Plus Philippine Troop Mobilization; Nazis Claim Gains on Three Fronts (EDITOR'S NOTE When opinions are expressed in these columns, they are those of the news analyst and not necessarily of this newspaper.) I (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) isilispf.ililll LOS ANGELES, CALIF. Japanese are shown intently reading "extra" news bulletins posted at a newsstand in Los Angeles' "Little Tokyo" telling of President Roosevelt's order freezing all Japanese assets in the United States. (For other new of Japan . . . See Below.) peal to the United States to "re-consider." The government took immediate retaliatory action, freezing all American, British, Canadian and Australian assets, and Ito, head of the Japanese Board of Information, said: "If the United States refuses to understand Japan's real intentions and is now bent on taking measures to exert pressure on Japan, the conclusion is inevitable that it is the United States that disturbs the peace. The responsibility rests en-tirely with that government." Thus Japan, and this was recog-nized as the most militant state-ment against this government that had been made in the history of the relations, many times strained, be-tween the two nations. NOTICE: Served on Japs The reaction of Tokyo, as ex-pressed by Ito, was coupled wifib. a threat in the news-paper Nichi-Nic- as follows: "The United States may be con-fronted with a perilous situation fraught with the danger of war." The newspaper Asahi said: "This is no longer an economic problem which could be dealt with economically, but provokes the fun-damental determination of the Japa-nese people." These words were particularly significant, because they bespoke the nation's inability to face the withdrawal of the exports of the United States and Britain and her dominions, or to replace these miss-ing goods without going to war to get them. Thus observers saw in the Philip-pine mobilization order that this gov-ernment was serving notice on Ja-pan that the United States is get-ting ready to defend her territory in the South Pacific and her trade . JAPAN: Shows Hands Dwarfing even the Russo-Germa- n war, with all its action, the Japa-nese situation because of its close-ness to involvement of the United States, stole the world spotlight. . While there were indications that the Japanese were to continue the war with China, perhaps on even a more vigorous basis, and that Nip-pon was attempting to strengthen its hand on the Russian front, the main move was the military and naval occupation of French Indo-Chin- While this had been foreseen as a major Japanese objective, and even regarded as a probable one during and after the period of the change in government in Tokyo, the actual occurrence fell with a sense of con-siderable shock on the United States. For once the nation began to feel the hot breath of actual war blowing upon it, and the feeling that "all that" was far, far away began to be a distinctly shaky sort of thing. For the action taken by this gov-ernment was swift, drastic and met with complete collaboration by Great Britain, Canada and Austra-lia. It consisted of this, as the first steps: ; The freezing of Japanese assets. The limiting of all trade with .'Ja-pan under special license. The mobilization of the troops of the Philippines. In addition to the British empire's collaboration with the first two plans, Britain's far eastern troops were on the qui vive for action and a request by Thailand for British aid in case her territory was violat-ed was met with instant assent. In fact, it seemed extremely likely that Britain would move into Thai-land in order to create a buffer state that might prevent Japanese at-tempt to cut the Burma road, which lies only a short distance, relatively speaking, from Hanoi in the north-ern part of Indo-Chin-lifelines to that part of the world with armed force. Gen. Douglas A. MacArthur, for-mer chief of staff of the United States army, was called out of re-tirement to take command of all the far eastern forces. The hand-some, socially debonair general, still vigorous for all his years, immedi-ately went to work. The forces involved total now in the neighborhood of 150,000 trained or partially trained men, and with draft machinery already at work in the islands, and equipment ready to be rushed there, an armed force considerably larger was a possibili-ty. RUSSIA: Holding Hard While it was still practically im-possible to make any definite sense out of the German and Russian claims, the consensus was that the Russians were making a surprising-ly good fight out of the war. As time wore on the battles were admittedly severe according to both sides, and the main objectives were clarified as Smolensk, Kiev and Len-ingrad. REACTION: And Results The immediate reaction of Japan was what amounted to a "sparring for time." Nippon was caught with several ships tied up at American wharves, automatically, by this gov-ernment's declaration, prevented from moving. Some 40 additional ships were en route here, and were hove to at sea. And if the republics were to take similar action to the United States they might find it hard to make a port where they would be able to unload. One of the vessels was carrying a $2,500,000 silk cargo and nearly 500 passengers bound for the U. S. Most serious result, however, was seen as the immediate stoppage of oil exportation to Japan from Amer-ican sources. Utterly dependent on foreign supplies of petroleum, and for much of her scrap metal as well, Japan was visualized as prac-tically forced to move on the Neth-erlands East Indies for the former and for supplies of tin as well. Most observers felt that if and when such a move was made, it would find the United States some sort taking of direct naval action of a preventive nature. Tokyo, immediately after Presi-dent Roosevelt's outline of Ameri-can