Yet the Japanese are secretly afraid of Wang. Back home in Nippon they have a sport known as Jujitsu. Its the art of appearing to yield, thus throwing an opponent off balance, then sending the opponent crashing while thus at a disadvantage. They fear Wang is playing political jujitsu.

If he is not intensely Chinese I am not judge of character. I will ‘miss my bet if the Japanese do not have trouble with him in the long run, He may yet throw them for a loss the first. time he catches them off balance. I got the impression that Wang was opposed to war with Japan for much the same reason that Chamberlain did not want war with Germany.

Whether in his dragon-throne robes as emperor of in his swallowtail coat as- head of the Manchurian regime, it is all the same to China. He is still a traitor. When the military power that now sustains this puppet show in Manchuria, falls, the puppets will fall with it.” Today Wang himself is a puppet. In the pact just signed, he makes concession after concession to the Japanese... But they really change nothing. Japan is no stronger today than before the agreement "was signed. Before she can cash in an any of Wang’s concessions she must first lick China, and Wang is not likely to make that, job easier.

On paper, Japan has now converted the Sino-Japa-

Ching-Wei will now put Chinese soldiers in the field to destroy the “outlawed” Generalissimo Chiang KaiShek while the Japanese merely help a little here and there. In practice, however, the Japanese will have to keep on doing the fighting if they hope to win. For

“they will not dare arm any large number of Chinese

under Wang lest they turn their weapons against the Japanese, In fact, there is, a precedent for this. Armed by Japan, the old Marshal Chang Tso-Lin, late war lord of Manchuria, was fighting desperately against Chang Kai-Shek’s advanced northward toward Peking. At Tsihan-Fu the Japanese attempted to inPerfectly furious, the old marshal wired

If they are to get any profit out of the war in China, they will have to keep on fghting for it. And if they stumble they had better look out. Chang may jujitsu them.

THE TIMES' CLOTHE-A-CHILD staff is going through its annual painful process of dissuading folks who clothe needy youngsters to refrain from taking before-and-after photos. This is just one of the many heagaengs the staff goes through with donors new to the cause. ‘Clothe-A-Child has certain simple rules. No photogrdph of any child befriended is ever per- * mitted to be taken. The youngster’s name goes down in the files and the donor knows who he is, but the child is protected from any publicity. Children are permitted to go out. with donors to be. shopped for only after Clothe-A-Child knows the donor to be reliable. : Roughly, about half of the children are clothed directly by don‘ors, the other ‘half by The Times acting for donors who send in checks ‘and money orders, etc. Donors usually have a.choice. They either want a

°

girl or a boy of a ceriain age and sometimes from .

a specified Jeighborhood. Frequently, persons who give in the memory of a loved one ask for a child with a certain first name. Oddest request thus far this year has been for a 4 foot, 4-inch girl, seven years of age. , Clothe-A-Child did it.

for merchant ships, - it has been suggested within

this Government that some way should be found to turn over to the British a large number of foreign ships which lie tied up in our ports. ‘These are idle ships ‘which have been driven inte refuge in American ports by the war. They are of no use to anybody now, earning nothing for their owners, a. deadweight loss. At this time there are 82 of these vessels that have been tied up for two months or more, waiting for the war to end. Two are German ships, 27 are Italian. The Danes have 34 tied up, the French 12, the Norwegians 8, and the remainder are scattered among little countries that have disappeared, such as Belgium and the Baltic countries. The British are so desperate for shipping that they are undertaking to build shipyards over here, and to: buy everything we will sell. Our own merchant marine has been stripped down below where it should be. With this condition, it seems ridiculous to allow technicalities to keep sn much needed shipping tied up in idleness here. Britain's Need for Shipping - ‘Some American are proposing that we repeal the Neutrality Act, or amend it so that American ships. can start carrying supplies to Great Britain. Efforts to that end will be made in the new Congress. Can’ you imagine’ us sending out American ships to be shot at while a big fleet of perfectly good vessels of German, Italian and other foreign registry is hiding safely in our ports? The point is that Britain is desperately in need of shipping. Cries for more bottoms are going up in. Commons. Because of the shortage of shipping, the: British Food Ministry has Ughtened down again.

Especially concerned is the operator of the second floor lobby lunch counter. It seems there's been a lot of talk about moving it out of the building, or at least into a far corner of the basement.

