The w aShington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

7 | WASHINGTON--Last week this column revealed that in 1889 Bouglas Aircraft had sold the DC-4, plus blueprints, to Japan, despite previous denials and de- ! spite the plea of Cordell Hull for a moral embargo against selling airplanes to the Japs.
 The Douglas official who handled this transaction was V. E. Ber- trandias, later promoted to be a major general in the U. s. Army despite representations by the Justice Department pointing to his past record of cooperation with the 4aps.
 . This column is now able to re- veal further evidence regarding the pre-Pearl Harbor cooperation of Douglas Aircraft and Gen. Der trandias-a letter from Bertran- dias to Mitsui & Company, ar ranging for an inspection trip by Sen. Terauchi. prominent Jap air Commander, to the Douglas plant at Santa Monica, Calf.
 This was at time when Douglas was making important military air craft for the U. s. Army. It was also two months after the war in Europe had started and when many U. S. newspapers were reporting that Japanese entry into the war was inevitable The letter follows:
 "Oct. g, 1889 "Mitsui & Company, Ltd.

 Attention: MT. s. Kohno
 Gentlemen:
 a We wish to acknowledge your letter of Oct. IT, engineering de- partment = M. Sasaoka, relative to the proposed visit of Gen. Tera- tlchi and party. Your Los Angeles office has already contacted us in regard to- this matter, and we understand that Gen. Terauchi and party will visit our factory on the morning of Oct. 30
 n"Please be assured that we shall do everything possible to make Gen. Terauchi's visit a pleasure to him. i. b Very truly yours,

 = When the commission cabled Gen. Macarthur for permission to come. he cabled back that he could f1andle the delegates only one or two at time. MacArthur said there were no accommodations for the visiting diplomats, so he wanted them in driblets.
