WHERE THE CREDIT IS DUE A great deal of jubilation has been going on in the halls of State Government over the fact that California’s huge general fund deficit is being whittled down and that income, during the current fiscal year will probably equal or exceed outgo. The reassuring transition from red ink to black in State ledgers is credited by Governor Olson and his finance chiefs to two factors—namely, a heavy reduction in relief costs, and a sharp increase in State revenues resulting from the national defense program. Giving credit where it is due, however, the public should remember that had it not been for the vigorous stand of the Economy Bloc in the Legislature, composed of both Republicans and Democrats, this State would now be paying $50,000,000 in additional taxes, as demanded by the Governor. If new taxes had been voted, of course the money would have been spent, even though subsequent developments have justified the Economy Bloc’s contention that no new taxes were necessary. And we should also remember that the tremendous savings which have been achieved in relief costs—amounting to more than $5,000,000 during the last four months—resulted from the cleanup in relief demanded and ordered by the Legislature. There seems to be a disposition on the part of Governor Olson now to forget his demands for new and higher taxes—and many of the Governor's department heads predict that he will work more harmoniously with the Legislature during its forthcoming session. We hope that is true and certainly we would do nothing to disturb the trend toward more harmonious relations. But in view of the fact that members of the legislative Economy Bloc were condemned and bitterly excoriated while they were making their gallant stand against new taxes—and had to fight off attempts to “purge” them during the recent elections—it is now only fair that they should be given a hearty hand of applause by the taxpayers for whom the fight was made.

Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already. Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, came forth. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with gravclothes; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go." The Lesson-Sermon presents these statements from “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “Jesus restored Lazarus by the understanding that Lazarus had and because, once Greece conquered, the position of Judaia would become untenable. Furthermore, God makes no attempt to explain if Italy was so unprepared, solini sent an ultimatum to government of Athens. Why, Fascists knew that the Greece were ready for them, Il Duo dered his troops to cross the frontier? Even if one were accept Gayda’s lame effort explain away the dismal life showing, obviously one would forced to conclude that Musk has made several astounding blunders. The truth of the matter seems to be that the Façist were egregiously over-confident that they believed that a threat would be sufficient to Greece to her knees. The whelming disillusionment must bitter indeed. But even the death in Greece are only a small part of the appalling reverses Italy has suffered.

Now the greatest of that force is free to engage more useful action, and they can only be a tremendous indiscriminate force in the already great difficulty which Mussolini faces in their deavors to reinforce and abound to supply his ramies in Libya Albania.

Between the Headlines by Fleetwood Lawton AGGRESSION Unprovoked and unprepared—There can no longer many doubt that Mussolini sufd in the first case of his invention of Greece military disassistance which may have to have most important political consequences within Yayda's editor-attempt to explain the unken succession of reverses by king that Italy was not prepared for war, while Greece, aided by Britain, had long been getting ready for an outbreak of such utilities is little more than ludicrous. The conquest of Albania the Fascists had no other purpose than the establishing of a pure base from which eventually Mussolini's domination could be extended to Greece and also to Slovakia. Greece was chosen as the first victim because she was armed as the weaker of the two, because, once Greece wasquered, the position of Jugosla would become completelyenable. Furthermore, Gayda does no attempt to explain why, Italy was so unprepared, Musini sent an ultimatum to the government of Athens. Why, if the fascists knew that the Greeks were ready for them, Il Duce ordered his troops to cross the Greek border? Even if one were to cept Gayda's lame efforts toplain away the dismal Italian THANKSGIVING, 1940 the last occasion when such forces were concentrated on this island it was a prelude to the invasion of the northern portion of French Indo-China.

OKIO GROWS RESTLESS—negotiators between Japan andSria appear to be proceedingcards some kind of an accord,accord declared in Berlin andTokio to be already accomplishthere are signs that Japan isbe more thinking in terms ofehward expansion. between 100,000 and 150,000Japanese troops have been gathered on the island of Hainan On the last occasion when such forceswere concentrated on this islandit was a prelude to the invasion ofthe northern portion of FrenchIndo-China. Today, there is goodreason for belief that the southern end of that same colony is the aimof Japan's generals. Tokio hopes that the so-called China incidentcan be speedily brought to a close either by direct negotiationwith Chiang Kai-Shek or through theaid of Russian pressure uponChina. If this can be accomplished,then masses of Japanese troopswill be freed for use elsewhere,for example, in the invasion of theDutch Indies. But such a movewould be difficult if not impossibleunless bases closer to the objectives could be secured. Southern Indo-China would beideal for this purpose, and Japanse occupation of what remainsof the French colony has long beenunder careful preparation. No mere coincidence has beenthe Siamese agitation againstthe French in Indo-China, for Siamesecollaboration would providea most valuable means of distractingthe French at the crucial moment.The occupation of such navalbases as Saigon and Camranh Baywould give the Japanese fleet anideal jumping off place for operations against Singapore shouldthe British attempt to bar the extensionof Tokio's domination to theOriental territories of Holland.Further, Japan seems to feel reasonably certain that the UnitedStates would not take drasticaction in the event that only theremainder of Indo-China seemedto be involved, particularly if Siam were to make the firstmoveand the Japanese were then tostep in "to preserve order." The stage for this next actin the Orient is almost completelyset, and the seemingly friendlygesture of sending, as the newambassador to Washington, Admiral Nomura, who is knownas an admirer of America, is onlyanother integral portion ofthe play. Nomura's task will beto attempt to restrain theUnited States from actively opposingthe Japanese conquest of all that isleft of Indo-China, and then tobring about if possible theweakening of America's adamant opposition to the extensionof Nippon's domain to includethe Dutch East Indies.
