Wi|lkie Urges Accord
On War Purposes by
U. s., British Peoples
Findings Sounder Thon
Leaders, He Says in
Anniversary Message
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-Wendell
Willkie expressed belief today, in a
message to the people of England
on the anniversary of Pearl Harbor,
that Americans and Britons could
reach conclusions as to the purpose
of the war that are sounder than
the wisest pronouncements OF tenn
porary leaders"
"The right of free expression and
all 1t implies was attacked at Pearl
Harbor," Mr.. Willkie said. Lets
get on with the discussion"
Mr.. Willkie said 1t was his opinion
that II a common accord of our pur-
poses was not reached while we
fight, we will inevitably fall apart
when the fighting is over" and it
was for this reason, he added, that
he was trying to prod" the leaders
OF both nations Into frank state
ments Of their postwar purposes"
Calls for Free Expression.
And 1t is for this reason" he said,
that I fight for the right of your
people and of mine to express them
selves freely to each other, unham-
pered by unnecessary censorship"
The 1910 Republican presidential
candidate said that international
censorship generally was set up for
one of two either to pro-
tect our feelings, as if we were
supersensitive children, or to cover
up official mistakes"
For instance" he continued, "a
day or two after our collaboration
with Darlan was announced I was
required to delete from talk I
was making to the American people
my condemnation of that policy and
no reference to my position was al
lowed to reach England
"At the same time similar con-
demnation of our policy was being
made in Parliament and we learned
by radio and press that there was
grave disapproval of it in England,
as there was in America.
ITO illustrate still further the
deviousneSs of official censorship,
we likewise read in our papers of
your governments refusal to allow
De Gaulle to broadcast his protest
over the Darlan arrangement for
fear of embarrassing our govern
ment.
Peoples Conclusions Sound.
1T is all proof, if any is needed,
that the people of our two nations
must know each others minds, for
I believe that the American and
British people can, in good temper,
unguided by the paternalistic hand
of government through the methods
by which they have always func-
toned so successfully, within them
selves reach conclusions as to pur-
pose that are sounder than the
Wisest announcements of temporary
leaders"
Il have no doubt" Mr.. Willkie
added, that there are many people
in Britain who do not understand
and who are critical of many OF
Americas purposes. They justiflably
point out that some of our excessive
ly high tariffs set up trade barriers
that have in the past caused world
economic disturbances and will in
the future defeat any hope Of world
economic cooperation"

Hermann Rauschning, former presi-

anti-Nazi author, declared yester-

Army is going to- break down." he
told newsmen.
"One indication Of its growing
weakness was Hitlers failure to
reinforce Marshal Rommel in time
to stave of his defeat"
The anti-Nazi writer was emphatic
in his belief that 1t. Gen. Dwight
Eisenhower's dealings with Admiral
Jean Darlan in North Africa did as
much as any military victory to
seal Hitler's doom in Africa.
I am surprised" said Mr.. Rauscl1.

ican people can't see that. Not only
would there have been great blood
shed by any other course, since not
only might the entire North, African
campaign have been failure. but

NEW YORK. Aug. 8.-The Toxic
radio last night broadcast Japa-
nese editorial comment containing
the first hints from there that
Japan herself might open a second
front with an attack on Russia in
Siberia
The broadcast noted reports Of
the arrival in Moscow of Allied
representatives and said the moves
in the Russian capital were "indi-
cative of further Anglo American
Vaccinations aimed to open up a
second front to save the Soviet
Union from collapse"
The Japanese press, the radio
added. pointed out that formation
of a second front was not necessar-
lily restricted to Europe or Western
Asia or Africa.
The radio quoted the newspaper
Chugai as warning that this point
should be borne in mind by Japan
and that with the approach of the
decisive struggle between Germany
and the Soviet Union Japan too
should be prepared even more fully
for ultimate victory"
There have been various reports,
particularly from Chinese quarters.
that Japan had massed a large
army In eastern Asia for an attack
on Siberia.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 8.-Medi-
cines valued at $50, 900 were removed

thence to Argentina.

SEATTLE, Aug. 8--"Japan is al

he said. They are justifying their
action on the ground that the Rus

terials."
Mr.. Magnuson said he knew only
In a general way of the sinking Of
Russian ships by japanese subma-
rines. He said he had heard the
name of the vessel most recently
sunk in the North Pacific but had
forgotten it.
Gives "War" Causes.
"War between Japan and Russia
started" he told interviewers, when
the Japs began Strengthening their
forces in Manchuria. and when they
seized Attu and Kiska Islands in the
Aleutians.
"It is generally believed in Wash
ineton that the Japs when into Attu
and Kiska for three reasons. First.
they beat us to it. They knew we'd
he there sooner or later in offensive
action against the Japs home
islands.
Second, they wanted weather In
formation from that area. Because
the weather moves from northwest
to southeast across the continent
from the North Pacific, they are
now in a position to know what kind
of weather we're having along the
West Coast and in the northern In
terror.
But the last and perhaps the
most important reason was to be
able to straddle the Russian supply
line from the American West Coast.
Islands Have Double Value.
1.-THE value Of Kiska and Attu to
them is simply this-they can harass
the lease lend supply to Russia and
their flank is protected when they
make an attack on Siberia
He said that las far as an invasion
stepping stone, Attu and Kiska are
out. The Japs could just as easily
assemble an invasion force In their
home islands and sail by Kiska on
their way East. If they were gong
tn invade Alaska they would go
right on by the Aleutians.
I'm fact" he added. II don't know
of a better place for 10000 Japs 10

They're no good until they're taken

ATLANTA, Ga, April 8.-Into the
peach tree and penitentiary atmos-
phere today moved the Mats, who
have been granted a two-day leave
of absence from dealing the Phils
a daily defeat, and Catcher Jake
Early appears as annoyed as some
of those enforced Government
guests.
Early cherishes those numerous
Washington victories, which had
reached the proportions of 19 in 26
games against major league foes
with that AL conquest Of the futile
Phils yesterday at Augusta. but Jake
is lamenting his failure to aid the
Mats with his hitting.
The Mats had only four remaining
exhibition games after today's tiff
with Atlanta before plunging into
payof proceedings with the Yankees
on Tuesday at Griffith Stadium,
and Jake is displaying no signs of
swapping his prolonged spring
slump.
Jake's Eyes Defective.
Early is a key figure in the Mats
hopes of wedging their way into the
American Leagues first division
after an absence of five years. He
owns enough power to take up some
of the Mats slack in that depart
ment, but thus far he hasn't ap-
piled the spark.
1t is probable Jake never will be-
come a consistently dreaded batter
because his eyes prohibit it. He Is
a far-sighted specimen who has be-
come fair sort of ballplayer despite
his handicap. That he is any
threat doubtless is attributable to
his constant practice, for the fellow
will swing that bat as long as any
body will throw to him.
II won't mind it 50 much as long
as I can catch winning games" says
Early, "but certainly would like to
be more help. I've tried everything
attempting to snap out OF 1t, but my
timing is still of.
About one day in six I'm lucky
If / get any sort Of hit. I don't
know the reason for 1t, but about
once a week or so everything ap-
pears hazy and blurred to me, but
that's no excuse fer q slump. /
should be doing better"
Early is down on the end Of the
bat on instructions from Manager
Bucky Harris, who is willing to for
give more frequent strikeouts for
the power Jake could insert in
Washington's generally single-slap-
ping lineup.
Mickey Vernon, also ticketed to
carry the terrific load Of supplying
the Mats with distance hitting, be-
gan to approach his last seasons
swatting form yesterday when he
delivered a home run and a single
Bruce Campbell, moved into the
vital No. 4 spot occupied by Cecil
Travis last year, hasn't been dent
ing fences in exhibitions, but he be-
lieves he's discovered the flaw ir
his technique. I'm swinging toe
hard" says Bruce. I'm battling
for those extra bases when I should
be taking my normal cut at the
ball. I'm going to stop trying tc
lift them out Of the park and settle
