Show PAGB : SIX PROVO (UTAH) SUNDAY HERALD, v; SUNDAY; JUNE 15, 1941 filerry-Go-Round (Oontlmwl hi Ou) Japan invaded China, it was clear that Japan was bent upon domination dom-ination of the Orient and that the United States ' might some day have to - f ace . her. Also, it was quite clear that it was better, bet-ter, for the United States to face one country in the Pacific rather than two countries In both the Pacific and Atlantic simultaneously. simultan-eously. So a plan was devised to starve out the Japanese military machine by cutting off cotton, copper, scrap iron and especially oil, simultaneously si-multaneously mobilizing the peace machinery of the nine power pact and the League of Nations. All-important actor in (this plan was stationing the British fleet at Singapore and the U. S. fleet' along the California coast to shut off imports it being clear that the Japanese fleet, because of tremendous distances, could not cross the Pacific either to Singapore or California without being short of fuel oil and at a serious disadvantage. President Roosevelt even sent Ambassador Norman Davis to the Brussels conference to whip up this plan, and told him to go the limit. But the state department rewrote his speeches and sabotaged sabo-taged every move he made.. Roosevelt was off the Mexican coast fishing. The strategy was a complete bust. - OIL. FOR JAPAN'S NAVY One year later, 1938, the navy wanted to revive the plan when Japan purposely sank the U. S. gunboat Panay in the Yangtze river. But cautious Cordell Hull and career boys said no. Two years later, the Knox-Stimson Knox-Stimson - Morgent'hau - Ickea faction fac-tion inside the cffftinet persuaded Roosevelt to O. K. two executive orders embargoing all oil and all scrap iron to Japan. But when the state department heard about it, Hull and the career boys threw up their hands in horror, persuaded per-suaded Roosevelt to change his order .bar only No. 1 scrap and high-test gasoline. After weeks of haggling Roosevelt Roose-velt finally extended the order to all grades , of scrap, but fuel oil for the Japanese "navy, plus ordinary or-dinary gasoline, plus a lot Of smuggled high test gasoline for Japanese bombers, still leaves for Japan largely with state department depart-ment blessing. So, taking its lesson from France the United States waited. And today, the United States faces in the Far East the same results as France. The element of distance in blockading t'he Japanese Japan-ese has- vanished; Japan now holds powerful French Indo-Chinese Indo-Chinese naval bases, now is one day's steaming distance from the Dutch ast Indies. Also British support is gone. Desperately pushed in Europe, they have no ships to speak of at Singapore. Also the support of Russia is gone. That country, once willing to cooperate with 50 submarines operating from Vladivostok, now is in the Axis pocket. Finally, the embargo situation is completely reversed- Instead of the United States cutting off Japan's iron, oil, copper,, cotton, Japan . now is demanding an - of the Dutch East Indies' tin and rubber without which American industry is almost paralyzed. So while the United States waited, the shoe was put on the other foot. " FINAL FRENCH LESSON J Being a devoted frienu" of France, the United States now is adopting a French lesson even in even in dealing with France herself; her-self; also with her neighbor Portugal. Por-tugal. One month ago, after Vichy announced an-nounced its open alignment with Hitler, Roosevelt prepared to send a message to congress emphasizing emphasiz-ing the importance of the Atlantic At-lantic islands (Azores, Cape Verde, Canaries) and of French West Africa as jumping-off places to South America. . Simultaneously seven ships began be-gan loading U. S. marines at Quantico, Va., for a secret landing land-ing on the Azores. The plan was to take these vital stepping atones in mid-Atlantic under the temporary temp-orary protection of the United States. But Roosevelt waited. Also the state department, being gentlemanly, gentle-manly, queried the Portuguese government. And the Portuguese spJd they would object strenuously to American marines on the Azores.. They said they would fight. So Roosevelt continued waiting. Later he referred to the Azores in his fireside chat, and Portugal vigorously protested. Now Portuguese Portu-guese newspapers are whipping up public opinion against the United States. At about the same time certain French leaders familiar with Martinique informed Washington of their anxiety to cast off from Vichy, come under the protective friendship of the United States. They described the people of Mart inique as out of step with Vichy, thoroughly in step with the United Unit-ed States. They said a change of governments in the island would be easy. But the state department said no. Like the French in Italy and in the Near East, the state department? de-partment? had what seemed like good reasons. But the real truth was that French was still the real language of American diplomacy. dip-lomacy. (Anqther French Lesson by The Washington Merry-Go-Round will follow soon).
