some of the public spirited citizens

all corners in the ring until he
ran up against an offer for bout

fabulous seven Nessers of early

that the Nesser offer came early

Trafton explains it this way:

American Leaders Still Blinded
To Menace in the Pacific
By BENJAMIN DE CASSERES

TN ALMOST all public discussions,
L books and official pronuncia-
mentos on "The World of Tomor-
row." peace Plans, Leagues" and
so forth the emphasis is laid on
Europe.
Japan and Russian Asia are for.
gotten.
We are engaged in a desperate
war with Japan. Her ally, Russia, is
a growing power in the Pacific.
Japan is a greater menace to our
safety and well-being today than is
Europe.
But this administration is not
giving any FORETHOUGHT to
Japan.
President Roosevelt, Secretary
Hull, Winston Churchill, Gen. De
Gaulle and Marshal Stain do not
think in terms of the Pacific at any
time
We are engulfed in plans for
postwar Europe, but of postwar
Japan we hear nothing.
This mental blindness may cost
us another war.
That that is not just an idle state
ment we call attention to one of. the
most astounding true prophecies and
warnings ever made by an Amer
lean.
THE following was uttered by
l. Senator Sherman Of illinois, on
July 16, 1919, when the Chinese
province of Shantung had been de-
,livered to Japan under the terms of
the Versailles Treaty:
"This would aid Japan to become
the saber rattler of the world. 1t
would crown the prOfessed altruism
of the League of Nations with a SUI
perIatiye treachery of modern times.
1T would strengthen Japan for
the day when she might, like Ger
many, try for World empire. With
British and japanese interests in the
Orient identical, the United States
might look to the safety of the
Philippines.
I'VE may lose the Philippines.
Our greatest friend may then be the
Chinese people. whom today we are
asked to humiliate and dismember."
The loss of the Philippines and,
indeed, our war with Japan today
were thus caused by the negligence
of our government after World War
to look after the future interests Of
the United States first.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-07-29

THE United States Chamber Of
l. Commerce has announced an IL
point program of "objectlves"
which, with no revision whatever
could logically and Sensibly be the
program of any American group IN
terested in the attainment of Amer
lean prosperity.
II has nothing III II that any sin
cere and patriotic American group
representative of labor or agricul-
ture, business or industry producer
or consumer, could not endorse and
strive to realize.
It proposes, for instance, the de.
voton OF all energy to the winning
or the war al the earliest possible
moment-aS who does not?
1t advocates measures which will
enable servicemen and women TO re
enter civilian life after the war with
the fullest opportunities for profit
able employment
It urges cooperation between in
dustry and government to the end
that industry may get BACK into
useful production and that govern
ment may get OUT of the productive
fields in which free private enter
prise, initiative and opportunity are
essential for national prosperity and
happiness.
All of these are "objectives"
which might be phrased in different
words by various American groups,
but which are agreed to in principle
by all patriotic groups.
But there is one particularly vital
point in the program which needs
special emphasis.
A S THE tenth point in the pro
n gram, the Chamber of Commerce
commits itself to:
Encourage the opening up OF
nep frontiers of opportunity for the
Investment OF capital and the ex'
pansion of business activity, With
special attention to agricultural and
urban development, to transportation
and communications, and to manage
n,ent-lobor relations.
This is surely the key to FREE
economy, of the type that has given
America all its prosperity and happi
ness in the past, of the type that has
enabled America to forge the SUI
perior weapons that are winning this
war, and of the type that most of the
American people desire and rely
upon for the peaceful and produc'
tive future.
