NO CHANGE IN POLICY BRinSH ASK FOR SPEED LABOR LEADERS AGREE MORE AID TO BRITAIN "WALLACE WOOS MEXICO .The appointment of Adniiral Nomura as the next Japanese Am bassador to the United States '..to taken by some observers to indicate the desire of the Japanese Cabinet to nrevent further unfortunate develop ments between the two countries. It is pointed out that the 'Admiral, as Forevn Minister of Japan in 1939, made an effort to diminish friction with the United States, even propos ing to reopen the Yangtze River to foreign trade. This came to nothing because of the downfall of the Abe Cabinet, in part because of opposi tion to the Nomura nosition. It is very difficult to pass judg ment upon the- motives Of the Japan ese Government or to believe that the appointment of Admiral Nomura means any change in the policies of Japan which have produced tension between the United States and Japan. Since the fall of the Abe Cabinet, Japan has plunged into a policy of totalitarianism at home and Axis alliance abroad. The Government has vigorously prosecuted its efforts to initiate a "New Order" in the Far East and there have occurred numer ous incidents to illustrate the funda mental differences that divide the two governments. For example, the recent withdraw al of thousands of Japanese soldiers from China is not yet thoroughly understood. The shortening of the Japanese lines in China, effecting the release of troops, is sound strategy if Japan plans no further advance against Chungking. It also releases soldiers for possible active service in other areas where responsible 'Tokyo officials believe the European War has presented a golden opportunity to Japan. As we have pointed out many times in this column, the United States and Japan seem to be headed for an in evitable clash unless one, or both powers, alter its present policies. Japan's "New Order" cannot rise in the Pacific without trampling upon the rights of Western nations, se cured by treaties, to which Japan is a party. If the United States insists upon adhering to its policies in the Far East, including the Open Door in China, the status quo in regards to territory in the Far East and the rlitical independence of China there no way to avoid Hostilities unlless Japan is prepared to give up some of the dreams which have fired her ambitious statesmen. The return of the Marquis of Lothian, British Ambassador to the United States, from his recent trip to London, marked the beginning of what seems to be new British policy in respect to war news. The Am bassador, upon his arrival in this country, frankly intimated that Great Britain is reaching the end of her dollar resources, with the' suggestion that this country may be called upon to extend credit if British war pur chases are to be continued. It is very difficult to ascertain the extent of British holdings available to finance war purchases, but in 1940 Christmas Savings Checks Mailed Out For a More Enjoyable 1941 CHRISMS JOINOURNEW CHRISTMAS SAVING CLUB FORMING NOW CLUB 1 Deposit for 50 weeks.

C; WASjliuGTOll view ol the fact that contracts have to be protected in order to assun manufacturers that funds are avail able for the purchases, it is generally regarded as reasonable to suppose that British dollar credits will be se nnnalv : attended before the end of 1941. " While the Ambassador was talking with the President about the situa tion in Europe, stressing the neea oi his country for ships but with confi dence as to the ultimate results of the war, Sir Walter Citrine, British labor :oaJer. sDeakinsr to the American Federation of Labor at New Orleans, was admitting that "bombing is nav ing an effect on our output" and urg ing the American Labor organization to speed up the production of "planes, niorxxi and more Dlanes." The Gen- So.Tmtanr of the British Trade Union Congress declared that "A' merican labor has it in its power to defeat Nazi Germany without unrig a shot," by speeding the production nf TMHMitmrv war supplies. Responding to the Citrine speech, William Green. President of the A- merican Federation of Labor, declar ed that union labor would accept as its primary responsibility the sending of an ever-increasing number oi planes to Great Britain and, in a sub seauent interview, the labor leader stated that no strike "for any rea son" could be permitted to interrupt the production of war materials for national defense or for aid to Great Britain. He suggested that tribunals could be set up to adjust differences that might result in the interruption of production. Along the same line, the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies, of which William Allen White, Kansas editor, is National Chairman, warned the American people that ac tive military involvement may be un avoidable and urged Congress to re peal statutes that might restrict American aid to Great Britain. The Committee has been actively engaged in developing public opinion to sup port "aid short of war," and has usu ally advocated in advance the steps taken by the United States to assist the British. Accepting the thesis that the defeat of Great Britain will leave the United States alone with war inevitable sooner or later, the Committee insists that our only chance of avoiding war "is by giving all material assistance to Great Britain and her allies im mediately." Just now, the Commit tee urges greatly increased arms production becatise the war "rnay be won or lost on the American assem bly lines." Calling the sea routes to the West ern Hemisphere the "life lines," the Committee urges this country to sup ply Great Britain with merchant ves sels to fly the British flag and to es tablish a shipping pool in the Indian and Pacific Oceans to relieve British shipping for use in the Atlantic Ocean. It also urges Congress to re peal restrictive statutes which pre vent this nation from cooperating with nations "defending themselves from attack by nations at war in vio lation of treaties with the United States."

