 To Instill Anxiety
 Whatever you are able to do to instill in Japan anxiety as to a double war may succeed in averting this danger. Nevertheless should we alone be attacked, it would be difficult to overstate the grave character of the consequences
 Five days later another message came from Churchill which said.
 Have received better news con- corning Japan. It seems Jap For eign Minister is shortly going to Moscow, Berlin and Rome for the purpose of covering the failure of action against us. The fear of the U. s. appears to have postponed attack which seemed imminent. While completely understanding your situation pending enactment of bill on which our hopes depend. The more these fears can be aroused the better"

 Other documents disclosed that the British were consulted about, and encouraged, movement of some Pacific fleet units to the Atlantic. The committee has heard conten- tions that transfer of those units made the Pacific fleet weaker than Japan's naval forces.

VET HOSPITAL funds
HELD insufficient

WASHINGTON, April 17-Vet-
erans Administration officials
(VA), today said it's hospital build
ing program could not be carried
out with the $440, 100000 on hand.
Col Frank D. Dryden, assistant
administrator in charge of construc-
ton, and Brig. Gen. H. L. Lewis,
administrative aid, said they were
optimistic that congress would
grant additional funds.
They declined to estimate how
much would be needed, but Dryden
said he had heard estimates rang
ing all the way from 25 to 100 per
cent more.
He said calculations were pre-
pared last year on rather opti-
mistic basis" and since then there
has been "a considerable rise in
costs"
Estimating that the construction
now is about 60 days behind sched-
ule, with only $50, 100000 Of it ac-
tually under way, the two officials
said they still hoped the program,
calling for approximately $4,000
additional beds, could be completed
by July 1, 1948, the original sched-
ule.
They added that they hoped to
have practically all projects ready
to start between June, 1916, and
Jan. l, 1947, with some beds avail
able as early as Jan. 1, 1913.
The program calls for IA new
hospitals and additions to 46 exist
ing ones.
