Iji estimating the probable effect of defeat on the temper and morale of the Japanese people, one does well to bear in mind two sets of considerations peculiar tn Jan. amonir the Axis Powers. The first is The second consideration is the extent to which Japanese public opinion has for years been misled and bamboozled by military and reactionary propaganda. Great as has been the fooling of the Germans by the Nazis, it falls short of the fooling of the Jap-anese, by their Army. Taught almost from the cradle to believe in the, divinity of the Imperial House, in the racial superiority and invincibility "of the Japanese people, in the divine nature of Japan's mission to lead and control the other peoples of the Orient; in-, doctrinated .from an early age with totalitarian the- ories; misled about the progress of the present war! and the issues at stake to an extent which would put even Dr. Goebbels to shame, the Japanese people are less prepared spiritually to face disillusionment and defeat than any other people. Even those crucial checks to Japan's outward surge the battles of the Coral Sea and Midway were announced in Japan as great Japanese victories. A morale based on so complete a misrepresentation of the facts is of that brittle type which is liable to crack under the sudden impact of overwhelming popular disillusionment. . To disillusion the Japs, first and foremost, of course, is the administration to the armed forces of Japan of a series of defeats so decisive that their true nature and import can no longer be hidden from the Japanese people. And in particular there must be defeats of the Japanese Army in the field such as will discredit it in the eyes of the Japanese people. The Army must not be left, like the German Army in 1918, to place the blame for disaster on others. In Eastern Asia no abiding peace is possible until the Japanese Army has not only been disarmed and disbanded but more important still so discredited that it can never again become a force, let alone a dominating force, in Japanese politics. ACTIVITIES OF Y.M.CA. and Y.W.C.A. By DOROTHY OARBUTTt I have In my possession a booklet brought out in cummem-; ciatlon of eighty years of Y.W.C.A. work in Great Britain from ; 1855 until 1935. It is most interesting and I think the pSges ! dealing with the War Services of the Y.W.C.A. during the tort wit t especially so. I am quoting these i in detail'.. The article, under the 1 heading, "During the War Years. 1914-1919." says: "During the Great War the British Y.W.CJV. was able to perform two services: "(a) During the first wwks to help the women and girls of other " nationalities who wete cau . . ...... ; LUtlClili ...v.. 1 "(b) and. a V little later, to be of use to those women and girls who came forward to help In the work of the country.

MONEY GOES ON, BLUE GILLETTE BLADES "AND il wl one good reason hy Blue Gillette Dlades are genuine money-savers is that tJiey are made of steel hard enough to cut glass which means they take an edge and hold it for one swell shave after another. "What's more, you'll find that this e'xtra-keen, extra-durable Blue Gillette Blade not only lasts far longer than ordinary blades, but also gives you easier shaves." p" THE DAItV KEW3 V.D. TALK TO GYROS Venereal Disease lias Most Tra gie Hnult, Commercialized Prostitution Principal Source. "Nothing results In more downright poverty, misery and expense than venereal disease It fills the poor houses and, the hospitals. It Is a problem thai is not to be viewed in any llght-hearte"d manner." So declared Lieut4-Col. F. E. Coy, commanding officer of the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps for this area. In speaking bsfore the Prince Rupert Oyro Club at luncheon yesterday, his r L , 'address being appropriate to the .u .K "e? ght helpless by the outbreak ; cJ,.n. ww campalgn. His subject was "What the Army Is Doing to Control the Venereal Disease Situation." There had been 35,000 cases oi venereal disease in the threi armed si vices. Dr. Coy said, and the cost of treatment had been $8,000,000. Venereal disease was Z JIJa ZZZ 7nA I no more extensive in the men o-Hundreds of such, alarmed and;,. 1 than in . civilians, ,,. anxious as they naturally must have been, we;e housed, fed and comforted; their permits and passports ai ranged for, and themselves finally seen off In special trains provided by the w."v"- men me rusn oi ucigian refugees into this country (Great Britain began. Large numbers were accomodated by the gov-e:nment at Earl's Court, where . open- un- the services only the situation among the latter was not made public. The army approached the venereal disease problem from two angles social and personal. It had been established that the principal source of inlectlor imand the Incidence of venereal 1 disease in mn ot the services was only one out of 76. whereas in Montreal it was one out of sixteen.

'inese influences were none the less powerful for beiqg unobtrusive and for avoiding open controversy with the more vocal extremist elements. But behind the scenes the struggle was bitter. It was not until the collapse of France in the summer of 1940 and the apparently imminent defeat of Britain that the nationalists broke through these restraining bonds. Matsuoka was able to conclude his Tripartite Pact with the Axis Powers. Even then the die was not finally cast. It was not until July, 1941 (five months before Pearl Harbor) that General Tojo became Prime Minister and the Army assumed full control of the government. Nevertheless, those powerful moderating influences have never been "liquidated" in the sense that similar opposition elements have been liquidated in Nazi Germany. When the present tyrannical military regime begins to lose its grip on the country, they are likely to re-emerge from the shadows and may play an important, part in the overthrow of the military domination. This does not of course mean that we should be prepared to negotiate a compromise peace with such elements, even if in control of the government: our terms are unconditional surrender. v . .

Commercialized prostitution had many ramifications and there were sometime? difficulties tn combatting It owing to so rriany people making money ou of It one way or another. Take the profit out of foml- '.at:cn and you will go j Ions way towa ds controlling vener al disease.'' Col. Coy agreed.

Medical otflcers gave lectures and showed films to Impress the horrors of venereal disease. However, not too much faith was placed .n the effectiveness of these personal effoits so there was a follow-up with early preventative treatment. As every lmpromis-cuous sexual exposure offered a 100 percent chance of contracting venereal disease. Instruction was given in prophylatlc treatments.
