Feurs Fulfilled

During many centuries the people
of Japan have feared such an in
vasion of their territory as that to
which they have been treated during
the past few days. Ancient tradition
tells that warriors from the Asiatic
mainland came to their islands long
ages ago to conquer the Ainu and
other aboriginal inhabitants. Dread
of repetition of those hostile immi-
grations Of remote antiquity has been
a constant factor in the psychological
background of imperial policy for
generations.
And the anxiety has been justified
by national experience of which de-
tailed records still exist. Katsuro
Hara in his Introduction to the His
tory of Japan" discusses raid upon
Kyushu by pirates in more than
fifty ships in 1919. A Monaghan at
tack followed in 1874, nine hundred
ships participating-"too overwhelm-
ing in numbers even for our valiant
soldiers to fight against with some
hope of victory" The turbulent
wind and wave" it is affirmed, did
virtually more than mere human
efforts could have achieved" Seven
years later, in 1881, Khubilai, the
Emperor of Yuan. having immedi-
ately ordered the preparation Of an
other expedition on a far larger
scale" second assault was at
tempted. Vessels In excess OF 1000,
laden with well-eQuipped troops, ap-
peared near Hakata, and "a fierce
battle was fought" but the Mongols
could not complete their diSembark-
ment before a hurricane suddenly
arose that swept away at least two
thirds of their men and ships"
Elemental forces which worked at
very propitious opportunities" how
ever. did not intervene on a later
and. IN more conspicuous respects,
a more important occasion-namely,
the arrival Of Commodore Matthew
Calbraith Perry in the harbor OF
Yeddo on July s, 1883. Careful con-
aderation had been given to the
program which he was to follow to
the end that Japan should be opened
to intercourse with the United States
| The forceful character of American
intention in this regard is demon

in American Diplomacy in the

dore's report says that signals were
given to the squadron, and Instantly
the decks were cleared for action.

Representative Hoffman
Questions Star Story.


My attention was Just called to the
April l3 edition Of The Star, in which
a story captioned, Hoffman TO Testify

carried the statement: while the prose-
cutor did not reveal what he wanted
TO question Mr. Hoffman about, 1t was
expected the subject would be the wide
distribution Of a speech which the Mich
igan member made, called Roosevelt Is
a Judas"
Inclosed find two copies of the speech
and. II you will refer to the third para
graph. you will note that the term. "A
Judas" applies to those who asked us
to repudiate our independence, surrender
our existence as an independent Nation
and become part Of a United States
Of the World. Nowhere was the Presi-
dent referred to as "a Judas

Selling War Bonds

The announcement that the Treas
ury Department will launch cam
paign on May l TO induce all
Americans to invest on the average
10 per cent Of their incomes in war
bonds marks the beginning of
voluntary effort having dual pur-
pose-to help finance the war and to
combat imitation.
This effort is being made under
the direction of Secretary Morgen-
thsu, who, while thoroughly awake
10 the potential menace in current
infstionary trends, also believes
strongly in the desirability of deal
ing with the problem on a voluntary
basis. In this view he is opposed by
q number Of Government officials,
this latter group contending that the
danger is too acute to place reliance
on voluntary action. They would
deal with the problem through pro-
gram OF higher income taxes, espe-
cially in the smaller income group.
and some method Of compulsory
savings.
The greatest single infationary
influence Is held to be the excess Of
purchasing power over the supply
OF goods and services. Most esti-
mates place this excess at between
ten and twenty billion dollars-a tre-
mendous sum Of money in the hands
OF would-be buyers who can find
nothing to buy because of the con-
traction OF the commodity market,
Obviously, there is no way in which
the effect of this excess buying power
can be gauged with precision, but nc
one doubts that 1t Is powerful fac
tor tending to push prices upward.
Some experts believe that no price
ceiling can prevail against 1t, and
predict that the lid will be blown

Editors note: AS Mr. Hoffman states,
the printed speech does not refer to the
President as a Judas The speech does
refer to the Presidents conference with
Mr.. Churchill al sea; and then speaks
of others who have added their indorse-
ment to the Judas-like betrayal Of our
people into and as one of a United
States Of the World" This charges
by implication that the President was
guilty of the ~Judss-hke betrayal" al

AS Objective of Second World War.
To the Editor Of The Star
The President has suggested, face
tiously, we hope (as none knows the
seriousness Of the situation better than
he, that this war might be called "The
Survival War" Mr.. Roosevelt previously
had indicated that world War H. did
not much appeal to him. He thought
that more descriptive and appropriate
designation might be found.
Obviously, as World War I accom-
plished neither of its avowed objectives:
The War to End Wars" or THE War
to Make the World Safe for Democracy"
continuance of such effort and objec-
tive (after but quarter of a century
lull in conf1ict) would seem to be flying
in the face of both experience and
demonstrated futility.
Reverting to the suggestion Of Sur
vival War" which may be--and may
have been so intended-conducive to the
greatest all-out effort. the designation
is, admittedly. believe, lacking in high
inspirational value.
What principle (other than self-pres-
ervation and escape from the tyrant's
heeD binds together, In common cause.
q great democracy. a world empire q
communistic government. srstwhile
monarchies and republics7 Is there any7
believe there is and that it may be
found in the pronouncements Of q
great document which we all revere:
"We hold these truths to be self evident,
that all men are created equal, that they
are endowed by their Creator with GER
tain unalienable rights, that among
these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit
of Happiness. That to secure these
rights, governments are instituted among
men, deriving their just powers from
the consent Of the governed"
The accent is on the last phrase. Our
forefathers did not attempt TO tell
other nations what form of govern
ment they should have. They we're build
ing one of their own for which they
were willing to fight and die. Let's call
this the war for Preservation of HUI
man Rights" or The Human Rights
War" WILBUR H. CLOSE.

That organization is the new order" that
Germany. Japan and italy propose to set
up in all the earth. We are not listed In
that organization for slavery by name,
but the United States Is one of the coun-
tries that the Axis powers propose to
conquer and subject to their rule.
Because this Nation is rich in material
resources. it must not place It's trust In
money, only as needful but secondary
agent for victory. In tune with our
forefathers. let US put our trust in three
things in order to maintain our liberty
as they did to obtain this liberty for us
in God, In the righteousness of our cause
