He Knows the Japs
(The Daily Olympian)

Nlne Dally Olymplan)
 The recent speech of Joseph c. Grew, who has just returned to the United States after ably ing for many years ambassador to Japan, was the kind that ought to do more to jolt Americans out of their complacency than the talks that have been delivered by other members of the Admins- tration whose knowledge of the countries our enemies was acquired during brisk To-day tours of elegant hotel Hobbies, bars and golf courses.
 Grew probably knows the Japanese as well as any white man can expect to understand the treacherous rascals. Unlike the many ambassadors and minis ters who are given diplomatic posts rewards for contributing to political slush funds, Grew worked at his job, studying and trying solve problems, endeavoing to learn something of the ways of the people to whom he had been sent.
 In his speech Grew described the Japs as swash- bucklers, and he issued solemn warning that they will fight with all the force and power at their command until they utterly crushed" He further warned that all Americans must make every sacrifice asked of them if stalemate is to be pre- vented in this war and he confirmed the stories of unspeakable atrocities committed by the Japs told by other Americans who have returned from Tokyo.
 Said Grew of the Japs They have put great store in what they consider to be the white mans flabbiness They look upon us Americans as consti- tutional weddings demanding our daily comforts and unwilling to make the sacifices demanded for victory in war against military machine which has prepared and trained itself in Spartan simplicity and the hardness and toughness demanded by war
 They attach great importance to the former dis unity in the United States over the war issue and they still count on an apprecable interval before an aroused nation can find itself and develop fight Ing spirit of its own. By that time they feel Japan will be in complete control of all East Asia"
 Grew also warned that if Americans think "we can continue to lead our normal lives, leaving the spirit of self-sacrifice to our soldiers and sailors letting the intensfcation of production program take care of itself shall unquestionaby risk the danger of a stalemate in this war of ours wtl Japan"
 coming from recognized authority Crews ana. lysls Of conditions in Japan, his appraisal of Japar as military power, and his predictions should bt welcomed by everyone who wants to face the wal realistically. His talk the kind that inspires al impatient citizen to give a hot-foot to every on, | Of his countrymen who isn't yet awake to the peril
 which surround this nation and to pin back the ear of all big-league rackeeers who are capitalizing or | this war and tweak the noses of all the arrogan
 ntue dave becks who are to be found in nearly ever, settlement in the land and who are responsible fol
 thousands of war work stoppages which althouef each may not amount to much, do when added to
 gether, seriously retard the effort and ieopar dlze the lives of our soldiers sailors and marines.

HOOVER SAYS
 WATCH OUT
 FOR TAKERS
Many Persons lmperson. dfing Officers Have
 Been Ndbbed

Beware of fake Federal agents and officers, Director J. Edgar Hoover of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, has again cautioned. As a result of numerous imperson- atipn violations throughout the nation, MT. Hoover urges members of the public not to furnish infor- nation to any person purporting to represent Federal agency un- less he displays credentials posi- lively identifying both himself and the organization.
 Numerous cases have recently arisen where unauthorized persons, posing as FBI agents, have secured information and privileges which they would not normally have re- ceiyed.
 Watch out for the alleged inves- tigator who flashes" momentarily his badge or credentials, warned the FBI Director. Insist upon scrutinizing them closely and if there is any doubt as to his auth enticity, report the incident to the nearest office of the FBI.

HIROHITO A PUPPET

With the return of American correspondents who have been interned in Tokyo, it becomes and more apparent that the Land of the Rising Sun is being by Hrohito, theoretical supreme ruler of Japan but by military dictatorship modelled along the style all of the Axis nations are wearing these days.
 Even as they have usurped the power in Germany and Italy the military gangsters have taken over in Japan Hirohito is forced to sit by while Premier General Hidek Toio pulls the strings The shy little emperor the correspondents say, rarely leaves the of his prison palace in the heart of Tokyo knew nothing of the preparations for the Jap attack cn Pearl Harbor.
 When Gen Jimmy Doottle and his boys raided Tokyo, We thought at the time that it was too bad that he gave them orders not to bomb the palace But suppose now that it wouldn't have done much good because Tojo probably wasn't in the mansion.
 Hirohto seems to have little to do with what hap pens He is merely informed of what has happened
 It is believed by correspondents that the emperor against the attack America had been all along As a youth Japans divine ruler" trav- eled around and learned something of the strength of American and British people. For time a fac tion opposed to Japanese American advised Hirohito and tried to maneuver events so that he could be made into buffer for the ant-war faction in Japan.
 But the army thought different. Remember the number of suicides" and outright assassinations of Jap statesmen before the war? The army had the guns
 The entire Japanese cabinet all but wiped out in the slaughter of 1886.
 This is another hunk of proof that leaders who elected by the people are the only kind of lead the world should have. How many times in his tory have weak kings and emperors had their na- tons led into against their wishes because they were too weak to administer to the affairs of gov ernment?

