Former President H. Hoover
made a speech on the interna

honestly disagreed with him,
and the majority from force of
habit
There was a general heglra,
exodus, and skinning out for the
tall timber, and the sad sea
waves by the masses to observe
their independence. There was
the usual excess of bum driving
on the highways and byways.

The July 4th Speech
THE speech delivered by President Roosevelt on
Via ''EVmrrri" cVinnlH wmnve what. HnnVit. mnv nt.il!
exist, that this country is really a participant in the
World War No. 2, although no war declaration has
been made.
Not only does the President speak of the serious
ness of the task, in which the United States IS en
gaged, but he speaks of the impossibility of American
survival, in a totalitarian world, and the necessity
of pledging not only the national will, and labor, but
the LIVES of all citizens, to the maintenance of Amer
ican freedom and independence.
THAT, we believe, is the first direct reierence to a
vifiHTTMfl war. that has come from the White
House, since the conflict in
hv rhanre. the "Man from
tuned in on this declaration by the chief executive of
the United States, he. must naturally have assumed it
was a pronouncement delivered by a country at war.
AND why not?
The puzzling thing is not, that President Roose
velt spoke as he did on Friday, but that he has not
been so frank and direct long before.
The most likely explanation, in this department's
opinion, is that the President believes, that until the
shooting phase of the war starts in, a war declaration
better be avoided. Not until very recently has he re
garded such a phase as imminent.
But with the entrance of Russia into the melee he
does see fighting ahead. He, therefore, decided the
anniversary of American independence, was an op
portune time to warn the American people, that the
talking phase of the conflict has passed, and almost
any day now, the shooting may start.
War With Japan?
WHY should the entrance of Soviet Kussia cnange
tho war nirtnre so vitallv. from the standpoint of
the United States?
The answer is Japan.
In spite of Walter Lippmann's thoughtful prog
noscis, there is no evidence of an American-Japanese
reapproachment in the Pacific, as a result of Hitler's
attack on the U.S.S.R.
In fact up to the present time quite the reverse.
The Japanese government, with characteristic
indirection, refuses to define its position, but does
admit, ft decision has been reached, and there is practi
cally a unanimous belief
. . . . . . .
this decision is pro-nitier
F this belief is well founded, then if and when a
fiprmnn victory in Russia is assured, Japan will
almost certainly clamp down a blockade on Vladivo
stock and the far eastern Siberian coast. For as long
as she remains a member of the Axis, she can't take
the risk of any American interference in that area.
More than that if any temporary armistice could
be secured in China, Japan might even proclaim her
own "der tag" and order her fleet, in an all-out effort
against Singapore and the Dutch East Indies.
In either event, a direct
States would be inevitable, and a clash with gun
powder in it.
THIS is all hypothetical of course. And like Italy,
Tnnnn ta Aaf arrinrr onv final rnmmittmpnt. until
she is quite certain, in her own mind at least, that
Soviet Russia's cause is hopeless.
But there is eood reason
the effect of Russia's participation, in the Far East
rather than in Europe, that impelled President Koose
velt, to abandon all reference to or hope for peace,
in his Independence Day talk.
Never
QUR old pal "Wishful Thinker" bobs up again
with his usual large dish of glad tidings.
Germany is licked in Russia. The blitzkrieg that
was to knock out Stalin
down on some unpronounceable river, which is run
ning red with Nazi blood and carrying log-jams of
Hun corpses to the Black Sea. In another two weeks,
the Red Army will spring its own offensive (which
has been preparing secretly all this time behind the
Stalin line), and Jlitlcr will be fleeing lor his lite to
that bomb-shelter at Beivhtesgadon, etc.. etc., etc.
As a matter of fact this department DOES feel
more hopeful about this Russian clash than any of the
preceding, and will not be surprised to see it mark
the REAL turning point in

There are several notions
prevalent about the effects of
coffee which seem to be based
on nothing more than constant
repetition in certain magazines,
pamphlets and other publica
tions by or for special interests
interests that probably come
to believe the misconceptions
themselves in time.
One such notion is that coffee
makes you "nervous."
For every individual who may
feel more "nervous" whatever
that may be when he or she in
dulges in coffee, there are scores
who need and benefit by the
gentle lift they get from a cup
or two of good coffee in the
morning. Particularly people
who have subnormal metabol
ism. For them coffee is the ideal
stimulant without a "hangover."
Good coffee makes such folk
easier to live with. It cheers
them up a bit, which, heaven
knows, their relatives and
friends can stand.
Another common misconcep
tion concerning coffee is that it
makes one "bilious", whatever
that may be, or at any rate it is
bad for the liver. The poor geeks
who take all these imaginotions
seriously seem to know intu
itively things about the liver
that are unknown to physiolo
gists and physicians. Physiolo
gists and physicians recognize
no such state as "biliousness"
In fact the trick diagnosis of
"bilious attack" Is tantamount
to a confession that the quack
doesn't know or care what ails
you and is willing to play along
with you on any basis you like.
But "biliousness" as a state of
mind may be fairly ascribed to
coffees to bad coffee, in many
Instances. Webster says bilious

