My own opinion has been that since the problem of reemploy ment was largely national the service should remain national for a year or so until the readjust ment was more nearly completed. This should expedite the reloca tion of workers in jobs, which is a compromise from their 20 cent and $1.10 minimum demands, On the other side of the fence, J. B.

'"I don't say everything they were fighting for but everything they ostensibly were fighting for," he emphasized. - Grew depicted Japan of late 1941 as under control of a mili tary government which had pre pared it militarily and psycholog ically for war and was unwilling to. listen to reason. , " . It was much "the same view the Pearl Harbor committee had. re ceived earlier from former Secre tary of State Hull who summed up by saying "the trouble" was that Japan was "hell bent" on conquest. ; v .5 Grew took a stand alongside Hull, too, in contending that the American proposals of Nov. J6, 1941, rhich the Japanese later called an "ultimatum,"-were no thing of the kind. Furthermore, he denied that he had ever said, as an army In quiry board quoted him, that the Nov. 20 note "touched the button that started the war." Japan's ' leaders, with their controlled press and easily mold ed public opinion, could have ac cepted s the American position, Grew 'declared, and turned lt Into fgreat diplomatic victory! for home consumption If Ihey had wanted peace.
