War With Japan Looms
i
AN insignificant item in today's war news may
prove of vital import to the people of the Pacific
Coast, namely:
"Japanese marines seize 110,000,000 worth of U. B. goods
after battering down a warehouse In Indo-Chlna."
The danger is further emphasized by this item
with a Tokio date line :
"Grand Admiral Erich Raeder has announced In Berlin
that any convoying of supplies to Britain by tha United
States will be an 'open war act and bare unprovoked at
tack upon Germany'."
There is the powder keg with a short fuse, as far
as this part of the country is concerned I '
.....
FOR, if convoying by this country means "an un-
provoked attack on Germany," then by the terms
of this tri-partite axis treaty, this convoying will call
for Japan's entrance into World War No. II against
Great Britain and the United States. And,
If the grape-vine reports from Washington are
correct, President Roosevelt tomorrow night will
come out emphatically for precisely this action.
Finally Indo-China is a French possession, and
the freedom accorded Japanese armed forces there
strongly indicates that not only in Africa, but the Far
East, wherever the French flag now flies, no real
opposition to Axis armed activity is offered.
.....
IN other words the Axis, with French collaboration,
is grimly functioning against the allied world today,
and unless Nippon backs down, and backs down
soon, the time for the grand show-down in the
Pacific has come.
This seizure in Indo-China doesn't indicate such
a "back down," but we still feel that impoverished
Japan has no desire to come
and a strategic retreat, even fall of the Matsuoka
government, may be imminent.
Nor do we believe for a

went down the order was broadcast by the admiralty
that everything else be dropped, as far as the north

So, if the Bismarck gets safely to port, in Ger

PHYSIOLOGY
Relish, desire or craving for,
food Is a normal and rather
pleasant sensation or feeling dif
ficult to analyze but vaguely re
ferred to the
stomach. It In
volves more or
less conscious
anticipation of
the taste or
flavor of the
food one ex
pects to enjoy
presently as a
matter of
course. If
there is seri
ous doubt of
obtaining food
then the agreeable sensation of
a "good appetite" soon changes
into an uneasy state, a feeling
of anxiety, and finally actual
distress or pain In the region of
the stomach hunger pangs.
The mental factor is import
ant. For example, Individuals
who undergo voluntary fasts do
not suffer the distress of hunger
so soon as do individuals who
are deprived of food by circum
stances beyond their control.
Mental Influence has much to
do with "good appetite", too.
Food attractively served in
pleasant surroundings is more
appetizing and mora digestible
than food served In a different
environment. Cheerful atmos
phere and emotions not only
spoil appetite but retard or ar
rest digestion or even reverse
peiirtal.Ms and make the sensi
tive victim sick.
One of the common 'ymptoms
or manifestations of beriberi
(polyneuritis), which is due to
prolonged shortage of vitumln B
complex, particularly thiamin
(Bl) in the diet, is loss of appe
tite. But for months before the
appetite fails the individual de
veloping beriberi suffers loss of
strength, fatigue and sensation
of heaviness and stiffness in
legs, inability to walk any dis
tance, headache, insomnia, ner
vousness, dizziness, shortness of
breath etc. The loss of appetite
is only incidental, but somehow
physicians not abreast of the
newer knowledge of nutrition
have gotten into the habit of as
sociating loss of appetite with
lack of vitamin B. This is a re
grettable error, so far as our
American experience goes.
As I have repeatedly cited
here Prof. Joliffe finds that "a
55 per cent fraction of the cal
ories in the American diet of
1840 containing a minimum of

the average person at that time)
"has been replaced In the con
temporaneous American diet by

(modern refined white flour, re
fined white sugar etc., has been
robbed of most of the vitamins
that grow naturally with such

So it is fairly obviou that
the average person who gives no
particular thought to nutrition
suffers from a shortage of vita

evident that there is no lack of
appetite on the part of the aver
age person with such vitamin B
deficiency on the contrary the
average person with vitamin B
deficiency is likely to be
plagued with excessive appetite

his or her overindulgence in
such food causes the obesity,
overweight and, in some cases,
the ultimate diabetes which so
many vitamin B deficient indi
viduals develop.

for it will end in national dis

this official, the president finds
himself in the position of a man
who has put his entire fortune
on one bet, sees the bet going
sour, but still has the chance
to bet double or quits. Yet if
he doubles up, there is addi

may not be followed by the

Ethelyn Evans
Washington, D. C. (Special
Correspondence) Women's def
inite niche In "home defense"
plan is yet obscure. Even our
society editors are forsaking
'party-patter to write columns
anent the lack of leadership and
definite plans for millions of
women who are ready and anx
ious to take a real and active
part in national defense.
At the last press conference.
Mrs. Roosevelt was asked about
the plans for women which she
told us months ago were on the
president's desk. In reply she
said they had been turned over
to a committee to be worked
into a general "home defense"
set-up. According to newswo
men, .however, judging from
the thousands of letters their
articles have Inspired, women
are . urging a concrete plan,
competent leadership, a n d a
non-political organization all
their own, such as the British
women have.
They would, of course, want
such an organization to be the
"women's branch" of and a def
inite part of the general de
fense scheme which is slowly
being formulated probably
with Mayor La Cuardla of New
York as national administrator.

respondent, Mr. and Mrs.
Reames found time to Join us
for tea at the Cosmos club,
thereby giving these enthusias

of a famous old house, which
has practically been the White
House twice in U. S. history.
Dolly Madison owned the
home, presiding there as a host

Washington, behind the scene,
with a no uncertain hand 'tis
said. Also, Senator Mark Hanna
lived there during the McKin
ley administration and is sup
posed to have held political
Washington in the hollow of his
hand.
Very soon the government
will raze the mansion, which
contains some of the finest ex
amples of beautifully carved
stairways and fireplace mantles,
and the grand old trees that
shade the walled garden will
be uprooted and carted away.
For many years this garden has
been the summer luncheon and
supper spot of the club, where
we could dine and brush elbows
with famous folk from the ends
of the earth leaders In scien
tific, literary and official fields.
The land will be used as the
site of huge office building

Square Opera House." That was
its name when high-stepping
horses hauled open carriages
through deep mud or dust to
deliver presidential and official
parties from the White House
then and now just across Lafay

The disappearance of historic
buildings and priceless old trees
and shrubs has been greatly ac
celerated now that defense
workers are pouring into the
capital. With the exception of
the capltol building and the
White House, Washington may
some day be modern and look