CE OF GOOD COFFEE
means "choleric; ill-tempered"
and choler originally meant bile,
to which the ancients attributed
anger or irascibility. That's Ol
Doc Brady's reaction to crime in
the coffee pot, all right. You see,
all coffee is good coffee unless
or until it is boiled.
The instant coffee begins to
boll the aroma or flavor begins
to pass off into the ambient and
only the bitter remains in the
pot. Good coffee is an Infusion.
Bad coffee is a decoction. An in
fusion is a solution made by
soaking in water, cold, tepid,
warm, hot, but never up to the
boiling point. A decoction is a
solution made by boiling and
then straining.

War With Japan?
To the Editor: If you were
listening the other day to the
short-wave broadcast in English
from Japan you heard some
thing like the following: "If the
United States insists on filling
the docks at Vladivostok with
war supplies for Russia, Japan
will feel obliged to take a
hand." By that I feel that war
between the United States and
i Japan is certain as we expect,
and rightly so, to give what aid
we can to Russia.
The advantages of a declara
tion on our part are many. May
I enumerate a few of the most
salient? With the faU of Japan
we are assured of:
1 The absence of any fear of
aggression from the far east.
2 More and greater amounts
of supplies of manufactured war
materials for ourselves and the
Britains which now are shipped
elsewhere.
3 The unchecked flow of the
raw and strategic materials from
the East Indies to tha United
States, Canada and other democ
racies; The cut in the volumes of
military supplies now sent to
Chang Kai Chek in China.
8 The release of the Russian
army now guarding the Russian
boundaries against Japan for
service against Germany.
8 The restoration of Chinese
territory to a people who have
put up a grand resistance against
terrific odds.
7 The advent of a strong
pro-democratic Chinese govern
ment to police the far east.
8 The removal of threats po
tential and otherwise to our
island possessions and Alaskan
territory.
8 The end of colonization
ideas in South American repub
lics by the Japanese.
10 The reduction of a top
world power of a dictatorial
type to that of a second-rate
Balkan kingdom.
11 The opportunity to settle
once and for all the question of
Japanese infestation and aggres
sion on the Pacific coast.
12 A training ground during
the war. for the military of the
United States.
13-rThe opportunity to de
port all Japanese from the Unit
ed States and colonize those who
are American born in restricted
areas.
14 The opening of, the great
est market in the world, China,
to American trade with the op
portunity to establish this trade
while other nations are unable
to take advantage of it.
IS The advantage of having
struck the first blow and more
than likely the deciding blow in
the war to come.

President Can't Declare War
To the Editor: Since the Stars
and Stripes are still waving over
"the land of the free and the
home of the brave", please let
me have my "say".
In one of your editorials for
July 1st you say that it is time
now for the president of the
United States, with the help of
the best experts he can find, to
decide now whether or not the
U. S. should enter foreign war.
As an afterthought you drag in
congress and the Constitution.
I gather that you want con
gress and the Constitution
brought into the matter, as an
act of good form, a sort of old
ceremony, that ought not to be
forsaken, a becoming act of re
spect to something that is old
and once was loved.
Yes, the Constitution is old
and once was loved, it specifi
cally invests the right to make
war in the congress, not the i
presidency.
The brave and wise men who
pledged th.ir lives, their for
tunes and their sacred honor, to
secure in independent govern
ment for tnis country, refused
to entrust to any one man this
great power. They expected
congress, to be a check on the
president. They secured an in
dependent Judiciary to apply
the Constitution to both presi
dent and congress. When our
president takes office he pro
mises to preserve, protect and
defend not the people, not our
wealth, not our religion, not our
liberty but the Constitution
a piece of paper with words
written on It.
The brave and wise men who
endured the sufferings of the
war of 1778. who were chosen
by the common people, planned
for us a constitutional govern
ment not a government of
persons. They placed the real
final power of this land in the
Constitution and placed safe
guards around it. They aimed to
prevent any one man from too
much power. They invested our
three great branches of govern
ment with specific powers. They
said congress should ma.ee and
declare war. They had reasons

for planning this way, and the
states ratified this great docu
ment, and there are many peo
ple today who are giving their
lives, and having their honor
besmirched to uphold it.
I feel that the real dangers to
our country today are invisible
and intangible. One of them is
the tendency to set aside our
Constitution in every time of
crisis.
Won't others who truly be
lieve in "Government of the
people, by the people and for
the people", speak?
