the whole truth" locked in the
back Of his mind.
He explained there isn't the re-
motest possibility Of obtaining .
new trial. He pointed out that his
only avenue of escape from death
is through the clemency Of New
Jerseys court of pardonS, which
already has turned down one plea
by Hauptmann for clemency.
The lawyer told Hauptmann
that the only way he can get the
court to reconsider his plea Is to
tell everything, name any accom-
pliceS he knows and clear up once
and for all the crime Of the CEN
tury."
Hauptmann refused to change
his story. But he was obviously
frightened. He grew more alarmed
as the Shrewd Leibowitz picked his
various previous statements apart,
pointing many of them out in the
trial. transcript, two volumes Of
which he carried into the death
house with him.
The condemned man still had
not yielded when Leibowitz finally
left the death house. But he was
shaken and Leibowitz was con-
vinced that he had planted the
seed Of a horrible fear in Haupt-
mann'S heart. The lawyer believes
this fear will grow in his absence
and that Hauptmann will be ready
to follow his counsel when he re-
turns.
Leibowitz himself plainly showed
the strain Of the three hours and
40 minutes verbal tuSSle with the
enigmatic iron man who has de-
fled the efforts of the pick of the
Omen, New York Police and New
Jersey authorities to get him to
change his story. The usually
bland and poker-faced Manhattan
lawyer was pale and his voice was
hoarse when he came out Of the
death house. His brow was moist
with perspiration.
He told reporters:
I'VE are making satisfactory
rrOgreSS-that's all I'm going to
say"
Then he added with a wry grin:
"I1l tell you this: Hauptmann
at one point told me You are
wOrSer as Wilentz'"
This was plain indication of
how the interview had gone. At

Britain today curtly rejected
Italy's note of protest against the

Greece, YugoSlavia, Turkey, Ru.

formed a Gordon around 1taly's

Taking the lead in replying to
the recent Italian blast against
the pact, Britain tersely pointed
thumbs down at the points Italy
made against the pact by stating:
His majeSty's government do
not feel any useful purpose

the correspondence on the sub

British Foreign Secretary An.

sition of Britain remains as stated
in his memorandum to the League,
January %, regarding mutual sup
port.
At that time, Eden pointed out,
a number Of nations had agreed to
come to the support Of the British
navy in the Mediterranean in the
event of an attack by Italy.
Britain'S reply to the Italian
protest followed British consulta-
tions with other powers involved
in the pact.
Italy sent notes Of protest to
all League Of Nations Sanctionists

Britain Of creating a danger to the
peace of Europe through the Med

Joint Action Forecast
To Defeat NiPpon's
Manifest Destiny
BY NEWELL ROGERS


LONDON, Feb. II QN.SO.
Great Britain's friendship for
America will eventually-and in
evitably-involve her in . war
with Japan, it was definitely fore
cast today by Lieut.. Comdr. Tota
Ishimaru, of the japanese navy.
In q book so frank it shocked
American and French military
and diplomatic circles, the Japa-
nese officer diSpeIled the idea
that the United States alone
stands between Nippon and her
manifest destiny on the west
ern ocean.
War must come, he whites, be-
cause the only alternatives are
impoSSible-Japan'S renunciation
Of her dreams Of empire, or Brit
aims yielding Of parts Of an en-
pire she already has won.
Commander Ishimaru accuses
Britain Of going pro-American.
He writes:
England has mot hesitated,
since the war, to turn pr0-Amer-
lean, or rather, to humOr Amer
lea almost to the extent Of kOw-
towing to her.
"There is NO doubt that the
two countries compete, but
should a third party appear on
the scene Il. e., Japan they
will drop their differences and
attack his together.
'The only doubt Il whether
they win cOjOintly make war
from the start or whether one
viii join in after the other has
started"
