Dateiine," by Delbert Clark
(Stokes).
Although having no illusions about
the city which, as he says. "crouches
miserably in reclaimed marsh,
and lifts up its eyes to the hills of
Virginia. and Maryland which cut
off the breeze" Mr.. Clark, a vet
eran member of the New York
Times Washington staff, manages
to invest his book with great deal
of the glamour and excitement of
capital newschasing.
From first to last Clark is con-
cerned with the progress, ethics
and usefulness OF his craft in
democratic society; tracing the his
tory of Washington newsgathering
from the vitriolic and venial dis
patches Of 100 years ago to the pres
ent era Of comparative respectable
ity But responsibility definitely
does not mean dullness. The &C.
counts of our latter day saints and
sinners are replete with inside sto-
ries. quoting chapter and verse.
This high assay value in anecdote
runs all through the book. 1t in
cludes some choice bits about Mr..
Coolidge's pathetic attemps at nu-
moring the press. a delightful yarn
about the slightly insane congress
man who sought to influence news
paper men with annual oyster roasts
and it features timely and factual
accounts of reporters and their run

This book can be read with profit by
anybody who wants to know what is
going on in Washington and how it
gets in the papers and on the air.

THE preparation and application
i of putty for steel sash follows
closely that for the more common
wood variety, save that litharge is
an added ingredient to promote ad-
hesion on the comparatively smooth
metal.
To one part (by volume) each of
white lead and litharge is added 8
parts whiting, the whole being
kneaded in linseed oil until the
proper consistency is reached. This
is in comparison with the 2 to 3 part
mixture of soft paste white lead and
whiting usually specified for wood
sash.
In both cases the putty dries TO
frmly adhesive mass, yet the white
lead base remains sufficiently elastic
to allow for the expansion and con-
traction of the surface. This is the
secret which keeps sash maintenance
costs at minimum.

We Can't Ignore Japan

During the first six weeks of the war in the Pacific
the United States has suffered loss of "face not
only in China, the Netherlands East Indies and
Australia but in certain South American countries
Obviously, no war can be successfully fought if
tons on the basis of popular opinion Just the same,
democracy at war, as in peace has to give some at
tenton to the matter of public opinion, it is mani
tested at home and in the nations allied with it's efforts
Chinese, both in this country and in China, have
expressed disappointment statements by American
and British officials describing Hitler the No.
enemy OF the United Nations. The elation which fol-
lowed the outbreak of war between Japan and the
United States and Great Britain has somewhat disap
stages of the in the Far East.
It is perfectly natural for the Chinese to be con-
cerned lest they be reegated to the background while
Nevertheless they would be foolish to ease their pres
sure upon the invading Japanese Moreover, they
should understand that this country is now at war
with Japan mainly because refused to give Japan
free hand in China
Without pretending to know the distribution of the
ships guns, planes tanks and manpower of the United
Nations and without any title the role of strategs
think that it would be unfortunate mistake for
the people of this country to believe that they win
the war against Hitler while ignoring the against
Japan While the overthrow of Hitler would be fol-
lowed no doubt by an early termination of the strug
gle with Japan, the burden of defeating Hitler might
become incomparably greater if we permitted Japan
to make clean sweep in the Far East.
At this time the main hope of defeating Hitler in
l942, or 1913 is the powerful Red Army of Soviet
Russia The Russians are fighting and killing the
Nazis in campaign which bids fair to be disastrous
to Hiter's ambitions. The bright prospects of the
Soviet, however be dmmed by events transpiring
in the Far East.
For example, if Japan captures Singapore, nvades
Burma and occupies the Netherlands Indies large
Japanese armies will be freed for operations elsewhere
Obviously, this would invite Japanese attack upon
Russia in the Far East timed to coincide with another
offensive against Russia by Germany Forced to fight
on two fronts, the Russians would face tremendous
difficulties aggravated by the fact that we would be
unable to exert any upon Japan in the Far
East.

The Japs applied the ancient prin-
ciple of being there ''fustest with the

carefully built hornets nest' was
created to the utter indifference of
the American public in spite of the
futile warnings of military men.

asked for $5,00O,O 900 to improve the
harbor facilities Of Guam. Con-

the American navy to go 5000 miles

made that ''for Japan to attack the

Already the Philippines are virtu-
ally part of this nest. AS soon as
the Japanese had secured beach,
heads in the archipelago. they made
temporary air bases and the narrow
waters which might give entrance to
American supply ships were made
impossible. Even if American sup
ply ships could have reached the is
lands in time to save Manila and
relieve General Macarthur, they
could not have penetrated the mar
row waters protected by land-based
planes. American bombers-our
pitifully few bombers-did some
damage to the Japanese here, but
bombers cannot fight long against
protecting interceptors and fighters.
The little fighting planes can fly only
a few hundred miles. We have few
airplane carriers and it would be
risky business to send them past the
hornets nest. Carriers are about
the most vulnerable things afioat.

There is a strange open secret

little is known even to our high

This forbidden territory includes
a group of scattered islands cover
ing a sea space about 1000 miles
from east to west and thousand
miles from north to south. 1t is the
hiding ground Of the Japanese feet.
Military people believe that most Of
Japan's naval strength, not in &C.

the way to Malaysia is sheltered
there. And this sea stronghold is

Followers of Christ are those who
have not counted their goods nor
their persons their own, but have
willingly yielded all to Him. Obvi-
ously many who profess to follow
Him have only done so in that meas
ure which will not interfere with
their own plans and interests. They
need to study this lesson with care.
The call of Christ is one which
demands willing and wholehearted
obedience.
