Philippines Will Permit Refugees To Share in Developing Big Island
Manila. — The Philippines Commonwealth is ceiling its young men to go south and grow up with the country. A migration designed to place 500,000 Filipinos on settlements in Mindanao island has been started under the direction of the semi autonomous government that the United‘States gave to the Philippines three and a half years ago. Aims ct the colonization project, in which Jewish refugees from centra! Europe may participate to a limited extent, are manifold. They include: 1— Stabilization of Philippines economy which has been maintained under artificial balance during American occupation of the Philippines. 2— Expansion of agricultural production in an archipelago that for decades has not produced enough staple foodstuffs to support its own population. 3— Development of vast tropical resources which have remained virtually untouched in Mindanao while the northern islands have been more intensively developed. 4— Abolition of the political-re-ligious barrier that hitherto has separated Mohammedan Mindanao from the Christian northern islands. Will Test People Development of the island : — three times as large as Belgium but with less than one-fifth the population—will be a big job. It will test the sinew of a Filipino generation in which teachings about American progress and industry have been superimposed on a background of centuries of tropical indolence. To a certain extent, the joh may show whether the present Filipino generation is made of the stuff required to develop and protect an independent nation. The Commonwealth is scheduled to become fully independent July 4. 1I146. The migration is more like the New Deal’s Alaskan settlement project than the settlement and development of the American west. It has the careful planning and organization of the Alaskan project. It lacks the motives of pursuit of personal freedom and prospects of great wealth that led to America’s westward migration. Development of Mindanao’'; ■ sources will largely bo r .iced and controlled by the r"" rnment. Only time will show whether the personal motive offered to settlers —the prospect of a better living than the semi-feudal agrarian system in the northern islands—has been made strong enough to insure success of the plan. Jewish Technicians Welcomed President Quezon foresees the admission of up to 10,000 Jewish refugees to the Philippines within the next 10 years and it is planned lo send many of them to Mindanao. Jewish technicians, skilled laborers and artisans particularly would be encouraged to help in the colonization plan. Repatriated Filipinos from the United States also will be encouraged to “go south.” The first group of settlers— about 100 persons, including farmers, a physician, a nurse, a carpenter, an irrigation engineer and other technicians—is busy opening up the Karonadal valley in Cotobato province. They were taken from northern communities to Mindanao at government expense and set to work tjuilding homes and clearing land, under the direction of Major-Gen. Pauline Santos, former Philippines army chief-of-staff, commissioned to supervise the colonization. The original plan for colonization was drawn up by an Americaiiaconomic adviser to the Commonwealth government. Dr. Frederic C. Howe. Before coming to the Philippines Dr. Howe was an Ohio state senator, immigration commissioner for the port of New York and consumers counsel for the AAA in Washington. Favored by Nature “The people of the Philippines have an unparalleled opportunity to create something new in the world,” Dr. Howe said. “Not only are they endowed with 20,000,000 acres of public lands, but they are also endowed with climatic conditions which make an otherwise low standard of living relatively high in the world. Free from the necessity for fuel, for expensive homes, only a minimum of effort is necessary to provide a comfortable subsistence. “The new Mindanao settlements will be very much like towns or cities. They may have from 10,000 to 15,000 people in them. There will be movies and radios. There will be opportunities for doctors and lawyers, also for shops of various kinds. “This is the way farms are being made today in Ireland, Germany, Denmark and Sweden. On a small l^=jjjjj=^====————
scale they are being made that! way in the United States, through the resettlement administration. “The government will provide capital for each family and will take a mortgage on each farm, allowing the family from 15 to 30 years in which to repay the loan.” PARTY LEADER OF RED CHINA LIVES IN CAVE
Mao Tse-tung Strives For Social Reform in Orderly Way Yenan, Shenai, China April 21. —Japan’s avowed aim to drive Communism out of China has resulted in a six-mile retreat by Gen. Mao Tse-tung, China’s Communist leader, but the chief result for the Chinese has been of a somewhat dubious comfort. High on a mountainside, in a simple two-rooml cave dug by his followers, Mao Tse-tung — called China’s “Stalin” by his friends and “Genghis Khan” by his foes— guides the political destinies of China’s Communists, estimated to number in the ten millions. On the other side of the Yellow river, in Shansi province, his comrade in the “long march” from Kiangsi in southeast China to Shensi in the northwest, Chu Teh, the “Red Napoleon,” guides the military destines of the Eighth Route Army. When the Japanese first bombed Yenan, with heavy damage to the city, all of the inhabitants moved to the mountains where caves were dug. Today the city is virtually an empty and demolished shell, with all business life going on as