Exchange Editor Editor Editor Editor Editor Editor WASHINGTON-Alibis cannot very well ex- plain away how both Army and Navy Intelli- gence had their guard down so carelessly when Japanese planes swooped down out of the early morning sky at Hawaii on Sunday. Their only explanation so far is that the Pacific is a very wide ocean. However, U.S. Naval Intel- ligence at least is supposed to keep a careful eye on when Japanese warships leave port and notify U.S. naval stations in the Pacific to watch out for them. In 1932, for instance, during the Japanese in- vasion of Manchuria, the Japanese fleet left mysteriously, and for several weeks the U.S. fleet wason the alert trying to figure out its destina- tion. In recent years, however, both intelligence services have been under the cdmmand of draw- ing-room experts. General Sherman Miles, in charge of Military Intelligence, is a charming gentleman who has surrounded himself with wealthy young blue-bloods. Only members of the best families can qualify for Military Intelli- gence, and how much they know about the life1 around a Japanese waterfront is questionable. Similarly, Naval Intelligence has been in charge of two delightful gentlemen, Captain Alan Kirk and now Captain Ted Wilkinson. Both have their names listed in the Social Register, the blue-bloods list of Washington's selected social- ites. Wilkinson has a large mansion across the Potomac in Virginia, and there he entertains in the very best manner, but when it came to dock- ing the U.S.S. Mississippi in New York it took him six and a half hours. Captains Kirk and Wilkinson are great assets at dinner parties, and apparently want all their young men to be likewise, for no man can get into Naval Intelligence unless both grandfathers and grandmothers were born in the U.S.A. Not even Wendell Wilkie could qualify. Obviously it is the man who can speak a few languages, is not afraid to get his hands dirty in close contact with life, and who is not too particular regarding the percentage of blue blood in his veins, who should be able to bring in shipping information. Mrs. Roosevelt And Japanese Mrs. Roosevelt is one of the most even-temper- ed, good-natured persons in the world. But no one in Washington was more irate than she when the news first broke that Japan had sprung a Hitler double-cross on Hawaii during the middle of her husband's appeal to Emperor Hirohito. On the fateful Sunday of the bombardment, Mrs. Roosevelt came into the White House while the President was talking to the Japanese Am- bassador. She said nothing at the time, but her lips tightened up into a firm straight line - sure sign that the First Lady's dander is up. Afterward, she told friends. "Imagine the nerve of that man sitting with my hisband in the White House when Japan- ese bombs were falling on our boys! And when I came up he got up and actually bowed and was full of smiles!

R.'s Address Praised For Statesmanship . S AMERICANS began the job of set- tling down to the grim fact that this Is a country at war, it seemed good to hear the %aim, clear, confident voice of our Commander- tn-chief outlining concisely, yet completely, that Which we are to do. Without pauses for rhetorical effect, without haranguting, and without hysteria, President Roosevelt set forth not only our immediate task, 3ut our eventual goals. In the midst of a sudden, unprovoked attack, it took real courage -and foresight to take the longer view, to prepare for the victory of hu- inanity at the same time that plans had to be made to fight a vicious hand-to-hand battle in the Pacific.. Yet the Presidentdid exactly that in stressing that our war with Japan is not to be one of re- venge, but rather one fought with the sense of dignity that a nation can retain only when it is fighting for an ideal, only when it is fighting in defense of something more universal than na- tional honor or national interests. THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT that as President Roosevelt delivered this most historic of fireside addresses that a million thoughts of where to move next, and how to accomplish im- mediate aims flashed through his mind. Yt with an amazing steadiness of purpose and with a complete lack of ostentation he named one by one the crimes against humanity of the international gangsters., They rolled forth one after another, but there was no screaming hbte in the voice of the man who repeated them, no half-hysterical fear that this nation would be added to the list of victims. There was rather a clarity of vision, a breadth of outlook that went beyond the words and found their expression in the hearts and minds of his listeners. President Roosevelt did not forgive those in- ternational gangsters for their crimes,- neither did he say that their guilt would bring no pun- ishment. But he did emphasize that their pun- ishment is not the primary aim of this nation in its tremendous effort. It is, instead, as he pointed out, the reestablishment of human de- Vency throughout the world, the eventual safe- guarding for all time of the security of peaceful peoples interested only in the improvement of civilization. JN THE ACCOMPLISHMENT of all this, the President stated, we nust realize that Japan is not our sole enemy, but is in fact the tool of that greater menace to freedom, Hitler Germany. We must be prepared to fight not just one treacher- ous nation, but we must fight the whole vast Axis organization, realizing that a victory for the Allies anywhere in the world is a victory for democracy and freedom. We are going to win the war and the peace as well, but as President Roosevelt declared, we must understand that we are not representing our own cause alore, but the cause of the mil- lions all over the globe who look to us for lead- ership in the restoration ofthe world to a new and greater sanity. -Hale Champion No-Appeaser Ickes The one member of the Cabinet who had a consistently 100 per cent, though sometimes un- popular, batting record regarding Japan was the toe-stepping, hit-'em-harder Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes. No one outside the Cabinet ever knew