BY the Associated Press.

ny tHe ASSOClAteO freSS.
The United States offensive in tn
Solomon Islands mainly is agains
Japanese-held Tulagi. which has
deep hurricane free anchorag
which doubtless is important in Gen
Douglas MacArthur's scheme to re
conquer the Southwest Pacific.
Tula9i is in the Southeastern Solo
mons, end until the japanese ar.
rived it was the capital of group o1
10 large islands and innumerable
smaller ones which stretch in a dou-
BILE chain 1000 miles long.
Two .mile-long Tulagi and the
larger Florida Island nearby form
an inner cover for Tulagi's placid
10o-foot deep harbor where United
States forces almost annihilated a
Japanese invasion fleet last spring
just before the big Coral Sea naval
battle.
An outer ring consists of four
larger islands, Guadalcanal, Santa
Isabel, Malaita and San Cristobal.
The japanese also have occupied
Guadalcanal, whose comparatively
smooth surface is ideal for air bases.
United States Marines apparently
have landed on Guadalcanal as we'll
as Tulagi.
TulaE Has no Roads.
Tulaei is 800 air mics due east OF
the Allied base at Port MoreSby in
New Guinea, and 1900 miles north
of Sydney, Australia It has govern
ment Offices, wireless station, sew
eral trading companies, a hotel and
its own Chinatown There are no
roads. Traffic is by foot and boat.
The Chinese population in peace
time exceeded the white population
OF 100 by 4 to /.
Bougainville, an island 120 by 35
miles, is in northwestern part of
the long chain of islands which are
ruggedly beautiful. Thick-forested
volcanic mountains rise as high as
10000 feet. The Japanese also have
a base on Bougainville, one of the
first established in their southwark
push.
The 10000 natives on the islands
are nearly all fuzzy y-haired ebony
black people who mainly have re-
sisted European civilization Their
thick mops of hair range from jet
black to peroxide blond (some bleach
their hair with lime). They show
little interest in community life
beyond small tribal units. Some of
the interior bush tribes still engage
in cannibalism and head-hunting
attacks on their neighbors.
Labor Recruiting System.
"Black birding" the white mans
commercial traffic In slave labor, off,
bet European missionary work until
. decade ago. Then a system of
licensed labor recruiting which pro-
tected the natives interests was in
troduced
The Solomons were named by their
Spanish discoverer, Alvaro Mendana,
who landed there in 1867 believing
he had found the source of gold for
Solomon's temple at Jerusalem.
Some gold has been found, but not
Tor profitable workings.
After Mendana's visit the islands
were lost for 200 years. Then in 1858
Louis Antoine de Bougainville,
French navigator, landed. The
climbing South American shrub,
Bougainville. is named after this
explorer as we'll as the largest of the
Solomon group.
Bougainville, Buka and some of
the other Northern Solomon Islands
formerly were German. After the
World War they were inundated to
Australia.
The others to the south are In the
British Solomon Islands protectorate.

are leaving Argentina ran
"and you will never come back"
On Friday Ell Pampero seemed to
know Of the expulsion order issued
by the Foreign Office on Saturday
But none of the leading newspapers
of Buenos Aires knew; literally, no.
body knew, except the swarm OF
Nazi-Fascist papers, which were out
on the street with their hat words
against me. incidentally, none OF
these has been suspended. Frances
Spanish Ambassador, week before
made public speech reNling the

on which the Argentine Constitution
Is based; but his words have occa-

Prepared to Leave.
| BY this time the society OF Ar
gentine writer's and the Circulo de
la Prensa were In session, deliberat-
Ing a protest against the govern
ment's action-a protest which the
state of siege would permit them
to publish. I had the porter up
and told him to let nobody come to
my apartment without the proper
credentials. had very clear pre-
sentiment of trouble.
Then I went to work clearing up
my papers for my final departure
from my beloved Argentina, inter-
rupted frequently by committees of
students from the various faculties
Of the National University, who came
to tell me OF their plans Of protest.
AT midnight I was alone, and
again the phone began to misbe-
have. First came vile messages in
Spanish and English, and finally
constant ringing with no answer.
After an hour Of this, in order to
get little sleep, 1 lay the receiver
on the table. During the night I
learned from the porter that a
number Of groups of men calling
themselves committees of students
or workers had wanted to see me,
but he had refused them admis-
sion.
Let Six Men In.
At 10 am. the porter appeared
at the door with six individuals,
whose leader, a little dark chap,
nattily dressed, informed me he
was from the police and showed me
his badge. The porter's presence
reassured me and I let them in;
as I did so one of the men ordered
the porter to stay outside and cov-
cred him with his revolver. This,
of course, learned later.
The five men inside with me
asked to see my passport. They
were all young, all we'll dressed, all
with that type of expressionless
face which is common to both po-
licemen and vigilantes. I felt their
hostility, although several of them
smiled, but this did not surprise me.
They followed me into the bed
room and as leaned over to take
my passport from a drawer, I was
struck on the back of the head by
the butt end of a revolver.
That blow doubtless was supposed
to knock me out, but I kept my con-
sclouSneSs, MISUNDERSTANDING to the
rad1ologist who later took X-rays-
an extraordinarily strong skull. For
a few minutes there was a good
fight, with me thrown on the bed
under the blows and getting up and
making as much noise as could.

