' £r since the Russo-Japanese War 1 over the rich and fertile province of -Ianchor.a, the struggle in the Or er.t ha.> continued. Japan, being situated on an island, is rapidly be -■ mirg over-populated and seeks -her 1 elds for expansion for her an over-flow. China _of coui'se ou!d be the proper spot upon which <> expand; hence, she fights China for this exclusive privilege. However, Japan realizes further i that the eyes of the world are focused | uoon China for another purpose and that is namely: For exploitation. Ev erybody knows that China, with her land rich in natural resources which modern means of experimentation, re. | search and engineering have just be gun to touch above the surface, is a land of 400,000,000 inhabitants, most v. hom still live in ignorance. Japan knows that it would be dan gerous to allov* any other country to nterefer with China; she envisions the idea that if she should conquer by force, the Chinese, enlighten their messes intellectually and train the Chinese in the modern art of war far'1. She would not only promote her expansion, but would also perfect a_ strong and well organized military machine which could be thrown toget her with that of Japan and would be able to master the whole civilized world, if necessary. She might, one day in the distant ^ears. be able to perform this miracle, but its a super human sized job to tackle, throwing a small army of vcdl trained soldier* against a massive and diversified hu man wrall of 400,000,000 human souls. * * *r Writer’s Note:—Watch this column every week and you will read the truth exposed politically, wherever warranted, regardless of political connections.

CONVICT I CAMP AND ENDANGERS LIVES OF 100 PRISONERS Richmond, Va., (CNS) One hun dred Negro’convicts narrowly escaped death at 2 o’clock the morning of January 26, when the building that ! housed them, as they were chained to S their bunks, was blown down at a prison camp near this city. Guards extricated the men from the i wreckage and there was no attempt ! to escape. One. man, slightly injur ed, was brought to the penitentiary here for treatment, Stoves 5 in the building were overturned, but the live coals fell on a concrete floor and did not caus.e a general fire. Major Rice M. Yoael, superintend ent of the penitentiary, who made an investigation, said that the lack of any attempt at a break for freedom and the excellent discipline shown by j the men during their trying exper ience were regarded by him as ‘a com pliment to both guards and prison ers.” DESTINY by R. A. ADAMS (The Literary Service Bureau) Heed not when men may senseless prate, “Just take life as you find it,” And what you hear of ‘luck,’ or ‘fate’, 'Twere wisdom not to mind it, For every man is, verily, Master of his own destiny, t i! * [■-*• ij Note this: Dreams never “just come true;” Success comes by contriving What noblest is and best, to do, And unremittent striving .In every way by which you can For consummation of your plan. Let us therefore, remember this— With fullest credence take it; Let men think right, or think amiss, Life still is what we make it, Ahd we, acknowledge or denied, Must our own destiny decide. LOOKING BACK by Videtta Ish MAKING CHILDREN WAIT (The Literary Service Bureau) Children are human beings—even little children. And this should be remembered in dealing with them. All of us remember some thing that seemed unfair. Among these is the old custom of making children wait while their elders eat. This was be cause it was considered unwise and almost disrespectful to have children eat at the same table with the older folk. Fears, anxieties, disappoint ments, and childish anger were ex perienced but the little sufferers did not dare hint of such things. In fact, as a general thing, they were not near enough to give any indication of displeasure. But, was it fair? Because of such experiences I hare had my children sit at the table with the family and with our guests. Not only is this justice to the children, but it has its cultural influences. Children will be more careful, eating at the tabe with their elders than they will be eatinc alone. But, anyway, it seems almost barbarous to make ' children wait and be consumed by the fear that the supply will be exhausted —as is true sometimes! WAR VETERANS TO CONSOLI DATE ORGANIZATIONS Atlanta.
