Rupture of Japan Treaty Seen ' as Isolationist Decision In Wake of British Surrender (EDITOR'S NOTE When opinions are expressed In these columns, they are those of the news analyst and net necessarily of this newspaper.) Released by Weatern Niwtpaper Union. INTERNATIONAL: Focus on Japan The word "defeat" laid heavily on Neville Chamberlain's brow. In Tokyo, his British Ambassador Sir Robert Leslie Craigie had signed peace terms with Japan In which Mr. Chamberlain's government promised not to obstruct the Japanese Jap-anese army In its war with China. But first guesses are sometimes wrong. Though Berlin's Voelkitcher Beobachter sneered "Very Dis-agreeabe, Dis-agreeabe, Mr. Chamberlain," and though Secretary of Stat Cordell Hull warned this meant the end of U. S. -British "parallel action" In the Orient, Britain herself felt satisfied. To Shanghai's British chamber of 5 a," x r :. ;jy U w . j AMBASSADOR HORINOUCIU Aore 6a neui it coming. commerce, which protested vehemently, vehe-mently, Mr. Chamberlain gave an explanation something like this: The U. S. was to blame, since she refused: to raise a finger to protect occidental Influence in China against Jap aggression. But by granting Japan rights In China, Britain satisfied satis-fied Tokyo's grievances against western democracies and thus "detached" "de-tached" her from the threatening Rome-Berlin axis. Moreover the European tension made such a settlement set-tlement unavoidable, since Britain could not protect both her Asiatic and European interests. As a result, re-sult, full emphasis can .now be placed on blocking Hitler and Mussolini; Mus-solini; Britain's worries in the Orient Ori-ent are over. But were they? Critics warned Mr. Chamberlain that U. S. isolation isola-tion might result from this unprecedented unprece-dented surrender. That very thing looked possible a few days later when Cordell Hull flatly terminated the 28-year "treaty of general commerce com-merce and friendship" with Japan. Though Jap Ambassador Kensuke Horinouchi got a formal explanation that certain provisions of the pact "need new consideration," he knew p. was but the first of several slaps. A few months from now the U. S. will probably notify Ambassador Horinouchi of an arms embargo against Japan. ' Meanwhile, Japan turned the tables by announcing its price for a new treaty would be U. S. recognition of a "new order" in China. As for Britain, there was growing opinion in Washington that Neville Chamberlain Is to be trusted no more than Japan. Having sold British Brit-ish interests In China down the river, riv-er, having violated both the nine-power nine-power and Kellogg pact, he probably winced at the next news: Japan got an inch and took a mile, announcing all foreign shipping would be banned from Canton. POLITICS: mft Interesting to Republican politicians politi-cians was the announcement that Ohio's Gov. John W. Bricker would seek another term, and not run for the G. O. P. presidential nomination. nomina-tion. This left convention delegates from Mr. Bricker's state a clear COTTON IS NEW YORK: Since Britain agreed in her Anglo-American barter plan to take additional cotton cot-ton fur whatever subsidy was established, es-tablished, the 1V4.. cents per pound rate recently announced will give her roughly 100,000 additional bales, or a total of 700,000 bales. IN" WASHINGTON: "The V. S. and Japan agreed to extend' for one year their Philippine islands cotton pact, under which Jap exporters ex-porters of cotton piece goods agree to limit the annual Philippine Philip-pine importation el Japanese col ton piece goods to 45,000,000 square meters. IN MEM THIS: Pres. Oscar Johnston "of the National Cotton council planned a conference with Secretary .of .Agriculture Henry A. Wallace to improve consumption consump-tion and price of cottonseed, thus averting "threatened disaster." field to plump for Ohio's Sen. Robert Rob-ert A.

But Democratic politicians had even more interesting If more puzzlingnews puz-zlingnews about 1940. Off to Europe Eu-rope (on the same boat with G. O. P. Chairman John D. M. Hamilton) sailed Postmaster General James A. Farley after a mystifying conference confer-ence at Hyde Park with President Roosevelt Only after-conference word to reporters was Mr. Roosevelt's Roose-velt's remark that such talks had been going on for years, and were "fairly effective." But everyone knew the subject of IMO's presidential election had been broached, most observers thought Jim Farley had pressed his boss for an announcement regarding his third-term candidacy, and a few thought there was a definite rift between be-tween the two men which will not break into headlines until October or later. Reasons: Mr. Farley is a potential poten-tial candidate who cannot risk an announcement until after the President Presi-dent himself speaks. Otherwise he would lose much New Deal support. sup-port. Even so, bad blood began simmering during the Supreme court fight, boiled during last year's "purge" and boiled even harder when Farley's enemy. Paul McNutt, got a fat administrative job. Good Democrats are wondering if these rifts will ever be healed. ENGLAND: Irish Wit Commuters at London's King's Cross and Victoria stations shuddered shud-dered as bombs exploded.

