War Fund Total

A total of $19, ,295 .45 has been re- ceived to date in the National War Fund campaign in Naugatuck, Hild- ing Olson, treasurer, announced to- day.
 l. is felt that the current politi- cal campaign may have had some effect on the slowness of the returns being made, and it is hoped that with the election out of the way, Naugatuck will respond to this drive and reach its goal of $25, ,580 before Nov. g.
 The seriousness of the fighting on every front can leave no doubt about the great need of the services provided by this money. This is one way that we can express our Thanksgiving for living in country like America and also make this ex- precision a valuable gift for our fighting men and women.
 Those who haven't given or who may wish to increase their contribu- tion are urged to do so at once to Hiding Olson in care of the Nauga- tuck Savings Bank.

 If Russia does not join the Allies against Japan we will be fighting Japan three more years and possi- bl. five, Charles Winthrop Copp who taught English in Japanese government schools for 20 years told the Naugatuck Woman's club Monday afternoon at the Futile Music Shed.
 We can and must bomb Japanese cities" to bring the war home to the Japanese people, he said, de- claring that the controlled Jap press has boasted for years of nothing but victories and until Japanese cities are bombed, the Niponese vii, not know they have been defeated
 The Japanese deserve to have the horrors of war brought home tc them because they have been ruth less in their own attacks on un- defended areas, he said. Allied bombings may stop them from de- siring war flor two or three genera tions,' he said.
 The six-inches height average that the average American has over the average Japanese is one cause for Japanese hatred of this country as it has bred in them an inferior ity complex, he asserted.
 MT. Copp urged that when Japar is conquered: The Allies nave the emperor broadcast that he has beer rescued by them from the power O. military clique; that the remainder of the military group be abolished; that loot be returned to lands con. quered by the Japanese; that em. peror order the people to cooperate with the democracieS and that the emperor If possible "de-God him. self"