usual outside the city walls and in the myriad of caves. Cave Has Two Rooms Mao TseHung’s cave is six miles from the city in a deep valley where no Japanese bomb could cause any destruction. The cave itself differs from the majority of those occupied by other Yenan residents in that it has two rooms instead of the customary one. One room serves as office and study, and the other as combined bedroom and dining room, where he and his attractive young wife live as simply as their followers. The furnishings are simple. Wooden tables and stools, a bed carved out of the dirt and covered with straw, and a small fireplace directly beneath the bed to provide warmth during the cold nights constituted the furnishings. Sunlight streams through a whitepaper covered window at the mouth of the cave. Candles provide light at night. Mao Tse-tung rieceived the writer in hig “office” at 9:30 p. m. and talked until long past midnight. He munched watermelon and pumpkin seeds as he talked and smoked an occasional cigarette. He discussed a wide variety of subjects, ranging from philosophy to militarism and plied questions regarding conditions in the United States. He showed keen interest in the wages and hours legislation. America’s armament plans, Philipine independence and President Roosevelt’s program of economic reform. Admires President Roosevelt “I am a great admirer of President Roosevelt,” he said. “President Roosevelt and Generalissimo Kai-shek should meet in some neutral point—such as Manial—to discuss the Far Fast. It is too bad it couldn’t be in Tokyo.” He chuckled slightly at the last. NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT OF ESTATE

Tokyo, April 21.—^Japan is engaged in a three-year program of industrial expansion which is designed to achieve a major transformation in Japan’s national strength. . Revealed after a speaker in parliament had asserted that foreign nations were underestimating Japan’s power, the plan contemplates tremendous increases in the production of essential industrial products. President Kazuo Aoki of the cabinet’s planning board at first refused to reveal details of the program on the ground that they were in the nature of military secrets. Finally he gave a partial account, showing the objectives which planners hope to reach by the end of the 1941-42 fiscal year. The proposed production increases are: Steel, 60 per cent. Special steels, 100 per cent. Steel ingots, 60 per cent. Pig iron, 100 per cent. Iron ore, 150 per cent. . Coal, 30 per cent plus. Aluminum, several times present amount. Magnesium, 1,000 per cent. Copper, 80 per cent plus. Lead 90 per cent. Zinc, 70 per cent. Tin, 100 per cent. Automobile gasoline: natural, 30 per cent; artificial, 800 per cent. Dehydrated alcohol, 1,200 per cent. Soda, 20 per cent. Caustic soda, 40 per cent. Industrial salt, 65 per cent. Sulphate of ammonium, 40 per cent. Pulp for paper, 20 per cent. Pulp for rayon, 220 per cent. Gold, 20 per cent. Machine tools, 100 per cent. Railway rolling stock: locomotives, 30 per cent; passenger cars, 70 per cent;/freight cars, 50 per cent. Wool, 240 per cent. The list includes materials vitally needed and some whose scarcity has contributed to tho difficulties of the China war. The emhpasis was placed upon iron ore production and gasoline, which in the past have been almost entirely purchased abroad. The resources of China and Manchukuo are involved in the program, for Japan has not the natural resources for anything resembling such an ambitious plan. ■ o THE BALANCE OF POWER
•'HL,
Elections are won or lost by the favor of the independent voter. It has always been true in Indiana and will be again in 1940. To win this most important election there must be presented an issue and a candidate who will appeal to the judgment and the imagination of those people who are not bound by .party ties, but are swayed by party policies. There is a certain number of Indianians who are Republicans by inheritance and who vote that ticket because their fathers and their grandfathers did the same. There is an equal number of Democrats who are Democ/atic by conviction, those convinced that the party of Jefferson and of Jackson is founded on principles which are essential to the preservation of liberty and of free government. Then comes the others—those who must be persuaded in every election, who must be convinced on every important issue. Their indifference in the off years has caused a slump in the Democratic vote. They will be voting again in 1940, because vital issues will be at stake and vital interests of the nation will be the issue. And for the first time, they will be voting FOR something, not AGAINST someone. What has a Dewey or a Taft or a Barton to offer to these voters? What will they have to offer to the great independent forces of this country, except perhaps that these men hate Roosevelt and the New Deal? On what issue can they arouse the imagination of these voters or arouse their enthusiasm? What have they to offer? From now to 1940, the campaign will be one of propaganda in which every available power will be directed against the Democratic party. They will have the great newspapers and the magazines. They will have every, appeal to prejudice and hate. The work is maped out for the Democrats, those "who believe in Jefferson and Jackson. They must meet rumors and charges with truth. They must educate and persuade. not with lies and passion, hut by facts. It is not a difficult job, but it is one that must be done, if the country is saved for democracy in the next election. Other paths lead to Fascism.

