ton to her economic and industrial strength.
 Japanese Supplies and Production
 Today Japan has sufficient SUD- plies of all but few commodities in order to carry on long war.
 Unlike the industrial power of Germany which is within bomb ing range of the Allied Air Forces, the Japanese industrial strength is largely outside the present range of Allied bOmbers, and has thus far been only slightly impaired by Allied bombs.
 The Japanese food situation Is, On the whole, adequate to meet all her demands even though at some hardship to the subject pop ulation.
 How Strong Is the Jap Military?
 Japan has never experienced de- feat in war. Let the Allied ad- vance, let Japan give up slowly, piece by piece, the territory she has conquered. Let her desert her outer empire. At home there will still be an inner empire. As the armies fall back, even the pressure of supply problems will lessen. We will be fighting thousands of miles from home; and as we advance we will have to build or rebuild sup ply bases and construct supply routes. Japan on the other hand will be fighting in her own front yard. Her ships will no longer travel long and perilous routes. Her planes will no longer be spread over vast areas; they will be concentrated in the most effective spots. The outer empire, to be sure, will be done. But the outer empire and the men who garrison it are the Japanese expendables. The inner empire is the place to stand and fight.
 The Japanese Army
 At present Japan has approxi- mately 100000 men under arms. If she were hard-pressed, which she unfortunately is not at present, she could probably raise and equip an additional IS divisions within the next two years. Fur thermore, these divisions would be supplied from bases several thou sand miles nearer the front lines than those in the far-off United States.
 Not only is the numerical strength of the Japanese Air Force increasing, but the Japanese are producing newer and better types of aircraft.
 The Japanese Navy
 The chief function of the Jap- anese Navy has been to act as troop carrier or as troop and sup ply escort. The Japanese military think of fighting in terms of land action; the Navy has the irdepend- ently important function of pro- tecting home waters and commun- ications lines, but even so it is not expected to seek full-dress naval action. Rather it is expected to strike quickly, preferably at night, inflict enough damage to our plans, and to retire-relying on it's su- perior speed-before being exposed to too much danger. It is unlikely that anything short of very real threat to the home islands would bring it into action.
 In October, 1941 the strength of the Japanese Navy was as follows:

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, July 15-(R-It was
commission house trade in the
wheat market today with some of
the large firms buying the nearby
futures, apparently for comme--
cial interests. Hedging pressure
was relatively light and the vol
ume of trade was small.
September and July wheat clos
ed near the days highs. The de-
ferred contracts were firm but
held to fractionally smaller gains
by liquidation on the part of local
operators and one large house with
eastern connections.
A scattered demand for July
oats apparently resulted from the
belief that the July contract would
not be affected by any change in
ceiling prices.

STOCKS HOLD OWN.
i'm BRIEF SESSION !:

NEW YORK, July Is -tRG
Stocks just about held their own
in today's brief market after
week of indeterminate shuffling
which put many favorites in the
new high division and lowered
quotations for numerous leaders,
From Monday on it was a case
of mixed tendencies and dwindling
volume. The first session of the
week was the liveliest, topping
] 100000 shares. Activity waned in
each succeeding stretch with the
result that Fridays turnover just
exceed the million-share figure. = !;
Lack of any urgent selling was
cheering to analysts who were
predicting that, after a brief rest
ing spell, the forward march would
be resumed. One explanation for
the general letdown was the belief
that the lengthy drive to 7-year
peaks called for a technical cor-,
rection. At the same time, bids
we're forthcoming on the basis Of
continued good war news, business
prospects and political hopefulness.
Important development of the
week was the Presidents disclos-
ure that he would accept a forth
term. Markets, though, were lit
tie affected owing to the fact the
announcement was in line with ex.
pectations. Some early liquidation
was blamed on the Washington re-
conversion dispute but a subse.
quent compromise here failed to
spur purchasers. .-.'r

G. I. SENTIMENT
Much speculation has taken
place as to the sentiments Of
the servicemen regarding the
coming presidential election.
Frankly, from ten days OBJ
servation, since my induction
into the Army, l can only feel
that the vast majority of Serv-
icemen are cognizant of one
thing, and one thing only, and
that is that there is a war 60
ing on and that they must
practically eat, sleep, and live
ARMY" until that war has
ended.
Too many of the boys are
entirely disinterested in the
coming election. They do not
agitate discussions on politics,
but they do have opinions on
the presidential issue, more so
than on the gubernatorial or
local contests.
Those who are drawn out
on the subject favor Roosevelt,
but the sad part of it is
that the vast majority of them
have not bothered to send for
absentee voters ballots.

