The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-08-18

emphasizing Mrs. Morrison's wealth, Reynolds launched into a colorflll description of the law ish'' life his opponent led in' Washington. He told how Sena- tor Morrison resided in zen of the great swsnky hotels, surrounded by luxury and polnp and an army of flunkies.
 Then Reynolds hit his climax:
 And when he drives up to his palatial hotel in a long slinky car with a uniformed chauffeur, the flunkies run out and unrOll a long red carpet so that Cam won't have to put his feet on the pavement. Then his chauffeur jumps out and opens the door.
 "And then, my friends, when Cam sits down to supper, do you know what he eats? He eats ka-vee-ar. And do you know what ka-vee-ar is? It's fish eggs, my friends, sfish eggs!"
 That speech cost Cam Morrison his cherished Senate seat. But with the news of Bob Reynolds engagement to an heiress, Mor- rison is all smiles. From now on," e chuckles, "even I can lick him." U. S. WARNS JAPAN
 The stiff warning Under Sec- retary of State Welles gave to the Japanese Ambassador, that the U. s. A. was ready to fight if necessary, came only after a long and patient series of confer ences extending back to last May. The most important of these w..s a confidential session in the White House of the President himself, Japanese Ambassador Admiral Nomura, Secretary Hull, and Un- der Secretary Wel'es. In previous sessions Admiral Nomura and the State Department has discussed various plans for a cooperative program in the Orient.
 The main concession which the United States demanded was that Japan renounce the declar- ation of last April. made in eBr- lin by Foreign Minister Mat suoka and Hitler, which firmly sealed Japan into the AxiG.
 In return Japan demanded that the United States stop shipping war materials to China. Japan wanted definite guarantees to this effect.
 Such guarantees, of course, meant that the United States would completely abandon it's program of aiding the remocraceis, and leave in the lurch the one one democracy which has battled longer and more persistently even than Great Britain-China. The Administration was not quite pre- pared to do this.
 The negotiations broke down, however, not so much on this point but over doubt whether Ad- miral Nomura really was able to deliver from the military clique which now runs the government in Tokyo. Also Secretary Hull became i'll about that time and left Washington for two months.
 Conversations were resumed la- ter and continued until very re- gently.
 But in the interim the Japan eSe cabinet had become more m1litaristic than in May and June; SO in these later conversations, the State Department coupled a very stiff warning with the olive branch. In fact, the warning with the olive branch. Tn fact, the warning was probably em- phasized more than the olive branch.
 PRESSURE DRIVE
 The 203-to-202 House vote on the draft extension bill was not surprising in view of the terrific last minute pressure drive against 1t.
 Not since the days of the fake utility telegrams attacking the Holding Company Act has Con- gress seen anything like it. Who financed this campaign is stllt . secret which only a congress sional investigation can unearth. But tho affair had all the aar- marks of a carefully organized operation costing plenty Of money.
