Washington, I). C. BIG DAY FOR NEWS MEN Twenty newspaper men leaned forward around the long blue baize table in the ante-room of the secre tary of state. At the extreme end stood tall, austere acting secretary, Sumner Welles. On his face was an expression of grim-lipped intensity. In his hand was a typewritten state ment. He read it aloud. It was a scathing, carefully worded blast against Japan At the opposite end of the table stood three Japanese news men, short, affable, eager. For months and years they had been attending press conferences, given the same privileges as any American news men. For months also they had waited for some such bombshell, Now it came. One split second after Welles fin- ished reading his statement, the Japanese were out the door, pat- tering down the marble corridor to the press room telephones. It was a big day for Japanese news men. Finally Ickes Wins. It was also a big day for certain members of the Roosevelt cabinet. For months and years they also had been waiting. For months and years also they had been urging Roosevelt to embargo oil shipments to Japan. At a cabinet meeting just before Japan moved, Secretary Ickes, as new oil administrator, raised the em- bargo question again He proposed to stop oil shipments to Japan. But the acting secretary of state said no. Japan, he said, was going to make a move toward Indo-China and it would be wiser to wait. Once before, Ickes had stopped a shipment of oil to Japan and aroused the wrath of the state department. Last June a Philadelphia manufac turer complained to him that a Jap anese ship was loading 240,(MX) gal lons of lubricating oil. ‘‘I can't get oil myself to speed up my own defense orders," wrote the manufacturer, "and yet I see in front of my nose this shipment of oil going to Japan. To hell with defense, if the government is as screwy as that." So Ickes called the coast guard and asked them to act before the oil was loaded. They did. Then things began to boil It did not leak out at the time, but the state department complained to the White House that Ickes' action had interfered with the policy of appeas ing Japan so she would not go south to Die Dutch East Indies However. Ickes held his ground. He insisted that he was not med dling in foreign policy, but that it was nonsense to rution oil and gas on the Atlantic seaboard and at the same time let Japan ship oil away from the Atlantic seaboard. In the end Ickes won. ( I HSING PAX AMA TO J XI’AN Secretary Stimson was telling the isolutc truth when he denied that io discovery of u time-bomb was ■sponsible for keeping 10 Japanese lips out of the Panama canal For lis was not the reason. Real reason why the canal yvas irred tn the Japanese was the dis- »very that two of their ships were >ating bazars being rushed to the ist coast of South America to grab T the trade which Axis operators ere forced to abandon as a res ult ' the U S. blacklist. a to with elalMirate merci day,. and carrying h red. anis mg an the i s w< ra I arsei •«»nori war ure W i th th pan Wd ild h c in aliv. marl s in I st ire < thcr ! U mid THE PAPERS OF PRIVATE PLKKEY Dear Oscar: I have not slept hardly a wink since reading about American forces being in Iceland and I wish you would not say like you did in your last letter that the boys sent there are lucky because it is so hot in American draft camps in summer. I would not like it if you were In Iceland of all places and how can you say Iceland is not so bad when all you know is what you have seen in the travelogues at the movie houses. • • • It is all very well to say that the climate is not so terrible and that it is not at all like the North Pole but when you are in the Arctic zone you are in the Arctic zone and your father says that Iceland is aw ful and is the place where Peary and Dr. Cook had all that trouble and where Admiral Byrd is always getting stuck in the ice floes. Our groceryman who used to be a sailor says your father is wrong and has got his geography all mixed up. He says he was in Iceland and that he has seen it a lot colder in this country but if it is so good why did he only make short stops there?

This time of year it has ers and farm crops and even waves and before Americans been there much it will have America contests. • • • Even should I ever get sent there I have just read that its principal export is half been telling me was good for me all my life. The camp atlas says its best crop is potatoes witch is alone enough to keep me from want ing to go there. I never seen so many potatoes since I got into the army and I have personally peeled all but two or three quarts of 'em. 1 wood want no part in saving any country which had more of them. so do ’ WANTED 2000 HOP PICKERS I looked it up in a book at the free public library which was quite a job as every book on Iceland was either out or was being read in the reference room and I had to wait all day in line with a lot of America mothers who are as wor ried as I am about the place. • • • It is even farther away than I sus pected. I never paid much atten tion to Iceland but I always had an idea it was just of! the North Amer ican coast near Labrador. Why, Oscar, it is even farther away than Greenland which is so far away it is not on any map we ever had in our house. The atlas says it is a volcanic platoo covered by glaciers in the northern part and pastures and meadows in the south but it would be just your luck to get sent to the northern part and it must be terrible to be where there are vol- canoes and glaciers all mixed in together. You would never know what underwear to put on. • • • Your father and I hope you stay right where you are so please do not talk about wanting to go to Ice land any more. I am sending you the things you asked for and will write more soon. Willi all my love, Mother. Port land. Ore. Lady—Will my false teeth look natural?
