Time was when there's wasn't a question aoout tne

News Of The War

President Roosevelt, in his first speech to the
nation at war; reminded all newspapers and radio sta
tions that they had most grave responsibility and
reminded them that 'you have right to deal out
unconfirmed reports in such way to make people
believe they the gospel truth"
During the first World War false information
often planted by enemy sympathzers. Even during
this World War such misleading reports have been
used The German propaganda Goebbels is authority
for the statement that during the Battle of Flanders
false information given to the press led to some
decided German advantages.
We believe that the American people entitled to
the full truth about the war, that bad news well
good news should be given just as soon as it is
established, subject only to the limitation that the
enemy will not be helped by giving out such infor-
nation In such cases, just any such value
to the enemy has been eliminated by the passage of
time otherwise, all facts should also be made public
The American people determined to win this
war and win it in no undecided fashion. The colec-
tive common sense and good judgment of people
realize that will suffer and take heavy
losses in the course of this struggle. There is no
necessity of soft soapng the The American
people have the and the faith to endure disas
ter when and if it comes because they confident
in their ultimate triumph. Similarly, the American
people are willing to wait patiently for news if the
prompt publication Of such news might encourage
help our enemies

explained, the situation had not
changed. But the next move was
decidedly Japan's; the state depart
ment had probably said its last
word. Mr.. 'X' was of the opinion
that it was still possible that some
face-saving method would be worked
out to permit the military element
to accede 10 our demands and thus
keep Japan from committing sui
eide" His impression was that MOTH
ing would happen before Tuesday
when he thought Kurusu would hand
s. "retary Hull Japan's answer to
state departments note.
Chinese D1piicity Argument
There was more of the often-heard
argument about Chinese duplicity.
IF United States wants war, it
can have war. If it wants peace,
can have peace. And Japan can
be much more than a friend to
America. You can beat us in the
end but it will be no push-over."
He was friendliness itself Hav-
ing spoken his piece he made tele-
phone call and led me from the
chancery into the embassy which it
adjoins.

Terasaki bowed low from the
hips, but Kurusu took my hand in
formally when l was presented.
Terasaki opened the conversation
by saying that l had said as long
as Kurusu was still here no news
was good news. Kurusu either mis-
understood Terasaki or chose to ig-
mere his remark. We sat down and
Kurusu repeated in less formal
phraseology the general argument
which Terasaki had offered.

In Jones county, Mississippi, go
farmers needed Workstock. They
pitched in together, bought 60 mules
in one lot at nice price. To save
a little more money the farmers,
all of them borrowers from the de-
partment of agriculture, went one
step farther, put in a cooperative
order for pillow gear. Their county
purchasing association, sponsored
by the Farm Security administra-
ton, bought 60 complete sets Of
harness from a local dealer, assem-
bled them at the mule barn. Saw
ings on this deal ran into SIPS. The
mule dealer fitted the gear on the
animals at no extra cost, assured
perfect harness fittings.

RUBBER

The Office of Production Man
agement is inaugurating a ma
tion-wide rubber conservation
campaign and has called upon
the country's 100000 car own
ers to observe certain rules to
make tires last longer: ~ Have
tires re-treaded instead of buy
ing new ones. (2) Cut out high
speeds. 60 Initiate tires weekly
to recommend levels. (4) Don't
stop short or make jack-rabbit
starts. (5) Avoid striking curbs,
road holes, rocks, etc. (6) Check
wheel alignment twice a year.
(7) Repair all cuts, leaks, breaks
promptly. (8) Change wheel posi-

WNU Service, 1343 H Street. NV,
Washington, d. G.
Here in Washington where we feel
the repercussions Of the war more
deeply than anywhere in the coun-
try except coast cities where enemy
planes threaten, and even the
thoughts we had last week seem
very far away.
To me an even greater gulf seems
to exist between Friday and Satur-
day, between peacetime and war
time. On Saturday, December S, I
sat in the drawing room Of the Japa-
nese embassy talking with the en-
bassy's first secretary. His card
which he gave me as left it on the
desk as write. "Hidenari Terra
saki, first secretary of the Japa-
nese embassy. Washington, the en-
graved script reads.
With us was Saburo Kurusu, the
man who was supposed to be plan
ming a peaceful settlement Of Japa-
nese-American relations at the very
moment when Japanese bombers
and battleships were already on
their way to Pearl Harbor. I did
not know it then, but was the last
American reporter = perhaps the
only one-to interview him.
Washington Diary
The next afternoon just as was
starting out to take walk in Rock
Creek park, the news of the astound-
ing attack on Hawaii reached me.
From then on radio and news re-
porters have been pretty busy. But
took time out to jot down the
events of Saturday that were trag-
ically stupid prelude to war. l am

full library. The ancient books, the
mellow leathered chairs all gave
the place an atmosphere Of dignity
and solidarity that seemed far away
from the little Saturday afternoon
world. Mr.. "X' suggested two
phrases of which / made mental
note. First: "Kurusu is still here"
The second: THE center of gravity
has shifted from the state depart
ment to the navy department"

