JAPAN’S FATE TO BE DECIDED IN YEAR 1935 Army, Navy and Nation Must Meet ‘Grave Crisis/ Says War Party. From Page One) to those allowed others. Once her right is acknowledged, I dm informed, she may agree of her own free will not to avail herself of it. While Tokio's naval policy has not been announced, the above :epresents the views of high naval, military and civil officials who will help formulate that policy. Prefers Death to “Shame” Japan today is in the position of a first-class power attempting to maintain her place in the world on the resources of a third-class power. Unless she can acquire additional! resources, she must eventually step down to the lower rung. That she will do this voluntarily is out of the question. She will invite annihilation first. She will either get the “new deal,” or Asia will again be turned crimson. Japan, in her program of expansion, has reached midstream only. The water about her is swift and deep. She must push on to the other shore, or turn back. Manchuria and Jehol are too much or too little territory for her needs—too much because it will inevitably invite a counter-attack from Russia and China, too little because it lacks sufficient of those vital resources which a vast empire must have.

Reeks Trade Leadership Maintaining one of the world’s biggest armies, 260,000 effectives, and demanding a navy second to none, Japan also is making a supreme bid for world trade leadership. This colossal program requires vast reserves, in peace or war, of steel, oil, coal, rubber, cotton, sugar, various chemicals and metals, none of which is found in sufficient quantity in her new domain. Without oil, modern armies and navies are practically helpless. Japan occupies twelfth place in oil production after the United States, and eleventh after Soviet Russia. The United States produces 845,000,000, Russia 160,000,000, and Japan 2,000.000 barrels annually. Even counting the oil she gets from the northern half of the island of Sakhalin—leased from Russia and undependable in time of war—Japan produces only a fourth of her peacetime needs. Manchuria has no known free oil. There is plenty shale, but its oil content is low. Coal, Iron Quest Futile Japan had hoped to find a supply of iron and coking coal in the new territory, but again seems doomed to disappointment. The ore is of poor quality and she still imports nine tons for every one she produces. The story of rubber, cotton and other essential materials is more discouraging still. Japan’s grandiose dream of empire is based upon her scheme to become another Great Britain, turning raw materials into finished products and shipping them to the four corners of the earth in Japanese bottoms. But once more she seems to have arrived on the scene a little too late, though for the moment her foreign trade is booming. Even Britain is regarded as having long since passed her peak in this line of business and today is facing a reorientation of her national economy. Builds House on Rar.d Japan, therefore, seems to be building, at least partly, on sand The conditions which made England are doubtless gone forever. And clouds are already darkening the Japanese trade horizon. At this writing twenty-seven countries are takin&steps to curtail Japanese imports. With emigration and exports both checked. Japan almost certainly will seek to carve out a still bigger empire for herself. Within its borders she will endeavor to find, not only the raw materials necessary, but a subject population to absorb her surplus goods. It is either that or return to the status of a hungry little island teeming with people and racked with poverty.

RURAL INDrGENT MUST RAISE OWN PRODUCE Governor's Commission Promulgates New Relief Ruling. Destitute families in small towns and rural areas will be required to cultivate gardens for their own subsistence under the latest plan announced by the (governor’s commission on unemployment relief. Garden plots will be procured by township trustees and seed will be provided by the state commission. Such families will be denied poor relief unless they properly cultivate the garden, it was announced.
