Secretary HuIrs Warning
Surprise to British
BY WILLIAM H. STONEMAN.

BY WILLIAM H. STONEMAN,
Chicago Daily News Foreisn Correspondent.
LONDON, July 17.-American
Secretary of State Cordell Hulls
criticism of the British government
in Washington yesterday for its
present attempt to reach an un-
derstanding with Japan came with
out any warning to the British and
caused genuine surprise here.
When Japan first made its de-
mands on the British in regard to
the closing of the Burma road,
about two weeks ago, Washington
was Immediately informed and was
given an opportunity to explain
what it might be prepared to do if
the British refused to comply with
Tokio's blackmail-like request. It
is believed that Washington told
London that 1t might expect diplo-
matte support and nothing more.
Since diplomatic support could not
possibly be expected to save Hong
Kong or anything else which Japan
might attempt to grab in the Far
East, the British government found
it advisable to discuss terms with
the japanese.
The question today is whether Mr..
Hull's remarks about the interest of
the United States Government in
keeping open the arteries of COM
merce throughout the world means
that the United States is willing to
cooperate with Great Britain in
using force if necessary to protect
that interest.
If the United States now feels, as
Mr.. Hull's statement would seem to
indicate, that her responsibilities in
the maintenance of world trade
routes, and especially Of Far Eastern
routes, are suficiently great to make
her willing to contribute toward a
general settlement of Far Eastern
problems, there can surely be no
doubt that the British government
will most gratefully accept Ameri-
can cooperation" writes the diplo-
matte correspondent of the London
News Chronicle.

Dies 10 Investigate

West Coast Shipping,
Committee Head Told
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
BEAUMONT, Tex, July IT,
Hollywood, home OF movie stars
and political idealists, came under
the scrutiny today Of Martin Dies,
the Nations No. / Communist hunt
er and hater.
The Texas Representative expect
ed to draw from John L. Leech of
Portland, Greg, 1t was understood,
information as to whether there are
evidences of long-range activity by
Soviet Russia.
Leech described himself as a for
mer Communist leader in Califor-
mia. He said he was expelled by
the Communist party in 1887 and
recently had been employed by the
Commission OF Public Docks in Port
land.
Leech yesterday gave Mr.. Dies,
acting as a subcommittee of his
House committee to investigating
un-American activities, a general
picture of the Communist party's
mode q operation on the West
Coast.
The sketch revealed a gigantic
program to cripple national defense.
Leech said it included propaganda
ing the Army and Navy. enlistment
in the National Guard and estab-
lishment of control over shipping
and communications facilities.
Girls Helped Cause.
Young girls, Leech said, were util-
lied to lure sailors and soldiers to
parties at the homes of Communist
leaders, where earnest talk of Rus
sian idealogy and distribution Of
literature was intended to dent the
mems patriotism.
Enlistment in the Guard was un-
dertaker to weaken morale in that
branch of the service also. Leech
testified. and through control of
shipping and communication, the
Communists hoped to dictate the
war policy Of this Nation, tying up
those industries so they could not
be used in battle against Russia
or its friends.
The Communists do. in fact, con-
troll West Coast shipping and COM
munications today, Leech said.
He identified Harry Bridges, West
Coast maritime labor leader, as a
1896 member Of the National Com
munist Committee, and said the
president of the American Commu-
nications Commission in California
in 1896, 1887 and 1898 was a party
member.
Sailors Used for Messages.
Sailors were used to carry mes
sages over the world and to transfer
money, Leech said. These sailors
were members of the philippine
Committee" composed of Japanese,
Chinese and Filipinos.
Dies expects to remain In this
area until September /, continuing
the hearing here except for a one
day jump over to Port Arthur to
hear witnesses from that city.
He said approximately 100 persons
would be called to testify. It was
learned they would include the en-
tire membership Of Houston's Kyff-
haeuser Bund.

with the scarlet. piping of the air
corps and with four rows of miniature
medals across the left breast. If any
thing happened to that uniform
Trujillo knew that he would no longer
be a generals orderly with the light
duties, easy hours and various small
perquisites of that position.
Instead, he would become an insig-
nihcant private of infantry bound for
a remote and uncomfortable frontier
post. Trujillo was taking no chances.
The uniform had been washed, starched
lightly, and dried; final pressing would
wait until he had reached the Club
Miliciano y Naval in the capital,
where frantic last-minute preparations
for the reception of the high ranking
officers we're even then in progress.
Everything had been scrubbed and
secured, even the polished steel tables
and drainboards in the laundry
where, in due time, Trujillo bore the
uniform which he had to press. He
laid the garments down carefully on
the metal drainboard, then chatted
with another orderly while the iron
was heating.
The damage was done long before
the iron was hot enough to use. The
drainboard, along with all other metal
surfaces in the room, had been
scrubbed with strong solution of
nitric acid, and the scrubber - with
much work to do and the naayo1domo
barking at him to hurry - had not
flushed the acid from the corrugations
in the steel. The coat. being upper
most, was unharmed, but the entire
seat of the trousers was stained foul
tobacco brown.
Trujillo did not Immediately realize
the gravity of the accident. He washed
the trousers in hot water and then,
at the suggestion of naval officers
servant, tried strong saltwater soap
and scalding water.
Evening star., 1940-09-08

The stain remained. Trujillo was
desperate. He tried a stronger alkali -
a solution of washing soda obtained
from the club janitor - and still the
horrid brown stain was undimmed.
Ammonia, too, had no effect. 1t was
then that an Interested waiter sug
gested that the breeches be taken to a
tailor shop and the problem sub
mitted to a professional cleaner.

tailor after the briefest of inspections.

until the tailor promised to help him.
The stains were irremovable, he said,
but that which could not be eradicated
might be concealed.
The duck trousers could be painted
