It is now a very trying time for
the farmers. Some of them are not
through thinning cotton and I do
not remember ever seeing anything
like this before. The season from
now out is going to have to be very
favorable for farmers to make any
thing at all.

GEORGE NICHOLAS SEGER
Hon. William H. Stuphin
In Congressional Record: House of
Representatives
l rise to pay my respects to my col
league, the gentleman from New Jer
sey, George N. Seger, who, after
nine terms of consecutive service in
this body has passed to his greater
reward. Respected, and much Ibved
by his colleagues and by the people
he served, he has earned an honored
place among those who served State
and Nation.
George Seger is remembered for
his kindliness, for his conscientious
service in ths House, and for the
personal and understanding manner
in which he helped the people of his
constituency. His service was beyond
partisanship, beyond what many
would consider the responsibility of a
Member.
This venerable gentleman from
across the aisle was my friend, and
was a friend to every Member in the
House. He radiated geniality, and
in his full life of three score and fif
teen years was never known to bear
enmity toward anyone.
Revered, loved, and respected,
George Seger carved a niche for him
self in the hearts of all who knew
him.

From the Oregonian, Portland Oreg.
During the first three months of
1940 there were no restrictions on ex
port of gasoline to Japan and other
countries outside the Western Hem
isphere. The embargo on export of
aviation gasoline, the commodity pre
sumed to be essential to effective op
eration of war planes, was ordered
on July 31. Yet a dispatch from
Washington tells us that in the first
3 months of this year Japan imported
from this country five times "as much
gasoline as it imported in the cor
responding 3 months of a year ago,
when there were no restrictions.
The gasoline thus going in much
greater quantity to Japan may be as
sumed not to be aviation gasoline. It
includes, however, much high-grade
gasoline, which by the addition of an
tiknock ingredients, can be converted
into aviation gasoline. And the con
current export from this country of
$110,000 worth of antiknock prepara
tions to Japan reveals that conversion
of the fuel into aviation fuel is its
trtie destination.
Our sympathies are strongly with
China in the war now going on in the
Orient. Our material interests also lie
in the success of Chinese resistence
to the Japanese “new order.” We give
practical aid to China in the form of
loans, and sell Japan be fuel neces
sary to bomb the Chinese armies from
the air. Moreover, our own relations
with Japan are precarious, and the
thought that persists among us on
the Pacific coast is that these delicate
relations may be broken and that the
airplane fuel that we sold to Japan
may propel planes which will bomb
our cities.
The same dispatch telle us that the
administration is fully cognizant of
the situation and is permitting ex
port to Japan of stragetie materials
for the time being for very good rea
sons. Two reasons are ciued. They are
not very good reasons. One is ap
peasement. The other, that it is Am
erica’s policy to lull Japan into a
sense of false security, and corres
ponding neglect of reserve stock
building, so that when and if we do
stop shipments the embargo will be
an effective one. The spokesman for
these wo doctrines was no doubt dis
sembling. And it may well be that
officially to sot forth the true reasons
would be ill-advised.
It is a fair supposition that the
watchful-waiting strategists are for
the time being in the ascendancy in
Washington with respect to policies
in the Orient. Word has hitherto
come forth that there are two schools
of opinion on this branch of foreign
policy. One is that Japan understands
only direct action or force, is in no
position to make reprisal, and if it
took the headlong ohance would be
made short work of. The other argu
ment, the one that seemingly predom
inates, is that Japan is poised in the
south China sea for attempted seiz
ure of Malaya and the East Indies,
and if we embargo essential war ma
terials woufe strike recklessly and
effectively enough to cut off for a
long time our access to stragetie ma
terials obtainable only in the Far
East in quantities sufficient for our
own defense program.
The United States is dependent in
whole or major part on the Asiastic
southeast for 5 of the 14 commodi
ties listed by the Army and Navy as
stragetie materials. The 5 are rub
ber, tin, tungsten, Manila fiber, and
quinine. We have been depending on
that region for 98 per cent of our
rubber and 80 percent of our tin.
