TuIks to Be Resumed
When Kurusu Receives
Toxic Instructions

By the Associated Press.
Senator Pepper, Democrat, OF
Florida said today that Saburo Ku-
rusu, Japans special envoy. should
know that If war In the Paciflc Is
the price of resisting Japanese ram
page then war will have to come"
Senator Pepper, a member Of the
Foreign Relations Committee, told
reporters that Mr.. Kurusu, who has
been comforting with President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hull on the
Far Eastern situation, should I'M
derstand that this country has gone
as far as we are going.
The time has come to draw a
line" Senator Pepper said. If the
japanese don't like it they can lump
it. We have watched them murder
and rape and ravage large part of
the earth. We have seen them en-
croach on our interests. foot by foot,
yard by yard and mile by mile
IF they want peace, let them stop
their aggression: let them get out of
China. America will not aCquiesce
in any so-called new order which
is built on the bones and washed OF
the blood of innocent victims" :"

Mr.. Kurusu and Admiral Kichi-
sabura Nomura. the Japanese AM

retary Hull for nearly three hours
Yesterday, are expected to resume
the talks as soon as they receive new
instructions from Tokio-possibly

Senator Pepper. an ardent sup
porter of President Roosevelt's for
eign policies, asserted that IF Mr.
Kurusu has come over here to indi-
cate that Japan has seen the error
of her ways and is determined to
forsake her evil associates-Germany
and Italy-then he may be assured
Of an unqualified welcome.
But If he has come here TO get
our acquiescence in a program by
which Japan would retain the loot
she has taken and make us a silent
partner to her briganage then he
can count on no comfort. II war in
the Pacific is the price of resisting
the Japanese rampage then war will
have to come"
Senator Pepper said Mr.. Kurusu
ought to understand that the
temper OF America is not one OF ap-
peasement."
Wheeler Decries War Talk.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Of
Montana. an outstanding opponent
of administration foreign policies,
decried talk of war between the two
Pacific nations, with the assertion
that There is no reason in the
world why the United States and
Japan should 60 TO war
Our differences can be worked
out amicably and I believe they will
be-" the Montana Senator declared
There are some hotheads both In
the United States and Japan who
would like to see the two countries
at war, but I feel confident the
cooler heads will prevail"
In one of the longest diplomatic
conferences ever held here, Secre-
tary Hull yesterday canvassed the
general situation in the Pacific witr
Nomura and Kurusu.

clared that "the South is opening

visages councils in basic defense in
