Newspapers pointed out the jap
anese aim was to destroy harbors
and suggested that Indias great
ports-which are of paramount i'm
portance to the United Nations
may logically be the next targets.
The newspapers, while expressing
delight over the hot reception given
the Colombo raiders, declared that
If political problems we're settled
and India got down to the job be-
hind national government there
was no reason why the Indian
people should not meet the japanese
threat as we'll as did the residents
of Colombo.
Some London sources expressed
belief the final outcome of the ne
gotiations would come from de-
hberations today of the British war
cabinet on suggested changes in
Britain's terms, offered originally
on an all-or- nothing basis.
The core of the difficulty, evident
", was the insistence of Indians,
particularly the All-India Congress
party, that India control her own
defenses.
British sources said the govern
ment would consider any responsible
suggestion. One possibility, men,
toned by the London News Chron-
icle. was that an Indian would be-
come defense member of the Ex-
ecutive Council and that Gen. Sir
Archibald P Wavell, commander in
chief for India, would succeed Lord
Linlithgow as Viceroy to insure
full coordination of all defense
measures.

vitamin.
Chard IS planted In the early
spring In soil which has been pre-
pared along the same lines for the
reception of beet seeds. You will
have to thin the small plants out
when they are few inches high in
order to give room for the remain
ing plants to spread.
BY summer you can begin to cut
your crop Of chard. If you remove
the leaves carefully without damag-
ing the plant you should have fine
leaves coming along all summer and
until autumn arrives with its frosty
nights.
The broad petioles, or chards,
may be cooked as a pot herb. The
leaf blades may be cooked separate
ly from the leaves and served on
separate days In different ways.
The broad. white, tender blades
should be cooked In slightly salted
water. When they are tender drain
them and serve with butter, as you
would asparagus. They are as ten
der as marrow and are an excellent
addition to salads. They may be
cooked with meat, but the delicate
flavor is retained when the chard
is cooked In plain salted water.
This spring there are going to be
many newly started home gardens.
Chard should be included In all Of
them. In Europe this vegetable Is
grown extensively but not the won

Swiss chard should find a greater
welcome than it has among Ameri-
cans. It is a first cousin to the beet
and is cultivated for its broad. white
stalks. In Europe this plant is
highly appreciated, and now that
we have been assured that 1t con-
tains vitamin A we should be far
more interested in 1t.
Vitamin A Is essential for norma!
and sound growth OF tooth structure
and for vitality. 1t also helps to
keep body tissues healthy and in
this way assists resistance to bac-
terial infections, such as those OF
the throat. ear and kidneys. The
body stores this important vitamin
to be drawn upon when needed.

The American Way

exception One of the strange things about it that
Notwithstanding the big majOrities which the Repub-
cans had in practically all of the big states of the
union the Democrats still retain majority of mem
bers in both branches of The fact that the
senate will remain Democratic may not be strange
since only certain number of senators chosen
cry two years. but in the house every member
voted at the election last week.
Republican governors were elected in many of the
states with big majorities. After such election
the word is Immediately sent out, and widely discuss
ed, that the defeated party is down and out for all
time. But it doesn't work out that way in America
with free elections Here is proof: Back in 1928
Herbert Hoover elected president by over 600O-
900 votes, of the biggest plurality given
presidential candidate. Then it was announced by
many that the party he represented would remain in
power indefinitely But at the very next presidential
election Mr. Hoover the worst defeated candidate

Dental election (1936) Mr.. Roosevelt defeated Mr.
Landon by plurality Of almost 100000; and in
the following election the plurality Of the president
dropped to approximately 5,00O,OO0 votes, s.s
During these periods the Democrats held
whelming majority in both branches of congress- and
the Republican members few that their votes
and influence counted for but little Such condition
not for the interests of the county whole,

does this hold good nationally but equally true In
state and county governments
The apparent setback given the president Nov 8,
furnishes consolation the leaders Of Japan,
Germany and Italy, since every candidate running for
congress had pledged 100 percent effort to win the
war, and the campaign largely fought that
basis with healthy rivalry between the parties in as

other toward speedy victory Those countries ruled
