WAR TO THE GRIM END

The Speaker of the Japanese House of
representatives recently advised a mass
meeting in Tokyo that Japan must utterly
destroy-the United States and Britain or
be destroyed
There is every prospect that the Jap
anese official spoke the solemn truth The
grim nature of the global war, as he said,
Twill permit no half-baked distinction be-
tween victor and vanquished.'
The people of the United States should
not overlook the fact that this country, and
the British, for many years exhibited tan
gible evidences of goodwill to the japanese
people-- The conflict that has resulted
springs not from Anglo-American aggres-
sion but from the brutal and treacherous at
tack launched by Tokyo war lords.
The statement of Takahido Okada,
japanese speaker, is interesting because he
admitsthat there is absolutely no room for
the coFxistence of Japan on one side and
Great Britain and the United States on the
other" and because he says that these two
countries represent cruelty and craft
ness in9arnate.' -

tempting to control Europe across the At
lantic and East Asia across the Pacific III

ism" In brief, action of extreme imperial

NAVAL WAR I'm HISTORY

Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox in
sists that there are eight fronts, not one,
in the present war. He lists the Western
Mediterranean, Eastern Mediterranean,
the Atlantic, the South Atlanth, South
Pacific, North Pacific, Russia andEhina.
Mr.. Knox says that on SIX of these
fronts the use of fleet is required and as
serts that this SIS the greatest naval war in
history go -
Mr.. Knox calls attention to- the fact
that, after the last war. we aveluntarily
strapped 100000 tons of the best ghting
ships built or building in the nlusory hope
that in disarmament there was security and
peace"
The nation now realizes, as Mr. Knox
asserts, what mistake that was" but
there is no certainty that the people of the
United States will not swing back to isola-
ton and foolish economy when the present
war ends.
1t is essential, if we are to have peace,
that the United States, along with other
United Nations, possess such fighting
strength as to serve effective notice upon
all aggressors that resort to war will be
fatal.

the kind of weekly cleanings her
grandmother gave it.
But Ann knew. She had watched
it done on several occasions. And
she would do it herself when she
had time to figure it out.
Now she was too distressed by
the events of the last twenty-four
hours to think of the cage.
She was not Grand Gussie's
granddaughter by adoption.
Neither was she heiress by will
unless a will could be found. It
looked as though Jerry Lane
would inherit the big house by
default.
Inherit the fake wei, too. That
was what troubled her. He'd sell
the house to MIR. Baxton's clients.
they'd discover the fraud and as
likely as not would sue him. Then
the whole secret would be out and
Grand Gussie would be disgraced.
Ann couldn't let that happen.
But she was letting it happen.
The idea that she might appeal
to Jerry's sense of fair play kept
nudging its way into her con-
seriousness but her pride rejected
it. 1t was too much like asking
favor of a conqueror.
Yet by morning she knew It
was the only way open to her.
She woulc appeal to him on a
sentimental basis to let her buy
Terrence House herself. If he was
sympathetic she might be able to
make some long time terms that
clerks salary could eventually
meet. Surely he'd be reasonable
in selling her a house that by all
rights should be hers in the first
place.
CHE was grateful her trunk had
" come from the station. She
selected jumper frock of gold
jersey with white satin blouse.
The blouse was trimmed In tiny
ruffies of lace. It was one of her
most fiattering costumes. Putting
it on she felt as might an accused
in court trying to win acquittal
by the use of feminine charms.
But she didn't care. If the gold
jersey would help soften Jerry's
heart as much the better.
With nervous fingers she reached
for the house phone and asked
TO- his room.
He answered promptly.

Ann was staggered. She had
known her grandmother's for
tunes changed with the discovery
of the mineral spring but not that
the mineral spring had been "dis-
covered" by the simple expedient
of inventing it.
Now, more than ever, she must
get Terrence House herself and
close it to the wealthy, idle guests
who paid to battle in and drink
from a spring that didn't exist.
But until then she'd keep the
spring going. She wouldn't let
Grand Gussie down.
She wouldn't let the town down
either. For no matter what her
grandmother had done she had
done it grandly and Ann would
preserve the legend.
She handed Gibbs a $40 bill.
