COMMITTEE RACES

Most interesting 10 politicians
are the developments in both
parties over the choices for ma
tional committeeman.
Democratic National Commit
teeman Edmund c. Shields would
not run again next year except
that the one person cunning for
MIN is William Donnelly, Wayne
County chairman, it is reported.
Shields was elected over Don
nelly's opposition at Philadelphia
in 1886. They don't like each
other.
So, next year, Donnelly will be
candidate himself, and it looks
like Shields will refuse therefore
TO back away.
Republicans face an even more
interesting contest. The candidacy
OF National Committeeman Frank
Mckay another witt
be regarded as a gage of his
strength.
A lot of Republicans are talk
ing now about opposing Mckay
because he was tried and acquit-
ted Of an alleged liquor con-
spiracy But. when the delegation
assemblies at the national conven-
ton. he may he chosen for an
ether term without much oppoSi-
ton. Gov. Kelly is noncommittal
so far.

structure of subversion which
amounted TO nothing less than a
secret enemy state.

Though Matsuoka continues a
very sick man, suffering from

II may be recalled that Stain
in his Joy over the neutrality pact
with Japan kissed MatS1ska on

by Americans. made a last deSper-
ate attack and died almost TO the

wounded committed suicide, as an
epic of the Pacific war that eX-
emplifed the national saCrificial

Japan is drawing its belt tighter
than any country at war, with the
possible exception Of Russia.
II is wishful thinking on the
part OF Anglo-Americans in the
Far East who see in the present
severe rationing in Japan the fore
runner of an early collapse from
sheer hunger.
This belief is erroneous and mis-
leading.
The best informed neutralS say
there still are large stocks of food
in Japan and these stocks are
steadily being increased
There is said to be steady
trickle of food and other essen
