Our Country Right or Wrong JAPAN'S AIMS There can be no question of Japan's inten- tion to absolutely dominate, if possible, all of Asia and the East Pacific, and to com- pletely drive the white races from that vast, rich, little-developed area. For many years Japanese foreign and military policy has been based squarely on the principle of "Asia for the Asiatics," and her statesmen and war lords publicly affirm that doctrine -at every opportunity. "In addition, from recent indications, in-.. credible as it may seem, Japan also intends to dominate and rule the world. Basis for that belief is found in the famous -or infamous-"Tanaka Memorial." This as- tonishing document, so the story goes, was conceived and prepared by Baron Giichi Tan- aka and handed by hiri tL.: Emrperor Hirolitto in July, 1927. The' emperor, the story con- tinues, gave it his sal' of approval and, ever since it. has been the official guide for Jap- anese diplomatic, naval and military strategy. A copy of this memorial, according t' the accepted story, was stolen by a member ot the Russian Cheka. When the text of the memorial was made public, the Japanese gov- ernment promptly branded it a forgery. But Leon Trotsky, who was Soviet war commis- sar at the time of the incident, insisted that it was absolutely genuine and accurately rep- resented Japitn's program for world conquest. The memorial runs to some 10,000 words. It states that Japan must first conquer Man- churia, Inner Mongolia and other provinces -ends which Nippon has .already achieved in whole or in part. It states further that this must be followed by seizure and conquest of the Philippines, Thailand, Malaya, Singapore, the South Sea Islands and Australia. Every- one who has followed the news since that fateful' December 7 of last year, knows what Japan is doing in that direction. These Japanes victories, it continues, will permit the subjugation of India, and once that is accomplished, the way will be paved for invasion of Asia Minor and Europe. And, says the memorial flatly, to achieve these goals, it will be necessary to crush the United States, and defeat Great Britain, Russia and other Pacific and Asiatic powers. Additional evidence of Japan's intentions is found in a speech made some time ago by an .admiral who is now in command of Nip- ponese naval forces. He said that his ambi- tion was to invade, conquer and occupy the Pacific Coast, to drive the defending forces back toward the Middle West, and so even- tually dictate the terms of peace to a help- less president in the White House at Wash- ington. The Japanese have obviously placed great faith in their enemies' indolence, blindness and pacific ways of thinking. That faith has already paid them great dividends. They have built up a highly efficient fifth column or- ganization, which played a major part in the Malaya and Singapore disasters. Experts be-' lieve that a long-established organization ol that kind exists in this country, and that un- less it is destroyed we may suffer a disaster even greater than Pearl Harbor somewhere within our continental boundaries-probably on the Pacific Coast, with its great plane fac- tories, water-power plants, etc. At any rate, all must have learned by now the suicidal 'folly of underestimating Japan, and of believing that we could end a Pacific war with unqualified victory in a matter o0 weeks or months, as we were long told. The Jap is a wily, cruel, fatalistic and intelligent enemy. His weapons and equipment are su- perbly well suited, from a military stand- point, to the various.campaigns hehas undei- taken. He has been checked only by men who are his match in intelligence and foresighted- ness-such as General MacArthur. Wherever he has been opposed by armies headed by commanders who blindly believed that he wouldn't dare to attack them, as in Singa- pore, he has won with relative ease and with astounding speed. We know the aims of both the Japanese and the Germans-now it is up to us to stop them with an all-out effort or become vas- sals of one or both of them. THE WARNING Most of us have our eyes and our. interest centered on the war in the Pacific with Japan but we-should also bear in mind that we are at war with Germany and Italy. Adolf Schickelgruber (Hitler) furnished the world with a blueprint of his plan of world conquest. He has followed the main outline of his schedule. For the western hemisphere he prescribed internal strike, rather than bombs and bullets. He made the declaration that he would "destroy America by setting class against class, race against race, and creed against creed. The soil of every country contains the seeds of this revolution, and they can be made to sprout by. methods of which the Nazis have proved themselves to be the mas- ters." There is the warning, and it behooves every resident of Port St. Joe and Gulf county to check carefully on any wild rumors they might hear, for chances are they will find that there is no basis to them and by re- peating them they would be playing right into the hands of the Axis powers, whoge policy it is to have their agents start such rumors in an effort to demoralize the morale of our citizens. SOMETHING TO REMEMBER What will happen to America after the war is won? How will we meet our rising government debt, change our economy back to -a peace-time basis and continue with our job of making America the best place in the world in which to live? Such problems are causing grave concern in the minds of many Americans at the present time. In a recent speech, Dr. Robert G. Sproul, president