Are We Going to War?
COME time Jgo this column predicted that, in this far eastern
crisis, history would repeat itself.
In spite of this country overwhelming determination to
keep out of war, Japan we prophesied would soon be playing
the role, Germany played, when the Kaiser's battle-grey legions.
marched through Belgium. And that if the Chino-Jap war
lasted for three years, Uncle Sam would be in that war, by 1940,
as it was in the world war by 1917.
IN the light of present developments, that prediction appears
conservative. The popular feeling against Japan today, is
fully as intense, and far more universal, than it was against
Germany in J914. If Japan HAS any friends or defenders in
this country, they have not to date become vocal.
In 1914, President Wilson's first official cognizance, of the
war in Europe was to demand a strict neutrality in word and
deed. The man in the street soon interpreted this executive
order, with characteristic Yankee humor and realism.
"Sure I air. neutral" quoth he, "I don't care who licks
Germany 1"
IITHEN Japan, started its armed invasion of China, this
country had, and still has, a strict neutrality law, binding
itself to aid no country at war, and to confine its efforts to
prevent war, to "peaceable procedure only."
But what do we see nowt The President of the United States
urging world wide action against Japan, and the state( depart
ment formally condemning the Japanese invasion of China.
Today a boycott against Japan is being seriously discussed in
Washington.
Could such action be interpreted as adopting "peaceable
procedure onlyf Boycotting a nation at war, has never been
so accepted. According to press dispatches from Washington
today, the United States could not join in such a boycott, until
the neutrality act had been amended.
Have no four. If President Roosevelt calls a special session
of congress, it will be.
And so we tumble along, willy-nilly toward another foreign
war I Not that there is any declaration of war against Japan
in the cards at the present writing. Far from it. But let the
Chino-Jap conflict continue three years more, until Japan,
powerful and war like nation, has conquered China, and enraged
at America's hostility, turns a vengeful and predatory eye.