The Journal Grows

Decision of 1000 members of the
United Retail and Wholesale Workers.
CIO, to subscribe to the TOLEDO UNION
JOURNAL is a greater tribute TO this
paper than mere words, for ii is a prac-
tical demonstration of the faith and conf
dence which this great union places in
Northwestern 0hio's largest labor paper.
1t has been a matter of policy from the
very first issue of the JOURNAL, down to
the present time, to aid the various Inter-
national Unions affiliated with the CIO in
Toledo, policy which we believe has
been of value to those Unions which have
had occasion to seek the aid of the
JOURNAL.
We are complimented by the increase
of 5000 new subscribers who, together
with the subscribers constantly being
added, brings the circulation of this paper
to approximately $4,000 at the present
time.
Officers and members of the United
Retail and Wholesale Workers recognize
the value ami desirabiiity of strong labor
press. They have demonstrated their
desire to maintain such press by giving
it practical support

FOLLOW THROUGH

A good job has been done in getting our
people registered. Now we must follow
through to see that liberal and progressive
people get elected to office in the coming
election.
Great sacrifices have gone into the build
ing of the CIO. If we intend to save the gains
we have made in the last twelve years and go
forward to full employment and adequate
Social Security for all, we must put the same
effort into the public elections that we have
put into the building of our Union.
On Nov 6, 1914 there will be a Victory
parade sponsored by the PAC. For many
years the workers have not taken as active
q part they should have in public elections
The results of this indifference on the part of
workers who comprise the majority of the
population has been tragic.
Even when we succeed in electing liberal
President, he has been compelled to work with
a Congress which for the most part was elected
by the most conservative elements of the
population.
Now once again comes the Presidential
election and the opportunity to reelect the
President who has shown by his record that
he can do more to establish full employment
and just and lasting peace than his opponent
either could or would
HE MUST BE ELECTED
We must elect progressive and liberal
Congress.
We now have an opportunity to display
our political strength. If the Tofchlight Parade
were to be poorly attended either by partici-
pants or spectators, it would be better not to
have it at all. Not to have the parade would
be missing an opportunity to show our
strength.
We must have the parade and it must be
successful Every member of the PAC is urged
to attend the general membership meeting
which will be held IN Local IL Hall on Nov. 2,
1914 to arrange the details of this Torchligkt
Parade.
The Importance of winning this years elec-
ton cannot be overeStimated.
When the CIO of Toledo gets behind pro-
gram it is difficult to defeat it. Let us resolve
to make success of the Torchlight Parade and
do everything possible to see that our people
VOTE in this years election.
This is a very important step in bringing
to realization the Unions program for full en-
ployment and an adequate social security in
the postwar world.

may use the letter as you see
fit.

Hon. Fred E. Busbey,

Dear Sir:
l received your card asking
If l had registered to vote.
Yes, as a disgruntled Repub-
lican, / have registered and
intend to vote the Democratic
ticket, because | don't like
your method of campaigning.
l have heard of certain con-
gressmen abusing the use of
the mail, and your card proves
it to me. ! am wondering
how many thousands dollars
of taxpayers money you have
used in smearing people who
do not agree with you po-
litically.
1t arouSes my ire when /
think of the way you have
duped the people in your dis
trict and are now trying the
same tactics elsewhere. Evil
IDENTIFY you think everyone as
gullible as the voters who put
you in office. You are mis-
taken. Maybe, your people
have changed their minds too.
If | choose to vote the DEM
ocratic ticket with Sidney
Hillman, in my estimation its
not half as bad as voting along
with Gerald l.. K. Smith,
Westbrook Pegler, Ham Fish,
Clare Hoffman and the other
labor batting class haters who
are in the same camp with
you.
Just why are you so con-
cerned about labor? Could it
be that whether we are Re
publican or Democratic we
are about to proclaim our
equity in national affairs.
Could it be that Sidney Hill
man proposed both Republi-
cans and Democratic workers
solution? Is this why, Mr..
Fred Busbey is so anxious to
denounce Mr.. Hillman and try
and swing labor away from
progressive government?
Never fear, Mr.. Busbey, I'll
be at the polls on election day.
