THE war talk proceeding from the Japanese Diet yesterday should not be taken too seriously. The prediction of a rupture between Japan and the United States, unless present Japanese naval plans were modified, was not made by a member of the present government but by Kenki chi Yoshizwa, former foreign minister, in other words a member of the opposition. A statement from such a source should be given no more weight, in determining the true nature of the Japanese govern ment's policy, than the statement of a partisan Republican in congress, criticizing Roosevelt's New Deal. In fact, an analysis. of Toshizwa's statement, and the circum stances surrounding it, clearly shows that a break with the United States, is THE ONE THING THE GOVERNMENT OF JAPAN DOES NOT WANT I For the former foreign minister held this eventuality out, as the one reason why the present plans should be modified. "Continue this policy" he said in effect, "and a breach can't be avoided; change it, and friendship with the United States can be maintained." Toshizwa reasoned, and reasoned correctly, that a more ef fective criticism of the Japanese government's present naval policy, could not be made. J"0R this much can be taken as CERTAIN: Japan wants no trouble with the United States. It will do anything within reason to prevent it. It fears but it would go to any lengths Japan's naval and military direction entirely, i, e. in the direction of Manchuria, China and Russia. And the most she asks from this country, is -to be left alone. It is no exaggeration to state that her entire foreign policy at the present time is directed toward maintaining the neutrality,. and if possible securing the active friendship, of the United States. x ' . So we trust none of our readers will be misled by the head lines on the press dispatches from Tokio yesterday, or any simi lar headlines in the future. Properly understood, the news dispatches justifying those headlines, showed the unlikelihood rather than the likelihood of Japan ever seeking a waf with the United States. They Must Be Desperate ''PHE opponents of the state sales tax must be getting worried. They are showing more and more HEATj and giving less and less LIGHT. In yesterday's Portland Journal, which is still offering its columns daily to anti-sales tax propaganda written by Ray Gill,, the state grange master and potential candidate for governor, not only reverts to the cry of "Wall Street, "'but proceeds to flay tho gas tax, good roads and the state highway commission. Rather a large order 1 : We didn't suppose even Mr. Gill denied the general success of the gas tax, initiated by this state, and adopted by practically every state jn the union. Nor did wc suppose he doubted the honesty and efficiency of the state highway commissions. Nor the value of the present highway system in this state, which the gas tax and the gas tax alone made possible. But quite apparently he does. He CONDEMNS the various state highway commissions by declaring: "Looking back we see that our highway system has resulted In the greatest waste and extravagance ot anything our state has known' As for tho gas tax: "With nearly all the states applying gaapllne taxes, how ' could their congreaamen refuse to paaa a nstlonsl gasoline taxf ... It would then be easy to paaa a national sales tax . . . the HAND OP WALL STREET! Think twice before you let thte hand reach Into your pocket each day when you buy every Item of , the necessities of life I" So the gas tax was "Wall Street"; the sales tax will be "Wall Street"; and the member? of the state highway commis sions of Oregon have been guilty of the greatest waste and extravagance of anything this state has known I We can only explain such intemperance of language, by a growing fear on the part of Mr. Gill and other confirmed sales tax opponents, that the sales tax will pass, unless something desperate is done to stem the present tide in its favor. (Inci dentally we believe that fear is justified. If the sales tax doesn't pass this time it will the next. As we see It, eventually the sales tax principle is as certain to be a permanent feature of our state tax structure as anything in the future can be.) LJOWEVER just a word as to this Wall Street bugaboo. Mr. Gill maintains the gas tax was put over by Big Business and Wall Street. Is that truet Let anyone interested investigate the history of the gas tax in this state. 1 What was the ONE interest most strongly opposing it! What was the one interest that opposed the various increases! The Oil Trust of course ALL the large oil companies. They maintained oil was foroed to support more than its share of the tax burden, Hiid that consequently their sales would suffer. A ear load of evidence to support this statement can be produced and we aro quite certain John D. Rockefeller himself would not dispute it. And yet Mr. Gill claims Wall Street put over this tax! With John D. Rockefeller, E. L. Doheny, J, 1. Morgan, and the Chase National bank on the other side I WHAT AN ABSURDITY! VTET it is no more absurd than to maintain Wall Street put over the sales tax in the recent legislature, when twelve members of the state grange were chiefly responsible for it, and not even one paid lobbyist was working in its favor. The people of Oregon through their legislature put over tho gas tax, ami the people of Oregon through their state highway commission insisted that that money be invested in good roads As far as we can recall Mr. Gill is the first aspirant for high public office, who condemns that tax, favors its repeal, main tains that investment in permanent highways was wanton waste and extravagar.ee, and if he had had his way, this state with its thousands of automobiles ami hundreds of thousands of summer tourists, would still lie floundering axlo deep in the muck aud mud!

