WASHINGTON, Mar. 26.-If
Representative John E. Rankin of
Mississippi hts his figures right,
there should no longer be any
wonder why Japan was prepared
to go to war against the United
States, nor why it has been able
to maintain about war for more
than a year
Since MIR Rankin claims only
that his figures came from con-
sular reports available to all gov
eminent agencies, including the
Army and Navy and from studies
made by lone of our leading uni
versities." the natural implication
is that lot of people must have
been asleep for long time in
failing to recognize the Japanese
menace.
As far back as 1885, for ex-
ample, Mr.. Rankin states that he
pointed out that 80 per cent of the
farmers of Japan had electricity,
while at that time rural electri-
fication had reached only 10 per
cent Of the farmers of this coun-
try Although the intervening
years have brought electricity to
40 per cent of American farm
homes, there's no reason to be-
lieve that it isn't almost universal
among Jap farmers today.
In 1914, says Mr.. Rankin, Japan
started undermining its industry,
and ten years ago the present rul-
ing military PARTY tossed out all
