THE WAR PLAN
OF JAPAN
According to a recent
Navy release, the Japanese
are known to have been
planning this war as far
back as 40 years ago.
The Japanese workers
who were imitating Amer
ican ingenuity, with their
“Made in Japan” toys,
trinkets, and imitations of
American merchandise,
were “being trained for
wartime jobs.”
We have literally, mil
lions of our own boys in
Europe, who are expecting
us to continue on the home
front, along with the mil
lions in the Pacific area, I
and to give the Japs “hell”
for what they have done to
the world.
Our boys need the stuff
marked “Made in Amer
ica” in such quantities that
they can bomb to utter
ruin, the nests of these Pa
cific “unpacific” barbar
ians.
Let’s finish off the Tok
yo tyrants.
FASCIST FRANCO
. There are two good,
simple reasons why the
people of the United States
should welcome a popular
uprising in Spain against
the government of Fran
cisco Franco. First, that
government is an outright
expression of aggressive
fascism, antithetical to
every value of our demo
cratic civilization. Second,
that government is active
ly tunneling fascism into
the Western Hemisphere,
serving as a direct ally and
agent of the beaten Nazis.
In this capacity it is a men
ace to the essential hemis
pherical security of the
United States.
In a speech delivered
some time ago on the floor
of the House, Congressman
John M. Coffee quoted a
remark once made by
Hermann Goering that
“Spain is the key of two
continents.’’ Germany seiz
ed this key. By virtue of it,
Hitler outflanked France
long before the Maginot
Line was breached. And
by virtue of it his cohorts
have been and are now in
filtrating into South Amer
ica. Our own Government
has watched this, from the'
beginning, with compla
cency if not with actual

acquiscence. We were
parties to the infamous
nonintervention agreement
which enbled Germany!
and Italy, using Franco as
their instrument, to des
troy the Spanish Republic.
If Candidate Dewey want
ed to attack Candidate
Roosevelt for failing to
prepare this country for
war, he could have select
ed no more vulnerable tar
get than our policy toward
Spain in the tragic years
of 1936 and 1937. Sumner
Welles himself called it
the cardinal blunder of
the Roosevelt Administra
tion. We saw a people’s

government attacked by
fascist dictators — and
turned our heads the oth
er way. We did not even
understand that the enemy
was waging and winning
the first battle in his war
against ourselves.
Congressman Coffee has1
introduced a resolution
singuarly undiplomatic j
and singularly sensible. It
urges upon the President
“immediately breaking all
diplomatic relations with
the Nazi-Falangist Gov
ernment of Spain” and
“the appointment of a mil
itary commission which j
will be charged with' the
task of getting arms, am
munition, and medical sup
plies” to the heroic Repub
| licans of Spain when they
strike again at the Franco
dictatorship. The people of
Spain, ignored and forsa-:
ken by the democracies in
---
their time of crisis, can
scarcely be expected to^
rise again without assur
ance of assistance and en
couragement. Our assist
ance and encouragement
are due them—to put it on
the lowest level of self
interest—(because we can
not afford to leave a breed
ing ground for fascism, a
pipeline from Barcelona to
Buenos Aires. Our assist
ance and encouragement
are due them for another
simpler reason — because
they desire, like ourselves,
to be free mn.—(Wash