AIRplANE SPRUCE
 DEVELOPMENT GETS
 ACTUAL STARTING

The Ketchikan Chronicle of Sep- tember 12 says the first logging crew to arrive in Ketchikan from the south to start work on the airplane spruce development project came here on the Prince George and is to leave for the west coast this afternoon.
 The 36 men, who will be engaged in the Spiering-Wak project at Tuxekan Island, are to leave for there in two groups. About 20 of them, experienced loggers, are to be taken to the camp site today. Later, the remainder will go there on a chartered boat.
 J. M. Wyckoff of the Forest Serv- ice is to leave for Tuxekan by plane this afternoon and will be at the site when the others reach there. Also, the Ranger 10 of the Forest Service is leaving for Edna Bay, site of another camp which has been established for the airplane spruce program, with some workers.
 With the logging operators anx- ious to get started, and with a scow- load of building material already en route direct to Tuxekan from Seattle, it is expected that actual logging operations will be under way at the end of next week

people. One furniture dealer was so deeply impressed with the quaok coloneps story he allowed the latter to delay payment of an &C., count because he was busy inves- tigating Pearl Habor. The "Col. oner' was sentenced to four years in Federal prison.
 In New Jersey bogus Maiol was such an able faker that he began ordering a good portion o1 the citizenry about. He had begun and supervised the construction of an Army Canteen which did busi- ness for five weeks, purchased a new automobile with a $500 bad check, and forced the concessions aire to hire his fiancee to keen records required by the govern ment." When the Major" was un- masked, he promptly asserted that he was, an FBI agent posing as a Major in order to ferret out sub- versive activities among the Army construction workers. He was a fraud and was promptly dealt witt, by the FBI.
 Watch Credentials
 It is good business for persons to know with whom they are deal lng Particularly at this time it IS Imperative that information not De given to unauthorized persons Everyone, when asked for informa- . tlon or privileges by any person who claims to be a Federal agent or officer, should insist upon see- ing his proper credentials.
 Impersonating a Federal officer IS Federal offense and all sus- pected infractions of this statute should be reported immediately to the nearest office of the FBI.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19
 Adverse planetary aspects domin- ate today. In the evening the stars smile upon persons in positions of power. The President of the Unit ed States should benefit.
 HEART AND HOME: Courage and fortitude will be more and more necessary as the exigencleS and uncertainties of war affect the homes of America This is a day for extending patriotic activities and for holding firmly to faith in the victory of right. The stars promise a glorious outcome to the worst war in all history, but there is no sign to presage an early ces- sation of the conflict. It is well to prepare for long period of world upheaval which necessarily will affect this country seriously.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: New laws of various sorts will disturb busi- ness routnes and increase compli- cations in bookkeeping. Certain crop shortages will raise food prices Allocation of men. and wo- men to places where they will be most useful on fighting fronts and i industry is foreseen. Taxes will in- crease and will cause heavy bur dens on the white collar class. Fifth columnists will spread rumors intended to cause unrest and in- ternal strife among members of la Dor unions. Effects of last months eclipses will be felt in added an- xieties and demand for increased war effort, including heavier in- vestments in bonds and stamps.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Substitutes for rubber will ease the motor car situation. Transportation for work CTS will be provided at low cost as Yankee ingenuity meets each war problem. Inconvenience will be slight for Americans who easily adjust themselves to changing con- ditions and cheerily make the best of each necessary change in their pleasant living routines. After the first rationing scares abundance will replace shortages.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Peace gestures are indicated as the United Nations gather strength The Axis powers will seek to en- trap the Allies, but nothing short of complete victory will be consid- cred by the democracies. The stars presage months and even years fl which complete subjugation of the Nazis and the Japanese must bt accomplished. There is sign pre-. saging some sort of negotiation. between Russia and Japan.

 ent and impetuous. They should be taught the value of caution.

