The Political MiIl
Senotor's Broadcast to Joponese People
Predicts Their Fate in War With U.S..
BY GOULD LINCOLN.

This country is starting today
on what may be its toughest
year since the Civil War. 1t is
starting. however, with its peo-
pie unified for a tremendous ef-
ford. Within the space of IL
months it has changed from a
basis of "all aid short of war"
to the fighting foes of the Axis
to that of an actual belligerent.
1t was forced to pick its way to-
ward all-out national defense by
a strong anti-war and isolationist
spirit which prevented the real
quickening of the war effort.
That sentiment is all behind us
since the Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor.
Not all of that 12-month period
in which to prepare was lost. A
great deal has been accom-
plished, both in increasing the
armed forces and in ship and
plane building, and in production
of all kinds of essential material.
Last night Senator Thomas
of Utah, who spent seven years in
Japan. broadcast to the Japa-
nese people special New Year
Day message. If it reached Jap
anese ears-spoken as it was in
the japanese language - it was
not calculated to inspire them
with hope. Rather, it carried
home to them an understanding
of what their war lords had got
ten them into. Initial successes
in the Pacific, with their sur
prise attacks, do not spell final
victory.
Senator Thomas outlined to
the japanese what they had to
expect of the future, giving
them picture of what this coun-
try has resolved to do in the
coming year-to build 10000
war planes, and to increase the
production rate we'll beyond So
600 a year; to produce $4,000
tanks; to launch approximately
$50 fighting ships and to speed
production on hundreds more; to
add 600 merchant vessels to the
bridge of ships; to increase the
Army to 2,500,OO0 men, fully
trained and equipped; to train
more than 10000 war plane pi-
lots.
Able TO Fulfill.
No one doubts the ability of the
United States to 60 through
with these resolutions, or its pro-
ductive capacity, or its vast re-
sources. And when these things
have been accomplished, what
then will be the situation Of the
japanese?
When next New Year Day
comes" Senator Thomas said,
"the United States and her Allies
will still be fresh, will still be
strong with an even greater
strength than before, while your
rapidly dwindling resources in
supplies and manpower bring
you larger measure Of exhaus-
ton than is yours today"
Pointing to the boasts which
were made by the japanese war
lords at the start of the war
against China, in 1887 when
Nanking, the capital Of China
was taken, the Utah Senator said
that instead of falling, China has
become stronger in each success
sive year. And now, he said,

"Well," I concluded, YOU can

Interesting Tidbits.


Whether this information Is
passed along to our enemies is
difficult to say, since the State
Department is most punctilious
about not interfering with estab-
lished international custom. 1t
stands to reason, however, that
the diplomatic dispatches filed to
governments closely connected
with the Reich, such as Spain or
Finland, must contain all the
interesting tidbits their repre-
sentatives in Washington are able
to gather.
Even though the representa-
tives of such countries may wish
to refrain from divulging mill
tary secrets they accidentally
discover, it is obvious that they
must answer any queries their
foreign Offices or war depart
ments ask them. American Of
flcials are reticent in their
relations with these diplomats.
But they may pick up interest
ing gossip at some indiscreet din
ner or cocktail party or from in
discretions Of newspapers and
magazines. These more than
amply fill the needs of the Axis.

is probably an attempt to extend

Unworthy to Lean on Russia.
The reported presence Of japanese

nese anxiety as to an American ap-
proach to Japan by the northern

course, dependent on the attitude Of
the Russian government toward the

which may be clarified at any time.
II, however, the clarification involves
Russian hostility to Japan, the first
notice the Japanese are likely to
get of 1t is the appearance Of Rus

But 1t is useless and 1t is un-

We have allowed ourselves to be

Particularly in the Pacific, with

Urged to Keep
Egg Cases in
Circulation

With an increased production of
eggs to be marketed, more care
must be taken to see that farm
ers and dealers secure used egg
cases with as little difficulty as
possible, says the County War
Board. If egg marketing is. to func-
ton smoothly, all egg cases must be
kept in circulation No cases should
be held over a reasonable period.
This type of boarding is to be de-
plored as much as the boarding of
other commodities vital to our all
out war effort
A few suggestions for better care
and use of egg cases are.
/. Open cases carefully, SO that
the lid can be used many times.
2. Use care in removing filters.
BY being careful, they can be used
again and again; egg breakage will
also be reduced.
3. Replace flats and filters in
empty cases. They are hard to
obtain and a case is useless without
them.
4. Don't drop cases. That requires
extra nails and time to repair.
5. Make every case 60 another
trip, That helps overcome the
shortage.
6. Don't hoard cases, Let case:
not being used go back into circula
lation and there will be enough fol-
everyone.