action with regard to the incident, broadcast an ap- - There was nothing definite to in-dicate that any of these three Ger-man claims had actually been car-ried out. This lent general credence to the belief that if the Germans were not stalled, they at least were able to make only thin forays past these points, and were probably having a hard time of it. German dispatches tending to prove this to be so told of "bad roads" and "unfavorable weather," plus "stiff resistance" of scattered units of the Red army as making it difficult to advance. The Finns were more frank, and stated "there can be no talk of a blitz campaign. We are advancing but have to take one bunker after another." From time to time there were in-dications that Moscow was taking the offensive, certainly at some points in the front. BRIEFS: Washington: The highly contro-versial question of whether hus-bands and wives must file joint tax returns had been decided favor-ably by the house ways and means committee, still wrangling over the huge tax bill. Washington: Lieutenant General Gohkov and Engineer General Re-pi- n of the Russian army flew all the way from Moscow to the U S conferred with defense heads who assured them that military aid to Russia will be speeded up. COINCIDENCE: It so happened that the sudden move by Japan and the counter-move- s by this government were timed exactly to coincide with con-gressional consideration of the measure to keep draftees, guards- men and reservists in the armed forces for the duration. There was no question but that the back of the opposition to this measure was badly bent if not bro-ken by the quick change in the in-ternational situation. That this was true was seen in the action of the senate military af- fairs committee, which voted favor-ably on the proposition to declare the nation "imperiled," and to back it up with the extension measure. The senate's intentions were out-lined by Senator Hill, who said that the committee didn't feel that it ought to declare a full national emergency, which would give the President the broadest possible pow-ers, but that, acting under the lan- - guage of the selective service act it intended to declare the nation im-- periled. Rapid Heart Often Due to Nervousness By DR. JAMES W. BARTON Union.) (Released by Western Newspaper WHEN an individual is quietly and his heart suddenly begins to beat very rapidly twice as fast a; normal he is I nn.v,c naturally going TUUAI 0 to become wor-- HEALTH COLUMN suddenly as the rapidity I ' started up, it stops, and the heart rate is back to 72 or to again. When the heart beats rapidly, it is called tachy-cardia - "tachy," meaning fast, and "cardia" the heart. When the rapid beat occurs suddenly, lasts for minutes or hours, and stops suddenly, it is called paroxysmal tachy-cardia. While the cause of paroxysmal tachycardia is said to be unknown the cause in some cases is believed to be nervousness, dis-appointment, worry or some other de-pressing emotion. I have one case in mind of a teacher who had worked and planned for two years to take a cer-tain trip and at the last moment cir-cumstances pr-evented his trip. Dr. Barton From that time he began to have attacks of paroxysmal tachycardia which were controlled by the drug quinidine sulphate, now in general use for these attacks. Others state that these attacks occur when they have to do some special work or duty which is unfamiliar or distasteful. Attacks Not Dangerous. The treatment of this common type of rapid heartbeat is to assure the patient that there is no danger to life. This assurance is often all that is necessary to prevent fur-ther attacks. These attacks can sometimes be stopped by pressing on the nerves of the neck running along the "cord" which runs from back of ear to breast bone. However, in some forms of tachy-cardia where there is also some dis-turbance of regularity (rhythm), of the heartbeat, rest in bed is abso-lutely necessary, in addition to the quinidine sulphate. The thought then is when the heart suddenly begins to beat rapidly, is not to become frightened, but to send for your physician. If it is the common type, he can prescribe the quinidine sulphate. Neurology And Psychiatry TN MY student days there was not much instruction given on "be-havior" problems, or psychiatry. Today most neurologists combine with neurology (knowledge of nerves) the study of behavior (psy-chiatry) and are thus qualified to tell us when the symptoms are due to a disturbance of the nerves them-selves or whether the emotions, cir-cumstances, surroundings are af-fecting the individual's judgment and so affecting his behavior. When there is no real disturbance or change in the structure of the nerves or nerve tissue, yet the in-dividual behaves abnormally, the condition is called a neurosis. A simple classification of the neu-roses is outlined by Dr. A. L. Mac- Kinnon, Homewood sanitarium, Guelph, in the Canadian Medical As-sociation Journal. This classifica-tion makes it easy for us to under-stand such common conditions as neurasthenia, hypochondriasis, hys-teria, psychasthenia and anxiety states. 1. Neurasthenia: A condition of mental and physical tiredness. 2. Hypochondriasis: A hypochon- driac is a patient who has the fixed idea that he is suffering from or-ganic disease, when no disease is present. 3. Hysteria: Where patient thinks he cannot walk, cannot remember throws himself about but never hurts himself because he is conscious not unconscious as in epilepsy 4. Psychasthenia: "Psych" means mind or nervous system, "a" means not, and "thenia" means strength-thu- s mind or nerves are not strong and there are thus fears, obsessions a feeling that he "must" do certain things. 5. Anxiety states: A continuous state of anxiety with rapid or hard beating of the heart, breathlessness nausea and vomiting, and diar- rhoea. " QUESTION BOX Q.
