They're in the ARMY Now- But STILL Behind the Plow A SOLDIER'S first duty Is not to die for his country, but to survive and let the enemy do the dying. This, too, is true of a soldier called Bust ntst. It's in the Army now. Al though (till behind the plow, the counter, and the lathe, Busi ness has become our second line of ofjemi. As a soldier, it's the first duty of Business to keep alive and fit. Yet survival is often a problem bordering life in a fox-hole particularly for Lit tie Business, which is really vastly bigger than Big Business. Everywhere Chambers of Com merce are easing the strain. In the West, where there's Infinitely more Little Business than Big, Chambers of Com merce sre helping Business rus tle its own rations, wangle its own equipment, and keep its powder dry. Standard is back ing up appreciation of a grand job by renewing its member ships in 370 such organizations. Wartime dislocations arc likely to make a company like ours look for places to trim sail. But this is no such place. Instead, Standard is aiding Chambers of Commerce, even in communities where ft has neither offices nor employees. It's another investment in America for today, and for tomorrow.

"Japan cannot win a long war with the allied nations," declared James R. Young, former corres pondent in Tokyo and the Far East, who lectured before a large audience at the high school audi torium last night. "She has no great reserves of essential mate rials and food and will not be able to bring these from conquer ed territory in any considerable quantity. When ships are sunk and planes brought down, Japan has no replacements." Mr. Young said Japan counted on delivering a knockout blow in the first few months of the war and having failed in this had lost the war in spite of the impressive early victories. He also warned against the beginnings of a move ment to sue for a negotiated peace, pointing out that a great many people would be deluded in this because it was cloaked in religion. "The recent dispatch from Japan quoting the nation a Christian leader as saying Jap anese people prayed daily for peace was cooked up for release in this country alone. Use ot the word 'peace' Is forbidden in Japan and people are forbidden to congregate In numbers for prayer. He further asserted that "it is Impossible to nego tiate with thugs and gangsters." U. S. Policy Blamed Mr. Young laid'a great deal of blame for the war in the Pacific on the United States foreign pol icy, pointing out that had the state department pursued a firm er policy beginning with Japan's invasion of Manchuria, war would In all probability have been averted. "The planes which bombed Pearl Harbor probably used gasoline bought from this country last summer," he said. He denounced "cream puff diplo macy" and asserted that many of the leading men in the state department controlling the Far Eastern policy had never been in the Orient and had no first hand knowledge ot conditions or the workings of the Oriental mind. A much stricter policy should be enforced at once in regard to enemy aliens in this country, the speaker declared. "The Japan ese are a tricky people," he warned, "and it is Impossible to tell a loyal alien from the fifth columnist in most cases. They should be all interned in concen tration camps for the duration of the war." Blow Long Planned Copies of maps and books taken from Japanese which out line In detail the attack upon Pearl Harbor and subsequent events were displayed by Mr. Young. He also displayed a copy of a report of a meeting of the Black .Dragon Society held In J).pan last August at which plans for the attack upon this country were made. These reports were laid before the state department and other officials long before December, Mr. Young asserted, but were brushed aside with the reply "peaceful negotiations are in progress." Mr. Young stated that as In many other nations, the mass of the people are opposed to aggres sive wars and that Japanese pris ons are full of people who at tempted to slop the activities of the Japanese army and of the Black Dragon society. He also said that the emperor Is kept virtual prisoner and hear only what his advisors want him to hear. When interviews are sought with the emperor the reply is "God cannot be disturbed." It Is not impossible that the Japanese will attempt an in vasion of the Pacific coast In dustrial areas, Mr. Young de clared, because the soldiers are unconcerned at the prospect of death. Mr. Young added that he felt it extremely unlikely that the United States navy would permit any considerable force to reach the Pacific coast. Japan Vulnerable Mr. Young predicted that within a short time Japanese in dustrial cities would be reduced to virtual ruins by allied bomb ers. He pointed out that once reached, the nation presents an easy bombing problem with all Industries located In a small heavily congested area approxi mately the distance from Seattle to San Diego.
