dell Willkie today mapped plans
for his appearance before the

January 70 plead the case OF VIII
liam Schneiderman, secretary OF
the Communist party in Califor-
mia, who appealed decisions OF
two lower federal courts which
rescinded his American citizen
ship because he was Commun'
list.
The 1910 Republican presidential
standard bearer said he accepted
the case without fee because he
considered it "a vital test case"
which possibly affected every nat
uralized American.
He indicated that the basic
question of civil rights was involv-
ed and pointed out that 1t was
the problem OF the Supreme Court
to determine whether it was legal
TO go behind citizenship papers
granted Americans Of foreign birth
after they had taken their oath Of
allegiance 10 the Constitution OF
the American flag.
The lower courts held that
Schneiderman, candidate for gov
ernor Of Minnesota in 1880 on the
Communist ticket, was not acting
in good faith when he swore true
faith and allegiance" to the Con-
stitution and the laws OF the
United States when he became a
citizen in 1927. He was a native
of Russia.

Coincidentally, Senator George

George said that Japan is NOV

either have to create war in the
Far East or reach an adjustment
with the United States and Great
Britain. She now is confronted
with partial economic isolation. and
her supplies gradually are being
depleted.
IF she should choose war, then
there is bound to be very close CO.
operation between the United
States and Great Britain. 1t might
go beyond economic cooperation.

United States would play would ne

President Roosevelt and Secre-
tary Hull have given no hint Of
what acknowledgements or other

event Of further japanese aggres-
sion in the Pacific. But the Secre-
tary OF State has restated carefully
to Japan's ENJOYS the fundamental
principles which the United States
insists form the only acceptable
basis for establishment and main
tenance OF peace in the Pacific.
Those principles. in general, run
counter to Tokyo's prospectus for