This rri means physical growth, organic de velopment, and doea not refer to mental or normal development. It la therefore unwise and dan geroua for anyone who has not yet attained his or her full adult growth and development to attempt any re duction, unless the entire regimen Is under me -personal and constant direction of the Indi vidual's own physician. For this rea son I have never knowingly given any minor or child counsel or aid In reduction. Wild animals never become obese. Even w.hen they have access to a superabundance of food they instinc tively stop eating once they ''have gorged themselves. Domestic animals readily put on excess weight if un lntelllgently fed and not sufficiently worked or allowed to play or exer cise. Obesity In every case Is primarily due to overeating. Overeating la al ways a relative term. Clearly the tailor requires less food than the blacksmith. The growing boy or girl requires more food than his or her father or mother does and should have it. The process of growth uses considerable energy and the source of all energy Is of course food. In e7ery Instance output must keep pace with Income If the Insidious encroachment of obesity Is to be avoided. The Income is the total caloric or food or fuel value of all the food one consumes; the output la the total amount of energy, reckoned in calories, one expends In working, playing and growing, plus the en ergy expended dally in basal meta bolism that la the functioning of the vital organs. Social amenities are responsible for much of the early obesity that prevails among the great middle class. Eating and drinking are Inescapable features of all social occasions' and It requires greater strength of character to decline to eat than it does to decline to drink. The use of stimulating flavors or seasonings In the preparation of food, and various tempting sauces or dress ings served with or on the food, causes many to woof down a good deal of superflous nutriment which they would never want, at least In any quantity, taut for the dope.

Ev ery upstairs win dow seems to fea ture a squawk ing parrot and now and then a hard-bitten char acter with a peg leg, a ring in his ear and a vocab ulary suggesting the Span Ish main. Restaurants are all the same kid ney. Almost bare dining rooms with low ceilings and oil cloth cov ered tables. The kitchen Is in full view with fat and perspiring cooks bending over the heat. And always the Inevitable overfed cafe cat and a picture ot Alfonso turned to the wall. Each cafe has a ftxed price, which includes hora d'ouvres, boulllnbalsse, shrimp bisque and little neck clams floating In a thick garlic sauce. Also those hltah-post lengths of crusty Spanish bread. Wine la gratia and the patron may drink all he can hold without frowns by the manage ment. In the Spanish shops nearby are earthenware pots and Jugs straight from Valencia. Wine rooms feature guitarists, castanet dancers and fre quently a retired bull fighter sitting alone to muse over vanquished glory. Anchovies In the section may be purchased for a dime a can. The reopened bar at the eMtropoll tan opera is likely the most crowded drinking saloon In the metropolis during intermission. Here one sees too, the magnificently dressed group of thirsty. Otto Knhn In the swirl of his Inverness cape. The diamond tlsraed Mrs. Prank Storrs, Society's best dressed man, William Ooadby Loew. And so on. The most popu lar tipple Is the champagne cocktail and a thimble of cognac. Few newspaper men are r-Uady opera goers. The most consistent tn New York Is Karl K.

