APS” ECON CALLED SHAKY

Decrees Indicate Need of Vital Raw Materials, Experts Maintain. WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 (U. P) =

Government economists doubted to-

day that Japan's economy could withstand a long war with the United States.

Information received by the Commerce Department and a series of recent Japanese Government decrees indicated that she sorely needs vital raw materials. Since , midsummer the three major sources of Japan's raw materials—the United States, the Netherlands Indies and the British Empire—have been cut off. These three countries previously supplied the bulk of Japan's requirements for scrap and other iron and steel, lead, zinc aluminum, copper, various ores, tin, machine tools, automotive products, petroleum, wool and raw cotton.

Industry Disrupted

“Cessation of trade with these countries, accordingly, has seriously disrupted industrial activity and all business transactions in the island empire,” said one of the Commerce Department's leading ex- | perts on Japan. “Japan is now primarily de-| pendent on the resources of the areas within the yen-bloe (including Manchukuo and occupied China): Prospects of early attainment of yen-bloc self-sufficiency, however— particularly in such essential items as special steels, high-speed machine tools, ball bearings, aluminum, copper and lead, among other essentials—are not bright. There are no facilities for processing raw materials even if these were readily available in large quantities.”

The blockade which America, Dutch and British naval sources undoubtedly are establishing, of[ficials said, will cut off the Japanese from Latin America, its only other raw materials source outside the Far East.

Squeeze Began July 25

Japan first began to feel the real ueeze on raw materials after President Roosevelt ordered the “freezing” of all Japanese assets in | the U. 8. July 25. British Empire areas and the Dutch East Indies] took action in sympathy with the! United States. | This resulted in a virtual suspen- | sion of all Japanese trade with these | countries, which normally account| ed for about 75 per cent of Japan's import and export business with foreign-currency countries. As far back as mid-October, Commerce Department observers in Japan reported “apparent further declines” in that country's ine dustrial production,

Transportation of supplies pres | sented serious problems because of | the increasing shortage of gasoline! and oil, the poor condition of motor vehicles, and a large number of | S61 igus train wrecks, the experts sal

SENATE CLERK HAD SIMILAR ROLE IN '17

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 (U. P).— The man who typed out the declaration of war in 1917 rushed to the White House yesterday with the congressional declaration of a state of war between the United States andf Japan. He is Garrett Whiteside, now clerk of the Senate Committee on | Enrolled Bills, As he bustled about | with the 1941 declaration, having it printed at the Government Printing Office and returning it to the Capitol for signature there, he! reminisced : | In 1917 he was call® from his| desk in the House bill clerk's office | to take dictation from Chairman | Hal Flood (D. Va) of the House! Foreign Affairs Committee. Mr. Flood réad to him, from notes, the war declaration, The British Ambassador, Cecil Spring-Rice, looked on as Mr. Flood dictated. When Mr. Flood had finished, he turned to the envoy and asked whether he thought the resolution was “all right.” In his capacity now as clerk of the Senate Committee on Enrolled Bills, it was his duty to have the resolution printed and to take them to Speaker Sam Rayburn and Vice President Henry A. Wallace for sige nature. He then delivered the resolution to the White House.

U.S. Rounding

| Times Special WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. — Uncle 3am is rounding up a herd of “mel ancholy elephants” for the army. That, if you don’t know, is what the British call the lumpy barrage balloons which are so valuable a part of London's anti-aircraft defenses. With the nation now at war, we will not only need barrage balloons for its qoastal cities; but also to guard locks in the Panama Canal, Welland Canal, Saulte Ste. Marie, for ship anchorages, vital

TINE FOR UNITY, LINDBERGH SAYS

‘Country Has Been Attacked And We Must Retaliate By Force of Arms.

OHICAGO, Dec. 9 (U, P), — Charles A. Lindbergh, isolationist spokesman, said yesterday that we must meet war with Japan “as united Americans.” “We have been stepping closer to war for many months,” the aviator said. “Now it has come and we must meet it as united Americans, regardless of our attitude in the past toward the policy our Government has followed. Whether or not that policy has been wise, our country has been attacked by force of arms, and by. force of arms we must retaliate. “Our own defenses and our own military position have already been neglected too long, We must now turn every effort: to building the greatest and most efficient Army, Navy and air force in the world.”
