Poll ‘Shows Fear If Tokyo Takes East Indies .. And Singapore.

[ 7 Director. Americin Institute of Public Opinion
PRINCETON, N. J. Feb. 24—
Where do the American people stand today on the issues rising out of Japanese expansion in the Pacific? i American Institute of Public Opinion soundings of U. S.: rankFEE and-file senti- : ment toward Japan over the past four years show a momentous development in the attitudes of the ordinary American toward the whole
Far Eastern| §
situation: 1. Ordinary Americans are interested in what happens across the Pacific as they have never been before—or at least as they have not been since America acquired the Philippines in 1899. 2. A majority of Americans believe that definite U. S. interests would be threatened if Japan seized British Singapore or the Dutch Bast Indies. 3. While the American people do not want war with the Japanese people, a substantial section of U. S. opinion would be willing to “risk war if necessary” in order to keep Japan from raising her flag at Singapore or taking over the Netherlands Indies.
Opinion Not Settled |
4. American opinion is still in the process of formation where the Far East is concerned. Events of the next few weeks and months may therefore have ‘a powerful effect on the American public's ultimate decision. : With many signs pointing to the possibility that Japan may choose to move into the South Pacific as Hitler strikes in Europe this spring, the Institute asked: ~~ - “Do you think the interests of the: United - States would be threatened if Japan took Singapore and the Dutch East Indies?” Sixty per cent of all those interviewed answered “yes.” Twenty per cent were undecided and the . remaining 20 per cent thought U. 8. interests would not be threat- © ened.. : As: one means of protecting the interests which Americans feel they have in the Pacific, 55 per cent say they would favor obtaining the use of naval bases from the British in Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. on * No Animus Against People _At no time have Institute surveys ever revealed any indication that the American people have an animus against the people of Japan; that they want to. block Japan’s economic development, or exclude the Japanese from a share of the normal trade of the Pacific. In< deed, there are many signs that from the time of the Russo-Jap-anese war until ohly a few years ago, there has been much U. S. friendship and sympathy with Nippon. .But in less than 48 months a majority of Americans have undoubtedly come to believe that the present course of Japanese policy raises definite threats to U. S. security.
EMBATTLED ARMY FIGHTS FOR BANDS
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 (U.P.).— Proposals ‘hy Orchestra Leader Leopold Stokowski to rewrite military music and : reafrange Army bands to provide greater inspiration in battle have made some bandsmen fighting mad. : Mr. Stokowski was authorized by - Army Chief ‘of Staff George C. Marshall to “experiment” - with an Army band at Ft. McArthur, Cal, and see whether his proposals would be suitable for adopfion by the Army. : i . Some of the things" he has proposed would be funny to some Army, bandsmen If it didn’t ‘make them so angry. Band masters: and band instrument manufacturers have risen in protest and will: beat the war drums at their Madisox, Wis., meeting this week. J Many of the instruments which Army bands now use; including the slarinet, would be: discarded and others substituted, under the Stokowski plan. He would place greater emphasis on the saxophone, using eight. 5h : “What Mr. Stokowski plans to do not only is downright silly, but would ruin the bands and cost millions of dollars,” said Fred Holtz, president of the National Association of Band Instrument Manufacturers.

DISCOVERER OF INSULIN MISSING
Dr. Banting Worked With * Lilly’s in Commercial Production of Drug.
MONTREAL, Quebec, Feb. 24 (U. P.) —Sir Frederick Grand Banting,
discoverer of insulin, which is saving the lives of thousands of diabetics, apparently has been killed in an airplane .mishap off the
today. ; A plané carfying him and three others has been missing since Friday, probably near Newfoundland, and it was indicated that little hope of finding the plane remained. Dr. Banting, winner of the Nobel prize in 1923, was traveling throughout Canada consulting fliers and doctors on problems connected with air fighting, such as the prevention of air sickness, methods of. offsetting
the . “black-outs” or periods of un-
consciousness which afflict pilots at the end of power dives, and the use of heart palliatives for high altitude flying, : He was one of the greatest medical scientists of modern times," and his. study of the natural afflictions of mankind twice were interrupted by war.. "A veteran. of the World War, he had turned to cancer research.after his triumph in the field of diabetes, and was commissioned a captain; in- the. 15th general hospital, ‘Royal Canadian Air Medical Corps, at the outbreak of the new war in 1939,
Commercialized production of insulin was developed here at the Lilly Laboratories under the direction of Sir Frederick Banting. Dr. Banting described the part Lilly’s played when he spoke here in 1934 at the dedication of the new Lilly Research Laboratories. He related that “Dr. G. H. A Clowes offered to put the resources of thevEli Lilly Co. at his disposal and that the offer was accepted April, 1922. “By the middle :of November the Eli Lilly Co. was first able to effect a very substantial purification and concentration of the .product by developing the iso-electric method of ‘precipitation. This product had the added advantage of being reasonably stable. The yields at that time were still very small, but by January (1923) as a result of work: carried out in the Connaught Laboratories and the Eli Lilly Company, we were able to provide insulin to about 250 .clinicians.” The discovery then was announced in 1922, “Dr, Banting sold the patent to the University of Toronto for $1, which he never received. He was rewarded, however, by the Nobel prize and an annual $7500 benefice from the Canadian Government. ;

U.S. TEXTBOOKS ARE CRITIGIZED
‘Emphasis Put on Defects,’ Says N. A. M. Committee ~~ Of Educators.
NEW YORK, Feb. 24 (U. P.).— Social science -textbgoks commonly used by 7,000,000 American secondary school children contain much criticism of the American form of government and the system of private enterprise, and the textbooks
a committee of educators reported today in a study prepared for the National: Association of Manufacturers. The committee, headed by Dr. Ralph West Robey, assistant professor of banking at Teachers Col-
lege, Columbia University, examined 600 textbooks on economics, sociology, civics, history and geography. Dr. Robey said they found “a very notable tendency in many of the boaks to play down what this country has accomplished and to place the emphasis on defects.”
Claim Work Was Objective
“The whole emphasis is placed on the one-third of the population who are underfed rather than the twothirds who are well fed,” he said. “They emphasize the small number of large corporations rather than the large number of small ones. The authors point to the very wealthy people . . . rather than to the fact that we have the greatest distribution of wealth in all the world. . . . Yet in most instances you don’t get a leftist point of view; if you had an out-and-out leftist slant it would be much simpler to handle. What you get is a critical attitude that is destructive in its influence.” The N. A. M. had announced that Dr. Robey and his staff had been engaged to make an objective survey, determining the truth or falsity of charges that un-American concepts had crept into textbooks, and Dr. Robey said that “under no circumstances is it (the N. A. M.) going to do anything that might be interpreted as a blacklist or whitelist of American textbooks.”
Mention Rugg Specifically
Dr. Robey was aided in the study by Dr. Ida G. Greaves, formerly of Iowa State College and Barnard College and now with ‘Packer Collegiate Institute; Vladimir D. Kazakevich, lecturer at the American Institute of Banking and an editor of the Marxist publication, Science and Society, and A. Mackenzie Pope, of the staff of University of Vermont and Williams College. Dr. Robey said that “instead of being upset at this study, the teaching profession ought to be pleased to death that someone has financed the work.” Among the 600 authors whose spcial science textbooks 'were studied was Harold Rugg, who has been
