purposes and plans which are set
forth in it.
The fifth paragraph of the Me-
mortal reads as follows:
THE Three Eastern Provinces"
(of Manchuria) "are politically the
imperfect spot in the Far East. For
the sake of self-protection, as well
as for the protection of others,
Japan can not remove the Difficult
ties in Eastern China unless she
adopts policy of blood and iron!
But in carrying out this policy we
have to face the United States,
which has been turned against us by
Chinas policy of fighting poison
with poison. In the future, If we
crush the United States, just as in
the past we had to fight in the
Russo-Japanese war. But in order
to conquer China we must first con-
quer Manchuria and Mongolia. In
order to. conquer the world we must
conquer China. If we succeed in
conquering China the rest of the
Asiatic countries and the South Sea
countries will fear us and surrender
to us. Then the world will realize
that Eastern Asia is ours and will
not dare to violate our rights. That
Is the plan left to us by Emperor
Meiji, the success of which is es-
sential to our national existence. |"
Pearl Harbor Dates from 1927.
Such is the essence of the Tanaka
Memorial. Such is the established
program of Japan: Korea, Man
churia, Mongolia, China, America
the World! The shells dropped on
Honolulu December 7, were loaded
in July, 1927, when Baron Tanaka,
Premier of Japan. bowed before
Hirohito, Emperor of Japan, the
Son of Heaven. and noting that
his life had been spared by divine
will when a Chinese attempted to
kill him at Shanghai on his return
from Europe and America. accepted
the responsibility for a conquest of
the world by Japan.
The events of the last IS years
have quite definitely proved the
authenticity of the Tanaka Memo
rial and established the fact Of its
adoption by the Emperor of Japan
and the Japanese government as a
fixed policy.
If we members of the journalistic
expedition sent by the Carnegie
Endowment for International Peace
to Japan, Korea, Manchuria and
China in 1929 had known of the
Tanaka Memorial our understand
ing of the situation in those coun-
tries and of the purposes Of Japan
would have been far more complete
than it was. But then it is quite
possible-indeed probable-that if
the Memorial had been then in evi-
dence, the expedition would not
have been undertaken or permitted.

Revelation of Its Terms
Puts Puzzle Together
In Toduy's Pottern
BY GIDEON A. LYON.

In the spring of 1929 the Car
negie Endowment for international
Peace organized and financed visit
of "representive American journal
lists" to Japan, Manchuria and
China, to study the economic, politi-
cal and social conditions In those
countries. The Star was included
in the invitation and 1t was my good
fortune and privilege to be desig-
mated its representative.
Other newspapers represented
were the Atlanta Constitution, the
Chicago Daily News, the Houston
Post-Dispatch, the Los Angeles
Times, the st. Louis Post Dispatch
the Scripps- Howard newspapers and
the Springfield Republican. Ac-
companying the party was George
A. Finch, then assistant secretary
and now secretary of the Carnegie
Endowment.
The invitation stated that the
guests of the endowment were under
no obligations whatever, expressed
or implied, it being the sole object
of the endowment that they should
use their time in the Orient to the
best advantage. to the end that
when thereafter they discussed Ash
attic questions they would be able
"to make use Of the results of their
own independent observations and
reflections"
Observations Published.
While there was no suggestion
that the members Of the party would
avail themselves of the opportunity
to write their respective newspapers
about their experiences, it was in
dicated that the fullest freedom
would be given to that end. In con-
sequence of this opportunity, wrote
and sent to The Star So letters from
Japan, Korea, South Manchuria and
China, which were printed in its
columns between June 8 and August
26, 1929. These So letters to The
Star were all written ION the road"
They embraced a wide variety of
topics, ranging from the physical
aspects of the lands traversed to
racial, social and political conditions.
There was no time before de-
parture and while travelling through
the countries visited for a thorough
study of the historical background,
without which full understanding
of the then prevalent political, social
and international conditions was
we'll nigh impossible. Political propa-
ganda was not lacking, however
Our guides and travel escorts, both
japanese and Chinese. grasped every
opportunity to engage in "educa-
tional" dissertation, to establish the
righteousness or the iniquity of ia
pans program and policy in respect
to the extension of its dominion
over Korea and Manchuria
So complicated Is the history of
Japan's aggression in Eastern Asia
that it is doubtful whether, in the
brief period of preparation for this
Far Eastern tour an adequate
knowledge of the situation could
have been gained.
There was, however, plenty OF
direct but conflicting instruction on
the part of the Japanese. Korean
Manchurian and Chinese guides and
couriers who accompanied us in
relays. One consequence of this po-
litical babel was that I, at least, for

velvet, Dolly Madison's shawl and
lace from various other gowns.
Mrs. Besson confided in a reporter
several years ago that Mrs. Lin

about its condition was the tobacco
stains at the bottom, a thing we
don't have to cope with these days"

