Churchill Would
Be Sorry To See
, Russia Quit U. N.
NEW YORK, (/P) -Winston
y Churchill says he would be sorry
if Russia and nations close to her
walked out of the United Nations,
but that he does not necessarily
believe that would lead to war.
Nor does the wartime British
prime minister believe that Rus
sia’s “violently aggressive line’’ of
current propaganda is “the pre
lude to war,” he said last night in
u radio broadcast from England to
' the Alfred E. Smith memorial
foundation dinner here.
“It may be that the Soviet gov
ernment and their Communist
fifth columns in so many countries
will, at some moment or other,
^ quit the United Nations organiza
tion,” Churchill said. “Then there
would be what is called two
worlds, and we should all be sorry
to see that.
“If one of these worlds is far
9 more powerful than the other and
is equally vigilant, and is also sin
cerely desirous of maintaining
peace, there is ho reason why a
two-world system should lead to
war.”
As for “an unceasing stream of
abuse upon the western world”
which he said “the Soviet govern
ments have poured out through
their radio, in 26 languages,”
Churchill said he believed it was
for “internal purposes.”

Hirohito Fully
Planned For War
With United States
—
TOKYO, (fl»i — Scowling, bald
ing Marquis Koichi Kido, long
time confidant and close adviser!
of Emperoi Hirohito, spurned yes
terday the popular theory that
Hirohito was a ‘‘bumbling, inef
fectual ruler” who was pushed
into the war by an all-powerful
militaristic clique.
kido, who tor live years was
lord keeper of the privy seal—
most coveted post in the Japanese
empire—pictured an entirely dif
fe'ent sort of emperor to the in
ternational military tribunal as
his defense deposition was read.
Kido’s account portrayed Hiro
hito as being well informed and
alert to Japan's course and the
impending hostilities, which he re
fused to advocate or oppose.
Once, Kido’s deposition assert
ed, he answered an imperial ques
tion as to the navy’s attitude on
war with the reply that “ . . . his
majesty’s decision is of such grav
ity that once decided it could not
be retracted.”
Despite the caution, he added,
Hirohito called on his top admir
als, who assured him the navy was
confident of success. The ruler
then immediately decided to hold
on schedule the imperial confer
ence of December 1, 1941, which
was called—as each participant
knew—to decide formally on war
with the United States.
Kido reported numerous con
versations with the emperor and
! said that as early as Oct. 1941. Hi

High Cost O’ Livin’
Stops Marriages
LOS ANGELES, I/P)—The high
cost of living is deferring marri- 1
ages. It’s also raising hob with
girls’ beauty treatments and mov
ie-going.
This testimony was given a
joint Congressional investigating
committee yesterday by Mrs. W.
L. Stanton, California legislative
member of the Y.W.C.A.
She said a survey of 160 work
ing girls showed that on their av
erage salary of $150 a month they
had had to cut down on meat-pro
tein foods, beauty treatments,
clothes, movies and even medical
and dental care.
“One-tenth said they have de
ferred marriage because of living
costs,” she said.

to be prepared for use if war
should be declared.
CITY COUNCIL MET
MONDAY EVENING
The City Council held its regu
lar meeting Monday evening. The
report of the assessment survey
was discussed and as soon as the
budget for next year has been
completed the council will estab
lish the new assessment rate.
City finances were reported at
low ebb due to the fact that the
Territory was unable to meet its
responsibilities for the school. The
city has had to advance salaries,
etc., for the. Nome school until
such time as the Territory will be
able to repay the city.
The cost of the necessary bulk
head and needed new fire main
pipes have also added to the ex
penses of the city, and it was es
timated that the city will not be
able to meet all of its obligations
before the taxes for next year are
received.
