing the Allis- Chalmers
strike. which held up navy con-
tracts, the President said that he
assumed the war department
wanted authority to take over
plant when defense production was
halted.
Senator Byrd CD Of Virginia
who, with Senator Tydings I'D OF
Maryland took the Senate floor
yesterday to demand that Presi-
dent Roosevelt assume leadership
in hating defense strikes, declared
the draft bill is not the answer 10
the problem.

House to become captain and
adjutant in the 9th Infantry

After the World War he returned
to the House. He declined to
accept the pay of a member of
the House, which was voted to
him and other members who en-
tered the Army, and took only
the Army pay during the period
of his service. Further, he was

He came to the House in 1917,
just in time to vote for the reso-
luton which put the United
States into war with the central
powers and on the side of the
Allies. His service in that body,
except for his time in the Army,
covered y years, during which
he made a mark for himself in
that place, where it is difficult
for a man to come to the front
unless he has exceptional quail
fications. In 1928 he was nomi-
mated by the Democrats of Texas
for the Senate seat he now occu-
pies. Since then he has been
twice reelected, the last time in
1910.
In 1889, when the Senate was
debating repeal of the arms en-
barge, Senator Connally opposed
an amendment which would pro-
hibit the sale by this country of
poison gas, flame throwers and

The selection of Senator Con-

He was in line for the office-re-
garded as one of the choicest

Senator Connally has been a

committing himself to a blind

has dainty, hairy coat protecting
the new twigs and branches.
The leaves of the smooth cou-
sin are serrate leaflets, and in the
spring the beautiful flower clus-
ters Of greenish white stand out
against the lovely cool green of
the foliage, later the erect clus-
ters of ripening fruits turn from
pale green to pink and deeper
shades of this color until late
autumn, when the ruddy leaves and
fruit seem to vie with each other
in their glorious autumn reds and
garnet. There is a very cooling
and delicious drink made In sum-
mer from the slightly under-ripe
fruit.
The foliage of the smooth sumac
is clean and fine. Each year, as
thousands of people recognize the
marvellous decorative value of the
foliage and the ripe fruits, this
sumac Is being appreciated anG

bered to give it a place among their

One of Ablest Debaters.
The Texas Senator has insisted
on full aid to the British in their
war against the Axis powers, be-
lieving that this is a sure way for
the protection of American ter
ritory. In this connection he
said:
THE British Fleet, still master
of the seas, if conquered or de-
stroyed, would open the Atlantic
to AXIS naval and air power upon
Central and South America and
the Western World. 1t may be
said that Great Britain has
promised not to surrender her
feet. But Hitler has not prom
ised not to conquer it. There is
no prophet who can command

The new chairman of the For

of the ablest debaterS in the

he is interested. he is a great
partisan. He can be caustic and
a hard hitter in the give-and-

Calling attention to the fact that
these requirements already have

who have served six months in non

proper that the veteran of our

ney is generally interpreted as an
attempt by Admiral Nomura to
reopen the channel of useful
diplomatic negotiation between
the United States and Japan in
an effort to find some way toward
a modus vivendi.
Assuming that, in the mean
time, the japanese military lead
ers do not cast the dice, the task
of the two ENJOYS will be to en-
tighten the ministers at home
about the dire possibilities any
new advance of the japanese
Army and Navy might lead to.
AS the outcome of the "protec-
torate" over Indo-China en-
forced by Japan, her trade with
the Anglo-Saxon world will be
materially reduced.
What remains of it could
hardly survive an encroachment
on the sovereignty of Thailand
or any further advance in the
direction of Singapore. Then,
what would be Japan's reaction?
Would she rush to the Neither
land Indies? This is the prob
lem.
Designs Not Clear.
Three months ago, when Col.
Iwakuro arrived from Japan,
Admiral Nomura felt certain, on
the basis of what the Assistant
Military Attache told him, that
Premier Fumimaro Konoye sin
cerely wished to arrive at a
working agreement with the
United States and that he was
ready to halt Japan's expansion