HPHEN where would we be, ladies and gentlemen t We would
be PRECISELY where we feared we would be in 1917, if
we didn't join the allies, and with every resource at our com
mand, render a German victory impossible.
There was a great dnal of oratory about fighting to make
this country sfe for democracy, but- the real mainspring of our
militant, effort, was to protect this country, from a victorious
Germany. '
Have you forgotten the popular argument at that timet
"Let the Kaiser win in Europe, nnd where would we bet With
Europe at his feot, Uncle Sam would be his uext victim, with
his back to the wall, and no ally to call upon!"
Fantastic, absurd t In the cool perspective of over two de
cades, that may be the verdict, but it certainly wasn't the
verdict in 1917. And it won't be the verdict in 1940, if it
takes Nippon that long to get what she wants in the Far East.
FOR when war is concerned, it isn't what is TRUE, it is what
f lin nas-.nl UVT . IK1 VP ia k liB nt rta T
give us comfort to blame the wicked munition makers, for whip
ping the people of a country into a war frenzy, but give the
people a set of circumstunces that will arouse hate and fear,
add to that the inevitable mob spirit, and the muntion makers
need do nothing but stand pat. go over to a night-and-day shift,
and shovel in tlmir profits.
Those circumstances existed in 1917, they exist potentially
today, and it takes no seventh son of a seventh-son, to see that
the seeds now being sown will bear the. inevitable harvest,
unless in someway peace in the Far Enst is soon restored.
TIIAT is undoubtedly why the Roosevelt administration has
taken such drastic and unexpected action. But, as previ
ously stated, words will never halt Japan, neither will speeches
nor pious resolutions. If any doubt remained, Japan removed
it yesterday ity its defiance of the nine-power conference, before
it has convened.
However, also as before stated Japan could be baited, if
the world powers, all of them joined together against Japan,
m a hard aud fast trade boycott, neither selling to her nor
buying from her, until she called back the dogs of war.
We were interested to see that no less a personage than
Senator Key Pitt man of Nevada, chairman of the senate foreign
relations committee, entirely agrees with the Medford Mail
Tribune (ahem!)
We quote a Reno dispatch:
The chairmen of the eenate forelfn alUira committee.
Senator Key Pitt man, aala today that Japan's invasion of China
oouid be at-ppKl m 30 daya without the firing of e alngle ehot
If other nations would oatraclxe Japan.
He recommended that the "clvtlleed governments" refuse to
have any commercial or credit relations with Japan.
Said tie' "Such action la more power mi than the army or
nsvy of the United States No government can conduct war
under such ostracism." '
That sounds easy doesn't itt And reasonable too, for while
that would cost a few hundred millions, u general war, which
as we see it is the only alternative, would cost hundreds of
billions, and millions of human lives as well.
But will such a boycott ever be declared t Not more than
one chance in a million. And let one industrial nation, properly
equipped with shipping facilities stay out. and such a boycott
would be ineffective, as far as Japan is concerned. For if she
means what she says she is going on with the war in China,
REGARDLESS.
And so long as she can get adequate war supplies from
ibroad. fhe can do this without normal foreign trade and with
Diit credit from abroad. A nation determined to fight doesn't
need money, as long as it has a printing press, an adequate food
supply, and there is no uprising m home.
A'D here we come to the one ray of sunshine in the sur-
rounding gloom as far as the Far Eastern crisis is con
cerned. Not the crushing or checking of Japan from without,
but the break-up of Japan from within.
The other day we told of the 1m
portance of muscular Insufficiency
as a cause of spinal curvature. If
a boy or girl developing spinal curv
ature Is not prop
erly treated more
or less fixed de
formity Is Inev-
1 1 a b 1 e as the
child grows up.
To estimate In
a , given case
whether the
curvature Is still
mainly function
al, measure the
height as the
child stands In
the usual post
tlon. Then see
how much the child can Incrase
the height by standing as tall as
possible. If there Is a difference of
more than one-half Inch the outlook
for correction without surgical treat
ment Is good. Surgical trea tment
Implies chiefly the application of cast
or brace and special corrective exer
cises to be prescribed and supervised
by the physician or orthopedic sur
geon In each Individual case.
The first step In the correction of
functional curvature, which Is due
almost wholly to muscular Insuffici
ency, Is a thorough health txamln
a tlon, Including, of course, careful
consideration of the child's general
hygiene, diet, hours of study, hours
of play.
Nutritional deficiency Is a common
factor of muscular weakness or In
sufficiency and the fatigue and strain
to which the malnourished Individ
a is are subject. This does not mean
that the Individual does not get
enough to eat. Rather It means that
the diet Is deficient In one or more
essentials of optimal nutrition. There
may be a lack of Iron, of lodln, of
phosphorus, of calcium. Moat fre
quently, I believe, the growing child
suffers from deficiency of vitamins,
particularly vitamins D. B and O.
Even If the diet provides adequate
amounts of phosphorus, calcium and
Iron. It Is still necessary that the
dally Intake of vitamins D. B and a
b more generous than ordinary foods
can provide. In order to Insure nor
mal assimilation and utilization of
these elements In metabolism, growth,
vlte. An effective, agreeable and
economical way to supplement the
diet with these vitamins Is the eat
ing of a dozen, more or less, Irra
diated yeast tablets dally. Not or
dinary yeast, which ferments and Is
relatively poor In vitamins; but a
selected strain of yeast which la rich
in erRonterol. Tills does not ferment
In the digestive tract, Is relatively
rich In vitamins, and the ergosterol
In It la converted Into vlosterol, vita

I would advise also a dally ration
of at least two or three ounces of
wheat germ, In one dish or another,
for every young person who has mus
cular Insuflclency, whether spinal
curvature la developing or not. Health
food stores generally have wheat
germ at few cents a pound. A little
of It may be used In any recipe call
ing for wheat flour, or mixed with
any creal dish.
If the young person Is unaccount

any sign of simple goitre, she should
have an lodln ration.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Natural Breathing.
Some time ago you mentioned that
belly breathing might cure pneu
monia. I believe It saved my life.
(T. A. H.)
y Answer we may agree that It did
no harm. I never said It might cure
pneumonia; what I said was that It
may prevent pneumonia. Send ten

RESIDENT ROOSEVELT, depart-
ing from his prepared address at
Chicago, reads the riot act to "war- 1
Inclined nations" (obviously referring
to Japan, Germany and Italy) and i
calls upon the other nations of the ',
earth for "concerted action for res- '
toratlon of universal peace." j
His speech created a sensation
around the world. j
AMERICA'S policy, the President
said at Chicago, should be to
Join In a concerted effort by peace
loving nations to quarantine warlike
nations.
"When an epidemic of physical dis
ease starts to spread," he declared,
"the community Joins In a quaran
tine of the patients In order to pro
tect the health of the community
against the spread of disease."
WHAT he means to Infer Is that
when war threatens to spread
the nations of the world should Join
together to SUPPRESS THE WAR.
IT Is a resounding declaration of
a new policy, delivered with the
President's customary fondness fot
dramatic surprise. But let's not for
get this sober second thought:
War-mad nations can't be quaran
tined with words. It will have to be
done, if It Is done, WITH GUNS.

concerted action the President speaks
of will be as ineffective as the un

THE nations that don't want war
are those that already have

have. The nations that DO want war
are the HAVE-NOTS.