A healthy, fairly active young adult requires, say, 3800 calories a day to keep him or her at normal wight. In a well balanced ration the neces sary calories are derived from Z ounces of protein, yielding 420 calor ies; 3 ounces of fat yielding 830 cat or lea: and 14 ounces of starch or sugar yielding 1550 calories. Note that the easy to eat carbo hydrates, the cheap and always avail able starchea and sugars and bread stuffs and potatoes constitute the mainstay of maintenance. These same carbohydrates are not only easy to eat, but easy to digest, and a quick source of energy on all occasions. In fants and children soon learn to like "pap" and manufacturers find It profitable to sell such manufactured baby foods. The carbohydrate keeps the baby fat and satisfied for a while. But It does not properly nour ish the Infant, even though It makes him fat. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Girl Wanted We 11 ye tn the country 30 miles from , have two sons S and 2 years of age, and would like to adopt a little girl about 14 months old. Can you perchance suggest where we might find such a child? (P. H. S.) Answer Your doctor or any good doctor In the town near which you live would be likely to know. I have given up the attempt to put people who wish to adopt children In touch with people who have them for adop tion.. It la essential to have the In tent examined by your physician, to make sure the child is healthy. Warts My druggist charged only 50 cents to put up the formula you suggested for warts. My warts were on the sole of my foot and quite painful. The mixture you suggested quickly -relieved the soreness and presently the warts disappeared. Ans. Now If I only knew what I suggested for your warts it might be a help. Here are some wart reme dies. 1. Paint wart and skin around It once a week with tincture of lodln. 2. Rub wart with a drop of castor oil every day. 3. Paint wart but not surrounding skin wtt.h the corn rem edy 30 grains of salicylic acid in one-half ounce of flexible collodion,' once a day for a week or two. (Copyright, 1934, John P. DUle Co.) Ed.

' WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. (Special.) Oregon Is considered teacher's pet by many other states aspiring to the big red apples handed out by the P. W. A, Having received her "quo ta" long ago, the "Little Orphan An nie" state has had more public work's blessings heaped upon her than the easterners will agree she la entitled to. Ask If she might not even receive still more, Secretary Harold L. Ickes, in a private interview today smiled and said: "That is not entirety Impossible." He went on to explain that the ad ministration was not concerned so much with geography as with the soundness and feasibility . of the plans submitted, and the possibili ties of putting men to work. - "The entire program now Is halt ed for lack of funds. Further prog ress will depend largely upon the appropriations alloted by congress," he said. "New projects, however, msny of them highly meritorious, are coming In every day." ., The Interview came after one of the secretary's regular semi-press conferences, held each Tuesday and Thursday In his office. These are attended by between 30 and 40 ac credited members of the press, w.ho certainly ask questions like veterans ponderous queries about the in tricacies of ail administration Ir regularities cropping up in housing corporation projects (whatever they are), etc. , Secretary Ickes claims be learns more from the reporters than he Imparts to them. That, of course, is polite flattery and even newspaper men can sometimes take it. If there is anything about his Job that Mr. Ickes hasn't at his finger tips before the press conference opens, it isn't very important anyway. The man has a sense of humor, evidenced in a dozen whimsical lit tle ways during - these half hour meetings. He delights In leaving the impression that his publicity di rector, Michael Strauss, dictates his utterances. "What did you decide I should say about that, Mike?" he will ask, turn ing In exaggerated concern to the ex-newspaper man. Or he'll eay to the reporters: "I'll have to wait un til Mike has passed on this question. When the questions come too fast for coiVierance Secretary Ickes will take several quick puffs of his cig arette and hide himself behind a thick veil of smoke for a few sec onds. Suddenly, .he'll sweep the grey mist to one side and emerge to answer the query which suits him best. His prize trick Is this: After a every year, regardless of who pays the expense) that I am convinced that there Is no real harm done 'to them no', not in any way, when we make it necessary for them to "do their part" in helping to bear the burdens of government, under which they are benefited and protected. I feel that the tax should be made as light as Is reasonable on the plain necessities of life: and Increased pro portionately on the unnecessary