Finally. the men-if you call them
that-ran out with me after them
one leaving his hat on the floor.
Arrived in May.
thing good deal more important
than what have just described ]
must 60 back to explain. I had ar
rived in Buenos Aires in May, in
vited by a number of leading cul-
tural institutions to lecture. Ar
gentina was and remains in state
Of siege, which specifically forbids
criticism of the governments for
eign policy in press or in political
meetings.
My very first public appearance, a
banquet in my honor by the Society
of Argentine Writers, was turned
into political event by the speeches
of Senator Alfredo Palacios, who
also is president of the University
of La Plata. and OF former Foreign
Minister Carlos Saavedra Lamas,
who Is rector of the University of
Buenos Aires, both of whom used
their welcome Of me as a pretext
for declaring the solidarity of the
Argentine people with the American
people.
The entire proceedings Of this
extraordinary banquet we're broad
cast over the radio; at my first lee
ture the crowd that tried to get in
to hear me was so large that for
an hour traffic was held up. This
became the rule in all my talks In
Buenos Aires and in really a score
of cities. 1t was plain that the
Argentine people, unable to ex-
press themselves directly because of
the state of siege, were using my
message and my presence to reveal
where they stood
Government Did Nothing.
The government did nothing. I
had cordial talks with several of
its members, including the Presi-
dent and the Minister of Justice,
Guillermo Rothe, who is supposed
to be the strong mind of the cab
met. I told them my feelings about
the state OF siege which kept the
Argentine people from free discus
sion at moment of world crisis,
when discussion was needed as never
before, In order that the people
might find themselves and act ac-
cording to their free sentiments.
They assured me that the state of
siege was purely local affair, meant
to suppress the violence of extremist
factions and to preserve democracy.
Had I ever been interfered with?
they asked me, and assured me
that I never would be.
1t was time for me to 60 to Chile,
to the same job of speaking to the
people and letting the people speak
to me. cast a balance of what
my trip to Argentina had accom-
plished. 1t had been a personal
triumph. I had probably spoken
in person and by radio to a larger
proportion Of the Argentine people
than any foreigner in the history OF
the country.
I had spoken on the true meanings
of the war. OF totahtarianism, OF
Inter American relations. I could
point to my lectures, which will soon
be published, to show that I had
said everything that needed to be
said, And even the reactionary
government had been cordial to me
They expected from me the final,
clear utterance not in the general |
terms OF my lecture. but straight
of what was In their hearts From
the beginning had made clear that |
II I were true to my own vision, I |
must not let national etiquette stop
me. said what had to be said.
The government in its response
showed its true colors. The people
In their response have shown their
true. strong Democratic heart. |

bassy informed me of the Foreign
Offices cable to Washington de-
claring me persona non grata."
Two days before 1 had had lunch
with 10 of the chief labor union
leaders of the country. They had
persuaded me to fly back after my
lecture tour in Chile IN order to
address final big mass meeting of
labor in the Luna Park" of Buenos
Aires.
When I queried whether the state
OF siege would let me speak to such
a meeting, they assured me that
after the enthusiastic support of my
words by the entire Argentine peo-
pie on every public appearance that
l had made, the government would
not dare to interfere For we agreed
that this government had proved
itself extremely timid, every time
the people spoke clearly. They
planned also to have my speech
broadcast to South America.
Phone Out Of Order.
Of course, the Government order
throwing me out made my coming
back impossible. I had less than 48
hours to do the innumerable things
which I intended to leave for my
return from Chile. I went to the
phone to get my secretary and to
speak with my friends. The phone
was out Of order. Pretty soon news
papermen appeared and had them
report the broken phone. At about
4 in the afternoon it was repaired
and the first messages to come In
were abuse and threats.