Fresh fruits from overseas will have to be given up and further restrictions on meat are in sight. More and more people are being fed in communal canteens. Condensed meat is being restricted. Cargo space must be conserved by extreme measures. The British are putting in heavy shipbuilding orders in this countfy. A program of 120 cargo ships is in mind. Our own ship-building facilities are so taxed that Britain is negotiating to build her own shipyards in this country. But all of that won't produce ships for ahother 18 months. What England needs is shipping now, this month, next month and for the next three or four months. Those are the critical months—the period immediately ahead.

Critical Period Reached .

To allow this grave need to go unfulfilled while idle shipping of -foreign registry is tied up in our harbors is senseless. It would be even more senseless to start sending American-flag ships into the submarine, zones while there were these idle bottoms available for Britain. The genius which (Attorney General Jackson showed in finding a way’ whereby we could legally transfer 50 destroyers to Britain ought easily to be adequate to finding a way by which this -idle foreign shipping could be put to work for Britain. The Danes have the largest amount .of shipping tied up in American ports. It went into hiding when Germany occupied Denmark. The British offered to charter Danish shipping caught. in British ports if the ‘Danes would turn over their ships. in neutral ports. But the Danes refused. If I seem to have been harping on qgne string for several days it is because I think the critical period “has beeri reached. Officials are not saying what they think and fear in many cases, and that is understandable. Pessimism is relieved only by the fact that Italy looks to be Hitler's Achilles’ heel and that it may be possible for Britain to hold the Mediterranean line. Everything depends on that now— ‘and. shipping’ is of utmost necessity in. supporting that operation.

When you fight for existence, you must consider everything which will give strength and unity to those who make the fight. Having conceded that, however, I still think it is an important book for us in America, to. read.

Much that was never dreamed of then, now faces us at home and abroad. ‘I .s:eady to say that the fundamentals remain the same.

Anti-Semitism Hitler's te Chief Propaganda Weapon |

INSTALLMENT FOURTEEN

This ‘is the fourfeenth installment ‘of the niost sensational Book ‘of the year,

“The Voice of Destruction,” which tells how Adolf Hitler plans te make Germany

‘master of the world.

It was written by Hermann Rauschning, former president of the Danzig Senate and from 1932 to 1985 a close associate of Hitler. Yesterday's installment dealt with Hitler's Jewish policies, and today’s continues

his exposition on that subject. ,

NTI-SEMITISM, continued Hitler, was beyond ques-

tion the most important weapon in his propagandist arsenal, and almost everywhere it, was of deadly efficiency. That was why he had allowed Streicher, for instance, a

free hand.

“The struggle for world domination will be fought

entirely between us, between Germans and Jews. All else

is facade and illusion. Behind England stands Israel, and behind France, and behind the United States. Even when we have driven the Jew out of ‘Germany he remains our

world enemy.” I asked whether that amounted to saying that

the. Jew must be destroyed. “No,” he replied. “We should have then to invent him. It is essential to have a tangible enemy), not merely an abstract one. “The Jew is always with us. But it is easier to combat him in the flesh than an invisible demon. The Jew was the enemy of the Roman Empire, even of Egypt and Babylon; but I have been the first to go all out against him.

“Jews have been ready to help me in my political struggle. At the outset of our movement some Jews actually gave me financial assistance. If I had buf held out my little finger I should have had the whole lot of them crowding round me. They knew well enough where there was a new thing on, with life in it. It was the Jews, of course, who invented the economic system of constant fluctuation and expansion that we call capitalism—that invention of genjus, with its subtle and yet simple self-acting mechanism. Let us make no mistake about ite-it is an invention of genius, of the Devil’s own ingenuity. “The economic system of our day is the creation of the Jews. It is under their exclusive control. It is their superstate, planted by them above all the states of the world in all their glory. But now we have challenged them, with the system of unending revolution. Has it not struck you how the Jew is the exact opposite of the German in every single respect, and yet is as closely: akin to him ash blood brother?” 2 8°88 CATHOLIC priest and a Jewish rabbi were clearing the latrine in a concentration camp. . Working up to their hips in filth, they were mockingly asked by the S. S. man who was standing guard over them:

ei

“Where's ‘you God now?” “We don’t know,” replied the

priest; “but he who seeks Him

shall find Him.” But the rabbi, said: “God is here. God is .even here.”

