reluctant to leave the enticing fish

no doubt that twas keen satisfac-
ton to him to get back into har-
ness again, especially since he was
called upon to do job he knew he
could do well. Whatever the pub
lie that showed him under in the
1882 elections may have said and
felt at that time, however glad the
Republicans were to edge him out
of politics, there were few who
would deny that he was success at
feeding the hungry during and after
World War I.
Ex-President
Inspires Press a& ff
It was really inspiring to hear
him. Not that Mr.. Hoover could ever
pull you out of your seat with frenetic
oratory or raise your emotions to a
fever heat with his personality. It
was, indeed, the matter-of-fact, al
most prosaic way in which he made
his appeal that gave it weight. We
were gathered in small hotel "par-
1or." It was crowded. We over
flowed the chairs and sat on tables
and in the window inches. Many of
us couldn't see him. Most of the
time could catch only a glimpse
of one fold in his generous pink neck.
He had the facts and the figures
all right = nine million tons of grain
alone were needed to prevent star
walton. At present there was only
enough good grain in sight to make
up go per cent Of the need, etc. But
he gave us more than facts as he
explained what America must do
and what he was sure Americans
would do. He gave us faith.
He tossed the idea of rationing
with cards out Of the window with
out even a gesture. He said the
American people would ration them
selves, said they would have done
it in the war that way too.
And when reporters asked ques-
tions with political implications he
refused even to discuss that phase
Of the subject. He was talking about
human beings, he said, about saw.

Whereas the Case bill had called
for 30-day cooling off periods and

| JAPAN:
Production

Severely crimped by u S. bomb
ings through the war, Japanese in
dustry Is making a Slow but steady
recovery under American military
direction despite difficulties created
by reduction of imports of material,
damaged plants and a riddled
transport system.
Showing willingness to rebuild
their once thriving economic ma
chine in accordance with democratic
principles laid down by General
Macarthur, the japanese have
made noteworthy progress in recon-
verting war production facilities to
peacetime output of farm machin-
cry, household utensils, marine en-
gines and parts for motor trucks.
At the same time, there has been
an increase in the manufacture of
consumer goods from stocks of raw
materials on hand.
In line with government encour-
agement, labor unions have been
springing up, especially in manufac-
turing, transportation and coal min
ing. While workers have been press
ing for better conditions and pay,
no strikes have been called.
Food
While the japanese production
outlook improved, the immediate
food situation caused grave concern,
leading General Macarthur to rec
ommend monthly imports of 10000
tons of wheat, rice and other COM
modities to avert starvation.
Much of the country's food
trouble has been attributed to farm
ers' withholding of substantial rice
tonnage from the market. On top
of the November harvest being one
of the worst in years because of
climatic conditions, producers have
shipped only So per cent of the rice
demanded by the government for
urban centers.
Besides hanging onto their rice,
farmers have withheld their meager
supplies of vegetables caused by
diversion of acreage to rice last
year Farmers have also been get
ting substantial amounts of sea-
food because fishermen have gone
to the rural areas to trade their
catch for more rice

PEARL HARBOR:
Late Testimony

In his long sought testimony to
the congressional Pearl Harbor in
vestigating committee, former Sec
retary of War Henry Stimson re-
vealed that President Roosevelt's
cabinet had overruled his proposal
for attacking Japan first late in No
vember, 1941, and rather decided
upon the dispatch of secret ap-
peal to the mikado.
Submitting a written statement to
the committee because Of inability
to personally testify on account Of
illness, Stimson said that he had
counselled action after learning of
Japanese movements southwark
off the Asiatic coast. High officials
in Washington were convinced that
Japanese expansion to the south
threatened the Philippines and ag-
gression against British and Dutch
holdings constituted menace to
u. S. security, he added.
Stimson also disclosed that the
U. S. had considered proposing a
three-month diplomatic truce to the
Japanese late in 1941 on condition
that the Nipponese would pull out
of China. While the truce might
have afforded additional time for
negotiation, Stimson said he feared
the Japs would have rejected it be-
cause of its stringent demands.

Of Interest To World
War II Veterans

In report submitted to Colonel
w. S. Shipman, Manager, Veterans
Administration, by w. F. Wheatlev
Chief, Vocational Rehabilitation and
Education Division, it was shown
that more than ten thousand appli-
cations for education and training
had been made by veterans through
January. Of this number, more than
four thousand were filed during the
month OF January. Of the more than
ten thousand applications field, all
veterans except about two thousand
have received their Certificates of
Eligibility and Entitlement.
In connection with these Certi-
ficates of Eligibility and Entitlement
veterans from all sections of the
State are writing in, calling in per-
son, and making long distance tele-
phone calls seeking information as
to where they can get training in
their desired occupations. These re-
quests cover range of many hun
dreds of occupations and professions.
The extremes of these requests for
| training can be illustrated by citing
the request for training as Beauty
Doctor and Deep Sea Diving. Many
firms or trade establishments like
wise are seeking information as to
how firms or business establishments
may be approved for training vet
erans. Personal interviews, tele-
phone calls, and letters are of such
volume that this newspaper is be-
ing called upon to render its serv-
ices to inform all veterans and 9TH
ers who are interested with refer
ence to this problem.
Public Law 346 provides that the
approval of all training agencies for
veterans shall be done by the State.

ing educational and other establish
ments whereby veterans may be
given the opportunity to secure
