This startling revelation was re-
ported this week by Lindsay Par
rott, New York Times correspondent
in Tokyo.
This theory Is being advanced
by some Japanese agricultural ex-
perts who base a series of bumper
rice crops since 1945 which that
nation has enjoyed and has hid
den or has failed 10 report for
their calculation.
Japan is now IN position to
feed herself, despite the repeated
requests for about 100000 tons an
nually of imported foodstuffs fur
nished largely by United States re-
lief funds" PARROT summarized.
While the theory is only minority
one, not being affirmed by either
japanese or Occupational sources,
it has reached the point of being
publicly aired in the Tokyo press.
Agricultural experts in Japan have
predicted a harvest of 100 million
"koku' az billion bushels. On the
basis of the traditional thumb rule
of one "koku" of rice or substitutes
for one person per year. there is a
surplus of 20 million "koku".
II should be pointed out that
the recent typnOOns may nave
destroyed 2 million "kOlu", al
though Japanese estimates are
usually inaccurate. Parrot reports.
japanese still display deep con-
Germ over the food situation. How
ever. they frequently refuse" food
packages from CARE CONSOLIDATED
Agencies for Relief in the East and
ask for items like textiles, wooden
thread, and knitting needles.
Whether or not Japan now is
able to feed herself, 1t is unques-
tionable that the fod problem has
receded into the distant background,
concluded Parrot.

Try This Stuff
To Grow Taller

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Oct. l.
A mysterious growth chemical
might be able to make six-footers
out of the Japanese, Chinese and
other Orientals, scientist specula-
ted. according to the Associated
Press.
The growth substance is a mix
ture Of several potent vitamins or
things like vitamins. II is called
the animal protein factor or APE
complex for short.
1t is found in meats, fish meal,
yeast, and dried skim milk, and now
is also being made alphabetically.
The possibility that APP might
make Oriental people grow taller was
advanced by DR.. Stefan Ansbacher,
director of the W-D-Co.,
M arion, Ohio, speaking before the
Chemical Society.
Orientals, unlike the taller west
ern races, usually eat foods that
contain little or no proteins OBJ
tanned from animals, he said.
"Will it be possible to increase
their height by incorporating the
APP complex vitamins in their diet?
The answer may well be yes.
"Can you visualize what will hap
pen to them, their customs, their
mode of living?"

Looking Ahead
By GEORGE s. BENSON
OUR AMERICAN HERITAGE

America, like the rest of the world
is passing through a great transition
Whereas for a generation we have
concentrated upon stability and
have sought for means to avoid
another depression, the time has
now arrived when attention is be-
ginning to focus upon production
upon dynamic economy of plenty
There are reasons to believe that
within 80 years our national income
may increase to $500 billion annual
ly; that the purchasing power OF
the workman's wages may double.
There are also reasons for believing
that our national income might de-
crease to $3.50 billion a year, that
the purchasing power of the work.
mans wages might decrease by SO
per cent and that the standard OF
living for the entire nation might &C
down so per cent below today's leve!
within 20 years.
Which Way, America?
Whether this nation moves on tc
a higher national income, to higher
purchasing power of the workman's
wages. shorter hours, in an economy
of plenty; or whether we move tc
the lower income, the lower purchaS-
ing power of wages and the lower
standard of living for the entire
nation depends upon what we dc
with our present American heritage
This heritage does not consist Of
our wide fields, our fertile plains
our cities our bank accounts, our
coal, iron, oil, gas and ether natural
resources. There are ether nations
that have resources in equal guam
tity and Russia has two times our
quantity. Our heritage, which is uni
que to America alone, is our unpar-
alleled productive system.
The Richest Land
Without being aware of what was
actually happening and without GEN.
trail direction, America has achieved
a man hour productivity two times
as high as that enjoyed in the best
countries of Europe, such as Eng
land, Sweden and Switzerland. We
have man hour productivity about
five times as high as that now pre-
vaiiing in Russia and 10 to 20 times
as high as that prevailing in most
of the Orient.
1t is a statistical fact that an
American workman can buy with
his wages two times as much in
food, clothing, housing, transporta-
ton, entertainment and education
for his children as a workman at a
similar job in the best countries OF
Europe and five times as much as IN
Russia. 1t is also a statistical fact
that our national income is equal
to the national income of the next
six highest countries 1t is likewise
a fact that we send more young
