Extraordinary Inquiry

In repeatedly challenging the au-
thority of Senate subcommittee, Of
which he is a member, to conduct
the current extraordinary investiga-
ton of alleged war propaganda" in
motion pictures, Senator Mcfarland,
Democrat, of Arizona has raised an
important question, the pertinence
of which has become more and more
evident as the curious hearings pro-
ceeded. This inquiry, which recessed
yesterday for ten days, was not di-
rected by the Senate and has yet to
receive any sanction from it, 1t began
as supposedly informal study to de-
termine whether the Senate should
be asked to authorize a full-f1edged
investigation of the subject. 1t has
turned into a full-dress rehearsal of
the real thing by subcommittee
overwhelmingly isolationist in senti-
ment and evidently disposed to use
the hearings as sounding board for
its own particular brand of propa-
ganda. Senator Mcfarland is not
the only person who is deeply dis
tressed over the spectacle now being
presented at the Capitol.
The issue of the subcommittee
authority is likely to come to head
when the Senate Committee on Audit
and Control is called upon to pass on
the expense vouchers prepared by
Senator Clark of Idaho, Subcommit-
tee chairman. These expenses al
ready have run into hundreds of
dollars, most of the witnesses having
come from distant places. The COM
mittee is yet to see the pictures
which Senator Clark and his aides
| has listed as ''interventionist,"
and testimony at the hearings has
shown that at least some of the pic
lures would have been erased from
the list had the committee taken the
sensible step of determining by
first-hand inspection whether the
movies" were Objectionable.
Under Senate procedure, as laid
down in an 1888 statute, the ap-
proval of the Audit and Control
Committee is required before any
Senate group can be reimbursed
from the contingent fund for ex-
penSes incurred. The Audit and Con-
troll Committee logically could decide
against honoring the vouchers sub
mitted by Chairman Clark until the
Senate itself has directed payment.
The Clark group dispensed with
traditional routine, which involves
consideration of resolution OF in
quiry without the aid of hearings
and report to the Senate as to
whether there is sufficient basis for
the investigation proposed by the
resolution. Instead, it has gone
ahead with extensive hearings Just
as though the Senate had adopt
ed a resolution providing for an
inquiry.
1t matters not now whether the
Senate eventually approves or dis
approves be resolution for an inquiry
into alleged "war-mongering" via the
screen. The inquiry has been held
and there is nothing the Senate can
do about it, except to repudiate it and
to refuse to pay the unauthorized
expenses or to give its tacit consent
by approval of the vouchers. On the
strength of the inquiry's conduct
thus far, the Senate would be fully
justified in refusing to give its
approval.

OF Term america"

To the Editor of The Star:
Since the word America" does not
mean the United States alone, but in
cludes other countries, long have held
the belief that the America First Com
mittee uses the word in its more re-
stricted sense, meaning the United
States, and by that it hopes the Germans
will take this country first, if or when
they attack the Western Hemisphere.

Discusses Contention That Invasion
OF America Is absurd"


OF America Is absurd"
To the Editor Of The Star:
Most of us west of the Maginot Line
can recall smiles at the absurd alarm"
lest it be penetrated and "the best army
in Europe dissipated.
The "absurdity" exploded into reality,
with train of queer" events down to
the conquest of Crete-as absurd Gin an
ticipation as anything imagined Now
we watch the Axis worry and harry
Soviet land; wider and more populous
than our own, its military force five
times greater than we could use against
an invader. Yet an American citizen
writes: THE Axis powers have been
unable to invade and conquer Eng
land to date. 1t is absurd to think they
could set foot in this country"
Upon such proposition, country after
country lately awaited its turn, like
cattle in stockyard pens. one by one to
be shackled to the Axis which carries
each to the butcher.
Give the invaders of Crete bases in
Siberia, perhaps the advantage of a
little diversion in South America, and
they could "set foot in this country in
a way far from absurd 1t is not the
position, but the principles and the trend
of the Axis which make it danger.

wisdom of trying to send any more
materiel to Russia
How can tanks and trucks be sent to
Russia, except by way of Vladivostok?
How long will it take to make deliveries
of such materiel to Moscow?
1t looks to me as though some fifth
columnist" is busily trying to get the
United States to ship more military
equipment to Russia so that that materiel
will fall into the hands of the Germans.
I, therefore, ask The Star to tell us
how long it will take to make delivery
of materiel from Seattle to Moscow, as
Stunning that ships may be secured as of
October Is.
If Russia does collapse, what will be-
come of the stuff we are sending via
the Siberian railway? Is it possible that
much valuable equipment might be booty
for guerrilla bands of japanese or Mon
golians operating on the Siberian rail-
road?
We had better stick to Britain, giving
her all the direct support possible.
Watch out for Stain, the Bear that
walks like a man.

lease-lend bill cannot be stated. Some
undoubtedly have been stored in the
United States, awaiting favorable condi-
tions for shipment and in order to pile
up surplus.
The Department of Agriculture states
that its food purchases are for free
school lunches, to meet requirements of
the Red Cross for shipment to war
refugee areas, for stabilization reserves
and for transfer to other countries under
the terms of the Lease-Lend Act"
Obviously, no purchases of vitamins,
dried eggs or dried milk are being made
for school lunches. Red Cross shipments
are very small under present conditions.
The United States has no need to store
great amounts of concentrated foods for
the needs of its own people.
Recent visitors to England who have
returned to Washington have stressed
that food from America constitutes a
very small percentage of the British
needs. The purchases, however, have
been quite considerable, as shown by the
last Department of Agriculture report
The need of concentrated foods, such
as dried milk, dried eggs and cheese,
was stressed by Surg Gen. Thomas Par
ran when he returned last spring after
a three-month study of the British
health situation, and every effort has
been made this summer to speed up
American agriculture to produce the
articles needed.
The greater part of the 100000 tons
either already is in England or is avail
able for immediate shipment when trans
portation becomes available.
