In Pacific War 10 86
American Vessels
l0l Of Enemy Casualties
Wurships Of Destroyer
Category or Larger
BY the Associated Press


NEW YORK, Dec. THE Japa-
nese today find themselves facing a
mightier American naval power
than ever before, while at lease 349
of their own ships lie at the bottom
of the Pacific.
Several hundred other Jap naval
and merchant vessels have been
damaged, United States and Allied
reports show, since the attack on
Pearl Harbor.
American surface forces, subma-
rines and planes, operating from
the Aleutians to Solomons, have
dealt tremendous blows at the
thinly-spread sea forces of Japan.
The United States victories in the
battles of the Coral Sea, at Midway;
in the SolomonS and in the fog
shrouded Aleutians have hit the
enemy hardest in the class he can
least afford-the fast. quick -maneu-
vering cruisers and destroyers he
needs most to protect his long lines
OF communications.
Against a total of 86 American
vessels lost in the Pacific, Japan
has lost 10l ships alone In the bat
tleship, aircraft carrier, cruiser and
destroyer categories. Two battle
ship, six carriers, 81 cruisers and Sc
destroyers have been reported sunk.
The United States has lost one
battleship, the Arizona, and the cap
sized Oklahoma may not see service
again. -Four American aircraft car
riers, seven cruisers and % destroy
ers also have been destroyed.
Secretary of the Navy Knox has
hailed the American comeback with
the statement:
I'VE have a larger and more DOW
erful Navy, measured in tonnage,
air power or anything else, than the
day before Pearl Harbor-or the day
after Pearl Harbor."
Based on official announcements
by the Navy and Allied headquar-

Hy the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-Japan's
propagandists noted the first ami
versary of the attack on Pearl Har-
Dor with a week end radio barrage
in which they laid blame for the
war on the United States, spoke of
exterminating America and Great
Britain and discussed the occupa-
tion Of such cities as New York,
Washington and London.
The Federal Communications
Commission recorded one broadcast
in which it was reported that Jap
anese commentators now claim
America fired the first shot" at
Pearl Harbor.
This claim, the BROADCAST said,
was based on the Japanese inter-
probation of the Roberts report on
Pearl Harbor, which describes the
destruction of a japanese subma.
rine an hour before the attack.
The Japanese Foreign Minister,
Masayuki Tani, addressed the jap
anese people on the subject: THE
Resolve to Exterminate and Over
whelm America and Britain" This
speech apparently was intended only
for japanese consumption since it
was not broadcast in English to the
United States.

China, Grew Reveals
Ex-Envoy's New Book
Tells of Attacks on
American Missions
By the Associated Press.

oy the ASSOClAteu TrSsSs
NEW YORK, Dec. THE Chinese
had a saying before Pearl Harbor
that the most dangerous spot In
any Chinese city or town attacked
by Japanese planes was the Amer
ican mission.
Joseph G. Grew, who served as
United States Ambassador to Japan
from February, 1882, until the at
tack on Pearl Harbor. noted this on
September /, 1941, in a letter writ
ten. to q Japanese friend made public
for the first time in his report from
Toxic to be published today by
Simon & Shuster.
The book, which bears the sub
title, "A Message to the American
People" includes the texts of
number of addresses which Mr..
Grew made after his return from
Japan last August, as we'll as the
letter to his japanese friend and a
postscript.
Speaking of the attacks on Amer
ican property in China, the former
Ambassador writes:
"It is perfectly clear that the
japanese bombers were following
concerted plan to drive American
missionaries, educational, medical
and cultural activities out Of China
permanently"
The United States, he observes,
might have broken relations with
Japan on this issue alone, but pre-
ferred to remain patient.
He also makes public the fact that
in July, 1887, Chang Kai-Shek sent
a message to the Japanese govern
ment through the British Embassy
in Toxic offering an immediate
armistice and the withdrawal Of all
Chinese troops if. Japanese troops
likewise would be withdrawn to
given line pending negotiations.
Nothing came of the offer, for as
the Ambassador says. Japan was
not interested in anything save the
conquest of Asia.

