 of criticism until he returned to Washington, fol- lowing which he changed his tune
 Back in Washington Grew seemed to think that Japanese-American relations had been handled about as well possible before Pearl Harbor and he be- came ardent Roosevelt rooter, so much so that FDR appointed him Under-Secretary of State.
 The Grew diary would also show that he had considered Emperor Hirohito harmless and inno- cent little man whom it did not hurt to appeaSe. Some people would get the idea from reading Crews diary that he himself emperor -worshipper, though actually he believed that the institution of emperor should be preserved to win over the Japanese people. This was. why he went to the unusual length of writing directive suppressng EGG intercepts of Jap broadcasts regarding the Emperor
 During most of Crews term in Tokyo he fol- lowed the Wall Street-Thomas Lamont line of letting the Japs have their heads. The diary shows that he was much opposed to Roosevelt's quarantine speech proposing boycott against aggressor nations and that he favored the continuation of oil and scrap iron shipments to Japan policy of ap- basement.
 Note-At time Golfers planned to write a series of articles based on the Grew diary but he would not permit publication of the more intimate portions and the deal blew up. Cordell Hull was highly ncensed that outsiders had been permitted to see these sections.

MANUFACTURERS NOT ANGELS
(New Britain Herald)


 If you try hard enough you can pick flaws in almost everything including the position of the manu- facturers in the labor management tangle.
 The manufacturers are not angels; some of them can't qualify to be choir boys any more than some Of their opponents labor.
 Regardless of the pros and chs, the main issue involves almost ex- clusively the general public welfare. The public is crying aloud for scarce goods. And this public, which includes factory workers not on strike, look with disdain upon what's going on.
 But there is hope in one sector: The contending economic forces GM and the CIO = are to discuss their contentious once more.
 It is being said that a way may be found to permit the monster concern to charge more for its pro ducts in conformity with the wage increases. Yet remember when, in Washington, it was being said that wages could go up but not prices?
 In the end the public will pay for everything = the same public which is being told to guard against inf1ationary tendencies.
 Oh yes, a part of the public has the money to pay higher and ever higher prices, perhaps outlandish prices. But for how long? They had the money in the 20's too. But the boom brought on the bust and with it what we never again want in the future.

CHRISTMAS TREES
(Boston Post)

It required truck-trailer to carry out of the Adirondack Mountains the 62-foot Christmas tree which New York will place in front of its City Hall this year. The huge Nor way spruce was carefully chosen and deftly felled. When it was brought over miles of highways every precaution was taken to guard it from injury.
 The erection of the tree will mean an expenditure of a lot of money yet, on this first postwar Christmas there will be few to criticise the in- vestment of that money. A joyous Christmas will mean much to the morale of America.

 Shortages began to get acute after the first year, Medicine food supplies of all sorts began to ap- proach zero Part of the reason was because the Germans stripping the nation. The rest was be- cause France couldn't import anything.
 Finally the Germans were taking 80 per cent of the food and admitted much. Their official ex- panation was. Germany would have won the war in 1918 but for the fact that her home front was starved into collapse by the Allied blockade We are going to give you exactly for rations what the German home front had in l918-minus 20 per cent"
 The French couldn't see the reason for the minus 20 per cent and charged the Germans with taking full 80 per cent.

My informant says the black mar ket was a German invention de- liberately used and not the product of the renegade, or even the desperate, French.

Say French In Germ a nv Raped Women
'Rumors Are Persistent in Industrial City of
 Stuttgart

STUTTGART, Germany, Aug. 10 With the Americans in control, everything is outwardly quiet in this once-famous industrial city, but a welter of rumors arising out of German charges that more than 1000 women were raped during the first few days of French occu- patton in April still is growing.
 Since the Americans took over the city July 13, not a single au- thenticated rape case has been re- ported Arnulf Klett, burgomaster, said he had heard of one case, but that he did not believe the girls story.
 A lieutenant colonel who heads the Tooth Divisions intelligence branch said, we have had no trouble with the civilian popula- tion."
 Stories on just what did occur during the first two or three days of the French occupation conflict. One American officer who was here at the time termed the be- havior of French Moroccan troops a disgrace; another American challenged the German version as an "exaggeration."
 In view of the row over the sit- uation-especially since the asser- tion of Sen. Eastland (D-Miss.) in congress that 5000 Stuttgart wo- men and girls were held in sub way and raped-U. s. Army men here are reluctant to comment of ficially.
 : There is no subway in Stuttgart, but there is huge tunnel known as the Wagenburg. It was designed to run clear across the city, but never was completed.
 The German police chief, Karl | Weber, said most of the women were attacked in their homes by turbaned Moroccan troops who broke down the doors in footing forays.

Senator from Washington io Take Matter Up
 with Truman

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 - Plans for the Alaska Highway top an agenda which Senator Magnuson D-Wash) expects to discuss with President Truman.
 Magnuson told reporter he hoped the President would ask the Canadian Government to name a representative who could meet 8 representative of the United States and settle the mechanics of a road building agreement.
 That" he said, would be the simplest way to get the project under way"
 Maghuson also intends to dis cuss the tariff on lumber and mining products, asserting he is interested in maintaining a bal anced" trade with Canada.
 He contends it is unfair to the Northwest to permit Canadian lumber and other raw materials to enter duty-free and compete with Northwest industry while eastern manufactured articles are allowed to enter Canada without payment of a tariff. Such an arrangement, he declared, puts too heavy a burden on the raw materials pro- duced in the Northwest"
 Magnuson also plans to discuss with the President the establish ment of Veterans Hospital at Seattle and to talk over forth coming appointment to the Mari time Commission.
 The policies of the Maritime Commission, he said, will be vital to the Northwest in the postwar era"
