RUSSO-JAPANESE PACT Tokyo must have known it was inevitable. All the straws in the wind pointed in one direction—the wrong direction for Tokyo. If Hirohito and his henchmen were clinging to the hope that they still could gain a victory, that hope is now as badly sunk as the Hon. Japanese Navy. Although the peace treaty with Russia still runs until April 24, 1946, it ceased "running," for all practical purposes, with the announcement from Moscow that the treaty has "lost its meaning." Actually, the treaty has been "limping" for the past three or four years, since Hitler marched into Russia and the Japs attacked us. How soon actual conflict will mostly POLITICS From the volume of talk being generated in Washington about Government financial aid to small business after the war, the casual observer would gather the impression that banks rarely make loans to small enterprises and that unless the Government does it, it won't be done. This, of course, is not so. Actually, thousands of loans are made daily to the hundreds of thousands of small businesses which are so important to the nation. Last year, as an example, in one month alone, the statewide branch banking institution of California made 20,000 unsecured loans for industrial and commercial purposes, aggregating $96 million. Of these, IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts from files of The Quarter Century ago.

This increase of nearly 80 per cent six months. The tract is a distance north of Garden Grove and was bought in October. D. G. Cole of Santa Ana for $16,000. He sold it a time ago to Mr. Long for $20 who is now selling it to B. F. son for $29,000. The crop no longer the trees is estimated as worth $5000.

Actually, the treaty has been "limping" for the past three or four years, since Hitler marched into Russia and the Japs attacked us. How soon actual conflict will break out is a matter of conjecture. Neither the Russians nor the Japs are likely to allow the technicality, that the treaty does not expire until 1946, to stop them from attacking each other if, and when, they decide to do so. By going to war with Tokyo, Stalin would have a good deal to gain now that Germany is tottering on the brink. It would give him a strong voice in the final Pacific peace settlement; it would hasten the defeat of the only nation which poses a serious threat to Siberia; and it would square accounts for the Jap's trickery in the Russo-Japanese war of 1904. Early in the war many of our arm-chair strategists thought Russia should have joined us against the Nips in order to give us air bases close to the Japanese homeland. If Stalin had done this it would have weakened his fight against Hitler, and there is no guaranteed that his Siberian forces were strong enough then to have prevented the Japs from capturing the Siberian air bases. Now both the Russians and ourselves are in a position to gain the greatest advantage from Soviet participation in the far Eastern fight. PAN-AMERICAN DAY Pan-American Day—April 14—has taken on an added significance in the light of the approaching United Nations Conference in San Francisco. The recent Chapultepec agreement whereby the nations of the Western Hemisphere (now including Argentina) agree to act together against any aggression on these two continents, does not run counter to the aims of worldwide cooperation. On the contrary, it has set up a model of international agreement wherein all nations, large and small, are accorded the same rights and considerations. It is a model, incidentally, which might well be followed to a greater degree in the United Nations Organization. When this day was first set ing Argentina) agree to act together against any aggression on these two continents, does not run counter to the aims of worldwide cooperation. On the contrary, it has set up a model of international agreement wherein all nations, large and small, are accorded the same rights and considerations. It is a model, incidentally, which might well be followed to a greater degree in the United Nations Organization. When this day was first set aside by former President Hoover in 1930, its purpose was then, as now, to foster better understanding and closer cooperation between the peoples of North and South America. This purpose has been attained to a substantial degree. Pan-Americanism contributed in no small way to the splendid manner in which our southern neighbors are aiding us in opposing the Axis. Now, even Argentina has come back into the fold, thus reestablishing complete hemispheric solidarity. This 15th anniversary of Pan-American Day the 21 Republics can look back upon encouraging progress and can look forward to greater achievements in their political, cultural and economic relations. MacArthur "TOPS" We are glad to see that General MacArthur was named as the supreme commander of American Army forces in the Pacific. His excellent strategy in leading American forces back to Bataan makes him deserving of this assignment. This action of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has removed all fears of the General and his admirers that he was to play only a secondary role in the final drive on Tokyo.

This is an lease of nearly 80 per cent in months. The tract is a short distance north of Garden Grove it was bought in October by G. Cole of Santa Ana for $16,000.

A meeting will be held in the near future for the purpose of organizing on a permanent basis. The benefits to be derived from an organization of this kind are manifold, and it is of the utmost importance that our citizens lend a helping hand to fostering the enterprise. The time is now well advanced for our wide-awake and progressive citizens to bestir themselves and plan our city in the front rank of progress. Time and energy expended in this way will be amply repaid, and it rests with our people to see that our advantages are not neglected. The completion of our electric light plant was fittingly observed by our citizens last Thursday evening. The news of the celebration had been heralded throughout the county and the immense throng in attendance joined in the celebra- Haster Estate Willed to Widow And Children Thomas Haster, prominent Anaheim citrus rancher and nurseryman, who passed away on March 29, has left his large estate, valued at $20,000 annual income, to his widow, Annie K.

The news of the celebration had been heralded throughout the county and the immense throng in attendance joined in the celebration with a true patriotic spirit. Excursions from the surrounding towns centered here and at 8 o'clock in the evening fully 2,500 people thronged our city. A brass band headed our Chamber of Commerce and citizens in general on their march to the Santa Fe depot and on the arrival of the special train from the county seat, the citizens of that city and elsewhere were cordially received and tendered the hospitality of our city. The festivities were held in the Opera house which was filled, many being unable to gain admission. The electrical display was a grand sight to behold. Mr. W. J. Fay presided at the meeting and Mr. Richard Melrose was introduced as the speaker of the evening. Mr. Charles Lorena, the oldest original pioneer, "pressed the button" and the flood of brilliant electric light was turned on. The Fiesta committee have selected the following young ladies to represent Orange county in the parade tomorrow: Miss Cora Lewis, Goddess of Orange county; maids, Miss Mable Nickey of Santa Ana, Miss Cora Wilbur, Orange, Miss Nora Stone, Placentia, Miss Lauretta Smith, Fullerton, Miss Nellie Tuffree, Anaheim, Miss Irene Fleming, Brookshurst.

The party composed of Sara Mattis, John Mattis, Lillie Patton, Roy Davis, Ralph Davis and Blakeankenberry. The question of a community issue is now being discussed in the city. Nearly all societies and churches agree that we should be such an institution. Mr. Max Nebelung has so far covered that she was removed week from the sanitarium to home of her daughter Mrs. Dunner. John Everharty has been engaged lately in setting a tract of 21 acres of land west of town to budded Washington navels.

Red Cross Sec'y Fractures Hip In Home Accident Mrs. Katherine Wheeler of 502 North Lemon street, secretary at the Anaheim chapter of the American Red Cross, suffered a fractured hip and a shoulder dislocation Wednesday of last week when she slipped in her kitchen as she turned from the sink to a nearby cupboard. The accident occurred about six o'clock as she was preparing dinner. She was taken immediately to the Anaheim Lutheran hospital where she is now resting easily. She is looking forward to a quick recovery and hopes to be back at her post before too many weeks. One of the hardest and most faithful volunteer workers at the Red Cross, it was only late in February that she became office secretary. She makes her home with her sister, Mrs. Emma Karlen. A newspaper is the history for one day of the world in which we live, and with which we are consequently more concerned than with those which have passed away and exist only in remembrance.—Bishop Horne.