ATTACK KEY WORD

Next. consider the progress of
the war, Little intimated. Day
after day we hear military men,
political leaders and just plain
folks PROFOUND the value of a
lightning offense, second front
and a Sustained attack at enemy
homelands. Defensive maneuvers
have proven themselves to be
dubious at best. The key word
of the war has become attack.
And Little believes that the key
word Of football will be attack.
He isn't saying that coaches will
just give the boys a ball and tell
them to toss it wildly. But he
does think that the stress on rock
ribbed tackles and stone wall
guards will be relaxed gradually.
Not that the center buck of the
off-tackle smash will be aban-
doned, they will be used less fire.
quently. y/
The accent will be switched to
daring, 10 deception and to indi-
vidual brain work. Football will
remain a tough game. but II will
become smarter game. The
material will be selected with q
view TO increased potentialities Of
attack, and the boys themselves
will provide more action by taking
more chances. A tie will no longer
he moral victory. 1t will be
defeat. ~

These thoughts will be trans

The War

NEW YORK. May 20 (UP).-
The best dressed and possibly the
best versed of the college coaches
peered through his pince-nez into
the future today and there de-
tected a subtle but definite link
between the strategy Of the battle
field and that OF the gridiron.
The war. predicted Lou Little,
will substantially alter the tactics
and psychology OF football. Pri-
marily. the balance of power will
shift TO the offense.
An old warrior himself-he
served as a captain in World
War 1.-The sage of Morningside
Heights explains his contention
simply. In the past six months,
he emphasizes, people have be-
come offense minded. Individual
exploits and daring have been
stressed everywhere. Boys-par-
ticularly-are thinking in terms of
commands, pursuit pilots and
parachutiSts.

Radiant Living
OUTWARD
BOUND
By
Rev. Charles Milton Griffeth

If you have a vivid imagination,
thank God for it.
God has given us the power of
Imagination to enable us to escape
from the dull drabness of confined
living.
Take, for instance, that man who
is shut up all day in his office, a
prisoner of dull routine. There he
sits day by day chained like a slave
to his desk, his eyes glued to the
tasks at hand, seeing nothing but
what is presented to his physical
eyes.
Often when so incarcerated by
enslaving routine, 1 have leaned
back from the desk, and, shutting
my eyes, imagined myself to be
again on the tilted afterdeck of an
outbound schooner ,plowing through
a rough sea to some fascinating
port beyond the distant horizon.
With the twang of the sea air in
my lungs and with my ears filled
with the music of whistling ropes,
swapping canvas, and creaking
blocks, I again stand spellbound at
the wheel and glance aloft at the
full spread of her windfilled canvas,
and then watch her long nose as it
dips into the onrushing surging
sea, shooting up great sheets of
drenching water.
What if you are a prisoner ut a
desk, or tied down to bench, or
bending over tub filled with cloth
es. Bestir your God-given mag
nation Catch the spirit of being
Outward Bound!" Get a new in
terest. Take up a new study. Seek
some further experience in spiritual
living.
Then each morning, as you jump
from your bed and are slipping into
your clothes, there will be new
glow upon your face, a new zest in
your step, new note in your voice,
a new aspiration in your heart, for
you will feel that you are today
outward bound for some worth
while accomplishment.

Scientists Hunting
For Four-Leaf Clovers

Hunting four-leaf clovers may not
be silly occupation, after all. 1t
is now revealed that scientists with
as many as three college degrees
have been hunting them and expert
menting with them for some time.
If the four-leaf trait in white clo-
yer can be tiled up" with greater
resistance against prolonged dry
spells or with higher clover tonnage
per acre, then the farmers they are
trying to benefit will be lucky in
deed. The four leaves can be seen,
while these more practical traits can
not, and if these characteristics or
other valuable ones can be associ-
ated and the plant persuaded to
breed true, then the plant geneti-
cists will score another triumph
over thin soil.
Up to date, planting seed from
such plants has been no guarantee
of four-leafed progeny. On the 9TH
er hand, you can get large num-
bers of plants of the coveted form
if you make stem cuttings in the
way you make rose cuttings.
First, choose plant having large
numbers of four-leaflet leaves tsome
have more than others). You may
take piece of the creeping stem
having one node Cor buried nitro
gen storage-planD, but it is best to
take cutting with two nodes. Plant
it in fertile soil with the proper
amount of moisture and these condi-
tions probably will yield more lucky
numbered leaves. Commercial use
is already being made of this infor-
nation
