Japan Menaces U. S.
Civilization, Religion

AiVIIIZdtlOny NGISlOn
THE article appearing this page by William
i Haughton confirms an opinion often and forcbly
expressed by the Hearst newspapers An opinion based
painfully obvious facts that has never been confuted
and which to ignore is wilfully dangerous.
America must realize that Japan is greatest
menace 1t is menace only politically and miltary
but racial menace to civilization and re-
ligon menace to social organization and to our
standards of living
The war in the Orient is Of totally different charac
ter than the in Europe.
Bad the situation is in Europe, the war there is
between European Occidental nations between white
Antagonisms hareds and Jealousies no matter
how violent obscure the fact that the warning
nations of Europe stem from common racial, cultural
linguistic and social roots.
1t is family fight, in which the possibility of ult
mate agreement and constructive harmony has not been
dismissed even by the most determined opponents.
WHATEVER side wins-and it is obvious that
w forces are going to win-Occdental civilization is
going to be maintained and will still progress.
But in Japan we have an enemy who shares nothing
with us An enemy of whom have not the slightest
influence in speech language culture, religion
blood An enemy of unexampled ferocty and greed.
An enemy who detess and everything about us with
fanatical passion.
An enemy, furthermore, who so far has been COM
pletey successful and whose avowed intention is to de-
stroy us, literally and completely.
If Japan wins this war in the Pacific-and we sur
Vve-there will be perpetual between Oriental ideals
and Occidental ideals.
It will be between ruthless aggressors in
mand of soldiers resources better positions
and an netngushabe savagery and Occidental peoples
of inferior numbers and weakened by years of
fratrcda conflict
Wherever Japan wins-and she has great deal
aready-she will install Oriental customs and systems
and standards of living Oriental civilization and religion
1t is thus clearly duty Americans to do our
best to prevent this and to establish far
the Pacific Ocean American sea- and allow it
become Japanese sea, dominated by Japan and with
Oriental influences reaching to very doors. -
WYE not doing this Our forces in the Pacific
wv small scattered and badly supplied
We are even taking away soldiers and equipment
from Australia New Zealand and the Western United
States and shipping them to the European front.
We inviting possible disaster and certainly
guaranteeing the proongation of arduous and costly
struggle.
We have known the evils of japanese immigration
and the tendencies of that immigration to debase our
standards of living But those influences nothing
to the destructive influences of Oriental nation like
Japan, should she be in position to impose her customs
and standards upon all the people that border upon HER
Pacific Ocean.
Let fight for the protection of the Pacific Coast
and for the American conquest of the Pacific Ocean,
realize that shall be doing the greatest work that
be done for all America and all the world

T1NWANTED hair, or hair in
the wrong places, or hair
on the wrong sex creates in some
instances a tragedy out of all
proportion to its seeming impor-
lance.
People vary widely in their
mental reactions TO these disfg-
urements.
AS / move on into the great
climacteric of middle age. / find
that l have hair sprouting from
my ears and my nose and vari-
Gus other places where il never
sprouted before.
l do not mind this very much
because / am not thinking of
having a coming-out party and
my pursuit OF the fair sex has
slowed down TO a stroll.
I JUST have the barber cut off
4 the hair where il tickles and

But this attitude is not shared
by the sweet young thing who is

A T THE time of Napoleons
"A retreat from Moscow the
Russian army was controlled by
a Scotsman named Barclay.
1t was Barclay who planned
the campaign that resulted in
Napoleon's humiliation.
The plan currently used by
the Russians TO rout the Nazi
forces bears a striking SINH
larity to the one originated by
the brilliant Scotsman afore-
mentioned.
Cecil B. De Mile should
make a modern version of his
great success of yesteryear

Or perhaps in the interests OF
improving the divorce situation
he should make one titled:

Since so many women have
been receiving their own pay
checks there seems 10 be quite
a rush on the part of many
young women TO discard or

How long would il take one
man to count 100000, 000,0 900

A--Working an 8-hour day it
would take about 5000 years.
That is for a very fast

Q-Who was the best short

A-That would be Andrew

He made about $3.50, 1000, 900
and gave nearly all of it away.
Q-Is it possible for a woman
TO have children born Is years

A--The experts say it is pos
sible for a woman 10 have chill

He performed, at times, as
many as three major operations

No matter what the time Of
day or night this doctor never
failed to respond to a request
for aid.
And so what?
Most of his patients wouldn't
pay their bills and he had to give
up his country practice because
he went broke.
He is now a city doctor and il
prospecting because his current
patients pay their bills.

among the Republicans for the
election.
A curious situation, indeed.
AS a rule, there are numer-
Gus prospects around on both
sides for at least a couple Of
years before post time.
You practically can write your
own ticket on a guess at the
nomination on either side, out
side of President Roosevelt.
The Republican who is being
most discussed by the political
experts is Bricker of Ohio, but
he is little known to the country
at large-much less so than
Dewey or Willkie.
DEWEY would be the shortest
~ price had he not scratched
out of the race.
Willkie would have to re-
enact his miracle of Philadel-

pricemakers as so improbable
that you can get a real nice

My Heart Rode

WE WALKED down the field,
w. stepping in a puddle here
and there, banging our toes
against frozen clods.
After nearly a mile OF this we
came TO the planes huddled to-
gether like shivering birds.
The sun had come up a bit
and we could see the crews gath
cred under the wings of the
planes, smoking. talking. fasten-
ing chutes and voting sand
wiches.
There wasn't as much tension

relaxed as il duel with death

They clambered into the

sengers at LaGuardia Airport
headed for a trip 10 Washington,
Chicago or Miami.
The motors started really
roaring.
The ground shook.
The four-motored monsters
readied themselves for the take
off.
Then came an unseen signal
from the control tower.
They started moving down
the runway into the biting
winds.
They followed one another at
30-second intervals.
IT WAS then that I realized
Il just how cruel and callous
the whole business of war is.
To a Bomber Command this
is necessarily just a routine
business.
Just so many bombers going

Just so many serial numbers.
