 In our final diagnosis we con- clude that MT. Tojo is the vic- tim of a bad case of MacAr- thuritis and chronic Aussie-in- toxication.
 Our clinic regrets that MT. Tojo is not available for inn mediate surgery. Since this is impossible by remote control, we can suggest only one treat ment in which favorable re- suits are certain. That meth cd calls for liberal doses of nitroglycerine pills. It is powerful drug, and a slight overdoseage would cause him to go to pieces. Here's hop ing!

 It is interesting to note MT. Tojo suffered painful attacks in his Guadalcanal, and con- BtrictiOns in his Midway. The sinking spells" in his supply line are not without signifi- canoe; likewise, the Hull lodged in the diplomatic channel
