.FDR Believes All
Opponents Go Too
Far, Says Wheeler

WASHINGTON, July 25. CUP)-
Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont,
non-in -interventionist leader, said to-
day President Roosevelt feels that
anyone who opposes American entry
into the war goes too far"
Wheeler made his statement when
informed that the president had
criticized his opposition to admin
istration foreign policy as being on
dangerous ground" and going too
far"
"Of course, the president feels
that anybody who opposes our in
volvement III war goes too far"
Wheeler said. Some time ago, I
challenged him 70 come to congress
and ask for a declaration of war.
I said that if congress granted his
request, I would go along with the
war effort but that otherwise I ex-
pected national unity for peace"
Imperial Valley press., 1941-07-25


Montana isolationist is very near
the line of subversive activities
against the United States, if not
treason"
Mr.. Roosevelt, commenting on
Wheeler's activities, said he agreed
with the headings appearing above
editorials on the senator which ap-
peared this morning in the New
York Times and the New York
Herald Tribune. They were entitled,
he said, ION dangerous ground
and MIR. Wheeler goes too far"
That endorsement of the titles,
Mr.. Roosevelt said, covers the situ-
alton, implying that in the endorse
ment, he had stated his case. He
made no move to modify or temper
Stimson's charges.
Mr.. Roosevelt re-entered the ad-
ministration battle with Wheeler
on his own initiative. He brought
up the question and had noted down
on sheet of scrap paper the titles
of the two editorials which con-

Defense Chiefs 10
Visit Honolulu

OAKLAND, Cal, July 25. (UP)-
Undersecretary of the Navy James
v. Forrestal and Admiral John Tow
ers, chief of the Naval Bureau of
Aeronautics, arrived from WASH
ington, D. c., today and disclosed
they will leave for Hawaii tomor-
row aboard long-range navy pa
troll bomber.
Both Forrestal and Admiral Tow
ers said their visit to Hawaii would
be nothing more than a routine
inspection" of defense facilities
there.
They disclosed, however, they will
fly back to Washington within sew
en- days, giving rise to speculation
that President Roosevelt may be
anxious for an immediate report
on the state of military defenses
at the Gibraltar of the Pacific"

Economic Struggle

Expanded Shipping

PALO ALTO, Cal, July 25
(UP) - A continuation OF
ship construction during post
war years and a steady eX-
panSion Of our merchant
shipping activities is imperative if
we would hold our own in a world
engaged in economic warfare, Dr.
Henry F.. Grady, president of the
American President Lines, said to-
day.
DR.. Grady prepared paper for
the graduate school of business at
Stanford university which was de-
livered by proxy when he was called
suddenly to Washington, D. c.
1--WE have had two costly lessons
in one generation of the folly OF
allowing our merchant marine to
disintegrate during socalled peace
times" said DR.. Grady, who for
merly was assistant secretary Of
state. Fortunately we were less
unprepared in 1889 than we were in
1914, but we were still far short
of having the required number OF
ships with which to do the tremend-
GUS job of transport suddenly thrust
upon u.s."

Japanese Vessels
Avoid U.S.. Shores
As Crisis SINNERS
Ships Heave To For
Wait at Sea Until
America Acts

SAN FRANCISCO, July
25. (UP)-At least 40 Japa-
nese ships bound for Pacific
coast ports today were be-
lieved to have hove to at sea,
fearing possible retaliation from the
United States for Japan's move
into Indo-China.
Shipping circles believed the ships
were waiting to see whether the
United States would freeze Japanese
assets, and whether Central and
South American nations would fol-
low suit.
The estimate of the number of
vessels was based on the normal
movement of all Japanese ships
into all Pacific ports, in North, Cen
tral and South America.
Although japanese consular au-
thorities said they knew nothing
of such move, informed quarters
said the orders to "heave to" appar-
emily came from Tokyo Wednesday
night. This would be indicated, they
said, by the fact that three Japa-
nese ships docked on schedule in
Pacific coast ports Wednesday. but
the liner Tatuta Maru, scheduled
to arrive at 6 am. yesterday, with
a S3,000,000 cargo of silk, has not
yet arrived, and has not been heard
from.
The Tatuta Marus radio was
silent, as were the radios of other
japanese merchant ships in the
Pacific.
1t was known the Tatuta was low
on fuel, for it customarily fills it's
bunkerS at San Francisco for
round trip, and shipping men be-
lieved it would make for the near
est Mexican port.

ment was more concerned with say

SAN DIEGO, July 25 (UP)-Con-

revealed plans for construction of
a $98O,0OO seaplane assembly, stor-
age and operating base at San
Diego's Lindbergh field.
Consolidated asked the city har-
Dor commission for 42year lease
on As acres of tidelands for which
it offered to pay an annual rental
of S1,880
The commission was informed
that $980,0OO would be spent in
structures and buildings. The pro-
ject is designed to aid the ope-
ration, overhauling and servicing of
ea-going bombing planes.
Imperial Valley press., 1941-07-25


II appeared almost certain that
the initial move would be an ex-
ecutive order freezing japanese
credits in this country. Simultan-
eous action by Great Britain and
possibly Australia was expected
Such a move would mark the be-
ginning of the end of a two-year
experiment in appeasing the Japa-
neSe.
That nervousness extends to
Japan was indicated in a United
Press dispatch today from Tokyo
reporting that Emperor Hirohito
summoned his privy council to dis
cuss the Indo-China occupation.
Iichi Kishi, Japanese government
spokesman, at the same time indi-
Gated japanese nervousness by de-
claring that the fact of American
air bases in China" made it possible
for the United States to bomb jap
an if it wished to. He said that
he lacked information of the exact
situation and nature of the Amer
ican bases"
Explaining that he had received
no confirmation of reports that the
United States and Great Britain
might freeze Japanese assets as a
reprisal for the occupation of
French Indo- China, Kishi said that
he could not comment.
He continued to say that Japan
never had given up hope of i'm
proving relations with the United
States, and that any attempts at
improvement would not be con
trary to Japan's alliance with Ger
many.

officer.
The larger craft of the naval re-