IThe presence of Vice-President-elect Henry A. Wallace and a number of officials at the inauguration' of President Avila Camacho,iin Mexico City last week, represented a special gesture of friendship.' that will un doubtedly be the forerunner of mow cordial relations between the United States and our sister republic to the 'south. The Mexicans apparently ap preciate the special envoy from the United States, pointing out that only once before has Mexico been visited by a Vice-President of this country. Vice-President Garner went to Mex ico in connection with the inaugura tion of the Pan-American highway. The journey of the Vice-Presidentelect emphasizes the lack of cordial relations which has marred the his tory of the United States and Mexico. For various historical reasons, there has been distrust and suspicion of the motives of this country in Mexico and considerable fear of the might of the colossal neighbor able at almost any time to obliterate the Mexican Gov ernment and to conquer the Mexican people. Of course, Americans, as a rule, have no such antipathies toward the Mexican people, regardless of the ill-feelings provoked in certain quar ters of this country by the policies of President Cardenas, including the seizure of American-owned oil wells. In promoting the "Good Neighbor" policy in the Western Hemisphere, the United States is seeking to win the friendship of all nations by as surances which come from policies rather than words. It is high time that a special effort is made to ce ment a permanent friendship with the Mexican people. Certainly, the Unit ed States is able to take care of her self in any foreign complication, but just because this nation is strong, there is little excuse for us to ignore the susceptibilities of the populations of the smaller republics. No nation, however strong, can afford the ill will, suspicion and distrust of mil lions of people, even though they are scattered in many republics. Chevrolet Dealers Holding National Truck Week Chevrolet dealers the nation ovei are holding their annual National Truck Week, December 2-7 inclusive, and have on display in their respec tive dealerships the broadest range of commercial equipment ever offer ed by the country's car and truck sales leader. According to W. E. Fish, manager of the commercial car department, 1941 will be one of the greatest sales years in truck history, with gains as high as 20 per cent expected in many sections of the country. "The gen eral business upturn is very clearly and very quickly reflected in the truck business," he said, "and truck sales mirror accurately the business picture. With increased activity, both in industry and in retail busi ness, predicted as we enter the win ter season, our forecast of truck sales gains seems reasonable. ; "tiy virtue or the fact that ap proximately one-third of all trucks at work in America today are Chev- rolets," Mr. Fish added, "our annual truck week becomes an event of in terest to every truck user, whether he operates a fleet or a single unit. The advances made in truck trans portation, as Illustrated in Chevro let's 1941 line, which includes 60 models on nine wheelhase lengths, are gains of vital importance to him. Among the features of our new line are two engines with increased pow er output, longer wheelbase, more comfortable cabs, easier steering of entirely new design, and new massive truck styling for the new year."

Civilization Is Like A Corporation: We Live On Dividends "All men are stockholders in oui civilization," writes Robert G Sproul, president of the University of California, in the current issue oi The Rotarian Magazine. "Whatever we have been able to learn of Na ture's secrets comes to us as a divi dend from Civilization, Jnc. What ever more we. are able to bequeath will come from Civilization, Inc." The assets of this mammoth cor poration we call civilization, Dr. Sproul points out, are far more tha ntangible factories and buildings, than tangible factories and buildings, lied Girl I,!; MOST POWEXfUl TRUCK ENGINES in the tow.pwa nao I f' , I 90-H0V70WIX V , '" STANDARD ENGOO 9J-K0MEP0WER KEAVYDUTY lOAD-MASTER'fLHCINt .

Today the assets or. the "OaHance sheet of Civilization are, perhaps, the highest yet offered to the stock holderswhich are ourselves but the very values which are our best possessions' may be perverted, as some are being, to destroy the values themselves. Yet, quoting Thomas Mann: : "The essential man is not the creature who hurls down bombs on children, but the mind that devised the flying machine, the seeker and builder, not the destroyer." That the faiths arid beliefs that are the chief asset of Civilization, Inc., are in danger is the concern of all of us, as stockholders in the en terprise, Dr. Sproul reminds us. "To day there is in our world a power ful doctrine that such concepts are the spawn of a decaying liberalism. Thus we have the spectacle of gov ernments not believing what other governments say," he writes. The great hope for the maintenance of our common values is the renewal of the ancient, deep-seated faiths, and a ''dynamic faith in truth and in man."
