jolt 10 Japs' Pride
Seen in RooseveIt's
Promise Of Invasion
BY MORRIS J. HARRIS,
Chief of the former Associated Press
Bureau at SHANGHAI and Lonstime
Resident Of Japan,

bureau at SnanGhal ana Lonstlme
Resident Of Japan.
President Roosevelt,s statement
that Japan is to be occupied, sur
render or not, will jar that vain
country to its heels.
When Japan's proud overlords
hear this. they are going to be fit to
be tied, for they have always
thought Of themselves as masters.
Heretofore they have bowed to no
one. Japan has never been invaded,
much less occupied by a foe.
Strange things await that deluded
empire and it's going to take some
time for the sons of heaven to be-
come reconciled to them.
Believe Selves Invincible.
From the dawn of history their
folklore and books have been filled
with glowing accounts of thunder
ing successes against "barbarians"
who sought to invade the sacred
isles.
I'VE are invincible and the gods
stand with us when a foe dares cast
hostile eyes at our land of the Ris-
ing Sum-" is Japanese battle cry
centuries old.
This White House pronouncement
that our GI Joes are going to walk
over Tokyo will cause a greater ur-
heaval in the japanese mind than
did the great earthquake of 1923,
and that was something.
Defeat in battle is bad enough to
q japanese, something that is not
admitted. regardless of facts to the
contrary. But to have Americans
patrolling Tokyo's Gina (Japans
Michigan Boulevard. Fifth Avenue
or Market street,, well, Mr.. Roose-
velt's statement will shake the
sacred shrines at Ise in West japan
where lie the remains of all Japans
Emperors since the time of the Sun
Goddess and the beginning of the
empire.
Chinese May Take Hand.
To make matters worse for the
japanese peace of mind, it Is talked
around here more and more that
the Chinese are going to have q
hand in this occupation of Nippon.
And the Chinese are thinking
that way, too. Only a few days
ago Chungking leader said the
Chinese are willing to undertake
the expulsion of the Japanese from
China and occupation of Japan,
once they get the tools to work with.
Contrast that with japanese talk
for decades of their superiority over
the Chinese and their destiny" to
lead all Oriental peoples, if not the
whole world!

Chance 10 Kill Auto Use
Tax al This Session Seen
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
There's chance that the IS auto
mobile use tax can be repealed in
this session of Congress-, according
to Representative Compton, Repub-
lican, of Connecticut.
Mr.. Compton, sponsor of a bill to
repeal the annual levy, was op-
timiStic because he was informed
that the House Ways and Means
Committee is asking the Treasury
to report on the collections and
feasibility of the tax.
After the report is received Mr..
Compton said he intends to seek
public hearings, contending the
motorists themselves never were
given chance to be heard.

Dorothy Dix
Says

The constant complaint of old
people is that they are neglected:
nobody pays them attention, and
especially do they consider them
selves martyrs when their chill
dren do not want them to live
with them. 1t is true that the
elderly are often bitterly lonely,
but when this happens it is in
Variably their own fault. 1t is
because they have done nothing
to endear themselves to others.
For there is no other impulse
more deeply implanted in the
human heart than reverence for
age, and when old people fail to
receive the Difference that they
feel is due them it is because
they forfeited their right TO it by
their conduct.
But to be loved we must be
lovable. To be wanted we must
make ourselves desirable. And
this is cold, hard fact that the
old only too often ignore. They
think that age gives them the
privilege Of dispensing with all
the decencieS Of civilized society
and of making themselves as dis
agreeable as possible to all with
whom they come in contact.
Small wonder that such can
tankerous old people as these are
left to stew alone in their own
bitter juices and that no one
beats a path TO their doors to
try to cheer and amuSe them.
Small wonder that the children
of these parents do not want
father and mother to come and
live with them when they are
perfectly aware that the old
people would disrupt all the peace
and happiness of their homes.
We have to have our cards of
admission TO the party and if we
still get in after we are old. it is
because we have qualified for it.
We have been pleasant and
agreeable companions. We have
bound friends TO us by a thou
sand ties and little attentions
and kindlineSses, and we haven t
let ourselves get cranky and opin-
donated. So we are still asked
out to dinner, and often in our
70s are greater bellies than we
were when we were II.

Stunning Gown

Il don't know when I'll wear

Constance Moore, playing in
Show Business" but it was so
lovely, couldn't resist buying it,"
Of plum colored crepe, the
evening gown has a sweetheart
neckline, absolutely no back, and
shadow straps. The skin-tight
skirt, slit to the knee on the
right leg, is draped harem- like
in the front. Three print motifs
Of chartreuse and fuchsia, and
outlined with brilliants, are ap-
pliqued to the bodice.

Numerous ships built by the
North Carolina 'ShipEuilding Com

Charleston, commandant of the
Sixth Naval district, announced
yesterday.
In statement, following his ad-
dress at the launching of the first
AKA cargo vessel at he shipyard
here, Admiral James said:
We've been preparing for this
since Pearl Harbor. Nothing else
would finish the war within a rea.

fore we could conquer the other.

case, due to the efforts of we'll

Continuing, he asserted that

directly or indirectly, every one
built here, and commissioned, is
taking part in the invasion"
In his launching ceremony
speech, Admiral James pointed out
that IF England had fallen. it
would have meant that Canada and
all E1gland's dominions would
have gone down-and 1hey (the
Axis armies) would have been on
our borders"
He declared the Navy needs
these AKA's for their ability to
attack and attack again. and for
their cargo capacity and thei- sea-
worthiness.
Some day in the not too dis
tant future" Admiral James pre-
dicted, these very vessels will
nose into the sacred precincts of
Emperor Hirohito, their holds full
of the stuff that sends fighting men
on to victory. Some day those

done. will return to the land for
which they fight with grateful

L a need vast quantities of gasoline to
power their thousands of planes, tanks and
other battle equipment.
Today the war is using up gasoline four
times as fast as in 1912. Invasion needs may
use up vital fuel even faster.
This means that there may be even less
gasoline for use at home. You can help by
