ANSWER: The wrappers are se

fancy leaves of these groups. L. T.

oily, firm, and strong, and must have
bright finish and small to medium
aise and Mending fiber*. The aver-1
age crop doea not contain any wrap

is exceptional in quality and con-1
tains a fair percentage of wrappers, j
it will pay. farmers to sort them out

What the nation will require, in
tiie way of defense a year from to
day, depends upon what happens in
the next twelve months. What we
think we need now is baaed upon
what happened in the world in the
past fifteen months.
Until we secure a set of officials
who can knoW what will happen, at
least a year ahead, it will be very
difficult to tell anybody "exactly
what" will be necessary.
The defense program is develop
ing, unfolding need. Industry, like
government, can use its intelligence
in attempting to understand what is
likely to happen. There is no law to
prevent an industrial leader from
being smarter than a government of
ficial, even in the matter of probable
defense needs.
.PACIFIC WAR THERAT
JAPAN MARCHES ON
N. S. FACES CRISIS
?
In considering events in the Far
East it is important for Americans
to realize that Japan is asserting a
hegemony over vast areas of the
Pacific and that, step by step, the
Tokyo statesmen are. attempting to
make the Nipponese dream of power
come true.
Japanese aggression has been de
layed not because of any peace senti
ment in Japan, but solely because
Tokyo waited for a favorable occa
sion. Hie clash between the United
States and Japan does not arise over
idealistic terminology but because
Japan uses war as an instrument of
national policy to take what she
wants, regardless of the owner.
For several years it has been ap
parent that only a complete back
down by Tokyo or Washington could
avert serious complications, with the
imminent tnrest of warfare. This
country has shown great patience
with the Japanese, even delivering
oil to Japanese tankers and permit
ting the purchase of vast quantities
of pcrap metal, in the hope that dif
ficulties might be avoided.
They Japanese advance into French
Indo-Ghina is important evidence of
further designs, affecting Singapore,
the Netherlands East >jndief ' t and,
possibly, the Philippines. Without
bases closer than those in China and

foray against the East Indies.
With the world situation what it
is, we must remember that the Amer
ican battle fleet has been stationed
at its Honolulu station in order to
exdrt pressure upon the Japanese.
While Japan, under naval treaties,
had a capital ship ratio of three to
five, nobody knows exactly what con
struction has been undertaken by the
were thrown overboard.
. ?
*? Whether the full strength of our
fieSt has been maintained :*& the
Pacific is questionable. Certainly,
some scouting units have been
Withdrawn for service in the Atlan
tic, being replaced by aircraft of the
latest type, well adapted for scontidg
work. Experts believe that the tj, S.
fleet is more than a match' for the
Japanese navy but it will be operat
ing far from secure bases if it ven
tures into Far Eastern waters.
? ? ? -r. ;? I
The importance of the British base
at Singapore, in connection with pos
sible involvement of the American
battle fleet, is appreciated in Wash
ington and Tokym In part, this ex
plains the desire of the Japs for
Indo-China bases. It also elucidates
the cooperative spirit that exists be
tween the British and ourselves in
the Far East.
? . . . ? .
Some experts go so far as to say
that the possession, of ; Singapore
iS the essential factor to prevent
Japan from running hog-wild, not
only in the Pacific but even in the
Indian Ocean. They remind us of.
the report that Hitler eventually ex
pects the assistance of the Japanese
fleet, if neceasar^, to win his war in
the Mediterranean.
The developing sequence of Jap
anese aggressive enterprises: indi
cates that Tokyo is going to test
American backbone and determine
whether the United States 'is reedy
to put up a fight at any given point
in regards to the Pacific. Economic
moves are not apt to perepade the
Japanese that the United States:
means business and wilL probably in
crease Japanese determination to
grab coveted territory at the risk of
war.
