The diary will not change the overall picture regarding Pearl Harbor. Some aportions of the diary would be highly embarrassing to Grew, however, were they pub- lished. On Dec. 8, 1941, for in- stance, the day after Pearl Harbor, when the ambassador and his staff were confined by the Japs to the embassy grounds, Grew wrote a bitter denunciation of Roosevelt. He! kept up this line of criticism until he returned to Washington, follow- ing which he changed his tune. Back in Washington, Grew seem- ed to think that Japanese-Ameri-| can relations had been handled about as well as possible before Pearl Harbor and he became an| ardent Roosevelt rooter, so much| so that FDR appointed him Under Secretary of State. The Grew diary would also show that he had considered Emperor Hirohito a harmless and innocent little man whom it did not hurt to appease. Some people would get, the idea from reading Grew's' diary that he Himself was an! emperor-worshipper, though actual- ly he believed that the institution of emperor should be preserved to win over the Japanese people. This was why he went to the unusual length of writing a directive sup- pressing FCC intercepts of Jap broadcasts regarding the emperor. | During most of Grew's term in (Continued on Page Four) If the Pearl!

From a radio station near Soera- baja, the native leader, Soetomo spoke of a campaign of poisoning against the Dutch, saying: “The Dutch are boasting that they soon will bring in thousands of soldiers. What of it? We are determined to annihilate them, even if we have to poison them to death. “We have 70,000,000 behind us. It is an easy task for us to get rid of 100,000 or 200,000, enemies by poison.” Simultaneously, The Netherlands East Indies Government ‘an- nounced that Acting Governor- General H. J. Van Mook would leave by plane Thursday for The | Hague. The Dutch news agency Aneta} said that British Lt. Gen. Sir Miles C. Dempsey, commander of ground forces under the Southeast Afla\ Command, arrived here today. Premier Sjahrir again asked world recognition of his- regime. His statement came as the British command clamped wartime secrecy on troop movements and communications as & prelude ot full scale operations against armed In- donesians who were reported plan- ning a major uprising by the week'’s end.