MEDICINE: Victory Last summer Trust Buster Thur-man Thur-man Arnold obtained indictments against the American Medical association, asso-ciation, three other lesser medical groups and 21 physicians on the ground that they had conspired to restrain trade under the Sherman anti-trust act Specific case: Group Health Association, Inc., a low-cost medical group formed by government govern-ment employees in Washington, charged that certain hospitals and doctors refused to accept patients referred to them by the association's associa-tion's doctors. Best guesses last summer held the Indictments were a weapon over A. M. A.'s head to force modification . s . t. . : : . - ' if 0 ' , . fc&gh; ft A. M.

Thus far. evidently. A. M A. thinks the U. S has found neither a fit program nor suflicicnt need for it. PUZZLERS Do you know your news?

BARTON ii TT IS by no means an un-1 un-1 common experience for most practicing physicians to have a worried mother con sult them, as to the reason why her child is failing fail-ing in his school-work school-work or failing fail-ing to show the normal liveliness of others of his own age. In many of these cases the mother speaks of 'day -dreaming spells. Others will complain that for longer or shorter periods the child will sit with a preoccupied manner, often staring vacantly Into pact and possibly grimacing or smiling to himself when he is cup-posed cup-posed to bo doing some task or tup: posed to be reading or even listening to the radio. When spoken to the child gives a start befors answering. answer-ing. The child seems to prefer sit ting alone rather than taking part in the activity of other children." I am quoting Dr. H. R. Brillinger, Hamilton, in an article ar-ticle on "Day Dreaming" in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. In its mild form day-dreaming Is normal. nor-mal. The bright child in the class completes its task and while waiting for the others to perform theirs engages en-gages in day-dreaming. The child who is not so bright, who has difficulty dif-ficulty with his school task, sits and daydreams instead of working at his task. May Be Serious. Day-dreaming in an exaggerated or advanced form can be serious, and parents, teachers and physicians physi-cians must be on the alert to get this1 exaggerated form in its early stages. Day-dreaming is just "imagining" and may act as a spur to greater effort On the other hand, daydreaming day-dreaming where the child imagines he is accomplishing great things or performing great deeds really satisfies satis-fies the child who in real life with other youngsters actually has an inferiority complex. Sometimes the child's surroundings, surround-ings, or circumstances, give it an inferiority complex and in daydreaming day-dreaming it makes up for this in its own mind. Sometimes there may be some slight defect in hearing, vision or personal appearance that the child tries to overcome by imagining itself it-self to be absolutely free of all defects. There are some cases where infectionteeth in-fectionteeth or tonsils is lowering its "fighting" forces. Dr. Brillinger states that day-dreaming is normal, but it readily becomes abnormal, which is a sign of early mental illness. ill-ness. When treated early the results re-sults are usually very gratifying. Blood Pressure 'Scare' or Not? The story is told of a country physician who has wonderful success suc-cess in treating pneumonia patients. It was stated by some who thought they knew that this physician called all heavy colds pneumonia and as practically all cold cases recover anyway, this was the real reason that he was so successful in the treatment of pneumonia. My own opinion is that this physician physi-cian knew that if he told the patient that he "just had a cold," he would want to be up and about in "a day or two, which would not only mean that the cold would "hang on" but might bring on broncho-pneumonia or pneumonia. In other words, the physician thought it wise to "scare" the patient, to prevent complications. complica-tions. Now that blood pressure is so much discussed, some physicians, if blood pressure is high, try to "scare" their patients into living a "quiet" life, rightly statins? that quiet life may double their years oneartn. 1 believe it will be agreed that this may be lust the oroner ad. vice in some cases; if some patient were auowea to live their own lives they would overwork, overeat, and get overexcited. Dr. Henry M. Thomas Jr., Johns Hopkins hospital, Baltimore, in the Baltimore number of Medrhal nin. lcs of North America, states: Scare Into Being Good. It is true that some individuals must be scared into being good, but among uie high pressure group these are few and far between. Many, many more need reassurance, reassur-ance, and this comes in the form of optimistic explanation of the eauia of high blood pressure. Most pa tients want to know the Actual nsv ures; if the reading is a couple of points a Dove or below the last reading read-ing they are relieved or distressed accordingly."