Observance Of Dec. !
As Holiday Opposed
byMrs. Roosevelt
Pearl Horbor Anniversary
Day Of Great Sadness,
She Tells Press

Mrs. Roosevelt would hate to see
December made a holiday "be-
cause to me it Is day of great
sadness" she told her press con-
ference today. Asked to make a
statement on the anniversary of
Pearl Harbor attack, Mrs. Roosevelt
strongly opposed the suggestion
which has been made to declare
the day holiday.
1--WE unnecessarily lost human
lives" she said. I'VE can replace
the ships. but we cannot replace
the human lives.
I'VE should learn from it the
lesson that no matter how much
you would like to keep peace, 1t
depends upon other people besides
yourself. Therefore you should
never think that you could accom-
plish it by turning inward to your
own interests. You've got to think
in terms of the world as q whole
to keep peace.
Should Make Us Work.
"1t ought to be date in our
history from which we can learn
enough to make resolutions that
such things will not happen again.
1t Is not a date for holidays. It's
a date that should make us work. ~
Mrs. Roosevelt also told her press
conference that she was receiving
letters from parents all over the
country asking her about their sons
in England.
When she went to Britain, she
said, she thought she might be able
to come back with a general picture
of how the American boys were liv-
ing, but Il never realized that I
would apparently touch so many
individuals"
There were letters from mothers
saying their sons had written from
British hospitals to report Mrs.
Roosevelt had visited them. Could
Mrs. Roosevelt tell them what hos
pital? She couldn't do that but
she could say that there were no
desperately serious cases in that
hospital as she had made a point
Of finding out.
Other parents said they had seen
their boys face in evoup shots with
Mrs. Roosevelt and asked her to
tell them anything she could re-
member about their boys. Mrs.
Roosevelt said she was very glad
that this had happened and she was
trying to answer all the letters.
Teacher Problem Discussed.
Asked to comment on the alleged
exodus of teachers from the public
schools OF the country to higher
paid non-teaching jobs, Mrs. Roose-
welt said the States would have to
find ways Of getting revenue to in
crease the teachers salaries. The
people will have to see, she said, that
both teaching standards and teach
ers' salaries do not deteriorate dur
ing the war because the postwar
generation must be given a general
education and trained in technical
skills.
Mrs, Roosevelt is entertaining Mrs.
Eisenhower, wife Of 1t. Gen. Dwight
Eisenhower, and Mrs. Patton. wife
of Mai Gen. George Pattony as tea
this afternoon. The President OF
Cuba will be guest at tea in the
White House tomorrow and will re-
main for a stag dinner.
Mrs. Roosevelt also ar1nolnced
that she is being inducted into Phi
Beta Kappa in Boston Friday, on a
year old invitation, and next Mon
day night she will attend a concert
Of the Symphony Orchestra Of
Poughkeepsie. N. Y, at which John
Warner, chief of the New York State
police, and Mrs. Lytle Hull. the
former Mrs. Vincent Astor, will play

duce enough OF every vital food and
fiber to meet the Nations war
time needs and TO supply allied ma
tions with absolutely essential
foods and fibers. This wartime
program calls for the greatest
total production of farm products
in our history and record-breaking
amounts of milk. eggs. chickens,
hogs. rice. sugar dry beans and
field peas. canning peas and toma-
toes. soybeans. and peanuts.
The necessity of meeting these
goals fully makes the 1912 produc-
tion season 'the most crucial in
the history of American Agricul-
ture," as Secretary of Agriculture
Claude r. Wfckard has stated. For
as If expanding production were
not a big enough war job, the task
for many farmers will be compli-
Gated by shortages of farm labor
machinery and production supplies.
Only the most efficient farm pro
duction can attain the huge goals
Lands. labor, and supplies must be
used in turning out commodities IN
which known shortages exist
rather than in producing commodi'
ties already well stocked. And
farmers will need the cooperation
of others TO solve the problems oi
production which may develop as
the season goes along.
Outlined below are some of the
highlights of the 1912 production
program for principal commodities
Grain and Feed Crops
Corn-The 1912 production goa
is s per cent above 1941 in ordel
TO have plenty of grain to continue
the expansion already under way il
meat. dairy and poultry produc
ton. Emphasis will be on use o
highyield seed and labor saving
equipment.
Wheat-Plenty on hand and tn,
1912 acreage will be smaller thar
in 1871 to avoid overlooking trans
portation and marketing systems
Problem will be to find storage TO

Oats and Rye, Barley, Grain Sor
ghum. and Hay-Production abou
equal to 1941 crops will meet tn,
need.
Rice-A per cent increase owe
1941 is sought.

Soybeans-Farmers are urged t,
expand their soybean paintings a
much as available land, labor, ant
