including Thomas W. Lamont and
Henry L. Stimson, who met secretly

sonally from this war"
Senator Holt said some employers
had "coerced" their employees into
signing petitions circulated by the

This is not a committee to de-

nounce everybody and then don't

Saying that he was opposed to any
effort to have the United States en-
ter the war, Mr.. Barton added:
II hate Hitler.
II have agreed with the President
that any and all materials we can
send, including planes, without
Jeopardizing our national defense
should be dispatched at once. I
have voted for every single item of
national defense.
But the point am emphasizing
is that we are not prepared today
to fight even a fourth-class war. I
cannot yet see any circumstances
under which I would vote to have
this country, unprepared and un-
equipped, go into a foreign war"

JAPANESE MUCH
 DISAPPOINTED
Meet Diplomatic Defeat in Russian Relations; Dis-
 like Roosevelt Talk
By H. o. THOMPSON IInifed Press Staff C0rresnOnGentl

United Press Staff CorresponGent)
 Tokyo, Dec. 31-(UP)-Japan has suffered an important diplomatic defeat in it's attempt to effect more friendly relations with Russia, 1t was reported today.
 The government was expected to announce soon the renewal for one year of its mo6uS vivendi or tenn porary agreement with Russia for fishing concessions of the Siberian coast
 This means in effect that despite all it's efforts and the dispatch of a new ambassador to Moscow to seek a complete new diplomatic deal, Japan has failed to make noticeable progress, 1t was understood.
 The temporary fisheries agree ment was reached a year ago after a bitter dispute when Japan and Russia found it impossible to agree on a more permanent treaty.
 Negotiations have been in progress for some time for a definitive fisher ies agreement. Well informed sources said today that no such agreement was likely at present.
 Japanese Disappointed
 Tacit admission, in the form of an announcement that the temporary treaty has been continued, of the failure to reach a permanent treaty was caluculated to be disappointing to the Japanese public.
 It had been believed generally that as the result of Japan's alliance with Germany and Italy, Germany would aid in promoting closer Rus sian-Japanese relations.
 Newspapers recently have openly shown their eageYness for an an- nouncement of a permanent treaty, but Nichi Nichi, in voicing this hope a week ago, admitted that little progress had been made in negotia- tions.
 Newspapers gave prominent posi- tion today to articles on President Roosevelt;s security speech and one of them, Yomiuri, of independent tendency, called his prediction oi British victory in the war almost as- tonishing and irresponsible on the ground that it ignored the war sit- uation"
 Political Intent
 Yomiuri suggested that the speech undoubtedly was made with political intent, in an effort to smooth the way for revision of the neutrality and Johnson acts so that stronger aid could be given to Great Britain
 Though the president had been denying that the United States would take part actively in the war Yomiuri said, he was leading the American people "step by step nearer to war.
 "Whateyer turn the world takes in 1941 America will be primarily responsible" 1t said.
 Some headlines in the papers were: Yomiuri- Roosevelt in Angry Preside Chat Predicted British Vic tory and Abuses Tripartite Alliance Nichi Nichi- Roosevelt Sees Tripar- titet Alliance Countries as Enemies Asahi- Roosevelt Declares for h. tensification of Aid to Britain; Would Resist Tctalitarian Principle to Bitter End.

 Reports of an influenza outbreak in Maine may delay the reporting of number of Waterbury and Western Connecticut youths who have been ordered to report at the MA center at Quoddy Village, Eastport, Me.

 In explaining the reasons foa Salada's faith in newspaper adyer- Using, MT. Claridge pointed out that "Our business has grown steadily year by year and if any one coEnbin- ation of circumstances can be named as especially responsible for this steady progress it is our rigid policy for maintaining the high quality of Salada Tea coupled with consistent newspaper advertising. Consumers, we feel, have a sacred right to expect the same high quality of Salada Tea in each package they buy whether here or in some distant city whether today or a year from now-and we guard this right zealously. News paper advertising helps to build up this faith on the part of consumers.
 Practically everyone who can read, reads daily newspaper. Tn fact, it would be difficult to find a place that was so obscure and out- of-the-way that it did not come under the influence of newspapers. There is no other advertising med iurn with such complete coverage as 
 MT. Claridge continued, "our bus mess differs in certain localities. Newspapers are ideal in such situa- tions as we can change our adver- tisements as the occasion demands. Furthermore, our advertisements can be scheduled to appear on the most appropriate days of the week. In certain sections where business war rants, extra advertising effort can be expended.
 There has been a sensational sales increase in Salada Tea-BagS this year all over the country. There is very definite trend to tea pack ed in tea-bag form. This is in keep ing with the increase in Salada Tea Bag advertisements which have been appearing in newspapers in recent months"
 Tn concluding his talk, Mir. Cla- ridge announced that Again in 1941, newspapers will carry the major advertising load and in addition sev- eral more newspapers will be added to our present large list"
