JAPAN BLUNDERS

JAT AN DLUNDGNO
The full.dress report of the
long Pearl HarhCr investigation
confirms first impressions the
United States was not ready for
war on December Z. l941. The
inquiry brought out many inter
esting sidelights but has not
greatly changed the picture.
As political dynamite the in.
vestiRation has proved q dud.
Those who hoped to explo d .
President Roosevelt's reputation
by showing that he purposely
"baited" Japan with an unguard-
ed Pearl Harbor signslly failed
to produce evidence to support
their claim. And ne straining Of
Interpretation could make Cordeli
Hull rather than Hideki Toto the
sg2ressor.
The inquiry has brought to
light the fact that Washington
shared-as did the whole country
the mental unprepsredness for
which the field commanders
were blamed. And in some de-
gree it has justified the charge
that Washington should h ave
done more to alert the field COM
manders.
One point that deserves much
more study and discussion is Re-
preventative keefe's statement
that the American p eopl . and
even the commanders were not
aware of the lengths to which
American diplomacy had gone.
He says that since Tokyo and
London had both been assured
that the United States would 70
to war if Japan attacked Malays
or the Dutch Indies, Americans
also should have known. But
even those who did were SUP
prised.
For from a political standpoint
if not also militsriIy in the long
run-Pearl Harbor was a Jap
anese blunder. Anyone who can
recall the temper of American
opinion in 1941-far more arous-
ed against the Nazis than against
the Japanese-realizes t b it
would have been a long and diff
cult process to have united the
American people to go to war in
support of Britain or the Dltch
in the Pacific. How many Ameyi.
cans considered Malaga c. the
Indies worth a war?
If it was necessary quickly &c
unite Americans to fight, Pearl
Harbor was indispensable. But
those who claimed that because
of that fact President Roosevelt
plotted it, could not distort the
very evident surprise of the
President and his military ad.
visers. It was precisely because
there had been so little provoea.
ton that they were surprised.
Because they expected Japan to
be sane and avoid as long -
possible a clash with America
they were unprepared. 1t was
because Pearl Harbor was an ir-
rational blunder that it succeeded
temporarily. But basieally it was
a Japanese, not an American
blunder.-Christian 8 Science

COP Leaders Predict
Further Gains in 10
Midwestern States
By me Assoeiofsd Press

CHICAGO, Nov. s. Republican
leaders freely predicted further
gains today in 10 Midwestern States
where they now hold q 10l-to-31
margin over Democrats in congress
sional seats, and their statements
drew few Democratic counter
claims.
In the Central West-Ohio, Mich
igan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Wis
consin, Minnesota, Nebraska, North
Dakota and South Dakota-the Re-
publicans held an S3-to-D advan-
tage over the Democrats in the num-
Der Of Representatives In the House
In the Senate, the Republican mar
gin was IS to 2.
Today these States voted on q
complete slate of House members
and seven States balloted for Sena-
tors. The Republicans hoped to
capture as many as l6 of the House
seats now held by Democrats. Or
the other hand, the Democrats laid
claim to five additional places.
11A Oh IOSSAUtS l<AuuSuuCs
In Ohio and Indiana, Republican
leaders spoke privately OF the pos
sibility of landslide, which they
said would give them even more
seats than they dare predict pub
iicly.
OF the seven Senate seats being
disputed, six were held by Repub.
licans, and one by Democrat
James w. Huffman of Ohio, who
was appointed by Democratic Gov
Frank j. Lausche, to succeed Repub-
lican Harold H. Burton, resigned.
Senator Huffman was opposed by
former Gov. John w, Bricker, Re-
publican Vice Presidential nominee
in 1914.
Ohio Republicans hoped to hold
all their present II House seata
and take over four of the SIX now
held by Democrats.
Illinois COP Confident.
In Illinois, Republicans antici-
pated their greatest growth In
strength in Is years and hoped to
unseat several OF 10 Democratic
House members from districts In
Chicago, long . Democratic strong
hold controlled by Mayor Edward
j. Kelly. The Democrats, however
predicted they would hold their
strength and possibly gain three a
four seats downstate, which Is nor
mally Republican.
The two incumbent Democratic
House members in Wisconsin have
been vigorously opposed and there
was a possibility both might lose
their seats. In the 4th 0dilwaukee)
district. Thad Wasielewski, Demo
cratic incumbent, was drafted In the
primary by Edmund v. Bobrowicz
who had the indorsement OF the
CIO-PAC, and ran as m independ-
ent Democrat. In the three-way
fight, Republicans said their candi-
date, John Brophy. might win
through the Democratic split In the
normally Democratic district.
In Michigan, where Republican
Gov. Harry r. Kelly retired volun-
tarily, voters had . choice between
Kim sigler, Republican newcomer
to political wars, and . former Gov
ernor. Murray D. Van Wagner. who
was running with State ticket
heavily dotted with war veterans.

