ROOSEVELT
FROM PAGE ONE

All that was established, as the
committee resumed open hearings
after recess of almost two
months, was that the late war
president, convinced that war was
very near, did not talk by tele-
phone nor confer at the White
House with the Army and Navy
chieftains on the night before the
Japanese air raid.
Mr.. Roosevelt's planned war
warning, not heretofore disclosed,
was included in a brace of docu-
ments introduced Tuesday.
Counsel explained that they were
being released now because British
permission had been received.
The documents came f m
Roosevelt's personal files. Ironic-
ally, their covering letter was
dated Dec 7, 1941, although the
papers themselves bore no date,
and this was the subject of much
committee argument.
In substance, the paper brought
to the Presidents desk-presum-
ably a few hours before Japan's
bombers attacked Pearl Harbor-
sought Mr.. Roosevelt's opinion on
British declaration to Japan. 1t
was that Britain would take posi-,
tive action should Japan threaten
the independence of Thailand. 1t
warned Japan that should that
nation by force or threat attempt
to influence Thailand, she would
do SO Eat her own peril' and that
Britain will at once take all ap-
propriate measures.
SHOULD hostilities unfortunately
result" added the proposed warn
in, which no record shows ever
was sent, "the responsibility will
rest with Japan"
But Australia held back on de-
livery of the warning. Her minis
ter of external affairs advised Bri-
tain she could concur only if Mr..
Roosevelt approved the British
draft.

the Communists and all other par
ties must devote themselves sole

In Good Faith
Speaking of China's relations
with Russia, Chang said emma
signed the Chinese-Russian treaty
last year in good faith and ex-
poets to observe its provisions
scrupulously. Regarding the Yalta
agreement, he said China had not
seen the text until it was released
by the State Department recently,
At the time the Chinese--Russla
treaty was negotiated, Chang dis
closed, China knew only the gen
eral sense of the Yalta agreement,
under which President Roosevelt
agreed to persuade China to grant
Russia widespread concessions in
Manchuria and agree to recognize
the independence of Soviet Outer
Mongolia. Ambassador Patrick N.
Hurley came to China shortly after
President Roosevelt's death and
informed China in a general way
what had been decided upon at
Yalta with regard to Manchuria.
Read Speech
Chang said he had read with
great interest reports of Winston
Churchill's Fulton, Mo. speech.
However, ne favors the idea that
we must depend on the United Ma
tons, in which the United States
exercises vigorous leadership.
As long as the United States
maintains its present firm and ada
mant support of the United Ma
tons, the outlook for peace is ex-
cellent, Chang believes. In his
view, American foreign policy at
present leaves little to be desired
Regarding the present situation
in China, the Generalissimo said
that despite widespread imitation,
economic disorganization and some
degree of social unrest because of
the cost of living, he is not pessi-
mistic about the future.

Surely the great Jenny wouldn't
put up at the Farmers house or
the Mechanics hotel. A famous
singer of sweet songs would be
completely out of place in eitheC

Can you picture Jenny sitting in

surrounded by hayseed and denim
and singing '"The Farmer in the

surrounded by axle grease and
monkey wrenches and chanting
who Threw the Chainfall in Mrs.

EYE ON ASYLUM-Similarly,
we can't envision her in the Sea-
mems home singing "Yo-ho-ho
and a Bottle of Rum" or in the
Railroad hotel shouting "I've Been
Working on the Railroad with her
arms flung across the shoulders of
burly ACL brakemen.
On the other hand, we can pic

the City hotel humming I'm just
Little Girl in the Big City, but
aren't I Pretty?"
Best of all, we can picture her
in Bailey's Star hotel-for the OBJ
vious reason that she, too, was a

Still, we can't be sure of any of
them. For all we know, she might
have slept in the ACL waiting-roo.n
