Japan has made a treacherous
and unprovoked attack upon the
United States.
At the very moment when repre-
sentatives Of the Japanese Govern
ment we're discussing with represen-
tatives of this Government, at the
request of the former. principles and
courses of peace, the armed forces
of Japan we're preparing and as
Sembling at various strategic points
to launch new attacks and new ag-
gressions upon nations and peoples
with which Japan was professedly
at peace, including the United
States.
am now releasing for the In
formation of the American people
the statement of principles govern
ing the policies of the Government
OF the United States and setting out
suggestions for comprehensive
peaceful settlement covering the en-
tire Pacific area, which I handed to
the japanese Ambassador on No
Vember Is, l94l.
am likewise releasing the text
Of japanese reply thereto which
was handed to me by the japanese
Ambassador today.
Before the japanese Ambassador
delivered this final statement from
his Government, the treacherous at
tack upon the United States had
taken place.
This Government has stood for all
the principles that underlie fair
dealing, peace. law and order, and
Justice between nations, and has
steadfastly striven to promote and
maintain that state of relations be-
tween itself and all other nations.
It is now apparent to the whole
world that Japan in its recent pro-
fessions of a desire for peace has
been infamously false and fraudu-
lent

the Japanese government regrets
that it cannot accept the proposal
as basis Of negotiation.
7. The Japanese government, in
its desire for an early conclusion OF
the negotiation, proposed Simulta-
neously with the conclusion OF the
Japanese American negotiation.
agreements to be signed with Great
Britain and other interested coun-
tries. The proposal was accepted
| by the American Government.
However, since the American Gov
eminent has made the proposal OF
November 26 as a result OF frequent
consultation with Great Britain,
! Australia, the Netherlands and
Chungking, and presumably by ca
tering to the wishes Of the Chung
king regime in the questions Of
China, 1t must be concluded that all
these countries are at one with the
United States In ignoring Japan's
position.
8. Obviously it is the intention Of
the American Government to con-
spire with Great Britain and other
countries to obstruct Japan's efforts
toward the establishment OF peace
through the creation Of new order
In East Asia, and especially to pre-
serve Anglo American rights and
interests by keeping Japan and
China at war. This intention has
been revealed clearly during the
course of the present negotiation.
Thus, the earnest hope Of the Japa-
nese government to adjust Japanese
American relations and to preserve
and promote the peace of the Pacific
through cooperation with the Amer
ican Government has finally been
lost.
The japanese government regrets
to have to notify hereby the Ameri-
can Government that in view Of
the attitude of the American Gov
ernment it cannot but consider that
1t is impossible to reach an agree
ment through further negotiations.

attitude of fairness and moderation,
and did its best to reach a settle
ment, for which it made all possible
concessions often in spite Of great
difficulties. AS for the China ques-
ton which constitute an important
subject of the negotiation. the Japa-
nese government showed a most
conciliatory attitude. AS for the
principle of non-discrimination in
international commerce, advocated
by the American Government, the
Japanese government expressed its
desire to see the said principle ap-
piled throughout the world, and de-
clared that along with the actual
practice Of this principle in the
world, the Japanese government
would endeavor to apply the same in
the Pacific area including China.
and made it clear that Japan had
China economic activities of third
powers pursued on an equitable
basis. Furthermore, as regards the
question Of withdrawing troops from
French Indo- China, the Japanese
government even volunteered, as
mentioned above, to carry out an
immediate evacuation of troops
from Southern French Indo-China
as a measure of easing the situation.
Cancellation Spirit.
1t is presumed that the spirit Of
conciliation exhibited to the utmost
degree by the japanese government
in all these matters is fully ap-
preciated by the American Govern
ment.
On the other hand, the American
Government, always holding fast to
theories Ia disregard Of realities,
and refusing to yield an inch on its
impractical principles, caused undue
delay in the negotiation. It is Diff
ficult to understand this attitude Of
the American Government and the

Florida Bishop Declares Nazis
Enemy No. | OF World

Washington (JPS)-Bishop Jo-
seph P. Hurley of the Catholic
Diocese of st. Augustine, Florida,
speaking from this city, created
a nationwide sensation in a
broadcast over the Columbia net
work in which he took direct issue
with the Germans contention that
they were sponsoring a "holy war"
against Communist Russia and
bluntIy termed the Nazi Enemy
Number One of the World"
Extraordinary attention was
conferred on the Catholic prelate s
speech because of the widespread
belief that one of the greatest
obstacles in President RooseVelt,s
formulation of a clear-cut foreign
nolicv arose out of the assumed
opposition of the Catholic HER
archy to Americas entry into the
war On this issue too the Bishop
was clear, ending with the injunc-

ton to 'let us pray for peace but
prepare for war;"
Special Importance was at
tached to Bishop Hurleys fight
ing address because of the fact
that he once served as a member
of the secretariat in Rome to the
present Pope when the latter was
Papal Secretary of State.
The fact that Bishop Hurley
spoke on the very day when the
Catholic Bishops of Germany is
sued a pastoral letter inferentially
rebuking the Nazi Government
for it's invasion of Catholic rights
through interference with the
schools, churches and press led
to the belief that change in the
Catholic point of view might be
imminent and that it might be
directed from the very highest
sources in the Church.

New York (JPS)-The rights
of members of minority groups,
whether Negro, Jewish, italian,
Slav or German, must be observed
and enforced as long as they are
citizens of the Republic of the
United States, or are to become

United States, in the first issue
of The American Laborite, organ
of the American Labor Party.

The Moscow radio heard here
reported that 500 women and
children, majority of them Jew
ish, were executed in Lublin pub
hcly by the Nazis in retaliation
for alleged sabotage. The VIC
Tins were, according to Moscow,
rounded up in their homes and
led to the Lublin public market
where they were machine-gunned
by German soldiers. Renewed
mass-executions which resemble
those of the early days of Nazi
occupation are also reported from
the Warsaw district.
Official German information
which reached Stockholm reveals
that in addition to expelling all
Jews from the territory on the
left bank of the Vistula River in
the Warsaw district, the Nazi au-
thOrities have also expelled the
entire Jewish population from the
Warsaw suburbs ZOlybOrsz, NOR
otOw, CzerniakOw and Sielce.
Thousands of Jews are reported
killed by Nazi bombs in Zhitomir
and Berlitchev, two cities in the
Soviet Ukraine thickly populated
with Jews, which were merciless-
ly hammered by the German air
forces.
At the same time the Alton
bIadet reports from Berlin that
''there is no longer any Jewish
problem existing in the Baltic
countries since all Jews there ac-
cOmpanied the retreating Russian
army"
Swedish correspondents now
touring the German-Soviet war
zone as guests of the German
military headquarters reported
that there are thousands of Jews
among the Soviet war prisoners
and that the German military
command is segregating the Jew
ish war prisoners into separate
internment camps. The cores
pondent of the Tidningens on the
eastern war front reports that in
practically all Nazi-occupied cities
of Soviet Calicia there is no drink
ing water since the retreating
Soviet armies have destroyed the
waterworks, the electric power
stations and all factories.
