Looking at Washington
(Continued from page one)
to cover millions of square miles of
the Pacific, extending as far North
as the Aleutian Islands, as far South
as Canton Island and possibly as far
West as Wake, Guam and the Philip
pines.
Leaving the San Pedro-San Diego
area were 11 battleships, six air
craft carriers, four heavy cruisers,
eight submarines, 5 destroyers, 9
auxiliaries, 13 ships of the base force
with 290 airplanes. They will be
joined by units in the Pearl Harbor
area, including eight heavy cruisers,
one aircraft carrier, eight mine

The so-called "revelations" from
Berlin, which allegedly disclose pro
Allied activity on the part of Am
bassador Kennedy, at London, and
Ambassador Bullitt, at Paris, produc
ed no excitement on this side of the
Atlantic. There was some specula
tion as to the motives behind the
release of the documents, alleged to
have been taken from Polish archives
in Warsaw. The sentiments, attribu
ted to the Ambassadors, were not, in
the main, surprising. j
The suspicion that Berlin set the
"revelations" adrift as propaganda in
the hope of influencing public opin
ion in this country is strong. Appar
ently, Berlin wished to feed some
fuel to the flame of suspicion that
burns around the idea that the Presi
dent is trying to put the United
States into the war on the side of
Great Britain and France. Back of
this, it seems, is the idea that if the
American people can be persuaded
to believe that everything this nation
does is a step toward war, there will
be an active opposition to any steps,
even those "short of war" which tend
to strengthen the forces arrayed
against Germany.
The establishment of the puppet
Wang Government in Nanking sup
ported by the Japanese Army may
create serious questions for the Unit
ed States. Heretofore, interference
with American trade and other rights
in the occupied areas have been ex
plained by the Japanese on the
grounds of military necessity. Tokyo,
constantly reiterated that the incon
veniences were temporary. Now, with
a puppet-Chinese Government estab
lished, there is the strong probabil
ity that the same interference will
continue but that it will be nominal
ly the activity of the Wang Govern
ment instead of the Japanese.
Consequently, any American pro
test to Tokyo will be met with bland
assurance that the Japanese had noth
ing whateevr tx> do with the matter
: and Washington will be referred to
(the Wang regime. Because this
[country has not recognized and will
not recognize that regime, there will
be difficulty in negotiations. Even
if an approach is made to the Wang
Government, its answers to American
protests will be based upon the ad
vice of Tokyo, which will hide be
hind the buffer state created.
Thus we will have the situation
of the United States, which has re
fused to recognize Japanese terri
torial gains in Manchukuo and North
China, trying to protect its rights in
an area dominated by Japan but
running into a blank wall as Tokyo
blandly refers protests to Nanking.
In other words, the Japanese prin
cipal will refuse to negotiate, ifefer
Washington to its bayonet-supported
agent and with both parties being
fully conscious of the fact that the
Nanking regime is unable to act in
dependently or make any settlement
of the issues involved.
Apparently, this will place the
United States in a delemma, involv
ing the loss of its rights, unless it
calls the bluff of Tokyo. This call
cannot be based upon mere words
but must be accomplished by a threat
of force involving at least an eco
nomic embargo if not tha use of the
armed forces of this country.

ANSWERS TIMELY
FARM QUESTIONS
QUESTION: What is the best
distance between hills and rows in
setting tobacco plants?
ANSWER: A distance of 24 in
ches between hills with the rows
four feet wide has proven to be most
satisfactory under average condi
tions. On the more fertile soil, even
closer spacing on the row will be
profitable. The plants should be of
uniform size and free from disease.
The first cultivation should be made
about a week or ten days after trans
planting followed by cultivations
every week or ten days until just
before topping.
QUESTION: How can I preserve
my surplus eggs for consumption
next winter?
| ANSWER: For general farm use,
water-glass method is the most popu
lar and cheapest method. This is
prepared by using one quart of
sodium silicate (water-glass) to
nine quarts of water that has been
j boiled and allowed to cool. This
mixture is then placed in a five gal
| Ion crock or jar and the eggs put in
| the jar with the large ends up. This
container will hold about 12 dozen
eggs. If sufficient eggs are not
avainable when the solution is first
made, additional eggs may be added
from time to time. Use only fresh,
clean, infertile eggs and be sure that
the solution is two inches above the
eggs at all times.
QUESTION: How can wilt be
controlled on sweet potatoes?
ANSWER: If the potatoes are to
be planted on land that is known to
harbor the Wilt or Stem Rot fungus,
the root ends of the slips should be
immersed in a Bordeaux Mixture
solution made with one pound of
Copper Sulphate (blue stone) and
one pound of lime to two and one
half gallons of water. A wooden
tub or stone crock should be used.
The plants should be drained and
transplanted before the chemical
dries on the roots. If the soil is dry,
the plants should be watered at
planting,

Vegetable Laxative
Hat Important Points
Most people want a laxative to do
three things: (1) act punctually,
(2) act thoroughly, (8) act gently.
Here's one that usually fills all
three requirements when the easy
directions are followed. It's an o//
vtgttablt product whose principal
ingredient has medical recognition
as an "intestinal tonic-laxative."
That's the ingredient which en
ables BLACK - DRAUGHT to help
ton* lazy bowel muscles. It is the
main reason for the satisfying re
lief from constipation that gener
ally follows next morning when
BLACK-DRAUGHT is taken at
bedtime. The millions of packages
used are proof of its merit.
