M UNITIO NS TO JAPAN
W ASHING TO N—The Pearl Har­
bor investigating committee has
now spent nearly three months dig­
ging into military - naval - political
reasons why we were caught asleep
on December 7, 1941 While this is
important, all the facts show that
Japan would hafe attacked anyway;
if not at Pearl Harbor, at some oth­
er place, and if not on December
7. at some other time.
Meanwhile, we have seised
various documents from the
Japs, showing that this war was
carefully built up over a period
of years and that certain Amer­
ican munitions makers were ei­
ther unsuspecting or deliberate
Jap co-partners.
II we are to prevent war in the
future—and that presumably is one
motive of the Pearl Harbor com­
mittee—the manner in which Amer­
ican business aided the Japs to pre­
pare for Pearl Harbor is important.

One thing the Pearl Harbor com­
mittee might well investigate is the
way lobbies developed in Washing­
ton to put pressure on the govern­
ment to sell war goods to Japan.
These lobbies, representing oil, gas­
oline. scrap iron, airplanes, machine
tools, made a lot of headway with
the army and navy, sometimes with
the state department.
One man they never affected
was Harold lekes. As secretary
of the interior he controls the
export of helium gas. and at
exactly the same month the
above report was written, the
Germans were trying to buy he­
lium rrom the U. S. A. for their
4 xeppelins.
The army, the navy and Secre­
tary of State Hull gave their okay.
But Ickes said no—unless Ameri­
can inspectors were stationed in
Germany to see how the helium was
used. Finally the question came up
in cabinet meeting. Secretary Hull
gave a long speech telling why it
was perfectly safe to sell helium to
Germany without inspection. As the
vote went round the table, every
cabinet member voted against
Ickes.
But Ickes still said no. Under the
law. the secretary of the Interior
has absolute control over the export
of helium.
No one can overrule
him. So finally FDR turned to Ickes
and said:
"Well, Harold, you're the boss

BYRNES-RUSSIAN PLAN
FOR WORLD ORGANIZATION
WASHINGTON - The Mast no-
tlced or discussed major news of
these days is the permanent new
world establishment organized by
Mr. Byrnes at Mos­
cow and implement­
ed at the London
UNO meeting.
Neither congress­
men nor people are
talking much about
it, although the ef­
fects upon people
everywhere will be
greater, p e rh a p s ,
and last longer than

rent strikes and de­
m o b iliz a tio n (the
two topics absorbing the popular
mind).
The unfolding facts disclose the
basic deal, which the American state
secretary made for renewed co­
operation of Russia in the world
organization, is founded upon a vali­
dation of Russian conquests in east­
ern Europe and American co-opera­
tion to secure the most valued posts
in the UNO for Russia.
Chairmanship o f the “ political
and social committee.” which
will handle such affairs through­
out the world, went to Dr. Manu-
ilaky of the Ukraine, one of the
many Soviet socialist repub­
lics (a geographical Russian
slate) which Stalin caused Mr.
Roosevelt to recognise as an in­
dependent new nation at Yalta.
“The economic and financial
committee” chairmanship went
to Kondcrski of Russian-domi­
nated Poland. (The Byrnea-Mo-
lotov candidate for president of
the assembly earlier narrowly
failed of election.)

RUSSIAN SUPPORT USED
TO GET UNO STARTED
My inquiries have developed the
following understanding of many a
Byrnes friend as to what changed
him from his adamant stand for the
Atlantic Charter, and Roosevelt
freedoms for small European na­
tions at the foreign ministers break­
up, in London last summer, to this
new policy (read no more into this,
than their statement):
The British, who are our nat­
ural world allies, being similar­
ly democratic, had proved no
more co-operative inside than
out in all postwar dealings.
Their socialist government was
rather plainly trying to move us
as Its pawn. Just as the Rus­
sians would like to use us.
Apparently Byrnes figured be
could do as well siding with the
Russians as he had been doing
while siding with the British.
As this is the formative period of
the new world, the price In prin­
ciples proved rather high. The Rus­
sian conquests have been validat­
ed in perpetuity throughout Europe,
with a corresponding decline in the
chances of any of those nations ever
getting the Atlantic Charter.
Atomic concessions were mad^ to
an extent which is not even yet
clear, although it is quite clear
the atom bomb is to be used to
guarantee this new-formed world
forever, in addition to armies and
airplanes (Byrnes speech at Lon­
don).
