S. Navy in the Philippines and the British Fieet at Singapore, we could cut off all oil, scrap iron, copper, cotton and other war ma- terials from Japan. Without these, he argued, the Japanese war ma- chine would be powerless and would fold up in six months. Leahy figured that the United States would lose its gunboats on the Yangtze River, but that aside from this the main U. S. Fleet would not have to fire a shingle shot BRITISH START BLOCKADE President Roosevelt agreed did the British. And in the late | summer of 1937, the British actually detailed six battleships, 12 cruisers | and 20 destroyers to leave British | home waters for Singapore. Just ‘4\] that moment, however, the Axis| capitals apparently got wind of | + what was happening, and Mussolini | started his unofficial submarine | campaign off the coast of Spain| which detained the British Fleet at | Gibraltar. A couple of ever, Roosevelt re sent Norman Da the Red Cross Brussels to a meeting of Nine-Power Pact | signatories called to protect Chin: from Japan. In the interim, Roose- velt had delivered his famous Chi-| cago Quarantine Speech, warning that the United States might have | to help put a quarantine around an aggressor natio 1. This was part of the build-up for Admiral Leahy's | plan to quarantine Japan However, the Brussels Conference fizzled—largely because of sabotage by the State Department in Wash- ington. Norman Davis found every move he made undermined by the | career diplomats in Washington some of them frankly believ- ing that it was best to give the Axis more (It is this same group which now believes Germany should be b buffer state against Russiz Part of Norm was also the isolat by the Chitago Tribune New York News, whic mering away at th Roosevelt was trying war.

But Admiral! revived it again a year later, when, in December 1938, the Japs sank the U. S. Gunboat Panay and the British Gunboat Ladybird. Leahy recognized this for what it w a deliberate attempt by the Jap war lords to test out how much insult the United States would take, and to make Britain and the U. S. A. lose face with the Chi- nese. Accordingly, he rushed to the State Department and all one Sun- day afternoon, December 13, 1938, one day after the sinking of the Panay, he urged Cordell Hull to seize this psychological moment to put the blockade of Japan into effect. The British were also willing to cooperate. And, Leahy pointed out, in another year, war, inevitably breaking out in Europe, would tie up the British Fleet and they could not possibly help us in the Pacific. Russia, he also pointed out, had 60 submarines at Vladivostok, ready to help us cut off all scrap iron, all oil, all cotton and copper from Japan. Without these, he argued, 1937, Leal So | the Japanese war machine would be future. paralyzed. Pacing the floor of Hull's office with Leahy was Hugh Wilson, ex- Ambassador of the State Department’s foremost appeasers. He opposed Leahy at every turn, finally convinced cau- tious Cordell Hull that Leahy was too vigorous, that it was best to appease Japan. Less than one year invaded Poland, Fleet was desperately needed to defend British home waters, and the fat was in the fire. From that later, Hitler the British | peint on there was no possible way the United States Japan: could blockade though many people have understood why we went to the opposite extreme and increased our shipments of oil and scrap iron to Japan so that she laid in tre- mendous reserves before Pearl Harbor. (Ambassador Joseph C Grew, the man chiefly responsible for the policy of selling oil and ire has now been made of State.) serap JAPAN CAN BE STARVED But beginning with V-E Day last week, the possibility of blockading Japan for the first time since 1939 was completely reversed. Since V-E Day, the British Fleet is entirely free to operate in the Pacific. So are Russian submarines. So is the whole might of the U. S. Navy, now no longer needed to watch for submarines in the Caribbean or the Atlantic.
