Ambassador Joseph C. Grew de-
clared last night that If the Japan
ese people had known our psychol-
ogy. moral and spiritual capacities
1T is doubtful II even their trucu-
lent and ruthless military leaders
would ever have ventured to attack
us" at Pearl Harbor.
Mr. Grew. here to receive Yale's
Howland Memorial Prize in recogni-
ton OF marked distinction in the
field of the science of government.
said that "since Pearl Harbor, we
have all become acutely aware of
how much the Japanese knew about
us. yet how little they really under
stood us: and we have also become
aware of how little-in some fields
we knew about Japan"
Mr.. Grew suggested that I'VE
should steadily acquire a more init
mate knowledge of foreign nations
and foreign peoples. their histories,
their languages. their habits and
customs. and. above all, their psy-
chologies." He emphasized that lit
is not enough to know those things
academically and superticially; they
must be known intimately"
I'VE are united with the free men
of the whole world" concluded Mr..
Grew, who was our Ambassador to
Toxic when war broke out, in a
fight to the death against tyranny
and darkness. Free institutions and
free government have prepared us
for this war; now it is our duty and
our foremost concern to insure that
freedom shall not fail"

Bakers See Shortage
|0f Bread Because Of
Shortening Cut

By Industry Leaders
After Wide Survey

A shortage OF bread and other
bakery products lis possibility, -
Representatives of the bakery indus
try warned today. as they prepared
to appear tomorrow before the Small
Business Committee to resume at
tempts to obtain increased allot-
ments of shortening.
USO clubs are finding it difficult to
get the traditional doughnuts for
servicemen and women workers face
the eventuality of finding empty
bread and bakery product shelves in
stores and bakery shops. Ralph
Ward. president of the American
Bakers Association. and Peter Red
ler. president of the Associated Re-
tail Bakers of America, declared
jointly in releasing results of sur
vey on the effect of the OPA's plan
of rationing Shortening
Both Mr. Ward and Mr.. Redler
assalled an OPA order which re-
duced shortening available to the
baking industry to 70 per cent of the
amount used in the second quarter
of last year.
This order will permit the industry
to produce only about so per cent
Of the current demand for bakery
products, spokesman for the in
dustry asserted, 1t was pointed out
that the demand has increased since
last year, because housewives are
turning to bakery products to fill
gaps in the diet caused by increased
shortages and rationing of other
foods.
The situation has been made more
critical by decline in the amount
OF home baking, the spokesman said
Many housewives have gone into war
work and no longer have time to
bake at home, he observed. In ad-
dition, since meat and butter are
bought with the same ration stamps
that cover consumer purchases of
shortening. many housewives are
spending their red stamps for these
commodities and are depending on
stores and bakery shops to supply
the baked goods.
Mr.. Ward attacked an apparent
inconsistency between the OPA Or
der rationing shortening to the bak-
ing industry and requests from other
divisions of the Government for the
increased use OF wheat and -four.

0PA Holds Up Order
On Cotton Ceilings 10
Avoid Market Upset
Prices Won't Be Set
During Trading Hours;
Action Likely Tonight
BY The Associated Press.

