WE MODERNS INVADE A PRIMEVAL DOMAIN (Tftttacf (firme Sentinel 0 R E GlO( P u b l is h I e "P A P E R O C IA T I ON MENACE IN THE FAR EAST It seems that while the world is turning its attention to the troubled situation in Europe that most of us are forgetting the one thing that at present seems to threaten peaee in the Paeifie. This one thing is Japan. Japan has taken the idea that now is the time for her to gain a foothold in the Far East anti she seems to be taking steps to attain this end. Now that Great Britain is going to be—at least it is the next predicted move of Hitler—busy defending her own islands that she will not have time nor men to defend her possessions in the Far East, and France is no longer a recog nized state, the Japanese are taking steps to move in. If all the things Japan hopes for come true then we will have this matter on our hands very soon. President Roosevelt has warned Japan the United States will tolerate no such moves in this direction if it will have a bad effect upon our country. However, the Japanese seem to be completely disregarding the President ’s warning. If Japan does get French Indo-China—and they have dis patched warships to that territory already—the next step would probably be a grab of the Dutch East Indies. This small group of islands have long been the goal of Japanese imperialism. If they take steps to take over these islands then the United States will have to make a definite stand one way or another. We get much raw materials from this group of islands anil some of them seem to be at the present very valuable to our country. Not only would this group of islands give Japan some very much needed oil but it would give them a much stronger posi tion to move into other possessions of other nations in the Pa cific. The Japanese value the oil and other raw materials of the Dutch East Indies very highly and will probably make every ef fort to get control over them. Reports have it that the people of these islands have their oil fields mined and ready to blow up if such an attack does come from the outside. The fact that the U. S. fleet that has been stationed in Hawaiian waters left there for an unannnounced destination seems to indicate that the government of the United States is keping a close check on the activities in the Far East. There art* other indications that our government is watching the activities of Japan with an eagle eye and it is doubtful any actions of the Japanese are unknown to the officials at Washington. If we should be involved in the European struggle then it seems certain that Japan would take quick action. However, as long as we keep our nose out of the affairs across the Atlantic,! they will more than likey think twice before taking action that would draw the ire of our nation. Radio reports Wednesday evening indicate that Japan has already started activities in French Indo China and have' thrown a blockade around Hong Kong. These activities may make for many rapid changes in the picture in the far east in the next few days. Midget Auto Races To Be Held July 4th At Lane Fairgrounds hours, days and weeks.
