(Associated Press 8taff Writer.)
NEW YORK, Aug. 27. (pi Three
developments hove given rise to con
cern as to whether the frequently
predicted Russo-Japanese-Germanic,
war is approaohlng:
1. The Initial success of Admiral
Horthy, Hungarian regent, , In hla ef.
forts to create a strong antl-sovlot
front of middle European nations, In
cluding Germany. . .
3. The report from Berlin that
the German government Is about to
double compulsory military service to
two years because of "Russian mili
tarism." .
3. The Russian eharge that Ger
many and Japan are about to con
clude an alliance and are riding for
war. .
Horthy, Hitler Confer.
Adrlmal Horthy, en route for a hunt
ing trip in the Austrian Alps, went
quietly Into Bavaria last week-end
for a "secret" conference with Adolf
Hitler, who has boen working vigor.
ously along similar lines and who
recently renewed his attack on Rus.
tia because of soviet activities In
connection with the Spanish revolt.
The nar.i dictator la said to have
fjlven Horthy his support for a pro
posed tripartite parloy among Ger
many, Austria and Hungary to plan
an antl-bolshevlst drlvo. Moscow al
ready has called Poland a potential
enemy and an ally of Germany.
Only three weeks ago the soviet
press charged that Gormany was try
ing to effect this very line-up, with
warlike Intentions. The newspapers
revived the report which has been
circulating throughout Europe that
mere was an ainanco between Ger
many and Japan for concerted action
against Russia.
Russia In Had Spot.
Whether such an alliance exists or
la In prospect, it Is obvious that Rus
sia la sitting between the Jaws ot a
powerful vise which might start
squeezing at any time.
Both Russia and Japan long have
been talking openly of the probabil
ity of war between them, and lust as
openly have been rushing military
preparatlona to meet any eventuality,
Germany haa Indicated two objec
tives It she should engage In a war
against Russia: The elimination ot
what the rclch calls the communistic
inenaco to Europe, and territorial ex-t-anslon
at tho expense of Russia.
The Russian territory most often
cited In Berlin Is the rich Ukraine.

being erected on the western bordei

to shoot his barbed shafts at Moa

A striking Indication of the temper
of the orient was given this week
when Japan's army headquarters in

that nine alleged soviet citizens had
been executed at Hilar and as others
sentenced to prison on the charge of

In Disputed Region.
Hilar nestles In a hotly disputed
boundary region near tho Junction
of the Japanese sponsored state of
Manchoukuo and the republic of
Mongolia, winch Is under soviet In
fluence, and Siberia. There have
been many untoward lncldonts In
this region.
Russia haa concentrated troops and
the requisites of war on her eastern
seaboard. She haa created great air
and submarine basos, and has perfect
ed her communications across Siberia,
Nippon has consolidated her poal

on the mainland, she has beon work

The question of what attitude
would be adopted by other European
nations In event of a Russo-Japanese-Germanic
war Is one which prob
ably the heads of states themselves
could not answer at this time.
Dlctntors at Peace.
Moscow has charged that there Is
p secret understanding between Ger

be. the once open hostility between
riotators Hitler and Mussolini haa
given way to an armlatlce which ap

admits that neutrality would be a

on such a war without first having

Sherman, In his
famous book (Chemistry of Food and
Nutrition), "is probably more often
deficient In calcium than In any
other chemical element."
Milk, cheese (all kinds) , eggs, green
leafy vegetables, dried beans, peanuts,
turnips, carrots, oatmeal, dried
prunes, almonds, walnuts and plain
wheat are the richest sources of food
calcium. But even If you make It
a rule to Include milk and-or eggs
and two or three other Items from
thla list In your dally ration, that Is
not an. you have still to assimilate
the calcium, and that lan't all. You
havo still to utilize It In building or

Not only has

He dresses nightly, knows his csrte

metabolism in cases of hypothyroid

doses of lodln for the same purpose.
I think every arthritic patient should
have a regular lodln ration Irrespec
tive of treatment of the disease. In
fact, I recommend an lodln ration for
every man, woman and. child in the
country who Is not under medical
care, and I do not believe it ever
does any harm. Of course one un
der the care of a physician should
take an lodln ration only with thj
knowledge and approval of the phy

sunlight in the north, even diffuse
light or "skyshlne," Is essential for
normal metabolism. On this faot I
base my opinion that nakedness or
partial nakedness, when comfortable,
1b always healthful: bare legs or bare
knees all winter, if the youngsters
find that fashion comfortable, should
not be frowned on because they
weren't fashionable when grandma

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
FOF years the East (including, of
course, the Middle West) has
fought Western reclamation. Back
thero, they believe that increasing
production on the reclaimed and Irri
gated rich lands of the West provides
too much, competition for their own
products. . '.
So, human nature being as it Is,
they oppose Western reclamation and
Irrigation. .
THIS year's serious drought, follow
ing tho almost equally severe
drought of 1934, ought to bring to
the East and the Mldweat some real
ization of tho broad national value
of Western reclamation. But for the
reclaimed and irrigated lands of the
West, the effects of the drought on
the country as a whole would be
much more severe.
TWO droughts In close succession,
coupled with the AAA policy of
planned scarcity, have exhausted ac
cumulated surpluses and loft the
country relatively bare ot essential
foods and feeds.
- We are not facing famine, of course,
for In these modern days of swift and
comparatively cheap transportation
there Is no such thing as famine for
any nation possessing wealth enough
to buy what it needs. Food shortages
in one country are overcome by im
portations from other countries.
But we are definitely facing the
fact that the United States, one of
the world's greatest food-producing
countries, must IMPORT foods heav
ily this year.
THE effect of these necessary 1m-
portatlona will be to REDUCE
the wealth of the United States and
INCREASE the wealth of the coun
tries from which we must buy.
HERE Is the point, so far as broad
national policy Is concerned:
The heavy production of "the re
claimed and Irrigated landa of the
West, uninterrupted by drought, has
added to the natlon'a TOTOL crop
production and so has reduced the
amount of Importation necessary.
The production of these rich and
drought-free Western landa Is also
helping to hold down extreme rises
In price and thus tends to lighten
the consumer's drought burden.
(The consumer, you wnow, bears
the burden of drought along with
the producer. Scarcity raises the
price and thus adds to the cost of
living). '
THE East hss Insisted for years that
reclamation and Irrigation In the
West are local pork-barrel matters.
The lesson of the 1936 drought, fol
lowing the 1934 drought, Is that rec
lamation la NOT a local pork-barrel
policy, designed to benefit the West
at the expense ot the East and the
Middle West.
Instead, it Is a bvoad national pol
icy, benefiting the country as a whole
In the Inevitable periods of crop
shortage. (You will remember, per
haps, some firjures from Washington
recently showing that of tho last 60

years more than 20 have been either

crop production in either case being
reduced). j
IN GOOD years, with surpluses accu

of the broad national benefits ot. rec
lamation and Irrigation, but the In
evitably following years of scarcity
provo'these beneflts beyond all doubt.
