By ROBERT T. BELLAIRE (Copyright 1942 by the United Press) Lourenco Marques, Portuguese East Africa, July 2.i (UP)—Japan's war lords made full preparations for war before sending a "peace" envoy to Washington last autumn, and they now are helievrd to be trying to outflank the Soviet Union by seizing American outposts in the Aleutians. There are two main pha.ses to the story of maneuvering and plotting that I watched develop during hectic months as United Preas manager in Japan before Pearl Harbor and as an internee in a camp near Tokyo after war began. TRYING TO OUTFLANK SIBERIA The first phase led to a sudden shift in FBI Calls on Americans m OUM To CaUh 3 Saboteurs \j^j^j^\^^^_^ plans of the Japanese militarjr leadera in order to make a surprise attack on Hawaii. The second is generally believed in Tokyo to be designed to maintain an "undeclared peace" with the Soviet I'nion while trying to outflank Rus.sia in the Pacific and to break the United States defense line cen¬ tered on Ala.ska, Midway and Panama. But it i.s also believed that if the Red Army collap.ses on the European front, the Japanese will strike directly at Siberia. Since our arrival in this neutral port to sail for America next Tuesday on the exchange ship Gripsholm, it is possible to disclose some of the circumstances leading up to Pearl Harbor. FORCED TO ADVANCE SCHEDULE The details, previously concealed by air¬ tight Japanese censorship, showed that Japan had made full preparations for this war last September before Saburo Kunisu flew to Washington. Total mobiUcation had been ordered and, after freezing the Japanese army at full strength, thc war lords established a six-months deadline for an agreement with the I'nited States.

Japanese Intoxicated With Victory Stories
Here is the first story to come through the screen of Japanese propaganda and rensorship regarding the enemy war Iord.<' movements leading up to war in the Pacific and their moves against a poissible conflict with the Soviet Union, written by one of the best known American corres. pondents in the Far East, who covered the pre-war developments step by step at Tokyo.
By ROBERT T. BELLAIRE
(Copyright 1942 by the United Press)
Lourenco Marques, Portuguese East Africa, July 2.i (UP)—Japan's war lords made full preparations for war before sending a "peace" envoy to Washington last autumn, and they now are helievrd to be trying to outflank the Soviet Union by seizing American outposts in the Aleutians.
There are two main pha.ses to the story of maneuvering and plotting that I watched develop during hectic months as United Preas manager in Japan before Pearl Harbor and as an internee in a camp near Tokyo after war began.
TRYING TO OUTFLANK SIBERIA
The first phase led to a sudden shift in

plans of the Japanese militarjr leadera in order to make a surprise attack on Hawaii. The second is generally believed in Tokyo to be designed to maintain an "undeclared peace" with the Soviet I'nion while trying to outflank Rus.sia in the Pacific and to break the United States defense line cen¬ tered on Ala.ska, Midway and Panama.
But it i.s also believed that if the Red Army collap.ses on the European front, the Japanese will strike directly at Siberia.
Since our arrival in this neutral port to sail for America next Tuesday on the exchange ship Gripsholm, it is possible to disclose some of the circumstances leading up to Pearl Harbor.
FORCED TO ADVANCE SCHEDULE
The details, previously concealed by air¬ tight Japanese censorship, showed that Japan had made full preparations for this war last September before Saburo Kunisu flew to Washington. Total mobiUcation had been ordered and, after freezing the Japanese army at full strength, thc war lords established a six-months deadline for an agreement with the I'nited States.
They decided that within six months an agreement must be reached on renewal
