Last January, Former
German Envoy Says
BY the Assoc ated Press.

BY the Assoc dted Press.
WITH UNITED STATES sd
ARMY IN GERMANY, Aug. A.
Herbert Won Dircksen, former Ger
man Ambassador to Tokyo and Lon
don, said yesterday the German gov
ernment was advised last January
that Japan was forming a new gov
ernment, with Baron Kantaro Suzu-
XII as Premier, to try to come to an
understanding with the United
States and Great Britain
(Suzuki took office as Premier
last April ~
Won Dircksen, now under house
arrest, expressed surprise at Suzu-
ki's rejection Of the recent Amer
ican- British Chinese surrender ul-
timatum and said the Japanese Pre-
mier now has become the puppet OF
japanese militarists against his
own will"
Fight to Finish Seen.
The diplomat said he was con-
vinced that the chances Of uncondi-
tional surrender without a fight to
the finish now were all but lost
Prompt refusal of your surrender
terms-I wish your Government had
seen fit to explain unconditional
surrender to us-make 1t obvious
that the militaristic CLIQUE will carry
Japan to the same senseless self
destruction that Germany suffered
at the hands of the Nazis," he said.
Won Dircksen, a 63-year-old career
diplomat, who was Ambassador to
Tokyo from 1898 to 1888 and to Lon
don from the spring of 1888 until
the outbreak of the war. said he
learned through "semioficial chan
nels" of Japans plan to attempt an
understanding with the Western
Allies.
Danger of Assassination.
There was understood to be great
danger of Suzuki's assassination
when his plans should become
known to the Japanese general
staff" he said.
The diplomat added that it was
understood in Berlin that Suzuki
was backed by Tsuneo Matsudaira, a
minister of the Japanese imperial
house, who is considered to be a
powerful behind-the-scenes influ-
ence on Emperor Hirohito.
Matsudaira formerly was Japanese
Ambassador to London and WASH
ington. Won Dircksen described him
as "pro-English and pro-American. "
Won Dircksen is living in a lake
side cottage in Southern Bavaria.

.gaging in the dissemination OF
.NaAism or militarism," said the

About third of the reopened
churches are in the American zone

Purchasing Agents Report
Slight Rise in Business
" the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-The Ma
tional Association of purchasing
agents today described general bust
ness as slightly better than a month
ago, but said strong inflationary
pressure on prices reflected the in
creasing costs of labor and ma
terials.
The association reported in its
monthly business survey that in
dustrial production showed a severe
drop from 1914 wartime peaks, but
was high when measured by former
peacetime standards and should in
crease if current labor and materials
limitations can be removed.
| Asserting that demand for mate
rails and products by manufacturers
and distributors was almost unlim-
tied, while supplies were restricted
by labor shortages and strikes, the
report added.
These unstable conditions, if
continued, could rapidly change the
outlook, because the purchasing
power built during war years and
banked on to keep postwar pro-
duction at a high rate, can be dis
sipated rapidly"
Commodity prices, it asserted,
were firm with a strong upward
pressure land many report slight
advances"

RELIGION AND THE
ARMED FORCES
Readers Adviser in Relision,


The testimony of the power oil
religion in individual lives under
stress of war has been given in a
number of books published in recent
years. Those written by chaplains
are accounts of experiences which
they shared with fighting men on
many fronts and at sea. They re-
veal not only the human under
standing and spiritual guidance of
these leaders, but also the courage
and faith of the men of whom they
write. Two of these books are
Action This Day" by Archbishop
Francis j. Spellman, a series OF
letters written during his tour in
the Near East and Africa in 1913
and H. M. Forgy's %. And Pass
the Ammunition" an account OF
life aboard the heroic cruiser New
Orleans.
They Found the Church There
by H. P. Van Dusen, tells eyewit-
ness stories of the armed forces
contacts with the native peoples Of
the Pacific islands, who but fol-
Christian missions would have
proved savage enemies indeed.
