SteeI Ingot Tonnage
AT Record Levels
Current Month
March Total Likely
. To Be Near Peak of
Last October
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 24-The Iron
Age said today March steel ingot
production was shattering all rec
ords and represented the opening of
high-pressure spring campaign"
that would exceed previous industry
achievements in its intensity.
March tonnage will be close to
the an-time monthly record pro-
duction of last October" the trade
magazine said, "and will be consid-
erably ahead of March last year. - s.
Steel production, unless unfore-
seen circumstances arise, will con-
tinue to make new records as the
year progresses. Raw material prob
lens are not grave at the moment
and steel mill maintenance pro-
grams are reported to be under con-
troll. Even should there be a slack
ening in new business in April from
the high order volume of March no
special immediate significance would
be attached to the decline"
Power Output Up.
A slight upturn in demand for
electric power last week was report
ed today by the Edison Electric
Institute, which estimated consump-
tion at 3,946,836,000 kilowatt hours,
against 3,944,679,o 900 in the preced-
ing week.
Generator output for the Nation
as whole thus continued at more
than II per cent above that of
year ago, a rate of increase higher
than that earlier in the year.
Pacific Coast output was 28.3 per
cent greater than in the comparable
week of 1912, playing a major part in
lifting the national average 17.6 per
cent above a year ago

Japan before she can build up
her resources from the lands
she has conquered. To delay is

Hail Middle America

NE of the major trumphs of this administration and
~ one that all Americans irrespective of party
approve is the closer alliance between the United States
and all Latn-American countries from the Rio Grande
to Chile.
One of the most important groups in these countries
is what known as the Central American republics,
called Middle America" These nations Mexico,
Guatemala, Honduras Ell Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa
eRica Panama Cuba Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
They bridge the gap between North and South
America and are immensely valuable to
sthembecause they supply the United States with coffee

CompIaceney Remains

THE annals of international relations are full of curious
/ misconceptions but obstinate tragic the
failure of successive American administrations TO under
stand the character or motives OF Japan
Our statesmen and politicians have preferred to think
Of Japan in terms of artistic studious and clever
people rather than of fanatcal treacherous
and grossly ambitious nation.
As Dee Holder says in an article in adjoining columns,
Americans as a whole were unable until attacked to
regard Japan an enemy.
In effect thrust kindness after kindness upon the
Japanese.
WYE FORCED them we thought for their good,
w to open their country to foreign intercourse.
We encouraged their study of our science our indus
try, finance and all national organizations We
gave them money gave them medicines.
Even on the brink of sold them oil and iron,
eoneoeted apologies for their Asatc aggressions
them unlimited opportunity to extend their espionage not
only inside our doors but alongside our navy.
MOT all Americans, however, were so naive
' The Hearst newspapers, to the loud dspleasure of
wlfuly purbnd international Polyannas for genera
ton have the potential of Japan toward
America.
Twenty years ago, Capt Richmond Pearson Hobson
created similar irritation and drew the criticism for
sounding the alarm against Japanese miitafism.
Pearl Harbor changed all that.
IT is comfort of be proved right under the
i circumstances.
But it is much less comfort to observe that residue
of the msconcepton remains, that the main weight of
effort is directed toward Europe and not toward
the of the gravest and most immediate menace,
which is japan.
The record is eloquent enough in material facts and
in proofs of intention.
We know that Japan's sing minded aim has
been to dominate and absorb all Asia and that logically
enough she considered the first step toward that goal
the subjugation and emascuation of America.
We know that complacent unpreparedness
has permitted Japan to conquer vast empire, enslave
millions of people almost mpregnabe position,
and make herself independent of the world in all the
materials and processes of
THESE facts all obvious enough The conclusion
is equally obvious, and well expressed in Mr.. Holders

Consolidation Of Enemy !:
Gains PeriIs Victory
BY DEE HOLDER
National Defense Chairman
Dent. of California, American Legion