of the University ol California, pointed out some facts that should reassure us on these points. After the war, he said, "the land and its resources will still be here; all of the knowl- edge of mankind from the beginning of his- tory to the present will still be ours. . Such adjustments as we may have to make in our social and economic scheme will not destroy our democracy as long as we pre- serve inviolate its central and fundamental principle of respect for and recognition of the dignity and worth of the individual." All wealth springs from the land, and that concept of the individual has always been one of the foundations of our freedom-be- cause of it we are able to work where we please, save our money or spend it, worship as we wish and enjoy all our other liberties. Whatever happens in the months-or years -to come, we must remember that and let nothing destroy it. Looks like in a year or so cows will no longer be a menace on Florida highways. When the last set of tires is worn to the rim, the cows will have the highways all to themselves .......... . Q - C)< CII CD ~~CD n CD u,1(D( "Hold on there!" said I to my daughter last -Saturday morning when I saw her- getting out the big yellow crock and the wooden spoon and the butter .and sugar prepaartory to making our Sunday cake. "Perhaps: we'd better have gingerbread or fruit for dessert in- stead. You know there's a-shortage of sugar and we've got to go mighty easy." "But we have been going easy," she reminded me. "No chocolate sauce for our ice cream last eve- ning. No candied, apples, with the pork the other day, and never any candy. Besides, they, say we'll be allowed. 77 pounds, of sugar for each of us this year, and that's quite a lot." "What do you mean 'quite a lot'?" I asked her. "It's a lot less than we're used to and. everybody is warning us to be careful." "Well, it all depends, on how you look at it,' my philosophical daughter, now a junior .in high school, declared. "If you compare it with what we used to have here in the United States, when. the. sky was the limit, it isn't much. But when you compare it with what they ate before the. war. in other countries, we're still rolling in sugar." "Do you happen to know how much they did eat in these other countries?" I asked, pinning her down. "It's all in my school notebook. Just wait until I get it." And Tn another few minutes she, was giv- ing me chapter and: verse on the world sugar situation Maybe you'll be as surprised as I was at the actital'facts. It seems that in 1937 and 1938 when things- were still going along in a fairly normal way, the aver- age Frenchman ate only 55 pounds of sugar per year, in spite of all their wonderful little gateauss" and fancy chocolate concoctions. The Russians ate only 29 pounds per person, and the Poles 28. The Dutch, whom we've always thought of as- living very well, ate about 64 pounds of sugar each year. In Great Britan they had a much sweeter lime with 109 pounds. per person, but Australia did even bet- ter, getting 113 pounds each. But that was still well below -the American average. So, you see, it's all a matter of comparison. And Americans in war time, live better than.many Euro- peans in the days of peace! We've taken too many of our advantages for granted and too often over- looked the fact that our free in- dustrial system has made us used to a standard of living undreamed of in many lands.

THE STAR "Your Home Town Newspaper" Army To Induct Men By Number Those Who Registered February 16 Will Be Grouped With Previous Registrants 'Men in the 20-21 and 37-44 age groups in Gulf county who regis- tered last month have been won, dilring how and when they would be called. Word from Washington seems co clarity this point. The army will continue to induct men by number, says Secretary of War Stimson, and does not plan to order induction of selective service registrants by age groups. He said that men who registered last month in the 20-21 and 37-44 age groups would be grouped with men previously registered about June 1, after the lottery next 'Tuesday to determine their order numbers, a n' d induction orders would be issued by the local boards in the ratio of new regis- trants, to old. As an example, he stated a hypothetical case of a local board asked to supply 100 men for induc- tion. This board has 100 men left i-cnm its original list of regis- trants, and 900 of the new group, and therefore would draw 90 men from the new group and 10 men of the original group to make up its allotment: In the group registered last month it .l estimated that there are 10 younger men, 20-21 years old, to four of the older men, of 37 to 44, who would be available for induction. "There will be -no 20-year-old class, 21-year-old class, and so' on,' said Simpson, "with drafts- made on the younger ..ctass until It: isr exhausted and then on t rt0ugh the iucceding.g classes." -------- Mr L.

LOCAL TIRE DEALERS ARE SENDING IN TIRES, TUBES Tire. dealers of Port St. Joe this week gathered up all but a few of their stocks of new tires and tubes and returned them to the manu- facturers and warehouses, for re- distribution. Every dealer had sufficient pas- senger car tires and tubes on hand to supply the demand in Gulf county for, a year or two under the present quotas, and by turning them in they released a consider- able amount of ready cash that had been tied up. The move was not compulsory, but was made in an effort to give tire dealers an opportunity to get their money out of their frozen stocks. ---+------- Home From Jacksonville ,Mrs. T. M.
