HOME GUARD BILL
 MAY BE ENACTED
Congressman s m ith' s Measure on Legal Status
 Expected to Pass
tspecial to The Democrat,

Washington, Sept. 20- Congress sional leaders today urged immediate action on a bill reported favorably by the House military affairs com mittee yesterday to provide legal au- thority for the organization and equipment of home defense troops. Congressman J. Joseph Smith of Connecticut, author of the bill, yes- terday accepted compromise of- fered by Rep. Andrews of New York, to limit such troops to states where the national guard or parts thereof are called to active service.
 Any question of the status of the home guard being organized in Con- necticut would be eliminated by the Smith bill, and as the 242nd coast artillery of the Connecticut national guard has been inducted into active service, the Andrews amendment would cause no difficulties.
 The bill would permit the secretary of war to issue to home guard troops any available arms, ammunition and equipment, at the request of the gov- ernor. Congressman Smith has been advised ply the secretary of war that existing law does not permit the or- ganiaztion of home defense troops or the issuance of federal property for their use.

EDITORIAL
UNITED STATES SALES TO JAPAN
 By Rev. Wilbur P. Wood

For economic as we'll as ap- parent political reasons we, the American people, do not want China to lose the war with Japan yet we continue to allow our merchants to sell Japan the mat erials with which she will con- quer China. Our government has the legislative authority through our neutrality acts, to keep Am ericans from selling munitions and potential war supplies to Jap an, and yet they fail to do it. Common sense dictates that such foolishness ought to stop, and yet, we ask why does it go on?
 The government has b e e n afraid of injuring the steel and munitions making industries, and thus has refused to curtail such sales to Japan. There is some sense to that. But, now that we have the rare privilege to selling more war supplies to Europe than we can at once supply, why should we continue selling to belligerent Japan? Last week the United States fleet sailed from her Pacific war games to the Philip pines because of certain proclaim ations of Japan concerning the East Indies possessions. It is not right that we continue to sell weapons or potential weapons of war to belligerent nation that might possibly become belliger- ent as far as the United States and her possessions are concern ed.
 Our United States government has the ability to stop these un- just sales, and we the people ought to insist upon it.
