Moscow-To Tokyo Crisis Nears

defeat her enemy while Japan will not
defeat hers. but, rather, will be defeated
1t stands to reason that, as Japan's war
Is going increasingly against her, her
interest in being at peace with Russia
becomes stronger, while Russia's need for
the treaty becomes less and less.
Thus it Is plain that the respective
inducements and considerations origi-
nally supporting the treaty have become
unbalanced in favor of Japan. In other
words, Japan today has much more rea-
son to continue the treaty than has
Russia. So, II the treaty were to be
negotiated at present, Japan would have
to give more to Russia than she did
when they signed it in 1941. This is one
reason why, II the treaty Is to be con-
tinued, Russia would have the right to
ask Japan to balance up its induce
ments and considerations.
In this situation, the possibility is
presented that II Russia shows reluc-
tance to continuing the treaty, Japan In
desperation might offer her Manchuria
OE hoIca, O1 Uotlis 90 aA AAuuccnucut.
But Russia can only accept the offer by
diregarding the Cairo Declaration un-
der which President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill promised to return Of
Manchuria to China and to make Korea
m independent nation. It Is relevant
to state here that Russia Is not 4 party
to that Declaration.
Russiap position vis-a-vis Japan on
the continuation Of the treaty is obvi-
o1sly strong, but It will be infinitely
stronger after the defeat Of Germany.

In few weeks Russia and Japan will
decide whether they will give notice to
each other to denounce their mutual
nonaggression treaty which they signed
in 1941 and which will expire one year
after one Of the parties has denounced
it. A denunciatory notice given by Rus
sia would be Of momentous importance
because 1t would presage her belliger-
ency against Japan. In other words, in
such case Russia may be expected to
go to war with Japan.
The original reason for the treaty is
plain enough. Japan was expecting .
war In the Pacific and she wanted Rus
sia not to join her enemy and expose
her TO attacks from Eastern Siberia.
Russia also was expecting war In Eu-
rope and she didn't want Japan to be
With her enemy and attack her on the
same territory.
Since the treaty came into effect both
countries entered the wars that they
expected. The treaty worked success
fully. The parties remained ct peace
with each other to their respective adj
vantage.
But today their respective positions
have changed. Il Japan defeats her
enemy and Russia doesn't heIs, Japan
will have no more reason to continue
the treaty, while Russia win have =
stronger reason than originally to do 20.
The reverse would b true Il, on the con-
trary, Russia defeats her enemy and
Japan doesn't hers.

Also at this school new radiation and piping has been installed by the M, J. Daly company at a cost of $9,6l8, The same firm is also installing new hand-fired grate in the Crosby high school boilers at q cost of $l5,9S7 and two new boilers at Washington school at a figure of $l0,lS4.
 Recently @ new grid flooring was built into the Washington avenue bridge across the Naugatuck river by the Daddona Construction CO, Cost of this work was $l2,920 which does not include the cost of the girding nor the steel beams used as supports. The city bought those directly from the manufac- total cost of this project to approxi- turer at a figure, which brings the mately $2o0oo.
 The Daddona Construction Co.,, is also doing grading and oiling work at Walsh school, the contract call Ing for $4,797. Similar work at Driges school was likewise awarded to the Daddona firm at figure of $5, 985, Recently awarded to the same firm was the contract for the new tool shed at the City Yards at cost of SIS 863.

The original piping In the City Hall, Police and Fire Department has never been re- placed and of recent years 1t was apparent that complete job of re- piping was necessary in order to continue adequate water service throughout the municipal building.

Catholic Information He Proved His
 Divinity!

If Christ had not risen on the third day. He would not have ful- filled the prophecies, He would not have kept His promise, He would not have proved His Godhead-and on the fourth day Christianity would have been dead and forever buried.
 He had to rise from the dead! And He did. On the third day the doubly-guarded tomb was empty and then He, whom they had seen dead on the cross, appeared to hun dreds during the next forty days talked with them. ate with them, and finally, before their eyes, as- cended into Heaven.
 Tn those days nobody doubted that He had risen. The enemies of Christ dared not deny 1t, The Apos- ties by preaching 1t converted 5000 in two days, and they and their successors established the Church throughout the entire civilized world in three centuries.
 Today the unbiased must accept these things as historic facts. The Resurrection is told and retold by the most attacked, and therefore most proved, history of all times the Scriptures. It Is attested also by the non-christian historian of the first century, Flavius Josephus, who, in reporting Christ's death and burial, says, He appeared alive aralV, fha fbipd Iau
 The humanly-impossible conver- sion of the pagan world from its cult of pride, hate, greed, and lust, to the religion of humility. love, self -denial, and chastity, is written down by accepted pagan historians of those centuries. And reason tells us that this would not have been and could not have been, had not Christ risen from the dead to prove His Godhead.
 Easter is the Feast of the Res urrection - the Feast of the proof that Christ is God and His religion divine. A glorious day, a joyous day, a vital day for him who has his creed secured by fact as well as faith!
 Facts! The Christians of the early centuries had them and used them to convert the world. Chris tians of today have these self-same facts which, if used in the same way, would put to flight the false prophets of whom Christ warned, and finally bring this world of ours back to the feet of Him who rose fran the dead to prove Himself the Way, the Truth, and the Life for every man.
