Long, Hard War

termined to relegate Japan to a
minor place in world affairs.
He sees no. possibility of a
popular revolt against the Japa
nese military dictatorship. Nor
does he see any possibility of an
economic collapse in Japan. We
might as well make up our
minds, he says, that Japan will
' have to be defeated in war.
pearl Harbor and the ensuing
swift campaigns in the Philip
pines, Malaya, the Dutch East
Indies and Burma were no swift
ly impulsive developmert on the
part of Japan, Dr. Fisher told his
' audience. Preparation for all of
these campaigns was going on
openly in Japan during nearly
all the years he was there, even
to the green paint on the faces of
Japan's jungle soldiers. Years
ago, he says, he saw the tactics
for these jungle campaigns being
practiced openly in and near
japan's great cities and heard
Japanese military and naval of
ficers laugh derisively when the
British turned the guns of their
great citadel at Singapore to the
aea only. They were even then
planning to take Singapore from
, the rear.
Preparation
t Years before the war began
in Europe uie japs were teacn.
ing their soldiers to swim in
heavy field equipment so that
Hongkong and Singapore could
be taken from across the water
' when the time came. All this
he cited as evidence of the long
preparation they have made for
the war.
Russia and Japan, he said in
answer to questions, are heredi
tary enemies, and their present
non-aggression treaty is merely
a truce that deceives neither
side. The Western Aleutian Is-
lands, he thinks, must be re
taken from the Japs at whatever
cost may be necessary, as they
are not only advanced bases for
invasion of Alaska, which is del
Initely on the Japanese program
but in addition are flank threats
to any help we may try to give
to Russia as well as listening
posts to detect and report hours
in advance American Dooming
expeditions against Japan, thus
warning the Japanese of the ap
proach of our bombers and enao
ling them to be ready.
No Lot for Nails
Japan has no love for Ger
many, he answered a questioner,
and whenever the interest of
the two come into conflict there
will be war. Japan, he says, en
leteti the axl In piqua because
of her treatment as an inferior
race by Britain and the United
States.
As proof of his assertion that
no love is lost between trie uer
mans and the Japanesehe cited
the fact that large numbers of
Jews have found sanctuary in
Japan and receive protection
despite angry protest by Ger
many. Siberia, Australia and Alaska,
he told his hearers, are all def
initely within the orbit of Ja
pan's war alms, and can not be
dismissed as scenes of future con
flictwhich may begin any
lime.
Dr. Fisher was introduced by
Pelos Mills, president of Rotary,
who In turn was introduced by
Lee Jacobs.

IN SABOTEUR CASE
(Continued from Page Ppe
isdiction of a military commis
sion declared during his argu
ment today that only one of the
men had any Intention of com
municating with Germany.
That one was named by Col
onel Kenneth Royall, one of the
officers assigned to defend the
eight nazis before the pane! of
seven generals, was Edward
John Kerling.
Portugal Address
Kerling, leader ot the group
of four explosive-laden men who
landed from a submarine at
Ponte Vedra, Fla., had an ad
dress in Portugal which could
be used as a relay point for com
munications intended for Ger
many. Attorney General Biddle, dis
cussing the validity of the mil
itary commission established by
President Roosevelt to try eight
alleged nazi saboteurs, told the
supreme court today that the
president could not be made
answerable to it while acting as
commander-in-chief of the na
tion's armed forces.
He expressed this view in
response to a question by Justice
Jackson while arguing in opposi
tion to a petition by seven of
the eight nazis who came from
Germany by submarine for a
writ which would take them out
of the custody of the military
commission before which they
are on trial for their lives.
The central issue before the
court is the contention of coun
sel for the prisoners that a prcsi
dential proclamation denying
them the use of the civil courts
and ordering a military trial is
"totally Invalid and unconstitu
tional."

"It is our responsibility to win
the war, to win it as quickly us
possible, and to win it with the
least possible sacrifice ot Amer
ican lives," he declared.
"To accomplisn this wc must
have skilled, hardened soldiers
who are belter prepared und
more highly proficient in the
science oi wanare than our en
emies whose preparation for this
conflict extends over a period
of ten years and longer."
Missed Point
Concluding that Stimson has
"missed the point of immediate
seriousness" involved in the
northwest 'harvest, Nye asked
for a conference with the war
secretary.
Nye asserted that the recent
deferment for 30 days of men re
cently called for induction in the
army was "only scratching the
surface" of the need. '
"I am reaay to agree that
our paramount concern at the
moment is that of affording a
military power, but afier ail,
there is a tremendous heap of
military power in the producing
and saving of an adequate food
supply," Nye said.

and California avenue to prevent
any fires that sweep the hills
frorn entering the city. In addi
tion, Ambrose and men selected
from crews on duty have been
attending, to individual requests
to have lots burned off in the
order the requests are received.
"we cant begin to keep up
with the long waiting list
ahead, he said, ' and I should
like to urge persons to under
take burning weeds on their own
property or adjacent vacant lots.
This can be done safely. If a
few simple precautions are ob
served." Here Is how it should be done.
First obtain a permit from the
fire department. Cut weeds
back a few feet from fencesj
trees or other Inflammable ob
jects. Have a garden hose on
hand long enough to reach
around the area to be burned.
Burn against the wind, prefer
ably in the morning. Burning at
night is prohibited by order of
Lt..Gcn. DeWitt, commander of
the western defense area. Don't
leave the fire until the last spark
1.1 out. '
Ambrose cautioned people to
haul away trash piles which
have accumulated before at
tempting to burn an area or re
questing the fire department to
do so. The fact that these smold.
er for a long time creates an un
necessary hazard and slows up
the work of the firemen in burn
ing off vacant lots.
