But kidneys sometimes lag in their work—do not act as Nature intended—fail to re move imparities that, if retained, may poison the system and opaet the whole body machinery. Symptoms may be nagging backache, persistent headache, attacks of dizziness, getting up nights, swelling, puffiness under the eyes—a feeling of nervous anxiety and loss of pep and strength. Other signs of kidney or bladder dis order are sometimes burning, scanty or too frequent urination. There should be no doubt that prompt treatment is wiser than neglect. Uao Doan’s Pills.

C. FEAR OF COAL STRIKE Biggest problem on the labor hori zon is the definitely looming pos- siblity of a national coal strike on April 1. Industry fears it, the gov ernment fears it, but even more, perhaps, other labor leaders fear it. They fear that bull-headed John L. Lewis, head of the miners, will precipitate a strike which will blacken the eye of the entire labor movement, further undermining public confidence in labor. “Bull Jack” Lewis, as they call him, be longs neither to the AFL nor the CIO, and the executives of both are worried over the effect which a strike called by the miners would have on their organizations. For, they point out, the public does not discriminate between different la bor unions in time of crisis. Negotiations for a new coal con tract are scheduled to begin March 1 between John L. Lewis and the coal operators. This gives 30 days in which to reach .an agreement. Last year, however, the negotiations started earlier, and, even so, didn’t conclude by March 31. Meanwhile, Secretary Ickes, in order to head off a mine shut down, has sent a letter both to the coal operators and John L. Lewis proposing that they continue the present wage agreement for another year. The coal operators are onderstood to be ready to agree to this pro posal. John L. Lewis’s office, however, sent a delaying reply. His secre tary wrote Ickes that Lewis was “absent from the city.” This prob ably means that Lewis is conferring with his mine lieutenants before he sends Ickes a final decision. • * a WHY RUSSIANS WAITED U. S. military strategists now dis close two reasons why the great Russian winter offensive was de layed. The first problem was one of sup plies. Although the red army had the bulk of the equipment it needed, deliveries of several rela tively small but highly important items were delayed. One of the items they waited for was several million tons of canned beef which midwestem packing firms have been producing since Russia entered the war. Red army front-line troops live al most entirely on this canned beef during offensives. The packers knew they had a deadline to make on their order, but couldn’t get enough manpower to do the job. As the days rolled by, even office work ers were drafted to the pro duction line. However, the shipment wasn’t ready until weeks after the date set by the Russians. The same was true of several other impor tant products. In the end, the Brit ish dipped into their own stockpiles in England, and shipped the neces sary material to fully equip the Red army. Finally, when the great of fensive was about to start in Mid-December, an unseasonable thaw set in on the eastern front, bogging down the Red army equipment. The Russians had massed tremendous new Stalin tanks, larger than any thing either the Germans or the other Allies have seen. These could not be moved except over frozen terrain. When the front froze solid again, Stalin gave the word and the long-delayed win ter offensive began. • • • BRITISH PROPOSE KEEPING HIROHITO Very little appeared in the papers about it, but highly important poli cies regarding future relations with Japan were discussed at the recent institute of Pacific relations at Hot Springs, Va. Most important of all was a proposal by the British to retain Emperor Hirohito and the Japanese ruling class in the post war setup of Japan. Sir Paul Butler, leading adviser to the British foreign office, led the appeal for Hirohito. Behind closed doors at the swank Homestead hotel, Butler made this blunt pronouncement: “No alterna tive to a monarchial system, under the present emperor or some other member of his family, is likely to provide the focus of stability which will be essential if the state is not to dissolve into chaos in the impend ing crisis.” Other United Nations delegates also were vigorously opposed to the British policy of appeasing the emperor. Most significant of all was the position of the British domin ions—Canada, Aunt^alia and New Zealand—which split with the dele gation from the British Isles itself. • * • CAPITAL CHAFF C New York’s ex-lieutenant-gover- nor, Charles Poletti, has been do ing an A-l job in Italy.

India’s Sikhs Honor Their Royal Martyrs The Sikhs are the warriors of “Mother India.” Leader of the 5 million is the Maharajah of Patiala, 33, of the state of Patiala. On December 27 they staged a great festival to honor "the founder of their religion. Guru Gobind Singh, and his two sons who became martyrs. The story goes that the sons of Guru were taken and held hostage by Moslems in an attempt to fdrqe’Hheir father to give up his religion. He refused, and the Moslems built a tomb around the seven and niuefyear-old boys, burying them alive. Center shows the Maharajah, shoeless, carrying the first basket of earth from the site of the new shrine. Right shows the warriors in colorful contingent.

Undoubt edly subversive activity in this coun try is responsible for spreading of such misinformation. By making known the true facts you could do much to discount the wholly unfound ed rumors.—D. W.