Fake Exposed

Only a short time ago a swash- buckling adventurer posing as an FBI agent secured several sums oi money and an expensive ring from a young woman. From another gullible victim he obtained $32O( while she basked in the thoughts of his important Federal connec- tions. To substantiate his false assertion that he was an FBI agent this man flashed" a gold badge, which he took pains not to allow his victim to see closely. The FBI ended t his impersonator' transcontinental phila n d rings, however, and he was given a four year sentence in prison.
 The investigator" who has only badge may be an imposter; ask to see his credentials. The official credential card of the FBI con- tains the signature and photograph of the Special Agent as well as the signatures of the Attorney Gen. eral and the Director of the FBI.
 The wartime efforts of our na- tion could be endangered by un- scrupulous persons who might take advantage of their false positions to commit sabotage or secure con- fidential information.
 There has been a marked in- crease in impersonations of Army and Naval officers in recent months. In Washington, D. C., a pompous General" boldly requi- sitioned an official Army car-with chauffeurAto go job hunting around Washington. He had no Army con- nections at all and was arrested by the FBI on impersonation charges.

WHY ADVERTISE?

In a recent speech A. c. Foreman of the War time Prices and Trade Board of Canada told busi- nessmen that if they expect to make comeback after the war they must keep advertising
 Tt is fatal mistake he said ito shut down on your advertising"
 Foreman stressed the importance of keeping a firms name or products name before the public He mentioned five large firms with big names that passed into receivershp the result of neglected advertising during the last war, and pointed out that If business firm can't think of anything else tc advertise it should advertise for the effort ano good will"

Better Health

MATURE has placed the ear
' deep inside a heavy bone of
the skull to protect it as much
as possible.
Curiously enough she made no
such provision for the eye, so
that our eyesight is constantly
threatened by the accident of
flying splinters of glass or steel.
The organ of hearing is threat
ened only by two classes OF
natural enemies. One is infec-
ton which worms its way by
devious channels into the middle
ear and the other is a degenera-
ton of the organs, which prob
ably depends on a general bodily
condition.
1 said the organ of hearing
advisedly-the external ear is
subject TO several diseases of an
annoying nature, but which do
not threaten the sense OF hear
ing.
One Of these is itching Of the
skin of the auditory canal. l
suppose there are few people
who are not troubled with this
to a certain degree.
1t is due to ringworm infec-
ton, and any solution which con-
tains alcohol applied on cotton
pledgets will give relief.
THE application should be done
Il by a doctor who can see
with an Illuminating mirror be-
cause the ringworm is likely to
occur in spots and patches, but
most of us just put a pledget
moistened with some sort of so
luton, such as equal parts OF
boric acid and alcohol, and find
the results quite good.
In order to prevent recurrence,
keep the ear dry. Water is the
worst thing for an itching of the
external ear.
1t is not always easy during
your ablutions TO keep water
out, but by a little ingenuity it
can be done.
Another feature about II is the
extreme chronicity and tendency
to recur.
Once you have an itchy ear
you must expect it to recur over
and over again. But the same
treatment is as good the second
time as the first.
WAX in the ear or a foreign
w body in the ear are condi-
tons which are not quite so SIM
pie as they appear at first. In
fact at times the accumulation
of wax in the ear may strain the

Good Business

DAYMENT of an extra 100000 to per-
i nit overtime wages on construction of
the Herman Gardens Housing Project as
authorized by common council, is good
business.
Through the expenditure, the homes
will be completed five months sooner than
scheduled and provide needed housing
facilities.
Earlier completion means that rent
checks from tenants will start coming in
that much sooner.
Corporation Counsel Paul E. Krause
Is authority for the statement that the
extra rent will approximately equal the
extra costs of rushing the job.
