BY LLOYD LEHRBAS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8-(P-
The japanese army has an elite
corps called the Special Serv-
ice Section which-on the basis
of its record in past japanese
conquests-can be expected to
play q major role in exploitation
Of the Philippines.
What the SIS is doing in Ma
Mia is yet to be disclosed, but
the known record of its wide
spread operations in occupied
China shows the possibilities.
The Special Service Section"
is the army's hand-picked and
powerful unit for accommodating
vast funds for operations for
which no accounting is ever
made, and for permitting high
ranking officers to feather their
own nests in the process-all at
the expense of the conquered
peoples.
MAINTAINS FICTION
The Japanese army itself
maintains the polite fiction of
the Samurai code of spotless
incorruptibility, RELOCATING to
the SIS q monopoly on plumber
ing occupied territories.
japanese officers, frequently
in uniform, direct its operations
down to the smallest detail and
Japanese "Ronin" (gangsters)
and Korean camp-followers do
the dirty work.
Profits in occupied China
which are still piling up
amount to millions of dollars
annually from special licenses,
taxes, fees, monopoly, exactions,
protection payments, cuts on
narcotic sales, and ransoms from
kidnappings.
MAKES PROGRESS
After many years, and against
great odds, the Chinese govern
ment had finally made consid-
cradle progress in eradicating
opium smoking. Within q few
days after japanese troops &C.
eupied areas around Shanghai a
gigantic Japanese-do dominated OPP
ium monopoly sprang up, with
the Special Service Section"
providing the opium and other
narcotics, furnishing protection,
and handling all finances.
A special U. S. Treasury ag-
ent In Shanghai forwarded to
Washington a comprehensive re-
port on the detailed operations,
naming the Japanese SIS offic-
ers.
Opium smoke curled in the
wake Of the advancing Japan
csc army. Madame Chang Kali
Shek, wife Of the Generalissimo,
charged that the Japanese had
set out on a deliberate campaign
to drug the Chinese into a ma
ton Of slaves.
COUNTS DIVES
An American missionary, in
q detailed survey Of the Japan
ese.sponsored narcotics business
in Marking, counted more than
600 opium dives which were Ii
censed and protected by the SIS,
and estimated that one in eight
of Markings population had be-
come users Of narcotics.
Almost as soon as the army
had sentries posted along the
borders of the international
settlement at Shanghai after
conquest of the Chinese area in
November, 1897, the SIS began
selling licenses for gambling
houses and brothels, and collect
ing q percentage Of all profits.

In a speech which was generally
regarded as the most definite pro-
nOuncement of Britain's after wal
policy that has yet been made by a
British statesman, Mr.. Eden echoed
ideas previously expressed by Vice
President Henry A. Wallace and Un-

and appealed to Britons to give a
generous welcome to American SOL

The future of Anglo-American
friendship is ''in the hands of the

Cancellation Probe
Begun by FEC
PetriIIo and TrommeII
Asked for Fucts in
Calling OF Proerom

The Federal Communica-
tions Commission today started
an investigation of the cancella-
ton by the National Broadcast
ing Co. of broadcast by the Ma
tional High School Orchestra
from Interlochen, Mich.
The broadcast was called of bv
the company at the direction of
James c. Petrillo. president of the
American Federation of Musicians
tAFL}, who contended the amateur
orchestra took work from profess
sional musicians.
At the direction Of the commits
sion, Chairman James Fly sent
Identical letters to Mr.. Petrillo and
to Niles Trammell. president OF the
National Broadcasting Co.
Suggested by Vandenberg.
The letters informed the two off,
cials that the commission has re-
ceived letter from Senator VAN
denberg. Republican, of Michigan,
suggesting that the commission OBJ
tain information" concerning the
Interlochen cancellation.
The commission would appre-
ciate it. if you would, at your ear
lieSt convenience, send us full
statement of the facts relating to
the cancellation Of the program" it
said
At the same time, the commits
sion announced that its staff had
been directed to advise it on pro-
cedure for broader study into
other musical problems as they
affect radio broadcasting.
The commission presumably will
consider Mr.. Petrillos action In
ordering federation members not
to make records or transcriptions
after August which might be used
in place OF live" music.
Mr.. Fly and officials of the Ma
| ton Association of Broadcasters
have contended the order against
canned music would seriously in
terfere with broadcasting. partic-
ularly by the smaller stations which
depend to a considerable extent on
records and transcriptions.
Court Decision Cited.
In its decision to 60 into musical
problems affecting radio broadcast
ing, the FEC apparently relied on
decision by the Circuit Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia
several months ago in connection
with its investigation of joint news
paper-radio operation.
The decision grew out OF the COM
missions subpoenaing of James
Stahlman, publisher of the Nashville,
Tenn, Banner and former president
OF the American Newspaper Pub
| fishers Association. Mr.. Stahlman.
| acting on advice of COUNSEL ignored
the subpoena.
| The Court OF Appeals held that
the commission had full authority
and power to inquire into questions
| arising under the provisions of the
| Communications Act or relating to
its enforcement.
This" the court said, I'VE think.
! includes authority to obtain the in
formation necessary to discharge
Its proper functions. which would
embrace an investigation aimed at

tices contrary to the public interest. I"

In all, the indictment set forth,
so quotations from articles and
statements published and printed
or caused to be printed by the de-
PENDANTS before and after the at
tack on Pearl Harbor. The first
