Advertising is a sugg tive bui not an impelling force. It is the custom in Polynesia to massage down the nostrils of a baby as soon as it is | born into the fashionable negroid flatness. In other countries with a large mixed pop ulation, the nostrils of a newly born child are squeezed to avoid the tell-tale flatness. | a letter from | CRUMBUING OF THE JAPS The wiser the man the less he is given to predicitng. This is ihe outstanding vea- | son why Prime Minister Churchill, in his speech last Sunday, would not predict any- | thing about the war, not even that the Allies would win another victory, but he did ven- ture the opinion that the war would be over in Europe before the Japs are brought io vheir knees. What is the mass psychology of che Japs pertaining to their emperor? | their lives readily.to save his. Everybody | who has read to any appreciable extent about the Japanese is aware of that fact. As that is granted, this point has been advanc- | ed by a Key Wester, who has read a great | deal about Japan and ihe Japanese: When the Allies begin to bomb Japan on a scale comparable to the bombing of England or Germany, What will be upper- most in the minds of the Japanese people? The imminent danger, during airplane | raids, of the emperor's being killed, and the | further danger of the entire imperial fam- | ily’s being wiped out. | In what way could those raids be | stopped? They most surely could not he | stopped by Japanese fighter planes or anti- | aircraft guns, no more than Englnad was | able to stop the terrible German raids or Germany is now able to stop the just as ier- rible RAF raids. The only way the Japs ‘will be able to bring an end to the raids | would be to bring an end io che war. The Japs may be stoical; they may | have no fear whatever of death, but just che same ihey are human beings, who love their homes just the same as the people of other ccuntries love their homes. Add then ihe pe: sibility of the imperial family’s being | killed in raids to the destruction of the iin- | der boxes that pass for homes in Japan, and we have what will be the major factors in compelling Japan to sue for peace. This writer believes that the the bombing of Japan is done systematical- ly the quicker will peace come in the Pacific -cheater of war. Besides, Japanese warlords are aware by now that the Jap navy is no match for the American Navy. They have clashed at \ Midway, in the Coral Sea and at the Solo- sooner i decisively defeated. Further defeats in ihe scuthwest Pacific will pave the way for ithe Almerican Navy to get closer to Japan, but meanwhile this writer believes American air squadrons will bomb Japan from China. The bombing has been done once, thouga the public does not know from what starting point, and anything that is done once can be done again. With all due respect to Prime Minister | Churchill, this writer believes the Japs will crumble before the Germans. BERLIN COMPLIMENTS RED ARMY German broadcasts pay tribute to the stubborness of Russian troops, defending Stalingrad “with a bitterness unmatched in this war.” German military observers say that Russian resistance is so desperate that it is | impossible to predict when the city will be captured. ‘They assert that the Russians “will certainly not capitulate.” Berlin tells of a “bitter fight for every ndividual house in Stalingrad environs” and describes elaborate mine fields and a deep system of thickly studded fortifica- | tions. While the Russians may duplicate | their successful defense of Moscow and | Leningrad, it is not probable that the Ger- mans will manage to take the city on the Volga. This year the German strength is con- centrated on a limited sector of the vast front in Russia, with concentrations of | planes, tanks and manpower seeking to break the Russian strong points The occupation of Stalingrad by the Germans would be a serious loss to the Rus- sians but it would be no dec’sive blow. While traffic on the Volga might be inter- | rupted, it is well to remember that in a few weeks winter weather will close the river for commerce anyway. It may: be reasonably presumed that s have accumulated supplies in | fight on, regardless of what happens at | Stalingrad and the Caucasus region. Work hard, be stingy and hang on io your money—your children will then have | the time of their lives flinging it over the | territory faster than you made it, so why | leave large fortunesto make your children a worthless lot. Why is it, that when men or women act like children, they always imitate the worst traits of childhood? To give © mons, and in each instance ihe Japs were | desperately the interior, and that the Red Army will | THE KEY W: \ Leomine con at i 000,000 VARIETY OF OFFERINGS WILL SUIT EVERY TYPE INVESTOR By Edward H. Sims The Treasury of the United States will ask the people of this country for $9,000,000,000, the largest single financing operation any government has ever at- tempted anywhere. This new flo- tation will be sold by an inten- sive campaign which will enlist !thousands of volunteer workers who will seek to canvass every potential investor in the United States. TREASURY WANTS $9,000,- | There are two purposes in this campaign. The first is evident— the nation needs money to fi- nance its huge war effort. The} second seeks to lure money from sources which have not hereto- fore been touched. If it suc- ceeds in doing this, it will ease the load on commercial banks which have so far in this war |carried the greater part of gov- ernment financing. Thus, infla- tion of bank dit may be avoid- ed which will help to solve the} problem of price controls. == 1 To further the program, the} Treasury has provided a great} variety of offerings. There will} be the continued sale of war] savings bonds and tax savings notes. In addition, a two and aj half per cent, twenty-six bond, exclusively for non- banking investoi ill be puti on “tap” for purchase over a pe-, riod of weeks. For the banks} and other investors seeking aj banking tvpe of security, there are to be two series—a one and |three-quarters per cent, six and a half-year bond, and a_ seven- eights of one ver cent, one-year certificate. To these will be added the weekly sales of “dis-! count _ bills. The plan is to} raise one-half of the scheduled; $9,000,000,000 from the banks; and one-half from non-banking} lenders. year Another of the advantages~ of! this huge program is that it will enable the Treasury to postpone fany additional borrowing until |February. From then on, the; ,plan is to finance every other} |month; instead of every month as heretofore. thus making pos- sible larger offerings with more intensive campaigns. 1 While to the average Ameri- jcan $9,000,000,000 is a lot of money, when one remembers | Todav’s Birthdays Ezra Stone, actor, born New Bedford, Mass., 25 years ago.
