It begins with the visit of Commodore Perry to Japan 88 years ago. It ends with the visit of two Japanese emissaries to the Secretary of State last Sunday, an hour after Japanese forces had loosed their bombs and machine guns against our flag, our forces and our citizens.

‘ALL OF ONE PATTERN’

T can say with utmost confidence that no Americans today or a thousand years hence need feel anything but prid. in our patience and our efforts through all the years toward achieving a peace in the Pacific which would be fair and honorable to every nation, large or small. And no honest person, today or a thousand years hence, will be able to suppress a sense of indignation and horror at the treachery committed by the military diectators of Japan, under the very shadow of the flag of peace borne by their special envoys in our midst.

The course that Japan has folfowed for the past ten years in Asia has paralleled the course of Hitler and Mussolini in Europe and Africa. Today, it has become far more than a parallel. It is collaboration, actual collaboration so well calculated that all the continents of the world, and all the oceans, are now considered by the Axis strategists as one gigantic battlefield. In 1931, Japan invaded Manchukuo—without warning.

In 1035, Ttaly invaded Ethiopia—

without warning. In 1938, Hitler occupied Austria— without warning. In 1939, Hitler invaded Czecho-Blovakia--without warning. Later in 1939, Hitler invaded Poland—without warning. In 1940, Hitler invaded Norway, Denmark, Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg—without warning. In 1940, -Ijaly attacked France and later Greece—without warning. In 1941, the Axis powers attacked Jugoslavia and Greece and they dominated the Balkans -— without warning. In 1941, Hitler invaded Russia— without warning. And now Japan has attacked Malaya and Thailand —and the United States—without warning. It is all of one pattern.

IN IT ALL THE WAY

We are now in this war. We are all in it—all the way. Every single man, woman and child is a partner fn the most tremendous undertakhg of our American history. We must share together the bad news and the good news, the defeats and the victories — the changing fortunes of war. So far, the news has all been bad. We have suffered a serious setBack in Hawaii. Our forces in the Philippines, which include the brave people of that commonwealth, are taking punishment, but are defending themselves vigorously. The feports from Guam and Wake and Midway islands are still confused, but we must be prepared for the announcement that all these three Outposts have been seized. _ The casualty lists of these first few days will undoubtedly be large. I deeply feel the anxiety of all families of the men in our armed forces and the relatives of people in cities which have been bombed. I ean only give them my solemn promise that they will get news Just as quickly as possible.

will not prove valuable to the enemy directly or indirectly.

REJECT ALL RUMORS

Most earnestly I urge my countrymen to reject all rumors. These ugly little hints of complete disaster fly thick and fast in wartime. They have to be examined and appraised. As an example, I can tell you frankly that until further surveys are made, I have not sufficient information to state the exact damage which has been done to our naval vessels at Pearl Harbor. mittedly the damage is serious. But no one can say how serious until we know how much of this damage can be repaired and how quickly the necessary repairs can be made. I cite as another example a statement made on Sunday night that a Japanese carrier had been lo{cated and sunk off the Canal Zone. And when you hear statements that are attributed to what they call “an authoritative source” you jean be reasonably sure that under | these war circumstances the “authoritative source” was not any person in authority. Many rumors and reports which we now hear originate with enemy sources. For instance, today the Japanese are claiming that as a result of their one action against Hawaii they have gained naval supremacy in the Pacific. This is an old trick of propaganda which has been used innumerable times by the Nazis. The purposes of such fantastic claims are, of course, to spread fear and confusion among us, and to goad us into revealing | military information which our enemies are desperately anxious to | obtain,

COMMUNICATIONS RESTRICTED

Our government will not be caught in this obvious trap—and neither will our people. It must be remembered by each and every one of us that our free and rapid communication must be greatly restricted in war-time. It is not possible to receive full, speedy, accurate reports from distant areas of combat, This is particularly true where naval operations are concerned. For in these days of the marvels of radio it is often impossible for the commanders of various units to report their activities by radio, for the very simple reason that this information would become available to the enemy, and would disclose their position and their plan of defense or attack. Of necessity there will be delays in officially confirming or denying reports of operations, but we will not hide facts from the country if we know the facts and if the enemy will not be aided by their disclosure. To all newspapers and radio stations—all those who reach the eyes and ears of the American people— I say this: You have a most grave responsibility to the nation now and for the duration of this war. I* you feel that your government |is aot disclosing enough of the | truth, you have every right to say so. But—in the absence of all the facts, as revealed by official sources —you have no right in the ethics of patriotism to deal out inconfirmed reports in such a way as to make people believe Lhey are gospel truth.