just how many tough fights Ickes had with Secretary of State' Hull over appeasing Japan. For a time it got so that Hull would not speak to him. Ickes argued way back in 1937, when Japan, first invaded China, that the United States -should cooperate with Britain in shutting off Japan's oil and the raw materials of war. And he kept plugging this theme and getting into the hair of the State Department with unremitting zeal ever since. He brought the matter up again in 1938 when the Japanese sank the U.S. gunboat Panay, ob- viously a test by the war lords to see whether the United States would take it lying down. Then, in 1940. Ickes joined with Morgentpau, Stimson and Knox in trying to persuade the President td embargo all oil, gasoline and scrap iron. Once again Secretary Hull opposed, and persuaded the President to delay the oil em- bargo until almost a year later, by which time Japan had built up a year's reserve of oil - which she has today. Meanwhile, the State Department got so sore at Ickes that they actually started a bureau of their own regarding the islands of the Carib- bean, competing with Ickes' division of Terri- tories and Insular Affairs. In fact, the State Department almost hired as chief of this division the Governor of the Virgin Islands whom Ickes had fired. Secret- South American Bases One clue as to how carefully the Japanese and Nazis prepared for the attack on the U.S. was unearthed by the Congressional Committee which investigated aviation conditions in South America. They discovered that six Messerschmidt planes recently were flown into Colombia by Japanese pilots. The planes and pilots later disappeared, but it is well known that Colombia is dotted with German "finas" or plantations, many of them not too far distant from the Panama Canal. These plantations are isolated establishments, where no outsider can ascertain, exactly what goes on. The Congressional Committee also learned that the Japanese had secretly stored 8,000 tons of dynamite at Medellin, and that other high explosives were stored by Japanese fifth col- umnists. Another, revealing clue was the report that Japanese and Nazi agents had established twelve secret air bases in the Colombian jungles in con- nection with German plantations,. War Chaff It was significant that Japanese struck first not at the Philippines, which is armed to the teeth with heavy bombers, but at Hawaii. Ha- waii had sent its best war planes on to the Phil- ippines . . . If the navy had read the newspapers it might have been better prepared last Sunday. Constantine Brown, foreign affairs expert of the Washington Star, predicted war with Japan ten days in advance and named Sunday, Dec. 7, as the starting date ...I Current sight is always easier than foresight, but looking backwards it might have been better not to have arrested all those German spies. J. Edgar Hoover was running a radio station for them, though they didn't know it, and had pos- session o the secret Nazi code. Continued pos- session of that code might have revealed the hookup between Hitler and the Japanese war lords and the plans! for attack. However, the Justice Department wanted to show that Dies was not the only one who was chasing spies and overruled Hoover's arguments for continuing to watch the spies but not arrest them ... Incidentally, both Hoover and Dies appre- hended several Japanese agents on the West Coast, together with reams of documents show- ing their espionage activities. In one case, the State Department forced Hoover to turn Japan- ese loose even though an American confederate was convicted. In the case of ]hies the State De- partment requested him not to publish his sen- sational material . - TLETTERS TO THE EDITOR Education students: Recordxer s v- fice, 1437 University Elementary School.

Mozart Symphony No. 3 (In two parts and four movements) .................. Schuman Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98 ........Brahms *' * * The Boston Orchestra played last night with all the inspiration, technique, tone and all such musical qualities that are usually demanded of a major organization and which the Bostonians usually produce during their Ann Arbor appear- ances. Dr. Koussevitzky led his musicians through the Mozart with all the finesse and delicate maneu- vering so as to leave a flawless performance in his wake. He took utmost advantage of Mozart's meager thematic devices by bringing them to a subtle balance and unity that a less skilled hand could easily depress into monotony, A feature of the evening was the performance of a new work by the contemporary American composer, William Schuman. As to its good or permanent qualities, it is difficult to say, but as a musicianly work it- is undeniably excellent. It was of particular interest to hear the modern technique of harmonic and thenatic invention applied to old forms such as the passacaglia, fugue, chorale, and toccata. Indeed, his ad- vanced harmonic and thematic style made the outlines of the forms difficult to apprehend with the exception of the fugue which seemed to ad-4 here to the customary procedure. On the whole, the work was a vast contrapuntal structure that, at the same time, indulged in some very extra- ordinary orchestration.' Yet in spite of its com- plexity, the virtuoso aspects of the orchestra gave the work a diabolical clarity. If the Work lacked appeal in its melodic phases, then it made up for this lack in its extreme range of dynamics, steady and insistent tempi' and its kaleidoscopic panorama of instrumental colors. The final symphony, the Brahms, brought a welcome relief from the strident harmonies of the work that preceded it. It is always a pleas- ure to, hear a live performance of this sym- phony. Themes and thematic manipulation, so apparent in last night's performance, are fre- quently lost even in the finest recordings. Dr. Koussevitzky gave the work a superior reading and his musicians responded with a tonal warmth and flexibility that should have moved the most unimpressive person in the audience. If any two movements could be singled out for special mention, they were the second and last.
