BIG DAY FOB NEWS MEN Twenty newspaper men leaned forward around the long blue baize table In the ante-roo- of the secre-tary of state. At the extreme end stood tall, austere acting secretary, Sumner Welles. On his face was an expression of grim-llppc- d Intensity. In his hand was a typewritten state-meri- t. He read it aloud. It was a scathing, carefully worded blast against Japan. At the opposite end of the table stood three Japanese news men, short, affable, eager. For months and years they had been attending press conferences, given the same privileges as any American newt men. For months also they had waited for some such bombshell. Now it came. One split second after Welles fln-- j ished reading his statement, the Japanese were out the door, pat-tering down the marble corridor to the press room telephones. It was a big day for Japanese news men. Finally Ickea Wins. It was also a big day for certain! members of the Roosevelt cabinet. For months and years they also had been waiting. For months and years also they had been urging Roosevelt to embargo oil shipments to Japan. At a cabinet meeting Just before Japan moved, Secretary Ickes, as new oil administrator, raised the em-bargo question again. He proposed to stop oil shipments to Japan. But the acting secretary of state said no. Japan, he said, was going to make a move toward Indo-Chin- a and it would be wiser to wait. Once before, Icfces had stopped a shipment of oil to Japan and aroused the wrath of the state department. Last June a Philadelphia manufac-turer complained to him that a Jap-anese ship was loading 240,000 gal-lons of lubricating oil. "I can't get oil myself to speed up my own defense orders," wrote the manufacturer, "and yet I see in front of my nose this shipment of oil going to Japan. To hell with defense, if the government Is as screwy as that." So Ickes called the coast guard and asked them to act before the oil was loaded. They did. Then things began to boil. It did not leak out at the time, but the state department complained to the White House that Ickes' action had interfered with the policy of appeas-ing Japan so she would not go south to the Dutch East Indies. However, Ickes held his ground. He Insisted that he was not med-dling in foreign policy, but that it was nonsense to ration oil and gas on the Atlantic seaboard and at the same time let Japan ship oil away from the Atlantic seaboard. In the end Ickes won. Bombard Tokyo. Naval strategists make no secret as to what they would do to curb Japan. They consider it foolhardy and suicide to send a lot of U. S. warships across the vast expanse of ccean to Singapore or the Dutch East Indies. They figure we are going to get Into the war anyway, and it is good strategy to deal knockout blows in the very first round. They favor sending waves of U. S. bombers from the Philippines to raze the paper and bamboo cities of Tokyo, Yokohama, Kobe and Osaka. They also favor sending the fleet, plus airplane carriers to the coast of Ja-pan. They favor doing this immediate-ly. There Is no use, say the navy men, of punching at a man's legs when you can strike for his heart. CLOSING PANAMA TO JAPAN Secretary Stimson was telling the absolute truth when he denied that the discovery of a time-bom- b was responsible for keeping 10 Japanese ships out of the Panama canal. For this was not the reason. Real reason why the canal was barred to the Japanese was the dis-covery that two of their ships were floating bazars being rushed to the east coast of South America to grab off the trade which Axis operators were forced to abandon as a result of the U. S. blacklist. Apparently the Japs had a tip that the blacklist was going to be issued, because the two ships hasti-ly left the west coast and were wait-ing to go through the canal, when suddenly the blacklist was published. Equipped with elaborate merchan-dizing displays, and carrying high- - powered, Spanish-speakin- g sales-men, the ships were literal arsenals of economic warfare. With them, the Japanese would have invaded the most lucrative markets in Latin America before either the U. S. or the Latin Americans could have moved to block.t.he.m. MERRY-GO-ROUN-U.

WHAT AMERICA needs now and for the future is more production. More production should start on the farms. It should supply for us those farm products we are now Import-ing to the extent of a billion and one-ha- lf dollars a year and which can be raised In the United States. The science of chemurgy must be encouraged to find new commercial uses for farm crops and for present farm wastes. Doing these things means Increased revenue for the farmers, more Jdbs for workmen, more opportunities for the invest-ment of capital In business a high-er standard of living for all. America needs in its national legislative bodies men of vision, men who will strive for the general good, rather than for partisan ad-vantage, men who will think of all groups, plan legislation to benefit all. instead of laws that take from one in order to give to another. We cannot establish and maintain that degree of prosperity and well-bein- g to which we are entitled by 'any policy of appeasement of minorities. To give the farmer more for his wheat by charging the workman more for his bread but creates a vicious circle which in-evitably leads to inflation and the ruin of all. Through a policy of in-creased production that leads to in-creased demand and consumption, we can benefit all, the farmer, the workman, business and the gen-eral public. There are in America men capa-ble of solving our production prob-lem, and they are the men needed in congress. Who in your town, your country, your district would meas-ure up to such standards? EVERYBODY CLIMBS ABOARD NATIONAL SPEED WAGON IT IS A SWIFT WORLD in which we are living, and there is no place in which new speed records are be-ing established more frequently than in congress. When I first began taking notice of what happened in Washington, it would take a whole session of con-gress, with days and weeks and months of talk, to spend the from five to seven hundred million dol-lars then needed to run the govern-mental machine. In that there would be the customary "pork" that might account for as much as 25 or 3C million, but to make up for it, there would be a few dollars cut out here and there. One year, I remember, they even refused to buy pocket knives for the senators. It is different in these days of speed. To keep pace with, or ex-ceed, the speed of those fighting planes we are sending to Europe, the senate recently passed out 10 billions billions, not thousands or even millions in just 80 minutes, and they did it unanimously, every senator was on the speed wagon. That little item was on top of 22 billions that had been spent during the present session before the last small item came along. And the session is probably only half over, another half year in which to es-tablish new and greater speed rec-ords. What that 32 billions mean to you and me and to our wives and children is just about $250, which each one of us will have to pay. CONSIDER YOUR MERCHANTS, TOWN ASSETS WOMEN OF THE neighborhood patronized the food chains for their light packaged goods on which they saved a cent or two. The chains did not deliver, but the women could carry the light packages. For the heavier staples, patronage went to the independents because they delivered. They were used as a convenience. The independents could not deliver and live on sales of staples only and in time many went out of business. Because we could not get food deliveries, we had to sell our home and move, but selling was a prob-'- People did not want to buy fur the same reason that we wanted to sell. Lack of delivery con-- veniences forced down the value of real estate. AH of that was in a large city, but exactly the same thing happens - any rural community where peo- -' pIe u:;e th local stores only as a convcn;mce, but go to other centers make their larger purchases. Local merchants cannot live as merely a convenience and when the loca market place is gone, real estate values are gone and the so-- j c and cultural center goes Pays to consider the future.