A STEADY STREAM OF ARMS Every citizen, in every walk of life, shares this same responsibility. The lives of our soldiers and sailors —the whole future of this nation— depend upon the manneg in which leach and every one of us fulfills | ie obligation to our country.

Precious months were gained by sending vast quantities of our war material to the nations of the world still able to resist Axis aggression. Our policy rested on the fundamental truth that the defense of any country resisting Hitler or Japan was in the long run the defense of our own country. That policy has been justified. has given us time, invaluable time, to build our American assembly lines of production. Assembly lines are now in opetation. Others are being rushed to completion. A steady stream of tanks and planes, of guns and ships, of shells and equipment — that is what these eighteen months have given us.

‘A LONG, HARD WAR’

But it is all only a beginning of what has to be done. We must be set to face a long war against |erafty and powerful bandits. The |attack at Pearl Harbor can be repeated at any one of many points |in both oceans and along both our coast lines and against all the rest of the hemisphere. It will not only be a long war, it will ke a hard war. That is the basis on which we now lay all our plans. That is the yardstick by which we measure what we shall need and demand; money, materials, doubled and quadrupled pro duction—ever-increasing. ‘The production must be not only for our own army and navy and air forces. It must reinforce the other armies and navies and air forces fighting the Nazis and the war lords of Japan throughout the Americas and the world. I have been working today on the subject of production. Your government has decided on two broad policies. The first is to speed up all existing production by working on a seven-day week basis in every war industry, including the production of essential raw materials. The second policy, now being put into form, is to rush additions to the capacity of production by build ing more new plants, by adding to old plants, and by using the many smaller plants for war needs. Over the hard road of the past months, we have at times met obstacles and difficulties, divisions and disputes, indifference and eallousness. That is now all past—and, I am sure, forgotten,

PEOPLE PULLING TOGETHER

The fact is that the country now has an organization in Washington built around men and women who are ized experts in their own fields. I think the country knows that the people who are actually responsible in each and every one of these many fields are pulling to gether with a teamwork that has never before been excelled. On the road ahead there lies hard work—gruelling work—day and night, every hour and every minute. I was about to add that ahead there lies sacrifice for all of us. But it is not correct to use that word. The United States does not consider it a sacrifice to do all one can, to give one's best to our nation, when the nation is figh for its existence and its future life. It is nol a sacrifice for any men, old or young, to be in the Army or the Navy of the United States. Rather is it a privilege. It is not a sacrifice for the indus trialist or the wage-earner, the farmer or the shopkeeper, the trainman or the doctor, to pay more taxes, to buy more bonds, to forego extra profits, to work longer or harder at the task for which he is best fitted. Rather it is a privilege.

‘ENOUGH FOOD FOR ALL’

It is not a sacrifice to do without many things to which we are aecustomed if the pational defense calls for doing without. \ A review this morning leads me to the conclusion that at present we shall not have to curtail the normal articles of food. There is enough food for all of us and enough left over to send to those who are fighting on the same side with us. There will be a clear and definite shortage of metals of many kinds for civilian use, for the very good reason that in our increased program we shall need for war purposes more than half of that portion of the principal metals which during the past year have gone into articles for civilian use, We shall have tp give up many things ene tirely. I am sure that the people in every part of the nation are prepared in their individual living to win this war. I am sure they will cheerfully help to pay a large part of its financial cost while it goes on. I am sure they will cheerfully give up those material things they are asked to give up.

And what we all have learned is this: There is no such thing as security for any nation—or any individual—in a world ruled by the principles of gangsterism. There is no such thing as impregnable defense against powerful aggressors who sneak up in the dark and strike without warning. We have learned that our oceangirt hemisphere is not immune from severe attack-—that we cannot measure our safety in terms of miles on any map.

‘WE DIDN'T WANT IT

We may acknowledge that our enemies have performed a brilliant feat of deception, perfectly timed and executed with great skill. It was a thoroughly dishonorable deed, but we must face the fact that modern warfare as conducted in the

ting | Nazi manner is a dirty business.

