liw ll‘ .1 l rﬂttts ncquirctl 111121111 by the 'l'ic;1‘.y of lﬁtris .11 the close of tl1e Spanish-JXrn- crican war in 1895. 1n 1919 the joint army and tiztvy board reconnnctidcd that a first class military lit-"c be built at Aprn Harbor in Guam. 'l'l1<-.=o plvns wore dropped in 1922 when the ljtlitctl S Lo, under the naval limitations agreement with Great Britain and Japan, agreed nor to construct xurthcr bases in the Pacific. \\'hcn lapzm (icnouticctl this treaty in I936, the hands of the Vniturl States were freed. Be- Cause of thc islands exposed position, army authorities rcpcatccily advised large scale for- tifications The army-navy plan would have cost some $200,000,000 and have taken two years to build.

In 11120, Prcsident Roosevelt, who clearly saw the shape of things to conic, asked for an ap- propriatiozl of $5,000,000 to improve the de- fences of Guam. The isolationists raised such an tiproar that the money was refused. The‘) feared that this work "might offend Japan ﬂtill lead to war." So Uuam was left largely un- fortified until this year when Congress had a change of heart and appropriated $4»7oo,ooo to improve the harbor and build bomb-proof shel- tcr=. ll the expenditures on the defence of the lfnitcd States in Guam prove again to be to: little and too late, the people of the United States will know where to lay the blame.

National Morale

Commenting on .\lr. Hanson’: suggestion for the formation of a national war government, the Globe and Mail says:

A National Government might not do much more (might even do less) than Mr. King's Government. The point is that to tms of thou- sand: of people it would leem to be doing more; there would be less criticism, and less party sniping, and less suspicion of motives. Canada, in a word, WOlllCl achieve more of unity; more of what is called morale.

Let u: suppose, for example, that tomorrow Mr. King announced he was inviting Mr. Mcighen to his lliinistry, that the two of them together would seek for a. new Ministry the strongest men of all parties and group; and walks of life that this country can nfford--would not that grip the public imagination, stir urto a new unity, to a new sense of national solidarity and power? Would it not give us all fresh heart at a grave hour in this war?

There is something else. The question of selec- tive national service is not going to down in this country_ The demand for it will grow. It will grow as this war stretches out into more years, tvith rletnznid for sacrifices that we now only dim- ly imagine. It will grow until we are forced to come to it. Would it not be the part of wisdom to prepare ourselves for the inevitability of selec- tive service —to prepare ourselves for it before 1t is too latc———hy and with a National Govern- ment? Anyone who knows anything about thc politics and the mind and peculiar difficulties of ~nis country knows the answer.

Philippines In History ._ .____.._.

“Ihe spread of the war to the Far East has placed the island group of the Philippines in the centre of events. 'l'l1csc islands were Spanish by discovery nutl remained Spanish until the treaty ending the Spztuish-Antcrican War when the United States took them over.

The United Slates has had control of the Philippines since December 1o, 1898. The group 0f islands l\ll1>\\‘ll as the Philippines lies in the tropics.

Development Of War

(Farohange)

The crlsLs between the United States and Japan leading to out- break o! host titles, began in the Mukden incident of 1931, now re- garded as the start. of Japan's un- declared war and aggression, under the guise of self-defense.

The step-by-step development to {he climax Sunday occurred a5 fol- ows:

Sept. 18, 1931—Japa.nese troops entered Mukden. Manchurla, and. began the seizure of territory which resulted. 1n the formation of the puppet state of Manchukuo.

B-n. 2'1.

mot-Jayme troop: landed 1n Shanghai, being with- drawn later but leaving increased

Japanese influence. Nov. 5, 1938.-Japa.n signed the untl-Conunlntem pact with Ger-

troops clashed with Chinese outside Pelp- lng, starting the present. Slno-Jap-

anese war.

July 16, 1937.—Secretury of State Cordell Hull enunciated 14 points of United States foreign policy, points which have been the basis of all negotiations with Ja an since then.

Dec. 12, IBZVL-Japmresa planes sank the U. S. S. Pana 1n tho Yangtze River with loss o two lives.

Dec. 30, 1938.—-'1lie United Stan's sent a stiff note to Japan, warning of interference with American rtgrts

"Ammllll °l D1 in China and offering a. treaty con-

ference oowsrd settlement of Aslatlc

July 28, 1939.-—The United Stale! gave notloe of lntentfon to abrogato her commercial treaty with J apart.

f-nce.

Dec. 6, NHL-President Roosevelt appealed to Emperor Hlrchlto, dlr- ectly. for peace on the Paciﬁc.

Such l5 the pattern of trickery cf the Ja. s, a. leaf apparentl taken from t e book of Hitler lmself. But 1f the yellow race think they can conquer the States and Britain by a surprise attack they are doom- ed to surprise. They overlooked the fuel. that. lt 1s not the ﬁrst, but the last, blow which counts most.