Dept. of California, American Legion
THE people OF this country,
Il until the Japanese attacked.
were unable 10 regard Japan as
an enemy. We had strong eco
nomic ties with Japan and were
one of the greatest consumers of
her manufactured goods. The
kindly feeling of our people for
Japan was manifest in the con-
tributions made in this country
toward the relief of the victims
of the great japanese earth
quake.
We all knew vaguely that
Japanese militarists had great
imperialistic ambitions and had
sought for many years TO build
great strength of armament
and now and then a voice was
heard, such as that of Capt.
Richmond Pearson Hobson as
long as 20 years ago, warning
that Japanese militariSm was
aimed directly AZ the destruction
of the United States.
THESE warnings were re-
L garded as alarmist in char
acter and this country rested
secure in the belief that the
Japanese government and the
Japanese people had the same
kindly feeling for us that we
had for them. No adequate
preparation was made for a war
in the Pacific and precautions,
such as the fortification of Guam,
were neglected in order to fur
Their spirit of friendship be-
tween the two nations.
Even when Japan Joined the
Rome Berlin Axis few compre-
hended the real menace of this
step. The belief was general
that Japan's action had been
brought about by a jingoistic
military clique but that the gov
eminent of Japan and her
people would never tolerate an
attack upon the United States.
On DECEMBER 7. 1911. we
found how wrong we had
been but we were almost incap-
able of grasping it On that
very day one of our national
news commentators announced
over the air that he believed the
militarists had double-crossed
the Japanese government and
the Japanese people by attack
ing Pearl Harbor and that
there would be no war.
II is now clear that those who
feared and warned us against
japan were not alarmists and
that Japan. while extending the
hand Of friendship. had for years
been planning for just the thing
which she had done to us.
No one must discount the
seriousness of our problems in
Europe nor. underrate the effort
which must be put forth to
destroy Hitler, but neither, on
the other hand. can we allow
preoccupation with campaigns in
Europe and Africa to diminish
the effort to destroy the jap
anese war machine.

Memphis Democratic Boss
SqueIched F|ynn's Hopes
BY PAUL MALL0N

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The
W Bronx ex-boss, Edward ].
Flynn, withdrew from diplo-
matte career for many a reason
other than the one announced;
namely. that he wished to avoid
political fight, embarrassing to
President Roosevelt, in the
Senate.
The fight was over A close
tally by a competent senator
show the lineup against
Flynns confirmation TO be about
so TO 35, with II senator's ex-
pected to be absent on the roll
call.
Mr.. Flynn was defeated, not
by the Republicans, as he pub
hcly proclaimed, but by 10 to IA
Democratic senators.
These Democrats furnished
the margin of defeat.
THE timing of the announce
i ment of opposition by an
other Democratic city boss, Ed
Crump of Memphis, just a few
hours before Flynn backed out
has led TO a general assumption
that Mr.. Crump was the giant
killer.
The amazing fact that one city
boss wanted 10 take credit for
Staying another in the same
party has caused observers here
to look for other reasons. than
the moral ones which Mr.. Crump
stressed in a statement.
ONE story is that Mr.. Crump
~ had not been getting much
patronage out of the New Deal
for some time past.
But the one most generally
accepted is that Mr. Crump was
getting even for what the New
Dealers tried 10 do 10 his candi-
date, Senator Stewart. in the
last election.
A senator in a position 10
know says the Administrators
so-called "TVA group and other
Roosevelt followers in Tonnes
see put Mr.. Stewart about 49,
900 votes behind coming into
Memphis.
In short, the New Deal had
defeated Mr.. Crump in all Ten
nessee except in his home city.
There Senator Stewart en-
joyed such amazing popularity
or something-that he was able
TO amass a lead of $4,000 and
win the state as whole.
Mr.. Crump is now even for
that one.
MOST fearful pathos OF the
w whole event, however, lay
in the peculiar manner in which
Mr.. Flynn was even squeezed
into resigning as Democratic
national committeeman during
the Senate fight.
He had resigned as national
chairman and was proudly ac-
cepting the ambassadorship 10
Australia. but he did not intend
10 let his old conrade tnow
enemy, Jim Farley, get hands
on the important New York
committee post.
Farley's state com mittee
would name the successor. and
deep shudders would have run
down through the Bronx or
ganization.
Certain Democratic senators
here. however. professed great
interest in the Hatch Act. the
new law which attempts in a
restrained way TO keep public
office holders from holding po-
litical jobs on the side.
THE Flynn nomination as am
Il bassador was then in the
