H. V. Kaltenborn! You hear him on the air interpreting
war news. You’ve read his books. He was born in Mil
waukee, and he graduated from Harvard with honors. He
was private tutor for Vincent Astor, and traveled over the
world on the Astor yacht.
Would you like to know what he considers the secret of
his success? I met him on the train not so long ago, and
he gave it to me in three words: undertake the impossible.
As a young man he wanted to go to Europe, but he did
not have the money, nor did he have any prospect of earn
ing it. So he undertook the impossible: he decided to go to
Europe without money. He got a job on a cattle boat and
worked his way. He had accomplished what, at first, had
seemed utterly impossible. ' *
He traveled over Germany, where he could speak the
language, but also he wanted to see Paris—the Paris of his
Milwaukee dreams. No money, and he couldn’t speak
French; but he decided to see Paris, anyway.
He arrived in Paris without a cent in his pocket. He
would get a job! He would indeed, for he had to get one!
He decided to insert an ad in the papers stating that he
would do any kind of work. The insertion of an ad meant
pawning his camera.
He received one reply—from a company that wanted
him to sell stereoscopes. You’ll remember those old-fash
ioned things you used to look through to see enlarged pic
tures.
To sell stereoscopes to the French people when he could
not parley-voo a word of their language, did seem impossi
ble. He took the printed sales-talk to a waiter who could
speak English and French and had him translate it. Then
he had the waiter drill him, and learned the whole sales
talk by heart. Next he started down the street, ringing
doorbells. The good French housewife would stare in
amazement at the young man jabbering some strange lan
guage which reminded her vaguely of French. Then she
would begin to laugh, and Kaltenborn would laugh, too.
Then he would drive into the next paragraph and pretty
soon the woman would buy.
Well, to make a long story short, he made $4,000 the first
year. He worked part of the next year, then gave it up and
came back to this country and went to school again.
He told me that if some one in Milwaukee had previ
ously said that he could sell stereoscopes to the French in
their own language he would have thought the man crazy.
Yet he did it. Mr. Kaltenborn quotes his Harvard profes
sor, William James: “What we do, compared to what we
could do, is like comparing the waves on the surface of the
sea to the ocean’s great depths.”
So the next time you are appalled by some task, sail
into it, accomplish the impossible. It can be done, if you
will have utmost confidence in yourself, you can do it.

'Editor's Note: Mr. Hull’s article
h unavoidably
omitted thia week
ind the following release waa pre
pared by a guest columnist.)
According to the National Geo
graphic society, more than a bil
lion people and more than a quar
ter of the earth's surface would be
dominated by Japan if that nation's
dream of a reported ''Greater East
Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" came
true It is reported thut recently
a map describing this "sphere" had
fallen into the hands of the Chinese
government.
A Chungking dispatch describes
the map as covering Russia's share
of Sakhalin island, the Asia main
land to and including Iran in the
south, and Siberia to the Urals in
the north; the northern tip of Aus
tralia; and all the islands of the
Southwest Pacific.
Hawaii was
stated to have been specifically
omitted from the proposed Japa
nese-controlled sphere.
To bring such a chart to reality,
the Japanese would have to estab
lish domination over practically
all the kinds of terrain the world
offers, as well as most of the races
of the human family.
The regions concerned vary from
the vast desert stretches from the
"Dead Heart of Asia" to the humid
jungles of British Malaya, from
the Arctic wastes of the Siberian
tundra and lonely plateaus of
The little mountain village of
Questa. N. M., has modernized the
town crier. A loudspeaker system
staves the entire village.
A high school girl, seated be
side a famous astronomer at a
dinner party, struck up a conver
sation with him by asking: "What
do you do in life"?
He replied: "1 study astronomy."
"Dear me." said the girl, "I
studied astronomy last year."
China and India are the world’s
leading producers of peanuts.
Tibet's "Lost Horizon" land, to the
busy oil-soaked flats of Iran. They
contain some of the most fe;ale
and the most desolate areas on
earth; the highest mountains and
the deepest seas; the wettest spots
in the world, and some of the cold
est and the hottest weather known
to man.
It is estimated in round num
bers, the Japs so far have succeed
ed in bringing under their control
some 400 million people and more
than 24 million square mllea of
territory. These figures represent
the completion of roughly a little
less than two-fifths of the popula
tion Involved and between one-sixth
and one-seventh of the land area
as reported mapped.
Whether or not the map really
exists matters little. The big point
ia simply this: Japan has some
pretty definite Ideas on where she
is headed.
But even more important is the
fact that the United Nationa aeree
that she isn't going to get there,
Washington and London have
drawn no maps for conquest but
they have drawn up the Atlantic
charter which would Indicate that
any plans Japan might have for
the Pacific area would have to be
tossed into the sea along with the
Jap navy. That's the job ahead.
Japan may have her maps but
the United Nations plan to chart
the course.