Moves have been taken to build up
stocks in these materials and develop
new sources of supplies and substi
tutes.
The situation resolves itself into a
question of whether our own vulnera
bility with respect to stragetie mat
erials has been overcome, and wheth
er Japan’s vulnerability as a naval
power is correctly estimated. That a
show-down approaches is implied by
Ja -an’s new pressure on the Nether-
land East Indies for release to Japan
of quantities of petroleum, rubber,
and tin. Japan fears a drying up of
the imports from America. The three
commodities are essentials to success
ful warfare on defense, but so are
automobiles and automobile parts
and machinery, and scrap metals,
these last not to be obtained by Jap
an anywhere in the word at present
unless it be from the Uniwd States.
The squeeze of a complete embargo
on export of war materials to Jap
an would seemingly strangle Japan
in short order notwithstanding sta
tistical comparisons of Japan’s naval
strength with that part of ours which
could be spared for operations in the
Pacific. The Government may know
what it is doing when gasoline is per
mitted to go to Japan in growing
volume, but the people do not think
so. Last fall a Gallup poll showed 90
percent of those participating to be
in favor of a complete embargo.
Tick Bite Paralyzes
Charleston Child
News and Courier.
Four-year-old Esther Mae Fogle, of
McClellanville, none the worse as a
result of a rare malady known as
tick paralysis, yesterday was declar
ed “perfectly normal” after an exa
mination at Roper hospital.
After a tick identified as “derma-
centor variabilis”, as large as the
diameter of a lead pencil, was taken
from her soalp, she made rapid re
covery and was allowed to leave the
hospital. . i 'i!| V
Exactly one month ago, Esther
Mae, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leon
Fogle, of the Mcdellansville section,
was brought to Roper hospital. A
physician vyiho had examined her in
McClellaniviUe notified physicians of
Roper’s pediatrics ward that her
symptoms resembled poliomyelitis
(infantile paralysis).
Tests showed that her reflexes
were practical nil. But a spinal tap
showed no evidence of the polio germ.
Slowly she was losing control of her
limbs and becoming helpless. While
physicians were hard at work trying
to determine the cause of her para
lytic state, she was put to bed in the
hospital.'
Two days after she was admitted,
a student nurse was combing the
child’s hair. Shb combed out the tick,
alertly kept it alive and turned over
the culprit to the physician in charge
of the pediatrics wand.
The tick then was made ready for
its trip to Washington, where it ar
rived alive, to be Identified by labora
tory workers. Physicians at the hos
pital here said workers at the labora
tory planned to attach the tick to a
dog to detemine if the dog would be
paralyzed. But the success of this
experiment was doubted; bceause
from limited knowledge of ticks, it
was pointed out that the modest ap
petite of a tick apparently is satis
fied after filling itself on the first
victim. 4
Physicians here said such cases
rarely are fatal because usually the
tick is found in time. Sometimes, how
ever, if the tick is not found, the con
tinued presence of the tick can cause
death. As in the case of Esther Mae,
an almost immediate improvement is
noted as soon as the tick is discover
ed and removed. The paralysis ceases
and soon the victim returns to nor
mal.
Physicians here said this case is
.believed to be |he third one east of
.the Rocky mountains. Tick paralysis
is not uncommon on the West Coast
where “Rocky Mountain Fever" is
too common.
The culprit which nearly sapped
the life of the Fogle child was said
to be no particular rarity in that it
was generally believed to be of the
common wood tick variety. Its rarity
lay in the fact that it was poisonous
to the victim.
One of the physician* who studied
■ the case of the young girl described
the symptoms as first being a sensa-
ton of tingling or slight numbness of
the limbs, “then she couldn’t stand,
and then paralysis set in and remain
ed until the tick was removed.”
