GENERAL WARNS THAT JApS ARE
 NO 'pUSH0vERS'

SEATTLE, March PA United States Army officer of forty-six years in the service bluntly gives warning that the American people must stop thinking the Japs are "pushovers" and must concentrate on unity at home as the way to win the war.
 Speaking before the Seattle Ad- vertising and Sales Club, Maj. Gen. David L, Stone, Commander of the Panama Canal Zone. from 1897 to 194O and now retired from active duty, declared that it isn't healthy to underestimate an opponent.
 Cites Russia
 Hitler thought Russia was a 'puShoyer what has happened to the Nazis," he pointed out.
 'The Japanese are clever and far sighted-they've been planning this thing since 1904 General Stone said. "They made this war busi- ness, and not only have they copied us in many things. but have im-. proved on us."

oil supply in the Dutch East Indies Burma region. The United Nations have lost that amount.
 Japan has acquired in her Pacific conquest II percent of the worlds tin supply, and the United Nations have lost that much
 Japan also has acquired more than four-fifth of the worlds rubber supply, again United Nations loss.
 Japan has control now of manpower totaling ap- proxmately 130,000000 people of newly conquered areas in the Southwest Pacific regoila number al- most equal to the population in the United States
 This is the reason that it has been pointed out repeatedly that have big job ahead of us.
 The United Nations must proceed to gain back these losses. The Japs may attempt to call halt to their offensive and sit what they have acquired But Japan safely stop as long as the United States has bases within bombing dis tances of Java Tmor and other Japanese posts as the United States does have in Australia? Can Japan stop when she is faced with just as formidable enemies on other fronts? We don't think SO
 But given enough time to establish forces of oc- cupation firmly, the Japs may be able to do this. ct quickly, the reason Americans must produce more rapidly.
 No nation can carry out such a campaign of conquest Japan has carried out in the last three months without considerably weakening its war pow sr If we can strike and strike hard before the Nip ocnese machine is prepared to hit again, we may be able to end this menace to civilization.

"Bushido" at Hong Kong
(New York Times)

(New York Times)
 The charges which Foreign Minister Anthony Eden recently made against the conduct of the Jap anese Army in Hong Kong take added weight from the circumstances under which they uttered. They addressed to the House of Commons, in which msstatement of fact, for whatever purpose, is considered to be a breach of faith The charges are shocking. They not surprising Like Ger many, Japan has started atrocous for an atrocoas purpose For Japan, as for Nazi Germany, atrocities are never accidents. They parts of a design.
 The Japanese in Hong Kong butchered helpless captives They raped and murdered women They refused medical care, adequate food and water to their prisoners They will not permit represen- tatves of the International Red Cross Committee to visit the prison camps. Their vaunted "bushido" the chivalry of old Japan-has become, MT. Eden said, "a nauseating hypocrisy"
 In inflicting these horrors on the unfortunates who come into their power they enjoy certain im- munty. The United Nations must not and cannot rctaliate in kind Japanese soldiers and civilians now within their lines We cannot degrade ourselves to the barbarian level But Hong Kong may do for what the sack of Ranking did for the Chinese. It may convince that in todays Japan, in Nazi Germany there is spirit diaboical that peace be made with it on any terms of unconditional surrender. This evil thing must be destroyed it will destroy the world.

Newspapers Read More Thoroughly
 5inee Wars 5fari

LOS ANGELES, March 27-The average American reads his news paper at least half an hour longer since Pearl Harbor, in the opinion of President Don Bedding of the Pacific Advertising Association.
 Bedding told the annual conven- ton of the Ice Industries Associa- tion, of California
 Our surveys show that advertis- ing has greatly increased in its eff fectiveness since the war began. The reasons are twO-fold First. there is more and better reading of papers because of the interest in war news. Second, people have more time to read the paper because of the tire shortage and changed living habits.
 "As the tire shortage forces peo- pie more and more to ride street cars and buses to and from work, the newspaper habit will become more and more fixed. The new reading habits of the people are reflected in the fact that the general circulation of newspapers since Pearl Harbor is going up."

STILL HANDING 'EM OUT

One day last week an aged, neat ly attTed man leaned on the ma hogany railing at the entrance to the old Supreme Court chamber in the Capitol, gazing intently at the busts in the wall niches and at the green Undiscovered bench where the tribunal once sat.
 Noting his keen interest, Capitol policeman Edward Banks began to relate some historic facts about the chamber.
 The Supreme Court used to meet here" Banks began pleasant ly. Those busts you see around the wall are of former chief jus tices, including John Marshall and other famous figures of the past.
 The visitor said nothing, and Banks continued:
 The bench up there, of course, is where the Court sat until 1885, when it moved to the new building across the plaza"

