Grew Warns
Of Japanese
yellow Men Called
Formidable

NEW YORK, Oct. 27-R-
Americans were cautioned to-
day by Joseph c. Grew, former
Ambassador to japan, to guard
against "a foolish optimism, q
complacent self confid e n c e"
which, he said, would prepare
the way for an unnecessary de-
spair" in the war with Japan.
In an address prepared for the
Books and Authors luncheon,
Grew listed among the psychic
logical minefield and ambushes'
to be avoided such assumptions
as:
1. The japanese are less for
midable because they are not
free.
2. The cities of Japan are film
sy and incapable of standing up
under incendiary air raids.
3. The Japanese can be starv-
ed into submission.
Despite her for m d q b e
strength, Japan can and must be
defeated, but, the former Am
bassador warned, "our efforts
cannot and must not be less than
heroic. We cannot fight
partially, or tentatively, or dub
iously, against men who are
fighting body and soul under the
frenzy or fanaticism exploited
by Dictatorship"

Treason Trials
Open Today
IA Witnesses
to Testify

CHICAGO. Oct. IT R -
u. S. District Attorney j. Albert
Woll was ready to begin presen-
tation of the Governments OPP
ening statement in the trial of
three couples on charges of trea-
son today e p. M. c. w. To-. Sc
lection of the jury of nine wo-
men and three men was COM
pleted yesterday, the opening
day of the States first treason
case.
There appeared some doubt
that the first of the la witness
es called by the Government
would testify today. The trial
was not expected to be complet-
ed for about six weeks.
The six defendants, each
guarded by deputy marshal in
court, are the parents, aunt and
uncle, and two friends Of Her
bert Hans Haupt, %, one Of the
German saboteurs who was exc
cuted in Washington Aug. 8 with
five others.
The defendants-Mr. and Mrs.
Hans Max Haupt, Mr.. and Mrs.
Walter Froehling, young Haupt's
uncle and aunt, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Otto Richard Wergin ARE
charged by the government with
concealing the youthful Nazi
saboteur in Chicago and hand
ling money he brought from
Germany, while knowing Of his
sabotage schemes.
II convicted by the jury the
penalty will be fixed by the
Court. The minimum Is five
years in prison, the maximum is
death. The defendants, who be-
came naturalized citizens after
coming here in 1923 from their
native Germany. have pleaded
innocent.

In a letter to Secretary of
Navy Knox, President Roosevelt
expressed pride in the Nays
"heroic accomplishments in this
war" and declared it Is doing
"the biggest job any Navy has
ever been called upto to do, and
doing it superbly."
Capt. Leland p. Lovette, Navy
Public Relations director, said in
a Navy Day eve address at Pitts
burgh that American ships had
escorted 600, 900 troops overseas
without loss of q soldier and was
confronted with "the most stu
pendous job ever undertaken by
any Navy"
HEAVY LOSSES
He asserted that America had
lost heavily on the dangerous
northern supply route to Russia
but added that If so per cent of
the cargo gets through lit is
worth it,"
The President wrote Knox
that he was "acutely aware of
the tremendous role" the Navy
was playing "in the preservation
of freedom and human decency."
"When I greeted you just one
year ago." he said, 1.-the Navy
was on defense duty, a symbol of
our hope that we could remain
isolated and inviolable in
world where tyranny ragged un-
checked. AS I greet you today,
the Navy is fighting hard in ev-
cry corner Of the globe to bring
victory to our cause.
ION this occasion I need not
ask the people of the United
States to pay tribute to our Ma
Wy, for I am sure that there is
not a man, woman or child In
the land who has not been
thrilled by its triumphs and in
spired by its indomitable cour-
age. They know that their
Navy Is doing the biggest Job any
Navy has ever been called upon
to do, and doing 1t superbly.
They have the most profound
faith in their Nays ability to
sweep our enemies from the seas
and in conjunction with the Ar
my, the Marine Corps and the
Coast Guard, preserve Americas
place Of honor in the community
of nations"
The Navy League, the civilian
organization which made the
Nays welfare its one objective
through the long years OF un-
easy peace, started Navy Day In
1922, selecting Oct. "a because
that was the birthday Of former
President Theodore Roosevelt,
founder of the country's modern
Navy.
Its organizations in nearly l.
900 communities have arranged
this years programs, with Clar-
ence Dillon of New York as Nat.
ional chairman. Secretary Knox
will speak at . dinner In New
York and Admiral Ernest J..
King, commander in chief, u. S.

The Great Game of Politics
Aroused Congress. Not Cabinet Shifts. Called
Best Way to Cure Administrators Ills

