Grew, who has returned to the United States after ably serv- ling for many years as ambassador to Japan, was the kind that ought to do more to jolt Americans ‘um of their complacency than the talks that have | been delivered by other members of the Adminis- | | tration whose knowledge of the countries now our | fz-m:mm\ was acquired during brisk 10-day tours of ivh'um!l hotel lobbies, bars and golf courses | Grew probably knows the Japanese as well as z\n_\'i | white man can expect to understand the treacherous | rascals.

They look upon us Americans as consti- tutional weaklings, demanding our daily comforts and unwilling to make the sacifices demanded for victory in a war against a military machine which | has prepared and trained itself in Spartan simplicity and the hardness and toughness demanded by war. “They attach great importance to the former dis- | unity in the United States'over the war issue, and | they still count on an appreciable interval before an | aroused nation can find itself and develop a fight- | ing spirit of its own. By that time, they feel, Japan will be in complete control of all East Asia.” | Grew also warned that if Americans think “wo! can continue to lead our normal lives, leaving, the | spirit. of self-sacrifice to our soldiers and sailors, | letting the intensification of our production pmgram‘ take care of itself, we shal] unquestionably risk the danger of a stalemate in this war of ours with | Japan.” > ming from a recognized authority, Grew's ana- | lysis of conditions in Japan, his appraisal of Japan as a military power and his predictions should be welcomed by everyone who wants to face the war | realistically. His talk was the kind that inspires an | impatient citizen to give a hot-foot to every one | of his countrymen who isn’'t yet awake to the perils | which surround this nation and to pin back the ears | |of all big-league racketeers who are capitalizing on this war and tweak the noses of all the arrogant | little dave becks who are to be found in nearly every | settlement in the land and who are responsible for | thousands of war work stoppages which, although | each may not amount to much, do, when added to- ether, seriously retard the war effort and jmpar-' |dize the lives of our soldiers, sailors and marines. it was too bad bomb the palace. that the America, had been the strength war advised so that he Remember the assassinations of all but wiped that leaders who only kind of lead- HOOVER SAYS WATCH OUT FOR FAKERS Many Persons Imperson- ating Officers Have Been Nabbed Beware of and officers, Hoover of the Director J. Federa] Bureau Investigation, has agaln cautioned. As a result of numerous imperson- agipn violations throughout the nation, Mr. Hoover urges members of the public not to furnish infor- mation to any person purporting to represent a Federal agency un- less he displays credentials posi- tively identifying both himself and the organization. Numerous ¢ have recently arisen where unauthorized persons, posing as FBI agents, haye secured information and privileges which they would not normally have re- ceived. Watch out for tigator who his badge the FBI scrutinizing the alleged inves- “flashes” momentarily or credentials, warned Director. Insist upon them closely and if there is any doubt as to his auth-' enticity, report the incident to the office of the FBI. Fake Exposed Only a short time ago a swash- buckling adventurer posing as an FBI agent secured several sums of money and an expensive ring from a young woman. From another gullible victim he obtained $3200 while she basked in the thoughts of his important Federal connec- tions. To substantiate his false assertion that he was an FBI agent this man “flashed” a gold badge, which he took pains not to allow his victim to see closely. The FBI ended t his impersonator’s transcontinental philand erings, however, and he was given a four- year sentence in prison, The “investigator” who has only people. One furniture dealer was| S0 deeply impressed with the quack colonel’s story he allowed the latter to delay payment of an ac- count because he was busy inves- tigating Pearl Habor. The “Col- onel” was sentenced to four years in Federal prison. In New Jersey a bogus Major was such an able faker that he began ordering a good portion of the citizenry about. He had begun and supervised the construction of an Army Canteen which did busi- ness for five weeks, purchased a new automobile with a $1600 bad check, and forced the concession- aire to hire his fiancee to keep records “required by the govern- fake Federal agents|to see his credentials.

The wartime efforts of our na- tion could be endangered by un- scrupulous persons who might take advantage of their false positions fo commit sabotage or secure con- fidential information, There has been a marked in- crease in impersonations of Army and Naval officers in recent months. In Washington, D. C, a pompous “General” boldly requi- sitioned an official Army car—with chauffeur+to go job hunting around Washington. He had no Army con- nections at all and was arrested by the FBI on impersonation charges. “Army Officers” Then there was the case of the Maryland carpenter who built houses during the day and played Army officer at night. He admitted in court that he did it to impress ment.” When the “Major” was un- | masked, he premptly asserted that he was an FBI agent posing as a| Major in order to ferret out sub- versive activities among the Army construction workers. He was a fraud and was promptly dealt with by the FBI. Watch Credentials It is good business for persons to know with whom they are deal- ing. Particularly at this time it is imperative that information not be given to unauthorized persons. Everyone, when asked for informa- tion or privileges by any person | who claims to be a Federal agent or officer, should insist upon see- | ing his proper credentials. Impersonating a Federal officer | is a Federal offense and all sus- pected infractions of this statute should be reported immediately to the nearest office of the FBI. —o— HARRY BARTELL HERE FOR VISIT BEFORE LEAVING FOR SOUTH TONY as a paid-up subscriber to THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE is invited to present this coupon this evening at the box office of the-— CAPITOL THEATRE and receive TWO TICKETS to see: ‘Swing It Soldier'—'A Dangerous Game' Federal Tax—5c per Person WATCH THIS SPACE—Your Name May Appear!