lux uries. This will, first or an, neip to distribute the tax burden; and it will help put the heavier burden where It can more easily be borne. Here, for instance, we have a family of seven, with five children who are just through school. They live in a rented house; and because they are not wealthy, have spent only a few hundred dollars per year for the plain necessities. Will they not feel more self-respecting and Independent If they know thst they are sharing In the burdens of government? Now. under our present system they have not done so. Right across the street from them live another family of seven. Five children from this family have also passed through our schools. But this family la quite wealthy. They live in a rented house; and all their wealth Is invested In non-taxable bonds and securities so that they have paid no tax. though taking part In all the privileges of American citi zenship. This same man waa in volved In a lawsuit which cost the taxpayers thousands of dollars. One son of the other family waa also prosecuted for an unspeakable crime which also cost many thousands. These are not far-fetched pictures. Mr. Editor: we have seen such things many times. Now, out in the country Just on- ( mile lives another couple on a small farm. The man Is the brother of the rich fellow. His wife Is the sister : of the poor man. These are all blood ; relation; yet the last couple have no i children. They have several thou- i sands of dollars Invested in houses ; and lands. They own both the prop- ; erttca where their relatives live. They j have this fine, small farm. Their tax j burdens have grown stesdlly from i year to year until they are at the breaking point. Everything they have Is in sight. The farm has paid so little the last three yesrs that the ' taxes are unpaid. They have helped pay for the education of their rela tives, and for the prosecution of crime: but they are about knocked out How will they vote on the tax measure? How will the others vote? Hcnest, poor people will feel better to help share the burdens. Our hon est rich are and have been willing to "do their part." It Is every one of the other two cjawes which we hope to reach through the sales tax. The man who buys a few hundred dollars worth of goods should pay a little.

OlatfJ Coin Possible Ickes Informs in Interview particularly labored and sometimes halting question has been put to .him, he'll declare he hasn't "heard anything about the situation," and with an air of sympathetic concern, he'll beg the reporter to telll him about It. This, of course puts the reporter on the spot and takes the secretary off. But, on the whole, the reporters are fond of .him, and pass consider able repartee back and forth before the conference actually gets under way. They also know that he will play square with them on the news that really matters. Often, he will give Instructions to his secretary to open up the files for them on mat ters which had been denied them a few minutes before by the public ity department. When he doesn't want to be quot ed he prefaces his remarks by "Well then, off the record, so and so." He proceeds from there to tell them frankly some situation, which could never be printed, but which furn ishes the newspaper men a back ground for their stories, enables them to write more Intelligently. Asked about his newly acquired responsibilities in Investigating ir regularities in the civil works ad ministration. Secretary Ickes was quick to allay any gdoubt as to the efficiency of Administrator Hopkins. "Hopkins has been given a hercu lean task, and has handled It excep. tionally well." he declared. "The weakness In the C. W. A. organiza tion was due merely to the fact that It had to be whipped Into running order practically overnlgV;. .It is not surprising that some evidences of graft has crept out In places." He compared the civil works or ganization with the P. W. A., which had been carefully planned, and nec essary safeguards set up before the machinery actually started to oper ate. "Our trouble, however. Is yet to come," .he added. "We shall have to be constantly on the alert, when ac tual construction of these projects commence. Then, there will be dan ger of using faulty material, dishon esty In distribution, etc." One safeguard against this is the placing of investigators and Inspec tors on the locations of the larger projects. As though to counterbalance the weight of topics discussed during his press meetings. Secretary Ickes, ( at least during the last two) has had a beautiful bouquet of large pink carnations on his desk: Asked, at the conclusion of the interview, if he ALWAYS kept pink carnations there, "the second busiest man In Washing ton" took time out to smile again and remark : "No sometimes they are roses."' In proportion. This will be fair In the sight of God and man. JOS. M. JOHNSON. Central Point, Ore., Jan. 31. BIRTHS Mr. and Mrs. R. E.