A SOLDIERS OPINION

ReaSslring the opinions expressed the other when he talked of the censoring of news. To a hungry, ill-informed and bewildered American public, his talk sounded like common sense
 Even though I old myself he said my main purpose is not to suppress news, but to get news for you"
 The reason for efforts by the United States and Australia to inform the public of what is going is that if it does not know the truth it's imagination operates thereby reducing confidence
 Stressin9 the importance of public opinion, he said Men will not fight and die without knowing what they are fighting and dying for. The care with which the enemy keeps the truth from his people and tries incline their minds toward certain channels and to mplant certain ideas shows the weight he lays upon it.
 Tn the democracies it is essential that the pub lie should know the truth"
 We are inclined to believe that the General hit the censor on the head in his remarks We are sure on the other hand, that the American public does not know the truth.
 By the truth the grim side of war The American public is being fed diet of rosy com muniques But it isn't fooled. Instead the Aneri- can people are conjuring up the grim side them selves-even General Macarthur sayS-their imag- nations are now operatng-at full speed They know there is grim side to and they know il is bad. What they don't know is how bad it is Anc ipaginations misleading

 Whether or not Japan will be able to maintain her gains is question the United States must an- swer. But at present, the box score shows:

We've got to build ships and more ships; we've got to keep our long lines of communications, stretching halfway around the world, and we've got to keep supplies going to Russia
 General Stone warned that the Japanese may try to take the Aleu- tian Islands, and may, by pressure from Hitler, move in on Russia from the rear in order to keep the United States out of Siberia, which would serve as a sprirgboard for an of fensive against Japan.

Friends of plain-talking Judge L. Boone Hamilton, World War veteran and a militant liberal, say he will run against Chapman.

MADAM SECRETARY

Secretary Perkins appeared at a secret Senate Labor committee meeting, the other day, following which Chairman Ebert Thomas told reporters that she had testi- fled on labor cooperation" in the war effcrt. However, the Utah Senator took care not to disclose that another matter had been dis cussed which would have made a much hotter news story.
 Miss Perkins was asked bluntly when she was going to resign.
 Further, she was asked the question by New Deal Senator James Murray of Montana. Mur- ray tossed this bombshell while the Secretary of Labor was chat tering away about the efforts of her conciliation service to end dis putes in war plants.
 Most of the letters I receive criticizing labor can be traced to business interests" Murray sug- gested at this point. Don't you think that this is all part of a cleverly- -deVised propaganda cam- paign by some of the big indus trial leaders to stir up trouble and undermine public confidence in labor?'
 No, I wouldn't go so far as to accuse industry of trying to stir up trouble" replied Miss Perkins, apparently nettled by the inter- ruption.
 I'm also getting lot of let ters about you, Madam Secretary, 9 continued Murray unperturbed. Workers in my State and else where are not satisfied with your administration of the Labor De- partment, and frankly would like to see you get out. Both factions of labor are agreed on this, but

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
SATURDAY, MARCH 28


 Benefic aspects rule through the daylight hours but after sundewn adverse influences are active. The configuration favors merchants and manufacturers
 ! HEART AND HOME: New lead CTS among American women will gain recognition through war work and among them homemakers will be prominent Housekeeping on a large scale will bring about many needed civic reforms. The value of children will be newly understood as the real wealth of the nation. Care of the under privileged will be wisely promoted according to novel and progressive ideas. In the land of plenty the disgrace of poverty will cause movements to eliminate indigency under the new order.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Astrolo- gers announce that through this year American money will be safe although its buying power may be reduced. The strength of the dol lar will be enhanced as it becomes the yardstick of the world. The stock market will be quiet No sensational fluctuations are fore seen at this time Next month a major change in world affairs is ! forecast and then there may be renewed interest in speculative sc- curities.
 i NATIONAL ISSUES: Real es- tate values will be widely discussed in relation to postwar conditions With the advance of spring, desire to purchase homes will overcome caution to an extent that will be beneficial. In the future the in- Aux of Europeans cannot be draS- tically limited, foreign seer pre- diets. Great demand is foretoh for acreage. Farming is to expand as a starving world turns to the United States where modern meth- ods of agriculture will contribute to the success of those who till the soil
 INTERNATIONAL AIRS: New Zealand, which since 1907 has demonstrated it's political and ec- onomic progressiveness, will under go many perils as the tides of wal rise about it. Benefic aspects are discerned for the people but ship ping and exporting will undergo serious difficulties. The cattle raising industry will be affected and fishing rights invaded, it is fore. told. The stars indicate that ev- cry people conspicuous for inde. fpendence and prosperity must sui. , fer from the war.
 Persons whose birthdate it il have the augury of year of ea cessiye activity. Danger of over strain is probable. The twelv, months will bring joys as well a! , cares.
 Children born on this day pro5 , ably will be ambitious and in dustrious. They may be inclined to be too optimistic about theil l future careers and may be impa tient under discipline.
