WILL RUSSIA
ATTACK JAPAN?
THAT QUESTION WAS FREE
LY DISCUSSED IN WASH
INGToN TO-DAY

Thy Associated "ressy esis
WASHINGTON. May 2s.-
What is the prospect of Russia's
entering the war against Japan?
That question was discussed
here semi-officially today. The
conclusion was that, if the Allies
invade Europe and the Germans
are defeated, Russia likely will
declare war on Japan, but that if
the Russians do all the land fight
ing against the Germans, in an eff
fort to drive them back to their
own soil, the likelihood is that
Russia will not go to war against
Japan.
Conditions on the eastern front
and conditions in the European
theatre generally, it was said, will
nave much to do with the decision
the kremlin will make against the
Japanese.

CAREER OF EDsEL FORD


and most rapidly accumulated

which his name was a by-word,
was Edsel Bryant Ford, only child
of Henry and Clara Bryant Ford.
Appearing in public even less
frequently than did his father
who was noted for stunning the
spotlight, Edsel Ford was always
preserved, taciturn and aloof, SO

elder Ford might have to shed
these responsibilities, Edsel Ford
grew up apart from the ordinary
walks and activities of life.
At Is he was made vice presi-
dent of the Ford Motor company.
Three years later he became treas
urer. This was in 1921, the year
Wall Street unsucessfully sought
control of the Ford company. The
elder Ford probably could not
have selected time of greater
stress in which to test his sons
ability.
Edsel was not quite "a when the
United States entered the world

gaeed in the production of steel

of mass production of motorcars
to the manufacture of naval craft.
When the general drafts of the

ground that his presence at home
was essential to war industry.
