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.

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?

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.

not talk about wanting to go to Ice
