American Red Cross workers

Mrs. Roosevelt to continue In peace

the civilian.
Your job will 60 on as a tie with
millions of people," she said.
You'll build up . depth of under
standing valuable to your company

you work"
The Red Cross workers can also
do much to build up courage on both
sides of the water, Mrs. Roosevelt
said. Civilians as we'll as soldiers
need sympathy and encouragement
to help them sustain the spiritual
any physical strain of the war, she
said. Red Cross workers can have
a powerful influence for good, she
concluded. The class was the Hath

BRUSSELS, Nov. 18.--Possible
grounds for q compromise between
Belgian resistance organizations and
the Pierlot government In their dis
pute over disarming Of the resist
ance forces were presented today in
orders issued by both sides.
The government, instead of pro-
hibiting public assemblies through
out the country as had been indi-
Gated previously, forbade displays Of
arms at such meetings and reminded
demonstrators they must stay out
side restricted zones as fixed by
town and local officials
From the other side, the National
Union of Resistance Groups orders
its members to deliver their weapons
to their superior officers to be handed
over later to Allied military au-
thorities."
Since some resistance elements
had demanded that they retain
arms until all collaboration suspects
had been jailed, the National
Unions decision represents a con-
siderable move in the direction Of
conciliation.
Premier Pierlot had set midnight
tonight as the deadline. for the
patriot forces to turn In their arms
and he warned that If the govern
ment encounters any major DIM
Guilty in enforcing the order Allied
military forces would take over.
The Socialist party has scheduled
a rally to protest the order for

In Liege yesterday 5000 persons
demonstrated against the order and

Grew Seen as Choice
For Political Adviser
To Pacific Command
By GARNETT D. HoRNER.


Appointment Of q political adviser
to the American high command in
the Pacific to aid in planning the
occupation of Japan and in dealing
with expected soft peace" feelers
from the Japanese Is reported under
consideration by the State Depart
ment
Speculation that such an appoint
ment may be imminent was stirred
yesterday by the return of Joseph G.
Grew, director Of the State Depart
ment's Far Eastern affairs Office
and the last American Ambassador
to Japan from series Of secret
conferences with naval and military
leaders at Pearl Harbor.
Mr.. Grew told reporters he was
not prepared to discuss the question
at this time, but commented that
Cooperation and coordination" be-
tween the State Department and
military commanders is always
helpful"
Some sources pointed out that as
signment of an adviser of Mr..
Crews caliber to the Pacific COM
mand would be a logical develop
ment as the war with Japan pro-
crosses to the point where far
reaching political decisions may
have to be made quickly.
The State Department already
has career Foreign Service officers
on the staffs of Allied command
ers in the European and Mediter-
ranean theaters.
Mr.. Grew refused to discuss de-
tails of his mission, remarking only
that he had IAN intensely interest
ing" visit with Admiral Chester w.
Nimitz, commander in chief of the
Pacific fleet, and other naval and
military commanders, during which
he learned great deal about the
Pacific wal"
Insisting upon unconditional sur
render as the only way to deal with

OF the "bait" of compromise peace
would mean lighting this war over