Bible WEEK THOUGHTS

every chd's right to be familiar with the Bible
Some day when we shall have outgrOwn religious
contentious and have ceased to identify religion with
bave sects and creeds shall get around to the very
important business of giving child the advantage of
developing his religious sentiment.
The great religious back of Western civilization is the
Bible. curious compound of history story, ethical
teaching and poetry 1t has itself into the very
fabric of culture.
It is safe to say that no man be called properly
educated unless he has studied the Bible because the main
idea in education for the child to be given the advan
tage of beginning where his parents left off, And the
Bible is much part of the worlds thought for past
centuries that it cannot be neglected.
All this quite apart from the question of whether
be Christians Jews or what not quite apart from
theories and cries. Whatever attitude toward
the Bible and it's teachings may be- cannot afford
be ignorant of them.
Honore Willsie, the distinguished author, who has
devoted much thought to the training of children de-
cares:
"There are many children who know more of Greek
mythology than of the God of their fathers is be-
coming and more commonplace nowadays not to
give children formal religious training Often they go
neither to Sunday school to church. and in in
Bible if they at ALL is only beautifully bound
book much covered with dust and Mother Goose is their
only GOd For all of it's rebeng the last thing that adol
desires is mental spiritual independence 1t
weordered and inevitable plan, and that all it's
belon will break eventually the trial of the undevi
ating march of things
There are some parents eager to give their chill
dren liberty anxious to let them choose their faith
that they forget the fact that child needs moral training
and inSpiraonal development than it needs
to have it's head stored with facts
Up to the present time other book in the world

KEEP OUT RODENTS

While frosts have brought the
growing season to an end in most
parts of Maryland, many root crops
are still out in the gardens. Before
they go into storage, along with pota-
toes, cabbage and other crops that
can be stored fresh, it may be well to
prepare the storage place to ward off
rats and mice and other rodents.
All ventilation openings into pits,
cellars or bank storages should be
screened with hardware cloth or
other grating, to revent entry of rats.
Now is the season when they are look
ing for a shelter for the winter, and
it is also wise to guard against their
vixen the storage spaces are left open
at night in order to cool off the air
within them to a suitable storage
temperature.
Since storage rooms for vegetables
and fruits stored fresh through the
winter are usually built in or near
the ground, tight masonry and wood
or metal walls are needed to keep
in storage, be sure not to leave doors
open and unattended, so that rodents
can sneak in. Just a few rats in the
stored food crops can do great deal
of damage, since they destroy much
more tEan they eat.

TURKEYS DO BETTER ALONE

Relative plenty in the turkey sup
ply this year is striking example of
the better and more scientific meth
DDS that have helped to boost food
production in recent years says the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
In the years following World War
|, turkey production declined rapidly,
and reached a low in 1927. This was
because of the growing hazard of tur-
key production. 1t was poor specu-
lation to feed young turkeys because
so many died from a variety of dis
ease, particularly from blackhead.
Investigation revealed that blackhead
affected chickens only lightly, but
was deadly to turkeys. The emphasis
in turkey protection was to keep tur-
keys and chickens apart. One result
was the growth of specialized turkey
production. Others were various steps
IN better management that also made
turkey growing safer. Keeping tur-
keys on summer range and away
from chickens and changing them
frequently to fresh range controlled
and damage from other poultry
parasites as we'll.
The results of this better manage
ment are reflected in figures of pro-
duction compiled since 1929 by the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics. In
1880 turkey production was zi6 mil
lion pounds. By 1910 this had more
than doubled to 4482 million pounds,
and by 1914 had gone up to SAT mil
lion pounds. In 1880 turkeys supplied
only 18 pounds of meat per capita. In
1910 the per capita supply had just
doubled at 36 pounds. The estimate
for this year is about 45 pounds per
capita, or practically two and one
times what it was in 1880.
A further stimulus to turkey pro-
duction and marketing has been the
breeding of smaller and better flesh
ed turkeys that are better adapted to
the ovens, the food budgets and tur-
key capacity of average families.
