Washington, Dec. 3. (AP)
President Roosevelt has posejd a
question for Japan which j?''par-
adoxically — may hasten a final
shoWdown in the Pacific, or bring
about ah armed truce that would
save Thailand, temporarily at
least, from becoming a far eastern
battlefield.
Since the' president's question
calls for a forthright explana-
tion of Japan's immediate inten-
Inforroed* diplomatle-quar-
)«rs. here believe that It will bring
the Pacific crisis to a head within
the week.
The questiohy .^escribed by Mr.
Roosevelt himself .as a simple
question which he expected Tok
yo to answer promptly.
Just what are Japan's pi
in increasing her armed forces in
French Indo - China?
That sprawling region flanks
Thailand, the former Slam, on
the east.
.'Admiral Kichisaburo Nomura
and Saburo Kurusu, the Japanese
envoys, dispatched the white
house request for information to
Tokyo immediately lifter it was
presented to them by Undersecre-
tary of State Sumner Welles at a
conference yesterday.
President Roosevelt's public In-
tervention, brought no break In
the existing tension and officials
here generally considered the sit-
uation in the Pacific one of undi-
minished gravity.
Assistant Secretary of Navy
Rajph A. Bard, In an address last
night at Norfolk, Va„ asserted
"The Pacific is like a tinderbox—
—waiting for a spark that will ex-
plode all over" the eastern quarter
of the globe. \ "**
{The navy, he said, Was not un-
derestimating Japan's power and
"In the regrettable event q* trou-
ble in the Pacific, that trouble
•[will not be * minor one.
Semi - official comment In Tok-
yo continued disquieting.
The Tokyo radio hinted broad-
ly that Nazll Germany was tak-
ing a hand in the situation.

LET'S DO
SOMETHING
ABOUT IT!
A MORE ATTRACTIVE VIEW
to Orange is destined when the
new highway routes have been es-
tablished both for highways 90
and 87 on the west side of the
city. Probably some of the great-
est changes that have yet been
made with certain business lines,
will occur when the new highway
set-up has been completed. Then
itNvjll be that travelers will have
less froubje in getting through.
LESSONS JN SAFETY being
taught this we&k. by a safety ex-
pert will without a doubt prove to
be of great value in the handling
of traffic as it becomes heavier
within this city and adjacent ter-
ritory. With traffic congestion
growing more and ihore • difficult,
it will become more a/id more ne-
cessary for sober, safe and sane
driving.
BOYS WILL HELP SOLVE traf-
fic problems through avenues of
school safety patrols systematic-
ally orgainzed here during the
past few weeks. These boys be
sides being of good use in direct-
ing traffic, will learn valuable
lessons that will be of material
aid to them when they are older.
The safety patrol boys will be
distinguished from now on by
Sam Browne belts and badges.

Detroit, Dec- 3. — Henry Ford
said in an interview todayv that
out of the war in Europe will
come a federation of the world in
Which' "all barriers of nationality
will be levelled and the peoples
of the world live in common
peace and prosperity."
It will be a federation in winch
politics will be definitely dtofard
ed; one in which a universal cur-
rency, a universal economy and a
universal market wilj/preVail, he
asserted.
Unless such a.federation k es
tabllshed, the Jrii-year old inmis
trialist added; the * present war
will be on}y a dress rehearsal for
another -and more terrible con-*
flict.
'The United States is a prac-
tical example of federation. We
federated it because it was the
only way to save ourselves from
ruin. Europe is finding she can-
not live unfederated today," Ford
said-
'If the United States puts its
Influence behind it, the same type
of agreement can be arrived at in