P. Bole, Jr., mammalogist at the museum. “The bat flies in a circle and chases the wadding fired from the shotgun. This precedes the bullet and since the bats are exceedingly fast, they actually dodge the bullet by diving for the wadding.” The deer, he said, is becoming more and more plentiful and some day may become “really common.” it has been determined that mouse epidemics which wipe out almost completely the mouse populations occur every three or four
years,.
“These are called mammal cycles,” the scientist said. “You might consider them similar to sun spot cycles or business cycles. We are trying to trace a relationship between these and human ill-
ness.”

SHUT-INS’ VOTE AS RIGHT URGED
St. Louis.—Ben M. Loewenstein, former real estate Gealer, is conlucting a nationwide campaign to procure passage of uniform laws enabling shut-ins to exercise their right of franchise. Lowenstein has been confined to a wheelchair in his room at the Missouri Baptist hospital since injuring his hip five years ago. Despite this difficulty, he has been bombarding members of congress, governors and political leaders with letters urging some form of arrangement that would allow the 1,000,000 persons in tlie nation who are confined to their beds to vote. “Shut-ins pay taxes and are sublet to the nation’s laws, yet they ire denied the right to participate in their government,”’ Loewenstein said. “Such an imposition amounts to taxation without representation.” Called Wide Awake He said the plight of invalids was impressed upon him during his convalescence from his injury. “Most of these people are certainly well informed on candidates and issues since they have an abundance of time for study of political issues,” Loewenstein pointed out. “They deserve a champion who would effectively place their problem before the public.” At present only nine states pro- . 5de Cor the Tegiruauou ana voting of shut-ins, and onTy 15 of UK others have laws permitting physically disabled persons to vote if ‘hey have beea previously i'eg; f ‘ tered.

Under the plan of voting by mail, ballots would be sent by registered mail and to prevent fraud election officials would compare the signatures oil the ballots with the signatures on the receipts for the letters. According to Loewenstein’s second plan, election clerks and judges would be sent to the shutins during idle periods of the election day with a special ballot box. When the officials returned to the polling place, the ballots would be transferred to the regular box.

