lie, short-lived plot to forestall
his surrender announce m Q n t..
now is more secure than ever on
his imperial throne, 1t. Gen.
Iimura, commander of Japan's
still-active gendarmerie, told me
today.
Iimura's organization, which
still maintains q tight check
throughout the country on indi-
viduals as we'll as groups, has
found no hint Of any fresh plot
ting against the Emperor's con-
tinued rule, the gendarmerie
commander reported.
Other sources likewise agreed
that Emperor Hirohito now is
stronger in Japanese public opin-
ion than at any other time in the
modern era, as the result of his
leadership in his nations surren-
der.
These sources said that Com
munists and some other radical
elements in the early 1920s had
advocated elimination of the
japanese Imperial House, re-
garding it as a barrier to the
introduction of Communism.
These elements, however, were
ruthlessly quoted at the time by
the gendarmerie.
Well-informed Japanese said
there has been no evidence that
such radical elements have re-
gained sufficient power even to
discuss renewal of such activi-
ties.
Similarly, any militarists who
might have intended to force
out the Emperor as a result of
his victory over them in forcing
a surrender, now lack sufficient
strength, these sources explain

R- DR.. Werner Best, Hitler's

declaring war on the United
States.
Interviewed yesterday for the
first time in Kastellet Prison,
where he has been held since
he was brought in from Ger
many July 30, Best said Ger
many declared war on the Unit
ed States because America was
delivering war goods to Eng

simply should have bought the
same goods herself.
The small, grazing. over-po-
lite former Nazi minister, who
still sees himself as the saviour
OF Denmark, denied any COM
plicity in war crimes, and said
he wanted to be tried in Den
mark, IF that is where they
think I did wrong"
Best declared he had had no
part in the killing of Danes or
sending them to concentration
camps.
He blamed the terrorism in
Denmark on the police presi-
dent and the Gestapo chief, both
Of whom have admitted murder
ing Danes. Best said he had pro-
tested several times against Ges-
tapo acts, but since he was a
government and not an army
officer, he had no power to stop
them.

statement which pointed out that
to hold the conference in Sar

In this statement the provisional
Polish government also expressed
hope that representatives of the
Polish people in the person of the
provisional government will partici-
pate in the conference and that
democratic Poland will occupy a
place in the family of the United
Nations.
According to authoritative infor-
nation, the Soviet government pre-

Text of Soviet Statement

government in Warsaw should be in
vited to the San Francisco Con-
ference as the existing power on all
territory of Poland and one which
enjoys the support of the Polish
people.
In this statement the Soviet gov
ernment pointed out the absence oi
Polish representatives at this broad
international conference would be
impossible to explain by such excuse
as the absence of diplomatic rela-
tions between the governments oi
the U. S. A. and Britain on one
hand and the provisional govern
ment of Poland on the other be-
cause the Soviet government also
had no diplomatic relations with
such countries as India, Haiti
Liberia or Paraguay, but it (the
Soviet government) went half way
to meeting Britain and the United
States and agreed on the above
mentioned countries participating
in the San Francisco conference.
The Soviet government proposed
a discussion of the given question
between the Allied governments and
adopted corresponding decision.
At the present time the Soviet
government has informed the Gov
ernment of the U. S. A. that 1t ex-
poets an early answer to the pro-
posal made about inviting Poland
to the conference
The Soviet government also in
formed the governments of Britain
and China that it fully supports
the statement of the Polish provi-
sional government and trusts that
Poland will be given the possibility
of participating in the San Fran

coal.
While extension of the con-
tract would make Government
seizure of mines unnecessary, there
was fear in some official quar-
ters of sporadic wildcat" strikes
as a result of the overwhelm-
ing strike vote of the UNIV
on Wednesday. The effect of the
vote probably would not be felt until
Tuesday, since tomorrow is the an
niversary of the 8-hour day in the
mines, traditional holiday, which
will be celebrated on Monday.
WLB was expected to allow some
time for continuance of free bar
gaining on new contract if the
miners and operators feel there is
a possibility of agreement before
calling for public hearings of Their
differences.
Failure Of Secretary Perkins eff
forts to bring about agreement be-
tween the parties automatically re-
stores as issues in negotiations ali
of the demands, including the
10-centS-a-ton royalty which Mr.
Lewis had agreed to drop under
her proposal.
AT the conclusion of yesterdays
wage conference session there was
no indication that agreement was
any nearer. Another meeting of ne
gotiators was set for Monday, but

Mr.. Lewis said this offer had been
f1atly rejected by the miners and "ne
longer had any standing in our Joint
conference or bearing on the neeo-
tiations."
"Now they have the supreme
effrontery to come before this
board" said Mr.. Lewis in reference
to the operators early offer, and say
Yes, we will work the mines. hui
we II work them on our own terms
Mr.. Lewis said that in setting ur
the surety fund, arrangements could
be made SO that money would be
refunded if the total of wage in
creases agreed to later came to less
than SIS, 100000.
will the Government and the
operators do as they did in 1943 ano
repudiate their promise of back
pay?" Mr.. Lewis asked. What as.
surance do the mine workers have
that they will receive the pay? The
operators delay, hoping they car
perpetuate on the mine workers the
same financial abortion they per-
petuated in 1943."
Mr.. Lewis argued that the Gov
ernment, in conducting the strike
vote under the Smith -Connally Act
last Wednesday, in which the
miners voted overwhelmingly to
strike, was dealing directly with the
men in the mines and indicated the
question of work stoppage after
April "has been taken out of the
hands OF the officers of the United
Mine Workers
what right has the officers of
the United Mine Workers to inter-
iere with this vote of 10000 men?'
he asked.
The mine leader said later. how
ever, that the mine workers do not
want to inconvenience the public or
impair the war effort" by a work
stoppage. He added that the Gov
ernment had "disarmed' the work.
ers by passage of the Smith Con-
nally Act and that I'VE say that q
Government that disarms its work
ers should afford to those workers
protection"
Mr.. O'Neill told the board that II
"a fixed termination date for retro
active pay is not set many of the
mines, because of the effect of the
United Mine Workers demands, will

the mines now were being operated
on profit margin OF only Z to Z
cents a ton and that the proposal
of Miss Perkins for settlement woulo