The Office of Price Admins
tration said in statement today
that no announcement regarding
cotton ceiling prices will be
made during the course of trad
ing in the cotton market in order
that there be no interruption of
normal trading"
The statement was issued. ap-
parently, to counteract reports that
a sudden announcement of Govern
ment control on cotton prices might
be made today.
Price Administrator Brown said
last week that, under President
RooSevelts "hold- line order he
was preparing controls on cotton.
and the principal question of the
last few days has been the date and
form of the expected action.
Action Tonight Possible.
The OPA statement left open the
possibility of some announcement
tonight, saving If any statement is
made it will be after the close of
the market
Conferences between the OPA and
| the War Food Administration on de-
tails were understood to be holding
up the order.
On what basis ceiling prices are
likely to be fixed was not disclosed
But an OPA spokesman denied a
story printed in the Memphis Com
mercial-Appeal today and quoted by
the Associated Press to the effect
that Price Administrator Brown had
set temporary prices pending a
permanent adjustment.
At New Orleans, j. Mason Smith,
president of the New Orleans Cot
ton Exchange. said Senator Ellender,
Democrat. of Louisiana had advised
him the ceiling order probably would
be issued today.
Program Called Fantastic.
| The Associated Press said Oscar
Johnston, Scott. Miss president of
the National Cotton Council. pre-
dicted that price ceilings on cotton
would result in the closing of the
! New York and New Orleans cotton
exchanges. He added that the mer-
chants who buy and sell will prac-
ticslly be put out of business"
MI. Johnston also said. The pro-
gram is fantastic It is impossible of
enforcement 1t is. in effect. an
attempt to fix ceiling prices on more
than 900 commercially recognized
grades and staples. scattered over
several hundred locat tions and zones.
1t will demoralize cotton trading
and make it impossible for spin
ners to acquire supplies of raw cot
ton through normal channels"
A delegation of leading cotton men
met with MI. Brown yesterday and
urged him to delay the order. They
were told, according to the report
that it was too late to delay the
order placing temporary ceilings.
Senator BLENDERS telegram. sent
TO MI. Smith late yesterday. was
posted today on the New Orleans
Cotton Exchange bulletin board. 1t

Temporary order fixing raw cot
ton ceilings will probably be issued

6ood-Neieh!bor Policy
Offered by We|Ies as
Postwar World Plan
Voluntary Cooperation
Held Key to Success Of
Republics ReIotions
BY the Associat ted. Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 15.-West-
ern Hemisphere collaboration
was pictured by Undersecretary
OF State Sumner Welles today as
the solid cornerstone" for a free
postwar world.
In an address before the Rotary
Club. Mr.. Welles referred indirectly
to Prime Minister Churchill's recent
speech outlining the concept of re-
gional councils in Europe and Asia
after the war, and added:
I'VE of the Americas have already
created a regional understanding
y. There Is already a solid
corner stone laid for future world
order in this hemisphere association
ofs21 sovereign and independent
countries"
Declaring the corner stone was not
laid without difficulty, Mr.. Welles
said grave obstacles had to be over
come to win the voluntary and ef-
fective collaboration of the Western
Hemisphere nations concerned.
Obstacles Conceded.
One of these obstacles was the be-
lief IN some countries that the
United States would intervene in
their affairs whenever this suited
our convenience" There was some
reason for this belief in 1892, Mr..
Welles pointed out, for marines
still stood watch on the soil of one
of our neighbors," while in other
countries financial advisers vested
with quasi -dictatorial powers still
held sway"
In another group of countries"
he added, "a perpetual sword of
Damocles hung over the heads of
their peoples in the form of the
treaty right of the United States to
intervene in their internal affairs to
maintain order"
In the 10 years since President
Roosevelt dedicated the United
States to the policy of the good
neighbor, Mr. Welles continued,
these obstacles have been removed
for:
Every marine has been with
drawn.
All fiscal supervision in other
American countries has been elm
mated
Every treaty by which the United
States was granted the right to in
tervene in other republics of this
hemisphere, for whatever purpose,
has been abrogated"
Collaboration Is Voluntary.
Mr. Welles thus made clear that
the American idea of concert OF
nations is one in which the collabo-
ration is voluntary, the sovereignty
of each nation unquestioned and
solidarity is derived not from pres
sure by strong powers on weaker ma
tions but from recognition and OBJ
servance of rules of self-restraint
even by the strongest.
He contended the progress achieved
in Pan-American relations has
abundantly demonstrated the right
moss OF the good-neighbor policy.
Il ask you to consider for a mo-
ment," he said. the dangerous posi-
ton in which the New World would
be today had the good-neighbor pol
icy not been initiated, and had it
not been accepted by all of the
American countries as 4 basis for
cooperation between them
