SOIONS READY
FOR MUTINY

Although il is packed with
political enemies of the White
House, the senate naval affairs
committee exhibited remarkable
restraint on the day after our
defeat in the Pacific. But their
acknowledgements activity may
account for the Roosevelt-knox-
Stimson decision to break the
bad news to the American peo-
pie without delay.
Several key members rushed
TO the navy department as soon
as they read the early Monday
editions. and backed Chief of
Operations Stark into q corner.
They demanded that he tell
them our losses. He did, al
though it brought him subse-
quent reprimsnd from the White
House. When the tragic infor-
nation was relsyed to a meet
ing of the fun committee later
in the morning, they were ready
for mutiny. Anti-Rooseveltians
like Chairman Walsh of Mssss-
chusetts. Tdyings Of Maryland.
Byrd of Virginia, Smith of
South Carolina and johnson of
California were for parading TO
the White House They wanted
to demand that FDR, in his radio
speech scheduled for that night,
take the people into his conf
dence. They were determined
TO warn against any attempt 10
withhold the facts
The vote for such action WAS
almost unanimous. Only one
member and he was near
purge" several years ago-held
out. He begged his colleagues
not to hsrass the chief execu-
tive at such a moment. not TO
undermine the peoples conf
dence in the commsnder-in-chief.
They agreed. But before Mr..
Knox returned from his Ha-
waiisn inspection, they let the
White House know through Vice
President Wallace that there
would be q revolt on the senate
floor II there was any attempt
at whitewash or conceslment.

40-MILL LIMIT TO
BLAME FOR MUCH

Editor The Times: Just a word
as to a condition that exists in
Tacoma at present.
Our schools were recently
closed and our children were
running the streets because the
school board refuses to grant
a living wage TO those who keep
them operating. Let's see if we
can place the responsibility.
Granting the argument of the
board that they are dispensing
the money given them by the
voters as best they can. puts
the responsibility back on the
people where of course it right
ly belongs. But to the best Of
our knowledge not one member
of the school board nor one Of
the high officials Of the schools
have ever raised their voice
against the 40-mill tax law,
which they know is responsible
for the present condition of the
schools and has been so for the
past eight years. They also
know that a little true propa-
ganda TO balance the false pro-
paganda that Is always put out
by the big corporations and real
estate spectators would serve
10 beat this so-cslled house
owners friend" so badly that it
would never be thought of again.
These big corporations who
put up thousands Of dollars
every two years TO put this law
on the backs Of the people are
not doing 50 10 help the little
home owner, as they say. but
10 save themselves hundreds of
thousands OF dollars which Of
course must De made Up by the
other 20 per cent Of the people
IN other taxes imposed, every
single one strange as il may
SEEM since the 4o-min tax law
took effect.
THINK IT OVER Mr.. AND

FIFTH COLUMNS

Details of Jspans fifth col

Knox characterized as the most
crafty since Norway" were
first related to the state depart
ment in 1897. The informsnts
were members of the house-sen-
ate territories and insulsr az

tied the islands that year.
Certain members were shocked
by their discoveries. They
learned that q Japanese sampan
fleet had the run of hsrhors and
adjacent waters. with naval Of
ficers as crew members. But IL
was not until last year that
Washington acted to drive away
these ubiquitous spies. A suave
gentleman named Tsdsaki Iixu-
ks organized various leagues in
Hawaii and on the west coast in
the ensuing years.
The embassy here denied that
lizuka was connected with the
government. but old telephone
books show that he lived AT the
Hawaiian and Los Angeles con-
sulstes. incidentally. a Nippon

On Oct. 20. 1s41, there was
forwarded To Secretary Hull and
Secretary Stimson a document
describing a war cabinet meeting
at Tokyo presided over by Pre-
mier TOTO. At that conference
he named December, 1q4l. or
February. 1912. as ideal months
for launching the long planned
war against the United States.
On Nov. 16 there was sent to the
White House a report of con-
versations between Berlin and
Tokyo. According to this cita-
ton. der fuehrer wanted the Jap
anese to postpone the show until
February. In that month, Hitler
promised, ne would be in a
stronger position to give about
aid to the mikado.
The German leader counseled
delay for two reasons: He ex-
pected to smash the Russians
within six weeks, and establish
a defensive line for the winter.
More Importantly. he was then
planning to exert new pressure
on the Viehy government. He
expected TO obtain the French
fleet late in December, he in
formed TOTO. and he would be
ready to launch a fierce under
water attack on United States
and British shipping early in
January.
With Japan blitzkrieging us
in the Pacific. Uncle Sam would
be faced with a war on two
oceans. Japan chose the earlier
month because it wanted the ad-
vantage of surprise, because 1t
feared further economic stran-
gulation at our hands. and be-
cause Hitler decided he needed
. diversion to offset reverses in
Russia and North Africa.