But where is the god whom

Hitler sometimes addresses in his

speeches, the god he calls Provi-.

dence or the Almighty? That god

is the handsome, the god-like man. whose statue stands in the Or-' densburgen, ‘the .vast training in--

stitutions for future Nazi leaders. Hitler's god is Hitler himself. - On one occasion, before he had immersed himself in foreign policy and his military plans, Hitler passionately exclaimed that “he

wanted to build up,.to.do con--

structive: work as statesman and legislator. He was full, he said, of gigantic plans. The world would see him the greatest creative genius of all ages. “I have so little time .-. . too little time!” And he’went on ‘to say that we Had, as yet, only the faintest idea of what manner of man he really was. Now and’ then he was obsessed by frightful nervous apprehension that he was going to fail to attain his goal. 8 = = E HAD come to a turningpoint in world history—that was his constant theme. We un= instructed persons, it was clear, had no conception of the scale of the revolution that was to take place in all life. At these times Hitler spoke as a seer, as one of the initiated. He saw his own remarkable career as a confirmation of hidden powers. He saw himself

as chosen for super-human tasks,

as the prophet of the rebirth of man in a new form. A process of change .that had lasted literally for thousands of years was approaching its completion. Man’s solar period was coming to its end. The coming

age was revealing itself) in the first great human figures of a new type. | Did Hitler believe all this? Was it anything more than a sort of propaganda, with which to gain prestige and support in certain quarters? There were only a few people, mostly women, among whom he used to talk in this style.

One thing is certain—Hitler has

the spirit of the prophet. He is not content to be’ a mere poliVicia,

ene man is among us! He is here!” exclaimed Hitler triumphantly. “I will tell you a secret. I am founding an Order.” The idea.was not new to me. It had probably come from Rbsen=-

berg 2 Hitler resisted the temptation to

~ make any premature mention in

public of his deeper purposes, National Socialism was only at the oujset of: its career. He had first td carry the political struggle to completion and’ to prepare himself for the decisive war that must inevitably come. Only when, like old Frederick, King of ‘Prussia, his venerated hero and model, he had his wars behind him, could he proceed to the actual building

- up of Germany.

“In my great educative wo ke,” said Hitler, “I am beginning with .the young. . We older ones are used up. . Yes, we are old already. We are rotten to the marrow. We have no unrestrained instincts left. . We are cowardly and sentimental. We are bearing the bur=den of a humiliating past, and have in our blood the dull recols lection of serfdom and servility.

They shall learn to overcome the fear of death, under the severest tests, That is the intrepid and heroic stage of youth. Out of it comes the stage of the free man, the man who is the substance and essence of the world, the creative man, the godman. More than that, doncluded ‘Hitler; he could: not say. ~There were stages of which he must not allow even himself to speak. Even this, he said, he only intended to make public when ‘he was no longer live ing. Then there. would be something really great, and over whelming revelation. In order to completely fulfill his mission, he’ nfust die a martyr’s death. “Yes,” he repeated, “in the hour of supreme peril I must sacrifice myself for ‘the people.”

TRAPPING IS AT ITS HEIGHT NOW

Season to Close on Jan. 31;

It's a $750,000 Industry For State.

By JOE COLLIER A three-quarter million = dollar Hoosier industry is in’ full seasonal swing, but very few persons and only certain small fur-bearing animals know of it. That’s right. It’s the trapping season. It began north of Road 40, the northern zone, Nov. 15 and

south of Road 40, the southern zone, Nov. 25. It ends in both zones Jan. 31.

hon 3

The reason for a longer season .in.

the northern zone is climate. Pelts are ready for trapping sooner. Even so, many pelts are taken each year before they are prime.

Weasles Are Ermine

Among the animals for which traps are set are weasles, summer a weasle is a chicken stealing varmint whose standing in agricultural circles is very bad indeed. In the winter, when they turn white, they are ermine. They turn all white but the tip, of their tails, which ‘ are black. e pelts are small, of course, but they bring pretty good prices. ,

Probably the most important ani- |

mal so far as Indiana trappers are concerned is the muskrat. More muskrats are taken and more of them are used in the fur industry. Some mink, raccoon and skunk are taken. :

The Animals Are Smart /]

: Trapping is done by farmers and farm boys, and professional trappers. To trap on land not your own you must have written, consent of the owner. If you have never et a trap and know nothing about it, you wouldn’t catch an animal all winter even if you had scores of traps out. There