Gen. Pershing Leads The Way

General John j. Pershing, Commander of the A. E.
F., in the first World War, sets good example to
every American citizen by offering his services Gin
any way in which my experience and my strength to
the last ounce, will be of help in the fight"
It will be observed that General Pershing did not
volunteer to take command Of the armies of the United
States although he continues to hold his full rank
and knows much about fighting. The General offers
his services and leaves it to the President, his Com
mander-n-Chief to determine where he serve best
The octogenarian military leader is too old for
active Service but his spirit is al-American.

Next Stop-The Embassy

AS I was leaving, memorandum
was handed in saying that Kurusu
would receive me at the japanese
embassy Immediately. l had been
trying very hard to get that ap-
pointment and after two days me-
gotiating, my assistant had finally
succeeded.
was first shown through the busy
chancery Of the Japanese embassy
to the Office of First Secretary Terra
saki, smiling little brown man
with eyes that came as near to
slanting as any orientaPs do. He
warned me that / could not quote
Mr.. Kurusu nor was l to mention
my visit at all for week or so as
others would demand interviews.
Terasaki said he would give me
some background.
When we were settled he told me
a sort of parable. He said:
Suppose man has been fighting
for four days and four nights in
the street. Another man who has
been sitting in his comfortable chair
every evening wants to do some
thing. Should man in arm chair
come to fighting man and talk about
principles, about Confucius and
Aristotle?"
He paused a moment and stared
at me steadily with brown eyes that
looked as solid as bullets.
mo, think" he went on, man
in armchair should approach man
who is fighting with tact and SYM
pathy."
He paused again to see how |
was taking it. 1 dropped my eyes
to the notes I was making and he
seemed satisfied. He concluded:
Japan has been fighting four years.
Must talk facts, must be realistic
and talk principles afterward."

Resources For War

Expert opinion tells us that the United States
can produce three tons of steel for every ton made
by the Axis and Axis-dominated nations
This is reassuring but if the Axis uses all steel for
war and only one-haf of capacity it means
that the Axis is outproducing for military purposes
The American Iron and Steel Institute declares that
the combined steel capacity of the United States the
British Empire and Russia is than twice the Axis
total and if twothrds of Russian capacity falls
into German hands, the Allies could still make 60 per
cent more steel than Germany and the rest of the
world.
On the production side look pretty good" but
unless steel are modified for war; they
do not count in war; The public should understand
this and promptly support restrictions in the use of
STEEL and other supplies, for non-mitary purposes.

kurusu Presents
Jdpdn's Case

The two nations could agree on
principles with lengthy and leisurely
discussion-but now an emergency
existed. Japan was in a position
where she was forced to take GER
tain steps for her survival. The
United States would have to agree
to the discussion of realistic issues
first and leave the principles to later
discussion.
Unless that happened no progress
could be made.
"Of course we are hopeful" he
said, rather hopelessly, l thought.
On the whole his attitude seemed to
confirm what Mr.. TX" had said,
that Japanese-American relations
were in status quo-that Japan was
playing for time.

First Heavy Tank

At last the United States has produced a heavy
tank In fact, Cotton land battleshp was tested and
approved recently. Previous to the production OF
this tank U. S. production lines were turning out only
small (13-ton) and medium (30-ton) tanks. Produc-
ton of the new heavy tank will begin in quantity
in about three four months.
The test OF this monster tank very impressive.
1t climbed 30-degree incline without any apparent
loss of speed; it withstood land mines collision with
armored car, and eveled off three sets of heavy
pilings
This big tank is faster than the smaller tanks and
is streamlined The fact that it is welded together
gives it additional qualities Another feature is that
the wheels and caterpillar tread sheltered by
protective steel skirt.
Congratulations to the Baldwin Locomotive Works
for their presentation of this tank to the Army of the
United States.
