Tongue. Describes Huge
Resources Of America
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Broadcasting to the people Of
Japan, last night in their own Ian
guage, Senator Thomas, Democrat,
of Utah, told them the United States
would crush the war lords who are
already crushing you," and recount
ed In broad terms Americas New
Year resolution for huge increase
In fighting equipment and trained
manpower.
"The little temporary advances
your forces have made will all be
swept away" he predicted
Senator Thomas, who spent sew
en- years in Japan as a Mormon
missionary, titled his address "Ja-
pan VS.. Japan" The speech. broad
cast by KGEI in San Francisco and
10 other American short-wave sta
tions, will be re-broadcast on the
Japanese New Year, January TO-
II do not know how many Of you
are listening to this New Years
message to the people of Japan" he
declared, because the repressiors
which your government practices on
you keep you as far as it can from
knowing the truth.
War Lords Called Traitors.
But If only one Japanese hears
my words and learns the tragic
story Of the way you have been be-
trayed by your war lords, who have
sold themselves to Hitler, then it
will be worth while to speak.
When the next New Year Day
rolls around, the Senator said, "the
United States will still be fresh, will
still be strong with an even greater
strength than before, while your
rapidly dwindling resources in sup
plies and manpower bring you a
larger measure of exhaustion than
is yours today.
The little temporary advances
your forces have made will all be
swept away. Like the Germans In
Russia, like the Germans and
Italians in Africa, Japanese forces
will be forced back and compelled
to leave every spot which they now
hold"
"" - Your new friends have
lost any capacity to help you in your
war. Italy has begged down COM
pletely, and continues to survive
only by Nazi domination" he con-
tinued. Germany has suffered a
disastrous defeat in Russia and
North Africa. Her soldiers, lacking
clothes, are freezing to death in
Russia. She has been unable to in
wade England. She has lost her
power in the Atlantic Ocean. She
can do nothing for you, even If she
wanted to help you"
Lists U. s. Resolutions.
The Senator told the japanese
that Americans, as did they, also
made New Year resolutions and that
here were ours:
TO build more than 10000 war
planes and increase the production
rate well beyond $4,000 a year.
ITO produce $4,000 tanks and gear
production for the greatest tank
armada the world has ever seen.
ITO launch approximately 15O

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Paul T.
Borchardt, 56-year -old former Ger
man Army major on trial with five
others charged with espionage con-
spiracy, pictured himself today as a
victim of Nazi persecution rather
than a spy for the Reich.
Borchardt, who said yesterday
that although of Jewish origin he
embraced the Catholic faith IS
years ago, testified today that he
was thrown into a concentration
camp at Dachau in the autumn Of
1888.
"On November 8, 1885," he testi-
fed, "a madman named (HerscheD
Grynszpan, a Jew, murdered Ger

in Paris.
"On the following day, which I
remember well because 1t was my

Germany. was among them, and
was sent to Dachau."
Only a Paper Right.
Borchardt said that although he
served in the German Army during
the first World War, winning nu-
merous decorations including the
Iron Cross, he was discharged from
his professorship of military geog-
raphy at the Munich University in
1888 because of his Jewish origin.
Those who served in the World
War were given papers permitting
them to continue their professions,
he said, "but it was only a paper
right. I tutored in secret because
no Aryan would dare go openly to a
non-Aryan at that time"
Borchardt testified that after he
was freed from the camp at Dachau
he did not explain his release
he went to England, then came to
the United States in 1910 as a
refugee.
Called His Wife "DodO."
While in England, he said, he re-
ceived a cablegram from his brother
stating that his Brochardt's) wife
had brought divorce proceedings
against him.
His wife, Borchardt said, Is a
Christian and is classified by the
Nazis as pure Aryan," according
to Nazi custom.
Borchardt's lawyer produced a
copy of the divorce degree which
stated that a divorce was granted
because Borchardt had treated his
wife "brusquely." Borchardt said
the decree was a tissue OF lies"
Il have corresponded with my
former wife since the divorce was
granted, and she has written to me"
Borchardt said.
He produced letter, and his law
yer pointed out to the jury that 1t
was signed "Dodo" which Borchardt
said was a pet name he called her.
Judge Henry w. Goddard ad-
journed the trial until Monday
morning at this point.

while the possibility of a general

might be made in some well-selected

He told luncheon meeting OF the

Japan is striving for two essentials
in her dream of domination:
/. Seizure of wealth and materials
to replenish her war machine and,
2. Seizure of air and naval bases
to cut the supply routes Of the
United Nations and bar future
counter -offensiveS.
"The longer the enemy is able to
carry on his demoniac work Of in
vasion and plunder without meeting
effective resistance the more diff
cult will be the task of recovering
the lost ground" the envoy said.
