Crisis
Continued From page C-1)

Japan will then have almost nothing
to give to Russia to induce her to
60 on with the treaty. The danger
of a Japanese attack on Eastern ST.
IBERIA would be minimized by the
ability of Russia, relieved of her
military tasks in Europe, to fully re-
inforce her defenses there, plus the
inability of Japan to divert siz-
able portion Of her forces from the
ever mounting offensives OF her
enemy, especially the United States.
So to the Japanese today the ques-
ton must be: Will Russia denounce
the treaty, and if she does, will she
eventually declare war on Japan?
And to Russia the question must be: :
If she denounces the treaty and later
on goes to war against Japan, what
will she get out of it that she
wouldn't get by letting her allies II
the European struggle defeat Japan
without her aid.
Russia, pursuing realistically her
interests, may consider that the only
reason for her to declare war against
Japan either before or after the de-
feat of Germany are to help her
allies in return for the assistance
given her by them in her war
against Germany; and to clean out
the record for her defeat in 1905 by
Japan, considering it as the defeat
of the Russian people primarily, al
though they fought under the Gar
iSt regime.
These two reasons would be, or
should be, enough for Russia to go to
war against Japan. That war would
be popular among the Russian peo-
Pile. 1t would make Russia popular
among the peoples of Asia who con-
slider Japan as the worst militaristlc
and imperialistic nation in the
world.
There are several possible tempta-
tionS to Russia not to wage war
against Japan, and among them
are:
(a) A consciousness, describable as
eo-political, which may lead Rus
sia to expect that Japan after the
war may conceivably' decide to be-
come a constituent member OF the
U. S. S. R.;
(b) A certain racial feeling that
Russia. being generally considered
by Occidental nations as more Ash
attic than European, may, by declar-
ing war against an Asiatic nation
even If 1t be hated Japan, impair
a possible leadership that she might
assert, or be asked to assert, among
the one thousand million peoples
of Asia who are restless for new
international deals, and
(c) An acute awareness that all
her energies, after the war in Eu-
rope is ended, should be devoted to
the work of reconstruction Of Rus
sia, which will become relatively
stronger as her former allies get
weaker through continued exertions
in war.
However. taking all In all, it is
most probable that Russia will
brush aside all considerations ex-
cept the most fundamental one OF
cooperating with her Allies in the
European war to eliminate the law
less nations like Germany and ia
pan in Asia.

with the problem Of providing
shade, and II he thinks about it, a
framework and setting for the
house. Shade trees should enhance
the appearance Of the home by pro-
viding a setting or framework, as
it is commonly referred to. In
addition, the trees in the backyard
should give background. Properly
located trees thus provide more than
shade.
The owner Of wooded lot has a
different problem, namely, the Sc
lection of the better trees on his
lot and the removal of all others.
Most home owners think Of the cool
shade of a wooded lot and forget
that they need certain amount OF
sunshine around their homes. Also
trees need room to grow and de-
velop. Closely growing trees tend
to be tall and spindling. Even
small trees should be no closer than
IS or 20 feet while oaks, naples and
other spreading trees need 80 or 40
feet of space, if they are to thrive
and develop symmetrically.
There are many kinds OF trees
from which to select, most OF which
do well in this area. Some are
taller growing than others; some
grow rapidly while others are slow
growing and take many years to
make an appreciable showing. The
Siberian elm CUlmus pumila) Is one
of the most rapid growing. The
sweetgum is another rapid grower.
A widespreading tree, the ash, Is also
a rapid grower. The pin oak Is one
of the more rapid growing members
of the oak family. The naples ana
the American elm are rapid grow
ers. but their shallow root systems
preclude a lawn and hence they are
not often recommended.
willows and poplars are equally
Objectionable although for different
reasons. Both are shallow rooted
and tend to rob every flower bed in
the ward. In addition their roots IN
wade and stop up drainage tiles.
The willows are usually spoken OF as
dirty because they are always drop
ping dead twigs to litter the lawn.
The naples are nearly as bad In this
respect. The poplars Oombardy,
etc. are subject to serious disease
and seldom last many years
The tulip tree, common in this
area, is often spoken of as being
short lived. This is largely due to
the fact that they are easily injured
and diseases oftentimes enter
wounds causing rapid decay. When
healthy and given space in which
to grow they become very large and
live many years. The tulip scale
may attack the tulip tree weakening
it and increasing its susceptibility
to disease. This scale can be con-
trolled with dormant spray.
The sycamore or plane tree is an
other of the rather quick growing
trees that withstand city conditions
fairly well. However, of late it has
been troubled with a blight that
may defoliate it early in the sum-
mer. This blight can be controlled
by spraying although the trees seem
to be able to develop a second COW
ering of leaves and continue growth
without apparent injury.
For the smaller yards, the mi
mosa tree seems to be of value.
Other small sized trees are the fow-
ering crab, Towering cherry, silver
bell (Halesia). Amur maple, etc.
Most of the desirable small trees
provide bloom as well as shade.
In selecting trees for the yard it

 l. Juneau needs the library now and it will be many years before the city could undertake the con- ! struction of larger building hous- ! ing all city affairs.
 2. At least half if not all of the Z financial cost of the construction of such building would be met by subscription thus saving the city ? thousands of dollars.
 3. The maintenance cost of this single building would not greatly ex- ceed the maintenance cost of the library in larger building housing other offices
 4. It is inconvenient and i'm practicable to have a fire hall, its sleeping quarters, city administrative offices, jail and a library in the : same building.
 5. With the library as a separate unit the city could take advantage

 for Legislation
(Continued from Page One)

The President, who left the read ing of the message to Congress sional clerks, apparently because of it's length, renewed his request for continued drafting of men Is through 25 for two year periods. Such mductions are necessary, he said, to supplement the voluntary recruitment program to keep oc- cupational forces up to safe levels.
 The Chief Executive likewise re- iterated an appeal for legislation to extend unemployment compensa- tion coverage to federal workers and others not now covered and for federal contributions to provide temporary maximum weekly pay ments up to $25 a week for 26 weeks in every state
 Would Up Minimum Wage
 Asserting that the present Accent an hour minimum wage provided in the Fair Labor Standards Act has become obsolete the President recommended that it be substan-, italy increased.
 In appealing for continued war time powers to resist price and wage increase pressures, MT. Tru- man declared:
 "The American people are en- titled to firm assurance not only on the part of the administration, but from Congress itself, that rents and the price of clothing, food and other essentials will be held in line.

worked with DR.. Gregory Brett and
DR.. Merle A. Tuve of the Carnegie
Institute to determine the time
taken by the "echo" to return to the

the pulse" principle of ranging
which became the basis for all radar.
These experiments were described
in scientific papers published inter-
nationally. The Navy said that when
the British Technical Mission ar

to pool their radar developments
with those of this country, mem
bers credited these papers with the
independent British development OF
radar. German scientists undoubt-

this source, although their develop

in the war when Germany became
certain OF winning the war.
