ONE OF the factors strength
ening the possibility Of a naval
assault is the presence in North
Africa Of Vice Admiral Emile
Henri Muselier of the Fighting
French. who designed the de-
lenses of Blzerte.
Before he left London 10 Join
Gen. Giraud. Musoher called
pointed attention to the PIN
points of land IS miles north
west of Bizerte which are called
. the Isles de la Galite.
These. he said. arc excellent
outposts and watch towers in
the hands of the AXIS and must
be reduced" before any naval
action against Bizerte is possible.
Obviously. fP enviSaged such
an eventuality and he knows
better than any other Allied
leader how well the defenSeS Of
Bizerte might be able 10 resist
an. attack from the sea.
Recent Axis reports have told
Of heavy Allied naval conccn-
trations al Gibraltar. including
aircraft carriers and hundreds
of landing barges. This may all
have been propaganda spread
for a distinct purpose.
But there is no propaganda
and no doubt in the fact that
Admiral Cunningha m is in
charge of the British based
there. And Cunningham is
fighter.
ADMIRAL CUNNINGHAMS
character may be Judged from
the orders he issued 10 the
Mediterranean fleet just before
II engaged and destroyed a large
: portion of Muss0iini's navy off
Cape Matapan.

rum" read the message flashed
by blinkers and signal flags.

Since he last brushed with
the italian navy. Cunningham
has itched for more action and
has missed il simply because II
Is a military impossibility for a
fleet to steam into an enemy
harbor and engage an adversary
at anchor. But if the high COM
mand gives him the word 10 co.

The Germans were fighting des-

said Red Air Force fighters and
b o m b ers were paralyzing the
enemy with mass raids.
NovoroSsisk already is threat
ened from the south by Russian

Grew Says Matsuoka
Warned Him Of War
In Spring Of 1941
nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 14.-Former
Ambassador Joseph c. Grew said
here last night that as early as the
spring of 1941 Japan's foreign min
lister had warned him that if the
United States got into a shooting
war against Germany, even in de-
Tense against the German subma-
rines," Japan would be obliged to
60 to war against the United States.
The shooting war" against Ger
man submarines began in Septem-
Der, 194l, and Japan attacked at
Pearl Harbor december 7.
In an address at Columbia Uni
versity. Mr.. Grew described a con-
versation he had with Yosuke Mat
suoka. then foreign minister, at Mat
suoka's home in TOXIC in the spring
of 1941. He said Matsuoka told him
democracy was bankrupt and that
this is the day of the great mill
tary powers"
Matsuoka expressed the view,
Mr.. Grew related, that Germany
would ''unquestionably" win the
war in Europe and that Japan
would be the "stabilizing force" in
the Far East.
"And then he went on to say"
Mr.. Grew continued, that if the
United States should get into a
shooting war with Germany, even
in defense against the German sub
marines, Japan would be obliged. on
the basis of Article 3 of the tri-
partite pact, to go to war with us"
Mr.. Grew said Japan's leaders,
like Germany's in 1914, failed to
grasp the potential fighting ca
pacity and stamina of other peo-
pies.
Had the Germans in 1914 and
the Japanese in l941 better under
stood those things" he said, had
they more accurately conceived the
inherent qualities of their future
enemies, might they not have hes
itated to rush headlong toward GER
tain ultimate destruction?"
The japanese realize, he pointed
out, that their shipping is vul-
nerable and that Eventually
we shall sink their ships faster than
they can build" So they are busily
developing their enormous Far East
ern empire to make all parts of
1t so far as possible elf-sustaining
and independent of shipping facil-
tiles to and from the homeland