one else If Mr.. Roosevelt is going to
continue playing ball with the labor
lobbyists and retain his political
labor alliances.
A more promising plan than that
of forcing him to change one set
of acquiescent men for another set
equally acquiescent would seem to
be to build up In Congress a vigorous.
persistent, critical spirit which will
prod and probe the Executive and
the many boards and commissions
created by him into abandoning in
competency for competency.
That can be done by arousing
public sentiment, and public senti-
ment can be aroused by getting to
the public the facts-as was the
case with Mrs. Roosevelt and the
o. C. D. nonsense and with the con-
gressional pension business.
Right now the things concerning
the President about which the pub
lie should be concerned are-first,
the Intellectual way In which he Is
dealing with the imitation danger.
Second, is the way In which he
continues to temporize with the
strike situation and his refusal to
permit any restraint to be imposed
upon the plans Of the labor leaders
to utilize the war to push toward
the goal Of industrial socialization
and the closed shop.
Third, there is his non-co-opera-
tive. II not actually hostile, attitude
toward the Byrd committee recon-
mendation for saving $4,000, ,00O, 900
by cutting every nDn-war expendi-
ture to the bone.
Fourth, there Is his insistence upon
retaining all the so-called social
gains" of the New Deal during the
war.
Hopkins Called . danger"
In addition, there is his obvious
determination to keep only New
Dealers, or those whom the New
Dealers approve. in the key defense
positions. And finally, there Is the
danger of having as his closest coun-
selor and friend rs inefficient and
enthusiastic . yes-man Is Harry
Hopkins.
Perhaps all these things cannot
be corrected by an enlightened pub
Nc opinion and an aroused Con-
gress. but certainly most of them
can be. And 1t Is hard to see how
any Of them can be corrected by
cabinet changes. which is not, how
ever, to say that some cabinet
changes would not constitute a
measurable improvement.
At any rate, it is clear that the
perils involved in the present state
of affairs cannot be averted by &C
cepting everything the President
does in the Hopkins spirit. To fol-
low that course Is neither patriotic
nor intelligent. 1t would. in fact,
be calamitous.
The solution lies in an informed
| public opinion which will reflect it
self in Congress, Congress holds the
cards, and should be made to play
them.

The French chief Of state. Mar
shal Petain, has striven to be
true to his verbal and written q.
promises that his country would
remain on the sidelines for the
duration of the conflict, it Is ad-
mitted in well-informed quarters.
but terrific pressure has been
brought to bear on him not only
by his Vice Premier, Admiral
Darlan, but also by other ele-
nents at Vichy.
The argument which, apparent
ly. has persuaded the octogen-
arian ruler OF France to give the
signal for cooperation with the
Axis was that unless the war
prisoners now doing hard labor
in the Reich are returned to
France in time to work the fields,
France will certainly starve next
winter and there will be no relief
for France, either from the
United States or the Reich.
Prisoners Used as Lever.
These 7,0O0, 900 men which Ger
many is using as q powerful lever
to force France into the new
order" are mostly young men,
more than half of them farmers.
Otto Abetz. Hitler's Ambassador
in Paris, informed Marshal Petain
that unless France participates
effectively-rsther than intellec-
tually, as hitherto-in Europe's
new order" these men will re-
main in the Reich, and will be
used for all kinds of work, either
in Germany itself or behind the
lines on the Russian front.
There is something more to be
considered In the prospect Of
full collaboration between France
and Germany than the Nazis' use
of the French feet against Brit
ain and the United States. The
French fleet Is. Of course. i'm
portant, but 1t Is felt In respon-
sible naval quarters in Wash

tain large forces in those coun-
tries to fight guerrillas. An al
most identical situation prevails
in Bohemia, where in spite Of
the Nazi mailed fist the Czechs
continue to fight. Less virulent,
but unpleasant, disorders occur
in Holland and Norway.
Berlin believes all these coun-
tries could be quickly pacified II
France were to become a men,
Der of the Axis. The dominant
position of French culture in
most of these countries, particu-
larIy in the Balkans, is great.
II Hitler can present France
as the first former great power
to recant its association with the
Anglo-Saxon countries. he ex-
poets to have little trouble pacify-
ing Europe and proceeding me-
thodically to war on Great
Britain and the United States,
against whom he will be in po-
sition to fight a long time.

themselves. You cannot have a
peoples war unless. the people
actively participate in it,. And
participation implies more than
merely carrying out bureaucratic
orders; 1t means helping to Gre
ate new instruments for the win
ming of the war.
Now the feeling of the people
is that there is really nothing
creative they can do about this
war, unless they run to Wash
ington and get job in an agency.
From moving about this country
and talking with large numbers
of groups, I have found one
thing: Frustration.
The people are aware OF
great many things that deeply
perturb them. But they have the
feeling that to do anything about
them might upset the admins
tration machinery. Somehow
they must fit themselves as cogs
into the mechanism or be useless.
Since it is impossible to organize
over 100000 900 people like ma
chine and, above all, organize the
American people, who have an
entirely different tradition of
organized action, we have the
state conducting a war, with the
people as outsiders.
Actually, what we are doing in
this war is supplanting the Ma
ton by the state But the talent
and vitality Of the people is not
in the state. but in the Nation.
The state is by its nature a bu-
reaucratic mechanism. In total
war that mechanism should be
used to mobilize the people, not
to mobilize itself. The larger
and more cumbersome 1t becomes,
the greater are the dangers OF
breakdown. And the more per-
feet the machine, the more Is
human initiative eliminated from
1t. In the perfect administrative
machine. man plays the part of a
cog. and any Intervention Of
real brains and ideas breaks down
the machine.
Problem Of Integration.
This is the perennial trouble
with armies. They almost invari-
ably court-martial their Billy
Mitchells and don't listen to their
MacArthurs or de Gaulles. For
creative intelligence disturbs the
0smooth-functioning tables Of
basic regulations.
But it is the perennial trouble
with all bureaucracies. Small
colonial wars can be won by stats
of civil servants. Apparently the
British in the Far East thought
that this was that kind of war.
But total wars involve the use
of all the forces existent. And
the problem. therefore, is one Of
the integration and recreation
of existing organized and indi-
vidual energies.
Let us take an Illustration Of
what 1 mean. The state has set
up numerous instruments for the
dissemination of information,
the purpose of which is to keep
the people as accurately informed
as is commensurate with military
safety and through the spoken
