 WASHINGTON-Senator Langer of North Dakota has written a scorching letter to Secretary of War Stimson criticizing the Army's Secrecy in connection with Jap balloons in the west and asking whether innocent persons have been killed, and if so, whether this was what finally caused the War Department to lift it's censorship ban.
 Last January the North Dakota Senator addressed letter to Stimson calling his attention to the arrival of Japanese balloons in the Northwest, and asking Stimson that the American public be mo- tified in order to be on the alert regarding them.
 Long experience" Langer told the Secretary of War, has shown that the people, when aware of any danger, are the first to help the armed services guard against it."
 However, Stimson sent an officer to see Langer and pleaded with him not to say anything about the balloons. Langer finally yielded.
 Langer now takes the view that the War Departments policy of secrecy is mere face-saving, and the public should have been warned long ago to look out for these balloons.
 There is no need to tell the enemy the exact location where che balloons drop so that they can measure the drift of air currents, Langer told Stimson five months ago. That can easily be kept quiet. But it is important that the public be warned to look out for the balloons and report them to the proper authorities"
 Meanwhile, all sorts Of Welrd re- ports have spread through the west as result of these balloons; and at one time the schools in one big city were nearly disrupted by ex- aggerated rumors.
 Actually, there is nothing very mysterious about the balloons. They are believed primarily aimed to set fire to western forests. Several months ago, when they first started coming over, it was rainy, and the rainy season has continued all winter. With approaching summer

China, Self Sufficient
Outside of being a little short on
oil China has practically all the essen
tial raw material needed for well
balanced national economy providing
the political situation would allow it.
1t has been Chinas misfortune, in the
past and at present, to be governed
by war-lords and selfish administra-
tors with a total disregard for the
general welfare.
A case in point is how the commun-
lists in Kwangsi province in 1889 were
driven 1000 miles into Shensi pro-
vince with a loss of more than 500
of their 10000 in round numbers. The
Nationalist government under the d.
rection of Kai-shek used a million
troops and spent millions taels trying
to exterminate the Chinese commun-
lists and paradoxical, as it seems, these
Chinese Reds saved the Nationalist
forces fleeing out of Shanghai in 1887
from being surrounded by Japanese
troops and now, under the name of
the 4th and Sth Route Liberation
armies have liberated a tract along
South China coast with a population
of more than 80 million inhabitants,
about to invest the city of Canton in

The Red troops are, to a large ex-

the newspapers and pamphlets put
out by his union.
O. Union members when driving in
the country and stopping at farm
houses to buy eggs or fruit should
introduce themselves to the farmer
and his family by saying, I'm John
Jones of such and such union. It's
a fact that many farmers think union
members are sinister creatures and
quite different from themselves.
g. Local unions should make point
of arranging with county agents or
representatives of the Farmers Union
or Grange or Farm Bureau to set up
meetings in rural centers, where farm
ers and workers can meet and talk
over mutual problems.
Such meetings might be social occa-
sions, like picnics, or they might be
forums or other more formal and bust
ness-like discussion meetings.