We don't like it—we didn’t want to get in it—but we are in it and we're going to fight it with every thing we've got. I do not think any American has any doubt of our ability to admin« ister proper punishment to the perpetrators of these crimes. Your government knows that for weeks Germany has been telling Japan that if Japan did not attack the United States, Japan would not share in dividing the spoils with Germany when peace came. She was promised by Germany that if she came’ in she would receive the complete and perpetual control of the whole of the Pacific area—and that means not only the Far East, not only all of the islands in the Pacific, but also a stranglehold on the west coast of North, Central and South America. We also know that Germany and Japan are conducting their military and naval operations in accordance with a joint plan. That plan considers ail peoples and nations which are not helping the Axis powers as common enemies of

each and every one of the Axis powers. That is their simple and obvious grand strategy. That is why the American people must realize that it can be matched only with similar grand strategy. We must realize, for example, that Japanese successes against the United States in the Pacific are helpful’ to German operations in Libya; that any German success against the Caucasus is inevitably an assistance to Japan in her operations against the Dutch East Indies; that a German attack against Algiers or Morocco opens the way to a German attack against South America and the Canal. On the other side of the picture, we must learn to know that guerrilla warfare against the Germans in, let us say, Serbia or Norway, help us; that a successful Rus sian offensive against the Germans helps us; and that British successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

Remember always that Germany and Italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the United States at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with Britain and Russia. And Germany puts all the other republics of the Americas into the category of enemies. The people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that.

‘WE WILL WIN THE PEACE’

The true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. When we resort to force, as now me must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. We Amerjcans are not destroyers—we are builders. e are now in the midst of a war, not for conquest, not for vengeance, but for a world in which this nation, and all that this nation rep-

consular representatives and that Japanese civilians have not been subjected to special restrictions other than those of transportation and communication. The Department said: “Because of the state of war that exists between this Government and the Government of Japan, the following measures have been taken with respect to Japanese nationals in this country: “1. A protective cordon of police has been thrown around the Japanese embassy. The movement of the staff of the embassy has been restricted to the building and the grounds. The police are for the purpose of protecting the staff of the embassy and its embassy.

Police Escort Provided

“Any such person leaving the embassy is accompanied on his trip by a representative of the police to afford him protection. There is no officer of any character of this Government within the embassy. “2. Each Japanese consulate in the United States has received police protection. This protection is in the interest of the protection of the consul and the consular property. There is no other restriction on the movement of the consul. He is free to move about to make whatever purchases may be required. Free to Continue Abode

“3. Japanese civilians in this country have not been subjected to special restriction other than that of transportation and communication. If an individual is suspected of activities inimical to the interests of this country he is taken into custody for questioning. “If he is found incriminated, he is held. If nothing is discovered against him he is set free. Japanese civilians here are free to continue at their abode and to go about their normal activities. “They cannot engage in movements which would necessitate the use of airplane, train, vessel, or bus. They are not permitted to make use of international communica tions.”

FULL BUSTLINE MAKES A YOUNG

GIRL VERY SELF-CONSCIOUS

One of the most constant pleas heard in a Corset Shop, especially] from girls and young women, is an almost piteous, “Please can’t you do something to make me small up here.” (Pointing graphically.) For

despite the movies and the maga-|}

zine cover sweater girls, women and girls with small figures dislike and dislike intensely the fact that they have a large, or full, bustline. As a matter of fact, it goes even deeper than dislike, Girls are ashamed of a full bustline; they try desperately to hide it; and have a constant feeling of self-conscious-ness about it. This self-conscious-ness is the cause of so. much bad posture, shyness and a lack of poise which grows more apparent and more difficult to overcome with ma-

turity. And, unfortunately, this de- |:

liberate bad posture does not achieve the desired results. The young girl with a full bustline usually sits and stands with her shoulders drooped. The result is a

round-shouldered look which spoils |:

any silhouette and worse than that, this rounded shoulder line, instead of minimizing, calls attention to the figure problem she is trying to hide. Contrary to almost universal belief,

this is not a difficult figure problem | :!

to sblve, It is one of the easiest. But it is also the one which we feel can most satisfactorily be solved by a brassiere and a separate girdle. Of the two, the brassiere is by far the more important because on it depends the entire solution of the problem. One of the best solutions we have found to this problem is the Edith Lances brassiere sketched here. It is designed on actual anatomical lines; it is cut on the bias. It does a most happy job of minimizing the bustline without binding; and it gives a beautiful, young, subtle uplift line even while it minimizes. It gives the entire silhouette a beautifully proportioned look; lets a girl hold her shoulders back and straight. Most important, the Edith

Lances brassiere comes in different

cup sizes so that each separate fige ure problem can be fitted individe ually .and perfectly. It has, too, especially designed Edith Lances rolled satin shoulder straps, which rest lightly on the shoulders, do not drag down or cut into the flesh. It:

is 2.50. We have many others in a vast selection at a wide range of prices. If a small figure with a full bustline is one df your problems, do come in and let us help you solve it.
