No Settle- ment Likely. Relations with Japan continue to emphasize the serious nature of the crisis in the Far East, with the con siderable evidence that the Japanese at Ht It J1 nave Deen lmpressea wnn me oiiem ma in which the nation finds itsett. It is clear that Japan is seeking to AeAav flio vital rlotainn whlMl Will mean war or peace with the United States, Great .Britain, the JNetner lands and Russia. The Axis nations re far off, utterly unable to extend assistance in the event of trouble. The potential enemies of Japan are closer and able to deliver tremen dous blows. f The talk about "safety zone" was probably put out as a feeler, in an effort to test the resolution of the Snited States in regards to ship ents to Russia. It was followed by official admissions in Tokyo that the nation was faced with the gravest decision of her history. The general understanding is that the Japanese have been well advisea of the consequences of drastic ac tion and that the Western powers have emphasized the advantages of cooperating with them rather than with the Axis. Tokyo may entertain the hope that Germany will score a decision against Russia soon and the Japanese -statesmen may be waiting 'upon developments. Congressman Maas, of Minnesota, recently pointed out that the Japan ese are desperately afraid of a war with the United States. He made it L clear that when the U. S. fleet was Concentrated in the Pacific the JaDs ; were relatively quiet but that when important units were sent into the Atlantic Ocean the Tokyo officials began new ventures. He says that th first news of the transfer of the American shins throueh the Panama Canal came from Tokyo with infor mation as .to the names of the ves sels and the dates of their transit. It is too early to draw any con elusions from the Konoye-Rooseveli negotiations, which, we presume, are continuing. ihe odds against any peaceful concession upon the part of Japan are enormous, in view of the $trong control exercised by the mili tary clique in that country. ! U. S. Still Out Of War. Can Peace Continue? The European war is two years old Aijd while the United States has long since dropped all pretense to neutral ity, in regards to the combat, the .President has managed thus far, to , kee"p out of the shooting stage. It is a question whether this will ' be possible if the war lasts another h two years but there can be little doubt of ithe success of the Presi dent's strategy so far. Mr. Roose velt, it seems, still intends to keep out of the war, if he can, but he ad mits that the decision may not be 4eft . entirely to us. fsIn brief, it seems ,that the Presi dent entertains the idea that rtifa country, recognizing its fundamental concern wiwi tne outcome of the struggle and the grave effects of a German triumph, should do what- i ever is necessary ito prevent that . catastrophe. This is predicted upon our own best interests, as he sees i X them. By giving prompt assistance in the . form of material to the belligerent r nations it is hoped that the defeat of Germany will be accomplished by na tions now involved in the actuai "warfare. The fact that we are not in the war, now, because of this Bolicy is understandable when we comprehend the Hitlerian policy of taking on his enemies "one by one." c Just now, Germany does not wish to have us among her active enemies and it is possible that this condition may last throughout the struggle. , Mexican Policies Friendly To U. S. Issues To Be Settled. ;,-In connection with the opening session of the . Mexican Congress, President Manuel Avila Amacho de ; Hvered a speech which took -three ' and a half hours. He read from a written text covering 175 tvnwi 1 va&jo containing about 35,000 wor4s. After nearly two hours, the , President rested while an assistant -toot over the reading of the address. ..The People of the United States will 1 interested in his declarations of support by the democracies and hemisphere defense. Generally, tne President followed a middle-of-the-road. course, but correspondents indi cate that his general position seems a little less to the left than his pre decessor, , , -crouching on relations between Mexico and the United jStates, Presi dent Amacho said that a general settlement of outstanding questions.

Mexican in--'-"try, and the effect of the black list, set up by the United States, which causes certain boycotted con cerns to reduce their Mexican staffs. On the same day, an evidence of economic cooperation between this country and Mexico came from Washington, where the State Depart ment announced that despite a short age of rolling stock in this country, the Mexican National Railways' have been given a certain priority to 1,000 railroad box cars already or- aerea. construction of the cars will start next month arid they will be assembled at the rate of 25 to 30 a day. The relations between Mexico and the United States have gradually improved during the past few years. Conditions are much better today than they were during the first World War, when incidents like the shelling of Vera Cruz and the puni tive expedition after Pancho Villa were fresh in the memory of Mexi can citizens. While there may be considerable difference of opinion in this country as to the wisdom or justice in domestic policies in Mexico, it is encouraging to have established a more friendly attitude with our neighbor to the South. Industry Faces Cut. Production Changes. Defense Needs First. As the Government swings into its program of national defense, an as sistant to the nations fir-htino- ag gression, industry is beginning to comprehend that ,the year 1942 will not be a question of profits and loss but more likely one of continuing or discontinuing operations. Leo M. Cherne, eiecutive secretary of the Research Institute of America Incorporated, reports that the OPM has compiled a list of more than forty industries, numbering thous ands of firms, which will have to re trench or close their doors as a re sult of raw materials starvation. This means that the priorities put into effect in connection with defense pro duction will inevitably eliminate the supply of certain raw materials es sential to the preservation of other industries. Mr. Cherne fears that many busi ness men face rigid priorities that will sharply reduce manufacturing in 1942, price controls .to limit competi tive methods and positions, a conser vation program to cut down on the number of stvles. of the items manufactured, increasea taxes, including the probable doub ling of the social security taxes and a Possible Mmniilmra j, maviugs pro gram to drain off nnivhinir.n. n,.. . HWCl in order to erect a barrier to th threatened deflation. While we are unnhlo t .u-;-. t. . predictions of Mr. Cherne, there is no doubt whatever that business win face increasing diffionitia mo ill 1. Utt, lhe restrictions will work hardships w.UDC muusines that produce non-defense items. This will present a serious problem to industry and labor, resulting in some unemploy ment and considerable shifting of jobs, and inconvenience a buying public accustomed to the idea that money will get them anything. Vitamins Important In Animal, Breeding- The success with which North Car olina farmers raise their pig, lamb and calf crops to meet expanding national food needs may depend in a large part on the kind of rations they supply their breeding stock, says Earl H. Hostetler, professor of animal husbandry at N. C. State College. Rations-well fortified with vita mins and minerals are required for normal reproduction, ad Vitamins a, t,, and C have received most at tention m relation to reproduction. Carotene, which is present in well cured green hay, fresh green pas- hi Tr'a m.n I, i 6iii, weu-maae corn, grass "u .BSume snage, and yellow varie carrots, squash, and sweet potatoes, is the principal source of vitamin a, highly essential in the reproduction of all farm animals. However, Hostetler pointed out carotene is raoidlv destmvcH especially under conditions of poor storage, so precautions must be tak en to provide adequate amounts par- ucuinriy pregnant animals.
