Eye-Witneu
Col. Walter C. Sweeney Jr.,
of San Francisco, who led
squadron of flying fortresses in
attacks on June 3 and 4. gave
this graphic description:
"There was a big battle line,
with destroyers outside, then
cruisers, battleships and away
back the carriers which we
picked for our target.
"We picked the biggest car
rier and headed for it. .
, "The Jap ships started their
frantic escape maneuvers but
our pattern of bombs blanket
ed a carrier. We got at least
one definite hit on the port
bow of the carrier and saw
- flame and smoke of the ex
plosion." .
Meanwhile, at least 180 Jap
anese planes from carrier: at
tacked Midway with heavy de
molition bombs for 38 minutes
but did not bomb the runways,
apparently expecting to capture
the island and use it as an air
base for attacks on the Ha
waiian island 1200 miles to the
southeast
"This was the critical period
of the entire battle for our
landbased ah force," said Brig.
Gen. Willis H. Hale, commacder
of the . Hawaiian bombardment
command.
"But the enemy didn't come
back. They , were too busy pro
tecting themselves.. From then
on, the Japanese 'were with
drawing and it -was a series of
mopping operations."
i Jap Version
While Americans thrilled to
new details of the crushing
Japanese defeat with the full
story yet to be told, Japan's
version of the battle ballooned
to fantastic proportions.
Vice Admiral Ichiro Sato, a
member of the Japanese naval
general-staff, blandly asserted
that Admiral Yamamoto's fleet
had made "a decisive advance
toward absolute mastery of the
sea" by inflictine "smashing
blows" on U. S. naval forces at
Midway, and Dutch Harbor.
But the Japanese people were
not told that their fleet, bat
tered and broken, ' was limping

CROM London today we learn

signed a 20-year mutual assist

signed by Foreign Minister Molo

don. The London negotiations took
only three days, indicating that
Britain and Russia had reached
already such complete agree
ment of views as to make actual
signing of the treaty a mere
matter of form.
That is important for mutual
suspicion bad kept Britain and
Russia apart for years and prob
ably had a lot to do with making
the war inevitable.
CROM London Molotov flew to
Washington, where in a few
days more he and President
Roosevelt reached "unity of
views" on:
1. A second front in Europe.
2. Increasing and speeding up
of supplies of planes, tanks and
other kinds of war materials
from the U. S- to Russia.
'3. "Fundamental problems of
co-operation of the United States
and Russia in safe-guarding
peace and security to freedom

20-Year Treaty
LONDON, June II W)
Pledging themselves to rebuild
Europe on the terms of the
Roosevelt-Churchill Atlantic
charter, Britain and Russia have
signed a 20-year mutual assist
ance treaty "against Hitlerite
Germany," Foreign Minister An
thony Eden announced today.
The pact was signed on May
26 by Eden and Russia's foreign
commissar, Vyacheslav Molotov,
at the British foreign office, after
the Russian statesman had ar
rived in London en route to
Washington- Molotov now has
returned to Moscow.
The United States was kept
fully informed of the London
negotiations, it was said. Japan
is not mentioned in the Brlt&h
Russian treaty.
United States Ambassador
John G. Winant played an im
portant role in the negotiations,
it was disclosed. The Russians
at first asked that the treaty in
clude a guaranty of the soviet
union's western frontiers in the
Baltic region, but the American
ambassador dissuaded them from
pressing this demand, an in
formed authority said.
It was announced that Molotov
had had "most useful and satis
factory talks with the president
in Washington.
Paralleling the London treaty
talks- was a series of military
discussions in which the "urgent
need" of a second European fr6nt
was agreed upon, it was an
nounced. - -
Talk Second Front
Eden said that a "full under
standing" had been reached with
"regard to the urgent task of
creating a second front in Europe
in 1942,'.' but whether the actual
opening of such a front was
definitely decided on was not
stated.
The ; 20-year treaty, which
Foreign Commissar Vyacheslav
Molotov signed at the foreign of
fice here for Russia, provides
"for common action to preserve

peace and resist aggression In the
post-war period."
It pledges the nations "not to
enter into any negotiations"
with Hitler's government or any
German government that falls to
renounce aggression-
The United States government
was kept fully Informed of the
negotiations for the treaty It was
said.
Eden said that Molotov had
arrived in London May 21 and
the 20-year agreement was signed
five days later, Just before Molo
tov left for the United States.
Molotov agreed to the treaty
on the evening of May 25 after
three days of discussion.
The treaty was signed by Eden
and Molotov with a gold mount
ed fountain pen belonging to
Prime Minister Winston Chur
chill. Britain and Russia agreed to
render one another "nil possible
economic assistance after the
war" and to avoid participation
in any alliance directed aeainat
the other contracting power.
Molotov has "now got back to
Moscow," Eden said.
The treaty negotiations were
accompanied by a series of mil
itary discussions in which the
"urgent need" of a European
front, although not necessarily
this year, was agreed upon.
The two countries have agreed,
Eden said, that they would "work
for the organization of security
and economic . prosperity" in
Europe, taking into account the
interests of the united notions.
. Britain and Russia arj willing
"to unite with other like-minded
states in adopting proposals for
common action to preserve peace
and resist aggression," Eden
said, forecasting a post-war or
ganization similar to the League
of Nations.
Eden said the treaty would
remain in force until Russia and
Britain recognize. It has been
"superseded by adoption of pro
posals for a long-term system of
international security" but in de
fault of such proposals "it shall
remain in force for a period of
20 years and thereafter until
terminated by either of the con
tracting parties.