Pilots Spread Insect Poison, Most Hazardous Flying Job
Sacramento, Cal. — Killing insects on fruit trees and vegetables doesn’t seem especially thrilling— but it is, according to Charles L. Jensen. Jensen, a veteran flier, packs the extra cockpit of his speedy two-seater full of poisonous dusting material and flies at more than 100 miles an hour over vegetable fields and fruit orchards. And he flies close to the ground, not more than 3 feet above it. Now owner of a fleet of five dusting planes, Jensen has been engaged in this hazardous work for eight years. During that time he has seen several experienced pilots die in blazing crashes. Fire is the dreaded peril of fixing crop dusters. “Fire is our greatest danger,” he said, “because sulphur is used in so many dustings. “In a three-year period, nine pilots lost their lives in California because of fire. Often the cloud of sulphur dust following the plane.is ignited by static electricity, starting a fire along the rear of the fuselage and destroying the pilot’s control of the plane.” Since fire almost always starts in the tail of the plane, Jensen has overcome a great deal of danger by using metal dusting ships and covering the fuselage with fireproof material. The plane, however, is not absolutely fireproof then, but it is possible for the pilot to make a comparatively safe landing because the controls are not damaged, the flier explained. Jensen dusts more than 100,000 acres of vegetable crops and fruit orchards every year. Some of the crops are lettuce, celery, cantaloupes, peas, sugar beats, beans, and cottons. Peaches, prunes and apricots are some of the fruits that get the treatment. He skims across the fields at high speeds, sprinkling the dust or liquid spray into the propeller blast. The great velocity of the backwash drives the spray down under the leaves. Crop dusters cannot fly at comfortable altitudes because the poison must be placed beneath the leaves. Another reason is that breezes will carry much of it away if dusting were done from a higher level. Pilots Specially Licensed A few years ago only an experiment regarded by most ranchers as foolhardy at best, crop dusting now has become a definite part of agriculture. The state department of agriculture licenses pilots and requires them to pass rigid examinations. “Y’ou almost have to be an entomologist as well as a flier,” Jensen said. “Dusters must know the laws regulating pest control, what type poison is effective oil various insects and what effect the poison must have on vegetation.” Some poisons, he said, are injurious to some fruits and perfectly harmless to others. “For example,” he explained, “if a duster did not know that sulphur will not injure peaches, but will harm apricots, he wmuld find himself in serious trouble.” Pest Control Spreads So great has been the expansion of the aerial pest extermination industry in California that now nearly every county requires dusters to obtain county permits to lust as well as state licenses. Jensen said he was licensed in nearly every county. The success of controlling insect damage by air now is beyond doubt. Use of airplanes for dusting plants has been so satisfactory that it has been carried on to greater lengths. Recently, crop dusters have turned to exterminating weeds by the same method. In killing weeds, Jensen said, the plane is flown at an altitude of about 15 feet. Chemicals are spilU ed and blown to the ground by Ihe propeller blast. It settles on the flat sides of the leaves and burns the weeds. In burning weeds, some of the chemicals used also fertilize the soil. o Activity Urged For Long Life By Woman, 100 Sharon.

The literature racks in the travel department of the Hoosier Motor club are now filled with descriptive matter regarding national and state parks and summer resorts in all parts of the United States, Canada, Mexico and many places of historic interest and anyone who intends' to take a vacation this summer should make his plans now, Todd Stoops , secre-tary-manager of the club said today. He continued: “While many persons are planning to visit Treasure Island at San Francisco by far the greater number of vacationists to all points have expressed the intention of visiting the World’s Fair in New York. For this reason the club has arranged economy tours to New York which should be booked as soon as possible. These tours not only include accommodations at the type of hotel you desire, but provide your admission to the Fair and conducted tours through NBU broadcasting and television studios in Radio City, a visit to the Rockefeller Center Observation Roof, 70 stories high, and sightseeing trips in New York, parading before you every highlight from Chinatown to Harlem. “These Hoosier Motor club economy tours are to be completely individual in that you will not be held to any set schedule and may do your explorations when and how you desire. The club has completely eliminated the trouble and expense of hunting hotel accommodations at a time when rooms will be at a high premium and of trying to arrange your own tours ami sightseeing trips when hundreds of thousands of other visitors will be attempting to do the same thing. Summed up, the club has arranged that you may travel to New York, in any way you desire, by train, car or plane and arrive in the metropolis with your accommodations arranged in advance and armed with coupons to be used at your own pleasure for the various activities in which you will indulge. “Users of the club’s economy tours will find reserved rooms waiting for them upon arrival in New York, they may visit the Fair when they desire, a sightseeing loach will pick them up at their hotel for tours of the city and experienced guides will conduct them to behind-the-scenes vistas in Radio City. “Of course, to obtain the ad. vantages of such economy tours arrangements must be made well in advance. These tours may be obtained by anyone desiring to visit the Fair by calling at the Hoosier Motor Club and making the proper arrangements.” — o — LOCAL BOY TO THE COLORS The following young man recently enlisted in the United States Army: Richard Wayne Coy, son of William L.
