WAR WITH JArAN General William Mitchell is back in the headlines again, this time to pre dict in an article in Liberty Maga zine that a war between the United States and Japan is inevitable. The fiery Marine is always interesting, if sensational, and often times he has been more st-nsible than otherwise, and this occasion may be no exception to the general rule. For a generation the jingoes have said that a Japanese-American con flict would eventually develop. We remember that as a grammar grade boy. we used to argue with school mates that the United States could whip Japan. General Mitchell says the Mikado's government is not afraid of Uncle Sam's navy, aad is bold to declare that the Oriental kingdom ex pects such a conflict and is getting ready for it. He ventures the further opinion that the United States is not ready for such a test of strength. Per haps If we were, the day of Its be ginning would be nearer at hand. The former Marine Corps of ficer says the issue at stake will be two-fold, one objective being for the supremacy of Asia and the other the very existence of Japan as a world power. Japan, he thinks, would attack the American fleet soon after it left Hawaii for the Far East, but that Ja pan would be at a great disadvantage In the air. Experts have said ever since the last war that the next war vould be in the air. In that respect, neither of the two nations has re sources to brag but very much more in this country than in the East. Japanese aggression in Manchuria ami other parts of China have not ad- 1 vanced the cause of world peace. The offensive launched by Japan last fall, and which has been pursued in de fiance of the proiests of the rest of the world, has exemplified an arro gance almost equal to that of Germany in the invasion of Belgium in 1914. and the numerous treaties signed by the loading world powers since the World War. all of which Japan was a party to. have not deterred her in the effort to achieve ambitions for ex pansion. In international relations, small grievances hav c been magnified until they have become tremendous obstac les that led to armed conflict. With the aid of the jingoes, these little sparks could be fanned into a roaring Inferno of hatred that might drive the United States and Japan at each oth er’s throat. Such a war may be un thinkable. but It is not Impossible. It certAlniy is preventable. War is not wanted by this country. It ha« no in terest in the Far East that could not be amicably cared for without hosti lities as a means of settling differ ences. There is no quarrel here with Japan of such proportions as to justify a fight. It would be foolhardy to shut our eyes to what Is going on in the world, yet there ought to be enough good sense left in i<oth countries to avert any outbreak either at this time or In the remote future. General Mitchell's assertion may be the warning of a far-sighted patriot. Or it may be but the ebullition of a fire-eating soldier. He may be on the right track, but hla remarks at this time would appear to be a trifle pre mature. Needed Now! Six months from now, or a year or two yean hence and even longer than that, there will still be need for the service the First National Bank can render to this community, but probab ly not In a long, long while will there be the preening and Imperative need that exists right now. That Is why no time should be lost In reviving the bank and restoring it to its former place of Influence and helpfulness in this section of the State. Stockholders of the bank know this, and are working on a plan looking to that end. We do not know enough about banking to tell them what to do or how to do it; we are not conceited enough to presume any BUch know ledge. But men who do know say the bank can be reopened if there Is the will to reopen it. For our part, we believe there is likewise the will. When a receiver Is appointed, if he finds the bank will not be revived one of his first acts will be to levy the liability assessment on stockhold ers. That would be 5200,000. or the equivalent of the bank’s outstanding stock. When that is paid in, if un der a Federal liquidation, the money Is gone. If a like amount, or half of it, say SIOO,OOO. is paid in to reopen the bank, even with frozen deposits, there will be no additional liability, other than what already exists now. and opportunity will have been offer ed to continue a service to the com munity. Business concerns and indi viduals who have paper in the bank will not be done to death in demands for payment, though that is not say ing (hey will be under a receivership. But a local institution, with a know ledge of and a sympathy for local problems, could and would serve the community to infinitely greater ad vantage. Business in Henderson is being hampered by the closing of the bank, in that it has tied up large sums of money and withdrawn from many concerns the working capital they had on hand in the bank. The necessity of doing without the money tempor arily, however, i-s not so serious as the uncertainty as to what to look for. STILL THE MASTER MIND Last Tuesday's election in Louisiana leaves Governor Huey Long still mas ter of the political life of the state. His candidate for governor, who will succeed him in office when he drops the reins to go to the United States Senate, won out over the field by an overwhelming margin, and take ioffice to carry on in furthering Long's policies. Governor Long is another of several men whose spectacular careers have seemed to rivet the public mind in these recent years. His colleague. Governor Murray of Oklahoma, is one of their ow n constituents. Their poli cies have been attacked and charac terized as radical and unsound. Yet they continue to ride the creet of the wave of populai approval, and Louis iana has juet given added proof that it moves swiftly when the young mas ter cracks the whip. Whatever else may be said of Long, it must be conceded that he at least has a plan, and has offered a defi nite basis of action. He gives the im pression that he knows where he is going and is on his way there. Many men In public life do a good deal of talking but much less acting They are prone to tear down instead of to build up. They know how to criti cize, but they have no positive remedy for the conditions which they de nounce. Thai is true of a lot of folks who are not even In public office. Huey Long appeared on the stage of Louisiana politics only a few years ago He dashed i n like a flash rising from nothing and from just nowhere, as it were. He is a young man, on the sunny side of 40, but a fellow- who made promises and has done a fairly good job of keeping them, despite his so-called radicalism. He advocated departures from the old ways, an had the courage and the personality to attract a following, and because of that has built up a tremendous jjpli tical machine In his own state, wfth th>" gears well oiled and running smooth ly. His latest triumph shows him to be ilill the master mind In oontrol. The Young Women’s Christian As sociation of the United States has a membership of over 600,000.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 1982 Merchants hesitate, through what ap- PR« to them to be the part of wis dom or from sheer inability to do otherwise, to make commitments. The flow of trade is thus slowed down and suffering Is the result. The fact that the bank Is closed I affecting nearly every one, both those who had money on deposit and those who did not even do business with the First National. It is, therefore, ; community obligation to work and cooperate to the end that the situation may be improved by ti. e reopening of the bank. Whatever Is to be done should b accomplished with the minimum of delay. Six months or a year fro now, such damage as might result from the closing of the bank will have been done. If a store or a shop is hanging on by the skin of the teeth to see what is going to happen, that establishment, If indefinitely denied the assistance it so greatly needs, may be unable U> survive and may be forced to shut down, whereas if help is extended now it may be able to continue. There are many reasons why the Firet National ought to be restored to the commercial life of Henderson at the earliest possible moment. There are a number of gentlemen and even ladies who hold it within their power to bring this about. And by coopera tion and the manifestation of the spirit of good will of which Hender son is capable it will be possible. Our information is that interests who held no stock in the old bank are ready to lend their assistance in bringing it back. This combined effort can save the day for this city and section now. No property owner's holdings are as valuable in Henderson today as they were a month ago before the First National closed. That value will be restored If the bank can be put back Into operation. Such losses will be of a more or less permanent nature un less the bank is reopened to hearten and inspire our people. The time for action is NOW. The need is more pressing NOW, before it is too late, than It ever will be again. TODAY TODAY'S ANNIVERSARIES. 1561—Francis Bacon, among Britain’s greatest of philosophers and es sayists, born.
