“To think that the Japs will be a push-over is a very dangerous thing,” he said. He described the Japanese as one of the best disciplined armies in

the world, trained to a knife-edge

of war efficiency, and stated that the Chinese war has been a proving ground for the present conflict with the allies. Japs Fanatical

The Jap soldiers he characterized as fanatical last-ditch fighters who welcome the chance to die for their emperor and look upon capture or surrender as a “terrible disgrace.” According to Ambassador Grew the Japanese people are not informed of the real progress of the war. They are allowed no shortwave radios, foreign papers or magazines and their leaders have told them of an almost complete string of Japanese victories, he said. Concerning the relocation of the American-born Japanese, Mr. Grew expressed his hope that, in this democracy, they would not be penalized because of their Japa-

| nese blood.

“We have a melting pot here,” he said, “and most of those people want to be loyal to us. They should not be discriminated against any more than the Italians or Germans. Don’t let's alienate them—give them a chance.”

Lauds OCD’s Work

Lauding the efforts of the OCD throughout the country, Mr. Grew urged the workers to “keep on their toes all the time.” * : “It is perfectly likely for the Japs to stage a suicide attack on our country at any, time,” he warned. Ambassador Grew first learned of the Pearl Harbor attack through a press bulletin at the embassy about five hours after it occurred. The

interned and the story of their months of imprisonment and hardship is a ‘familiar one. The former envoy to Japan, who had served in the ‘Land ofthe Rising Sun almost 10 years, still calls June 25, 1942, “the greatest moment of my life.” It was on that day he sailed for America on an exchange ship. At tonight’s public meeting Mayor Tyndall will preside and introduce the ambassador. The American Legion color guard will present the colors and the Rev. Howard J Baumgartel, executive secretary of the Indianapolis Church federation, will give the invocation. Ralph Wright, supervising' director of music in the public schools, will lead the singing of the national anthem. Mr. Grew will speak ai a luncheon today sponsored by the Indiana Committee for Victory at the Indianapolis Athletic club. Tomorrow he will appear at a luncheon. of the OCD speakers’ bureau and a tea from 3:30 to 5 p. m. in the world war memorial given by the women’s division of OCD. - Other engagements include a dinner tomorrow night by the 11th district of the American: Legion and a luncheon by the Indianapolis Press club Saturday noon. .

"HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT APPLE

Honey 7°% /

NEW MOISTENING AGENT

Old Gold has a new moistening agent to seal in the natural moisture that means freshness in a cigarette. That’s fortunate, because Uncle Sam now needs the glycerine formerly used. Apple “Homey” is a natural wonder at helping keep our fine tobaccos moist and pliable on their way to you.

FROM DELICIOUS, RIPE APPLES

The Eastern Regional Research Laboratory of the U. S. Department of Agriculture first created this new moistening agent . . . extracting from the juice of apples a smooth, golden syrup that looks like homey—bhas about the consistency of boney. That’swhy we named it Apple **Honey."

SPRAYED ON THE OLD GOLD BLEND

Today, we spray Apple Honey’ on our choice Old Gold tobaccos. It helps to seal in the moisture and freshness of each tiny fiber. And in many respects, we think it is better than glycerine. But remember this: Apple “Honey” is not a flavoring. It does not change the taste of Old Golds.

THOUSANDS CHANGING TO OLD GOLDS!

Join the thousands who've changed to Old Golds lately! Enjoy the rich fragrant flavor of fine imported and domestic tobaccos, including Latakia. Their freshness is protected by Apple “Honey” —their taste is unchanged. Get a pack of Old Golds today!
