gram Corp.) TOKYO, Jan. 11—(BY RADIO) —A few days after my arrival here, a letter was thrust under my door. | It read: “Welcome back to Nippon. You have come in the nick of time. The world is in the grip of a crisis— revolution, if vou like—and its fountainhead is right here in Tokyo, in the brains of a few men. Your | first job will be to identify them.” It was signed by a publicist, for- | merly well known but now gone into that obscurity so eagerly | sought by those close to the Tokyo Government. After ascertaining his present high connections and responsibility, I arranged a meeting. First I asked the identity of the “few men” referred to in the letter. Personal Greatness Overthrown “That is a futile question, he | replied, “because the moment they are known, they cease to have | power they actually wield. “Nearly all the officials you once | knew have been ousted, and some | are in disgrace. Why? Because | men of strong convictions will not stay at the top in Japan. our history proves it. ‘We never tolerate personal or individual greatness in men actually in office.” My informant then explained the Chinese conflict in this lyrical | light: “Remember Robert Browning's poem, ‘A Light woman’? In it a lusty, strong fellow steals the girl from his younger friend, then tries to justify his act with a clumsy | explanation — that he wanted to | save his friend from the toils of a I light woman. At first vou are indignant with him, then your anger thaws as vou remember the inevitability of youth and human nature. Then, gradually, you feel a sort of comtempt for the weaker friend. who only has all the virtues on his side America Is Praised

“Sometimes we in Japan act first and trv to justify ourselves afterward. All of this rubbish about a defensive war against communism, | against Britishism, and as a punishment for the Chinese, stands | self-condemned in the mind of | every thinking Japanese. | “Japan is no more anti-British, | no more anti-Soviet, than she is anti-China. I have dozens of acquaintances, including young relatives, who have gone to China to fight. All agree that they are ready to die for their country, but they say mot a word about killing Chinese, or punishing Chiang Kai-shek, who by the way, is more admired here than anvone else in China. “I think America is wise in keeping aloof. If Great Britain should come in. that, I fear. would be the end of the British Empire, even if Japan were brought to earth. “The Chinese, you know, are racially immortal and imperishable, and the Japanese already have taken strong root in Korea and Manchuria. So even if Japan proper were lost. the world could never conquer the combined power of the Asiatic continent.”

Took te United Asia

Then my informant gave me these words. carrying the indorsement of the Japanese Premier: “We appeal to those nations Took - ing on to do all they can to bring this conflict to the earliest possible conclusion or, what is better, to refrain from doing anything likely %o protons the tragic situation. Our political ideal is to establish a United States of Asia after the manner of the United States of Europe which was the dream of the late Aristide Briand. Though it is a distant dream, it is bound to come true some day. That is our strong faith. “A Yesser United States of Asia already is springing up in such regions as Korea, Formosa and Manchukuwo, where a half dozen different Asiatic races are living in perfect harmony. “Im the great commonwealth of Asiatic nations about which we are dreaming, the nations might differ in race, policy, manners or customs, but that would not prevent our being united in common traditions. “This is not the time for Japan and China to be fighting. Their common action is needed elsewhere for the two nations, if united in peaceful co-operation, will prove a power strong enough to render signal assistance when difficulties arise in other parts of the world. “The peace of Europe will depend Jargeiy on the peace of Asia.”

DO COW-PUNCHERS APPRECIATE CAMELS COSTLIER TOBACCOS

ED YOCHUM was born and raised in the cattle country. Speaking from personal observation, Ted says: “‘Cow-punchers are great Camel smokers. Any hombre who's ridin’ herd has a natural hankering for the kind of mild, tasty smokin’ Camels give him. And seems like if a man smokes Camels once — he sticks to Camels. Me—I'"ve been enjoying Camels for nigh on to eight years. Come round-up time=I'm in the saddle for hours, and not sparin’ myself. A Camel sure hits the spot then. I get a mighty pleasant "lift.’”

Yes, and to America at large, Camel’s costlier tobaccos have such a special appeal that they are the largest-selling cigarette in this country!

AUTO MECHANIC Al Patterson: “In the garage business you catch your meals on the run. Camels smooth the way for good digestion. The Mrs. smokes ‘em too.”

SALESGIRL Elsie Schumacher works ina department store. She says: “When the rush gets me to feeling worn out—it’s me fora CamVel, and I get a quick, pleasant ‘lift. ”

Camel spends MILLIONS MORE FOR COSTLIER TOBACCOS! Camels are a matchless blend of finer MORE EXPENSIVE TOBACCOS «= Turkish and Domestic.

PHARMACIST J. E. Bayus says: “I think Camels are a simply § swell cigarette. I getin a lot of Camel smoking during the course of a % day. I never tire of . Camel's taste.”

CHIEF SIGNAL. MAN, N. Y. Central, John Geraghty : “Speed and safety—our watche words—call for healthy nerves. I smoke plenty. Camels don’t jangle my nerves.”

PERSONAL SHOP. PER Irene Sherwood says: “Every woman knows how hectic shopping is. I'm up against that six days a week. When I'm fatigued, I light up a Camel.”

WATCHMAKER I. C Gorkun says: “Every Camel I smoke seems to be milder and tastier than the last. Camels don’t leave me ‘smoked out’ no matter how many times a day I light up.”

CHAMPION TYPIST Remo Poulsen: “I enjoy Camels from one end of the day to the other. And Camels don’t irritate my throat. That means a lot because I smoke a lot.”

SPORTS WRITER Stuart Cameron: “I know many of Ameri. ca’s great athletes intimately. It's impressive how the champions agree on Camels. Camels don’t get on my nerves.”
