By CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The Japanese have failed in an
effort to obtain possession Of
Java, pearl Of the Netherlands
Indies and the richest corner OF
the world" unscorched.
While convinced that they
could occupy the island by force,
the Nipponese realized that the
Dutch would allow no section Of
1t to fall into the hands of the
enemy in any state Of usefulness.
Oil wells, refineries, factories,
plantations, all are being set
aare.
The japanese and Nazis would
like to have Javas precious raw
materials Immediately. Agents
speaking for the Japanese high
command are reported to have
suggested to the Governor Gen.
eral Of the Netherlands Indies
that the Dutch give up the fight
as hopeless and accept most
honorable conditions" from the
commander In chief Of the Nip
ponese forces in the South Pacific.

Honorable" Suggestion.
The honorable" suggestion Of
the Japanese high command ap-
pears to have been conveyed to
the Dutch through certain prom
tnent natives. The Governor
General and commander in chief
Of the United Nations forces were
told that Great Britain and the
United States had let the Meth
erlands Indies down by failing
to send them reinforcements,
particularly planes.
In view Of Japanese air superb
ority, these men were told,
resistance would mean useless
sacrifice Of enormous wealth and
thousands Of lives. Germany, 1t
was said, has complete control
over the Netherlands in Europe,
and further resistance would de-
prive the people in the homeland
Of their investments and COM
forts.
Forged appeals from men in
the Netherlands are said to have
been offered to the Governor
General as convincing proof that
the bulk of the nation under the.
Nazi regime in Europe does not
want the valuable properties IN
Java destroyed and that the ex-
isting government" at The Hague
is willing to have the fighting
cease if honorable conditions
could be- obs.4ned from the
Japanese.

in the Washington whirl unless it is
the chambers of the justices Of the
Supreme Court or the study room
Of a research scholar in the Library
Of Congress. It is down in the War
College on a point looking out on
the Potomac. The chief who occu-
pies the silent corner ofice Is 1t.
Gen. Lesley ]. McNair. When he
has something to say he says it in
few words and does not have to use
q loud speaker voice to make the
few decisive and effective.
Won Respect for Talent.
I first knew him back in Pershine's
G. H. Q. in France as q young man
in war plans who won respect for
his talent in command organization
and tactics. Subsequently, as his
elders retired, he was marked for
the chief Of @. Il. @. in charge Of
all the progressive training and or
ganizstion for combat Of our new
Army.
Most Of his day in that quiet office
Is spent in conferences. He works
over his papers and reports at night.
To be able to work 16 hours q day
and not lose balance and perspective,
In seeing the forest instead Of the
detail of the trees, is. one Of the
Qualifications for such a job as that
Of the three new commanders.
In that quiet office is what is
known as the hot telephone. When
that rings it means that Gen. George
c. Marshall, Chief Of Staff, is on
the wire. For Gen. Marshall never
forgets that the business Of an
army is combat. and in the delega-
ton OF power. which successful war
makes indispensable. Gen. McNair
can summon any Army corps or
division commander Of the whole
to report to him.
He has q second who knows his
mind in Brig. Gen. Mark w. Clark,
with talent like Gen. McNair's,
who went straight to the battle
front in France from West Point
Gen. Clark was the youngest briga-
dier general in the Army until 1t.
Gen. Henry H. Arnold went Gen.
McNair one better by making Air
man Laurence s. Kuter a brigadier.
Gen. McNair is far from spend
ing all his time in his Office. He
likes to see for himself. There Is
no record Of the hundreds Of thou
sands Of miles he and Gen. Clark
have travelled on inspection trips.
They were out day after day in be-
tween the combatant forces in the
maneuvers last summer and fall
which they planned.
At Gen. McNair's disposal is every
bit Of technical intelligence about
the progress Of weapons and tactics
In the war. So 1t Is at the disposal
of Gen. Arnold, who Is publicly
much better known than Gen. Nc
Nair.
Arnold Had Baptism Of Fire.
Hank" Arnold, too, had his
baptism Of fire In France. When
he looks at you the question In his
eyes seems always to be what Is
the latest?" which Is q very proper
question for an airman In keeping
abreast Of the progress Of military
aviation. He, too. had to rise to
the command Of . large force.
While both he and Gen. McNair

for Speedup of work In the
plants. The order asks the COM

cularized for more than week

survey.
What he wants 10 know is
whether the machines he seeks
are now on war work. or on
tools or parts for war work or
free for the present and when
they will be put 10 use. Once
he lines up this information.
kanzler believes he can accom-
pllSh his first "speedup.
