CHINA FIGH Japan’s suggestion that China join Nippon in a race war-against England and the United States would fall on more fertile fields were not the Japanese record of aggression against China what it is. Realizing now | her great mistake in attacking the United States while ' still at war with the giant but patient Chinese natian, | Japan is making powerful efforts to tempt China out | annex, either by conquest or political shenanigans, various bits of Chinese territory. In 1910 they annexed Korea; in 1932 Manchuria was taken over; the province of Jehol, along” the Chinese border, was sliced off in 1933 and was put under control of the Japanese war lords In 1935 the Chinese provinces of Chahar and Hopei were replaced under Japanese domination. Tt was in 1937, just before soldiers of China began action resistance, Japan set up its own independent government in Pieping. In face of that record, and remembering the [horrors and atrocities which Japanese ttoops have committed against the racial brethren in the years since 1937, there is little wonder that Chinese leaders refuse to place any credence in the Japs' current offers; refuse to join in any program to defeat England and the United States in the Far East. China realizes that the defeat of these two western allies would result in her own engulfment by her present foes in the Pacific. Education of a Princess (New York Times) Next year the Princess Elizabeth will be 18. Then she will be of full age and as old as Victoria was when she came to the throne. In the.theory of the common law the sovereign can't be called a minor, but there have been English Regencies off and on since the thirteenth century. Queen Victoria's mother, the Duchess of Kent, was appointed Regent till Victoria should come of age. Prince Albert ap- pointed Regent in case any of Queen Victoria’s chil- dren should succeed to the crown under age. —After the accesion of George V a Regency Bill had to be passed because his eldest son was under age, and | Queen Mary was appointed. | Up to 1937 a Regent couldn’t be appointed with- | out the signature of the sovereign. The Regency Act of that year provides for the appointment of the Regent by three or more of these Councilors: the royal spouse, the Lord Chancellor, the Speaker of the | | House of Commons, the Master of the Rolls, the Lorg | Chief Justice. The Regent is to be the next person | in succession, net disqualified under the Aet of Settle- | ment of 1707. -He must be a British subject of full | | home duties for any line of public RAPPY BIRTHDAY OCTOBER 12 Mrs, George Getchell Thomas L.

HEART AND HOME: Women are well directed under this configura- tion. Girls will find the evening auspicious for romance. Under this rule of the stars Summer love af- fairs are . likely to become serious. This is a favorable date for starting in any new line of employment, but there is a sign that is read as unfor- Lunate for women who must neglectl service or for any war industry task. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: According to certain seers the future of agri- culture in the United States is to be wonderfully successful. Lessons carned in. war emergencies will prove of great value to American farmers who will develop the same sort of efficieney which has attend- age, living in Great Britain.

Bue to these and other difficul- ties, Pelroleum Administrator Ickes wrote a letter to Secretary of War Stimson calling the pipeline im- practical. As a result, Secretary Stimson, ordered its . construction stopped. However, Gen. B. B. Som- | ervell later was able to proceed with it and the line is now more than half built, or perhaps more. Recently the Truman Committee | sent a delegation of three Senators | to Alaska and they have brought| back an extremely critical report.| They are in doubt whether the| pipeline can be finished in time to serve any real military value in Alaska. When finished, they doubt whether it will be able to move oil| al. temperatures of 70 degrees below | zexo. Finally they are not sure that ' there is too much oil in North Can- ada to pump, anyway The Senators also report that oil prospectors.are now busy in North- | em Canada locking for oil—at gov-! ernment expense. They also report that although the cost of the.pipe-| lipe was supposed to be $31,000,000, agtually the cost of the entire pro-) ject will be many times that much.| They cannot get a figure from the War Department as yet, but it is whispered that it may run as high| |3 as_$200,000,000. !
