|As Relief 10 Roosevelt,
Hopkins Papers Show
BY fhe Assoeiatsd Press

Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor
actually was a great relief" for
President Roosevelt, the late Harry
Hopkins wrote in his secret papers.
For he saw it taking the Nation
off a hot spot, Robert Sherwood,
friend of the late President and
Mr.. Hopkins biographer. explained.
Mr.. Roosevelt had feared the
Japanese would conquer and exploit
an empire" avoiding conflict with
the United States and forcing us to
put up or forever shut up" he said.
Dilemma Is Pictured.
Mr.. Sherwood, writing in Golfers
Magazine. pictures "Roosevelt's d.
lemma' this way:
/. Mr.. Roosevelt believed the Jap
anese were about to strike at British
or Dutch possessions and sweep on
ward without attacking the United
States, and even if the United States
went to war to stop it, she probably
would do so half-heartedly, after
long delay.
2. If this aggression did not pro-
woke us into war. as seemed likely,
what would be the effect on the
British, Russian, Chinese-or the
Axis.
Forced to "Put Up or Shut Up"
"The plain fact was that the
moment was imminent when the
United States would be forced at
gun point either to put up or forever
shut up" Mr.. Sherwood wrote and
went on:
There was just one thing that
the japanese could do to get Roose-
velt completely off the horns OF
the dilemma, and that is precisely
what they did, at one stroke, in a
manner so challenging, so insulting
and enraging, that the divided and
confused American people were in
stantly rendered unanimous and
certain.
Thus Hopkins wrote later of the
Presidents great relief at the method
the japanese used in starting the
war at Pearl Harbor.'
