WASHlNGTON-Out of a fox
hole on Guadalcanal has come
the first detailed Japanese &C
count of the treacherous back
ground TO the attack on Pearl
Harbor.
1t is a story of 90 years pat
lent, vengeful planning. And 1t
can be told because souvenir
hunting American soldier, dur
ing a hull in the jungle fighting,
stopped to pick up dirty, dog
cared magazine that lay beside
a dead Jap in the foxhole.
Nobody in the soldiers outfit
could read the magazine or the
pcnciled Japanese scrawl on the
cover. But the souvenir was
preserved and finally came into
the hands of a Japanese-lang-
uage scholar in Washington who
translated it.
The magazine turned out to be
the victory edition Of a popu-
lar periodical called Hinode
(SunriSe,) dated February, 1912
Most of the contents was legen-
diary fiction dealing with Jap
heroes of the past But there al
so were two official articles
which provided the day of in
fanny with its equally infamous
background. One was signed by
Admiral Sankichi Takahashi,
former commander in chief of

when the Limitation Of Naval
Armaments Conference fixed
Japan'S capital ship tonnage on
the short end of the famous
5-5-3 ratio. The red-faced Jap

the conference table convinced
that this ratio could be inter
preted only as stigma Of ma

abiding hatred of Britain and
the United States was born.
Slowly and perSistently the plot
was put together, like a gigantic
Oriental jigsaw puzzle. ThouS-
andS Of persons contributed the
individual pieces. But only a
few key navy men knew, as
they fitted these pieces together,
the final picture of blood and
flame that the pattern would
form.
The details had been mapped
out with as much sagacity and
secrecy as the AZ ronin (outcast
samuraD had employed in
avenging the death of their lord,
Takuminokami Asano," Taxa

And the plotters kept their Sc

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .

Politically you might think
that the chances for any general
national service legislation be-
ing passed before the elections
would be nil. On the other
hand, there is some opinion that
when the invasion of Europe be-
gins and the casualty lists pile
up, the country and Congress
will be thoroughly alarmed and
will pass national service leg
islation in a hurry, ignoring po-
litical considerations.
This last argument may be
in the nature of trying to per-
suade Congress 10 take action
Immediately. But the reluctance
of Congress to rush through any
national service legislation now
is perfectly understandable, for
there is perhaps less agreement
on this subject than on any is
sue in Washington.
WHY ALL THE HUBBUB?
The bitterness of the fight
over men OF 26 and under who
have been deferred because
they are in essential industries
would seem TO be all out of pro-
portion TO the number of men
involved. There are less than a
million such men, 100000 on
farms, 100000 in industry. If
Selectlve Service averages on
reflections would apply, over a
third would be found unfit FOR
military service.
Employers are still too prone
to hoard physically acceptable
men, industrialists are wanting
TO keep their young technicians,
farmers are wanting every man
they can get.
Yet if the armed forces say
they need these men for active
service, who can dispute 1t?
This comes first. 1t should be
made clear, however. that these
men are needed as requirements
and not as additional manpoWer
requirements. The goals of T.
100000 men for the Army and
100000 for the Navy, set for
attainment by July !, still stand.
The Army program is under
stood TO be up TO or ahead OF
schedule. The Navy program
Lays -a-little, partly because
ships have been built and put
in service faster and in greater
numbers than had been believed
possible. Quotas Of men being
asked for by the services now
are to replace battle casualties
and men discharged from active
service for other reasons. Even
after the 1890, 000-man goal
is reached, requirements will
still be necessary.

THE MANPOWER SUPPLY
is ADEQUATE

On the home front, the war
production front, goals have all
been met. Even farm goals. In
munitions industries, over 200,-
600 men have already been laid
off. There are only four tight in
dustries insofar as manpoWer
requirements are concerned
coal mining, logging, numbering
and railroading. Nationally, the
supply of manpower is ade-
quate, though in specific local.
ties and individual factories or
industries the supply may be
short.
Moving the surplus men and
women to the shortage areas
takes managing, but to say that
this country of 1875 100000 peo-
pie faces a manpoWer crisis with
a breakdown of the civilian
services is much like the other
attempts to make crises out of
the draft of pre-Pearl Harbor
fathers or Of l8-year-olds.
In achieving this management
of manpower, War Manpower

who is at the center of all these
crises, takes a good bit of kick
ing around. So much so that one
wag the other day nominated
the governor for the order OF
