Trace Deterioration.
The documents dated after the
MeSserSmith, Wuest and Grew pre-
dictions show our relations with Ger
many and Japan deteriorating along
the lines forecast by the diplomats.
They also show the executive branch
of the Government struggling as
best 1t knew how to impress the
country with the dangers of time.
Special light is thrown on the con-
versations in the autumn of l941
with Ambassador Nomura of Japan
and Saburo Kurusu, special ennis
sary, which ended an hour after the
Pearl Harbor attack The preface
offers general conclusion about the
documents:
Our foreign policy during the
decade under consideration neceS-
sarlly had to move within the frame
work of a gradual evolution Of pub
lie opinion in the United States
away from the idea of isolation ex-
pressed in neutrality legislation and
toward realization that the Axis
design was plan of world conquest
IN which the United States was in

hapS ultimate, victim. and that our
primary policy therefore must be
defense against actual and mount
ing danger. This was an important
factor influencing the conduct of
our foreign relations
The pages which follow show the
SLOW march of the United States
from an attitude of illusory aloofness
toward worldwide forces endanger-
ing America to position the
forefront of the United Nations that
are making common cause at an

tlon and in brutality OF operation

White Paper Again Stresses
AIertness of Administration

to the late Chairman McReynolds
OF the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee, urging passage of an act that
would empower the administration
to embargo the shipment of arms to
the aggressor ration in an inter-
national conflict. The various en-
barge acts which were passed pro-

Mr.. Hull in those early DAYS Of the
Roosevelt administration was dis
turbed by the purposeless course
taken by the Disarmament Confer
ence in Geneva, at which we were
represented by Norman Davis. Dur
ing that period Undersecretary of
State Phillips received a forecast
from George Messersmith, the Con-
sui General in Berlin:
Il think we must recognize that
while Germany of today wants
peace, it is by no means a peaceful
country or one looking forward to a
long period Of peace The present
German government and it's adher-
ents desire peace ardently for the
present because they need peace to
carry through the changes in Ger
many which they want to bring
about What they want to do. how
ever, is definitely to .nake Germany
the most capable instrument of war
that there has ever existed"
Maintained Innocence.
The Messersmith memorandum
was dated June 26, 1893. The Ger
mans, however, were maintaining an
innocent front. On March %, 1885,
Mr.. Hull conversed with Ambas-
sador Luther, and included these
sentences within his memorandum
on the talk:
I referred to the reported objec-
tlves, such as the economic union
with Austria, the return of Memel.
the restoration of certain portions
Of Czechoslovakia with three and
half million inhabitants and certain
other objectives. The Ambassador
promptly disclaimed and denied as
to each of these and insisted that
his government wanted peace"
Three years later Germany forced
a union with Austria. retook Memel
and, by the Munich agreement, got
the part Of Czechoslovakia Mr.. Hull

Grew Sends Warning.
On December 27, 1884, Ambassa-
dor Grew in Toxic sent a note to
the State Department analyzing the
issue which in 1941 forced the war
between the United States and
Japan. He said:
The thought which is uppermost
in mind is that the United States
is faced, and will be faced in future,
with two main alternatives. One is
to be prepared to withdraw from
the Far East, gracefully and gradu-
ally perhaps, but not the less ef-
fectively in the long run, permitting
our treaty rights to be nullifled, the
open door to be closed. our vested
economic interests to be dissolved
and our commence to operate un-
protected.
The other main alternative is to
insist and to continue to insist, not
aggressively vet not the less firmly,
