At that time the league had about ceased to i function for lack of public and financial and very little attention was given to the warning, and probably b'ss to help stop the nefarious business Now. however, with Japan in world i spotlight the charge is renewed. Sources I believed to lie reliable report that Japanese are not only increasing the production oi opium in the lands they have taken from China, hut encouraging opium smok- i ing by the Chinese who are under their iron fist.

The Japanese suppressing the use ot opium among their own people, however. The Japanese have a twofold purpose in this. They wish to increase their I and to weaken Chinese morale. Not only has Japan furthered the growing of the opium poppy in lands wrested from China encouraged opium smoking among the Chinese, but she has placed no restriction on the conversion of poppies into heroin rireri and morphine. Before the war with Japan started much of this was smuggled into Cnited States through Kgvpt.

It is 1 sli( kers began to understand oing on here Other Editorial Comments people that wood is no longer necessary, or at least to such slight degree that finding a substitute for the limited amount of it needed would be a small task. But when economic changes sweep over a country many materials, seemingly no longer deeper significance than anyon needed, become of great importance.

--------------------------------Such is the case of wood at this time. For w'hile this material has always play- 1 eri an important role in industry, the presence of so many things made exclusively of metal somehow has left the impression that a designer or eueineer can turn to metal for eveiy purpose. But such is not I the esse. Modern warfare still needs wood in its 1 basic form of lumber ami logs, l.umber re quired simply for the boxes and crates for shipping munitions, food, and other military aud f'sseniiai civilian supplies totals twelve billion board feet. Arid to this wood for cargo trucks, ieeps.

aircraft, boats, landing barges, warehouses, bridges, barracks and a thousand other uses, and the total reaches the forty billion mark. And yet this does not include many mil- 1 lions of square feet of veneer and plywood. Officers in charge at the fiont have their problems of handling men and facing 1 the enemy, but the men on whose should- I ers fall the task of supplying this vast amount of lumber also have their diffieul- ties. In the first place, ihe sawmill inrius- I try must maintain a rate of output at least one-third more than the pre-war level. Normally, this would not be riiffi- 1 cult, for the lumber industry has sufficient machine capacitj and limber resources.

1 But men must be employed to cut timber and operate the machines, also equip- 1 ment must be kept in repair an equipment replaced. Tires, trucks, tract and cable are essential.

It was probably the first time a British Ambassador conferred with a prominent Negro leader. The first conference occurred in New York City a year ago anri came close tn having reverber- a i consequences White, who heads one of ihe most important negro organizations in the Initeri States, had had some correspondence with Prime Minister Churchill regarding the status ot negroes in the British West Inriies. Churchill forwarded this correspondence to his Ambassador in Washington, who in turn conferred with White at the home of Thomas l.amont, of the J.

This brought the following remark from White: Excellency, do you want to confine this conversation to the United States or may we talk about other parts of the world which affect the Fniteri States." Lorri Halifax looked a bit surprised, but replied that he would he glari to talk about the entire world. Whereupon White pointed out that the Indian question had a great effect upon negroes in the Fniteri States anri their war morale.
