BETTER HEALTH

EOR centuries people with

at spas. particularly in Eu-
rope. This type OF treatment
has not been employed 10 any
great extent IN this country.

Francis J. Scully OF Arkansas.
a program OF treatment by
physical measures such as heat
light, etc. carried out IN rest
ful surroundings is effective in
relieving pain, preventing de-
formities and improving the
general health Of patients with
arthritis.
He points out that when one
patient becomes aware that
other persons similarly affected
are gaining benefits from treat
ment n a spa, IL has a psyche
logical affect. The patient, be-
ing away from the cares Of
business and home, has a chance
for complete relaxation, the en-
joyTnent OF leisure outdoors and
has the opportunity TO build up
his body reserve OF energy.
nNE of the main forms of
" treatment employed is the
application Of heat either by hot
tub baths or mud baths. This
tends 10 improve the circulation
around the affected joints, in

heat can be applied nv infra-
red ray lamps or by the form
OF electrical treatment known
as diathermy. Active exercise
also can be carried out under
the supervision OF the physi-

WASHINGTON Scene

MR.. MICHAEL TODD, the
'l dignifed and erudite the
atricsl producer, has a sugges-
ton he would like 10 offer
Gen. Macarthur. II Hirohjto
proves intractible, put Bill
Robinson on the throne Of Japan
and crown him The Hot Mi
kado."
At first glance the suggestion
may seem frivolous but MIR.
Robinson would make one OF
the most acceptable Mikados IN
history. In addition 10 ruling
his peculiar subjects he could
also dance.
Mr. Robinson. you may recall,
played The Hot Miksdo" at
the New York Worlds Fair, an
exposition held in the Flushing
dumps just west Of Mayor La
Guardias hat. Mr.. Todd was
the king, or mikado-maker. in
the case and between them they
succeeded in maintaining a very
pleasant empire although there
was a lot of talk about slicing
off peoples heads.
The m k a do. meaning Mr..
Robinson, had a splendid royal
policy which would seem par
ticularly appropriate now. 1t
was embodied in a song which
Mr.. Robinson punctuated with
taps OF his talented feet:
Make the punishment 1T the
crime"

THE 10000 words Of report

ner minimize the central dis
grace of Pearl Harbor. which
is not that our ships were dam
aged and that the japanese
found us unprepared.
The disgrace must perrna-
nently be in the shamelessness of
the lies told to the American
people. There can be no excuse
for the lies.
The American people were
told that the Japanese COM
mitted a sneak attack on us.
The reports prove that this
country was amply warned that
war was imminent.
In fact, our great officials,
after the ultimatum OF Nov. n.
speculated on when IL would
happen, on Sunday or Monday.
With regard to this, the report
says:
"Next. the secretary Of war
(stimson) attended q meeting
at the White House. His diary
describes it:
"'Then at 12 o'clock 1 went
TO the White House, where We
were until nearly half past one.
At the meeting were Hull, Knox
Marshall, Stark and myself.
There the President brought
up the relationship with the
Japanese. He brought up the
event that we were likely to be
attacked perhaps as soon as
perhaps next Monday, for the
Japs are notorious for making
an attack without warning. and
the question was what we should
do. We conferred on the general
problem p"
FURTHERMORE, Gen. Mar
l. shall and Adm. Stark were
worried lest the ultimatum lead
TO war and wrote a memoran-
dunn warning the President that
the Americans are not ready.
Nothing is said about this TO the
American people, who at the
time were being propagandized
into participation in European
war and are being bluffed about
relations with Japan.

Agency says:
