Jops Deny War Aims
Include u. 5. Domination

NEW YORK, Sept. Is R.-
Sounding what may be the theme
of Tokio's propaganda during the
next phase of the war, Japanese
government spokesman declared to-
day that Japan did not seek to con-
quer America. but was fighting only
to break Occidental control in East
Asia
This theme was voiced by Toma-
kaZu Hori, spokesman for the cab
met, in commenting on speech
last night at Bridgeport, Conn. by
Joseph c. Grew, former United
States Ambassador to Japan.
A Toxic broadcast quoted Hori as
'flatly repudiating Mr.. Crews as
sertion that Japan's war aims are
control not only of their Oriental
neighbors, but Occidental peoples,
especially those of America"
This is news to u.s." Hori was
quoted as saying.
Hori's quotation was distortion
| of Crews actual remarks, which
/ included:
The ruthless will which is driving
the japanese patton toward con-
quest knows neither gentleness nor
mercy. We are fighting for our
individual and national existence"
Hori took this slant: IF we hadn't
acted in time" he said, referring tc
Japan's Pearl Harbor attack while
her envoys were still negotiating ir
Washington, "the United States and
her Allies would have continued tt
control the Orient and put a noose
around our necks"
He said the United States pro
voked the war" yet had no definite
war aims.
I'VE had our aims determined ant
set forth even b, ,ore the war be
gan" Hori asserted.

Question Of Admitting
New Veterans Stirs
Legion Controversy
Close Decision Expected
At National Convention
Opening Saturday
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, Sept. l5.-The
American Legion Is about to decide
whether to invite into its circle the
boys who picked up where 1t left
of IS years ago.
The question OF admitting vet
erans of the present war to MEM
bership promises to set on plenty
of fireworks at the Legion's three
dav national convention, opening
Saturday.
The vanguard of national of1-
cials, arriving to set up convention
headquarters. sidestepped comment
on the controversy today, awaiting
a decision by the 1,500 delegates to
a wartime meeting stripped Of frills
and play.
Sentiment Divided.
District and State departments
already have mulled over the mat
ter. Some favored letting the new
veterans join. and others were
strongly opposed.
Those in favor argue there1l be
close tie between the two groups,
since 100 1000 of the 1.125 900 Le-
gionnaires already are back fight-
ing, not to mention 300 900 sons and
grandsons of World War veterans.
Too, they say, the Legion should
have an heir for It's millions Of dol
lars in property.
Those on the other side have ex-
pressed the feeling that disparity
in age of the groups would bring
a May-December marriage, with
the old veterans shunted to tha
sidelines blythe new ones.
Charter Change Required.
Regardless Of how the delegates
vote, the charter under which the
Legion was created would have to
be amended for admission OF the
new veterans. Under the charter,
only those who served in the armed
forces between April s, 1917 and
November II, 1918 and were hon.
orably discharged may belong.
Then, as James A. Young, con-
vention chairman, pointed out,
there's the possibility that even
though they get an invitation to
join the Legion the present vet
Grams may want to set up their own
organization.
This would be logical step" hs
added, because since the Civil
War there has been no arnalgama-
ton of veterans organizations"

as possible and that now 1t Is up
to the people.
Some of our problems seem
almost insuperable,' he said, re-
ferring to the administration lead
ers and the heads of the armed
forces in Washington, but the spirit
of their determination to solve
these problems is absolutely in
vincible and they are solving them
hour by hour and day by day.
IF only our people. our people as
a whole, will realize the dangers
we are up against, what we stand
to lose by failure. what we must and
will gain by victory---if only our
people as whole will get in and
push to the maximum of their sew

Important Victory
Won OFF SoIomons
In Carrier Battle
Fight Aug. "a Compared
With Midway Encounter.
Reporter Declares
By CLARK LEE,

Associated Press War Correspondent.
PEARL HARBOR. Sept. 15.-The
United States is nearing the half
way mark in its fight to destroy the
Japanese Navys aircraft carrier
strength, which is the most impor-
tsnt immediate objective of the war
In the Pacific.
It can now be reported that a small
7,50O-ton japanese carrier first iden-
titled as the RXuzyo possibly was
sunk in the big battle between car
riers off the Solomon Islands Au-
gust "a.
Our pilots got four bomb hits and
one torpedo hit on this ship. Patrol
plane pilots several hours after the
battle saw the carrier dead in the
water and listing.
Our pilots who were on the spot
also believe two japanese destroyers
and one submarine were damaged in
the battle, in which our own losses
were minor.
Other Ships Damaged.
In addition two Japanese cruisers.
one battleship and one transport
were severely damaged. One of the
cruisers and the transport later
were seen abandoned.
All these facts were compiled on
the spot by an Associated Press re-
porter from personal observation
and from all the available onicial
information and the reports OF pilots
who participated in the attacks.
The truth is that we won an i'm
portant victory.
"Details of the action were re-
ported by Navy communicates Ill
and ll2, August Is and August
rs, which told of severely damag-
ing the small carrier Ryuzyo and
of hitting large carrier in addi-
ton to other shipsD
This was the third great carrier
battle in the Pacific in which car
rier biased planes did almost all the
! fighting. 1t compares with the Mid
way battle in the size Of the forces
involved, although the damage in
fiicted on the enemy was smaller
than at Midway. AS at Midway and
the Coral Sea engagement. the jap
anese invasion forces were turned
back short of their objectives.
In addition to the damage to
enemy surface ships listed above,
we shot down 96 enemy airplanes on
August "a while losing only few
| pilots.
Carrier Believed Sunk.
While the small japanese car
rier which was hit by our bombs
and torpedoes wasn't seen to sink
our pilots think there Is every rea-
son to believe it went down.
II this is so, 1t was the sixth
enemy carrier sent to the bottom
The other five were the Ryukaku
in the Coral Sea, May 7, and th'
Soryu, Hiryu, Kaga and Akagi al
Midway, June 4.
That leaves the enemy eight
known carriers. the Hayataka, Sho
kaku, Zuikaku, Hitaka, Junyo
Zuihzo, Kasuga Maru and eitheI
the Ryujo or the Hosho.,
In addition to the Hosho o.
Ryujo, the enemy had three larg'
carriers in the Solomons battle, o
which two may have been damaged
by near misses by Navy bomber
and Army Bits. At least one o
these enemy carriers Is believed t.
have lost a majority of its air
planes.

Retailers will be allowed one week

tomorrow as the United States
launches its first offensive of the
Pacific war.
The date of attack-the seventh in

after Japan's assault on Pearl Har-

things seem to happen in the Pacific,

break through on Bataan was April
7 Of this year. The Midway battle
ended June 7.
Since this morning there has been
a sudden change in the atmosphere

tensing their muscles like fighter

punch.
We have been riding around the
ocean for what seems like 30 years
and everybody aboard has reached
the complaining stage, gripping about

psychology is to Keep you out SO

seemed to call for an incidental
song-something light for Fred

he rode along. A request for a
