Ambassador Says
Were Already III

TOKYO, June 7. (UP)--United
States Ambassador Joseph Clark
Grew, in a letter to certain Amer
leans" in Tokyo. has denounced
attempts to promote peace and has
asserted that I'VE are already In
the war even though We are not
actually fighting, it was made
known today.
Grew said Germany had plotted
and started five wars in rs years,
that waging war vas one of its
fundamental concepts of life, that
Adolf Hitler repeatedly had threat
ened the western hemisphere and
that the American people favored
United States entering the war II
necessary to prevent German VIC
tory.
The letter coincided so perfectly
with President Roosevelts denun-
citation of false peace reports that
the question was asked immediately
In diplomatic quarters whether il
had been inspired. or at least It's
present publication had been ms
pired, by Washington.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-If Soviet
Russia is still unbowed at the end
OF this war she can be thankful to
Adolf Hitler's deputy fuehrer, Ru-
dolf Hess.
In the same way, Britain also can
be thankful.
Rudolf Hess. it now appears, will
go down in the history of the Euro
pean war As the Great TipSter,
whether he wished i so or not.
It would seem ridiculous to as
sumo that the craggy- -browed but
dainty Nazi leader wished to help
Russia. or Britain for that matter,
wien in the darkness of May 10
he rolled a Messerschmitt fighter
onto It's side high above the Scot
tish heath. unlatched his safety belt
and parachuted down to open the
Etrangest drama Of the war.
Hypothetical Solution.
But that was the effect Of his
bizarre advent to Britain, and it
Is ironical that one of the most
ardent -Bolshevists Of the in
innate Hitler clique should have
been instrumental in helping pre-
pare the Red Army for Hitler's in
vssion.
Forty days elapsed between Hess
arrival in Scotland and the start
of the German sweep on Russia.
The circumstantial evidence in
the interim. together with the ac-
tusl start Of the invasion, seemed
then to offer hypothetical solu-
ton Of the riddle of Rudolf, but
now. with the German-Russian
struggle ending its fifth month, the
utterances OF Joseph Stain and
Winston Churchill appear to have
elinched 1t.
Apart from Germany's own con-
fused explanations of the Hess
fiasco, the first official statement
from any of the powers concerned
came November in Stain speech.
Stain said Germany mad sought
10 line UP Britain and the United
States for his crusade" against the
Soviet Union and that the no.
torious Hess, properly speaking, was
eent to Britain by the German Fas-
oists for this very purpose-in order
to persuade the British politicians
to Join in the general campaign.
But the Germans sadly miscalcu-

to be drawn from the Stain and
Churchill statements, no one can be
positive Of the precise motivation of
the Hess mission-whethe he came
to Britain on his own or with the
backing Of dissident Nazi clique
or actually with Hitler's sanction.
But it is sure that from Rudolf
Hess the British first learned that
Germany would attack Russia, and
that disclosure was soon relayed to
the Kremlin.
The only quotation from Hess
which the British have confirmed
is this strange passage:
Il am a Nazi but not a -Nazi.
I am on Britain's side"
That might be taken to indicate
that Hess and Hitler had parted,

only other conceivable difference
war policy. Or it might be taken
to mean just what Stain said: That
Hess had come to enlist Britain
against Russia, either as a benevol-
ent neutral or actually a partner in
the German crusade"
From Hess record as an ardent
snti-Communist 1t would appear
that he could not have differed with
the Fuehrer over how nice it would
be to fight Russia. but rather. over
whether to continue the war against
Britain at the same time.

 Diplomatic dispatches from Sofia, Belgrade and Budapest said German soldiers, civilians and Communists are listed among the casualties.
 Rumania's s frontiers on Yugoslavia and Bulgarian are reported closed except to a few travellers with diplo- rnatic passports.
 The Balkan capital cities specu- lated on whether the disorders may have flared at resentment to the German military concentrations in Rumania while other sources sug- gested the disorders might be caused by rivalry between the Rumanian Iron Guard elements.
