Whether the japanese military
command intends to start a dou-
Bile offensive against Russia and
Thailand or whether it is merely
taking precautionary measures to
avoid a British diversion through
Thailand is not known here.
The position of the United
States in these new Asiatlc de-
velopments rests on her decision
to continue to send war material
to Russia, regardless of whether
Moscow falls or not. There is
only one gate open into Russia
today-that through VladivoStok
and Siberia. The administration
is determined to keep it open. AS
long as the japanese do not in
terfere with the ships conveying
war material TO that Siberian
port, there is no cause for United
States action in the North Paci-
fic. But if the japanese blockade
Siberian waters, the United
States is not expected to recog-
nize such an action.
Congress Attitude Changed.
Administration leaders in the

Incidents involving American

on, in the opinion of high naval
officials. These incidents have
been expected for some time. But
naval authorities believe that yes

that it was made in accordance
with an established plan between
the Japanese and the Nazi high

Japan Fears L. ;. BattleShips.
Americas S newest battleshIps-
the North Carolina and the

have been worrying the Toxic
admiralty. The Japanese high
command hopes that hostile ac-
tlonS by the Nazi Navy may force
American naval authorities to
keep these super ships in the At
lantIc.
Such an Axis plan is suspected
by Washington and it is said here
that whatever happens in the
North Atlantic the attention OF
the administration will remain
focused on the Far East.
Washington expects a japanese

Something over "a years ago
the House of Representatives
adopted a resolution authorizing
the arming OF American mer-
chant ships in order to protect
themselves against the unGersea
raiders of the imperial Germany
of those days. Yesterday the
House adopted a resolution au-
thoriZing the arming of American
merchantmen to protect them
selves against the raiders of
Nazi Germany. In both cases.
American ships had been sunk
and American lives lost.
The vote on the armed ship
resolution of the Wilson admin
istration. taken March l. 1917,
was 403 ayes" IA noes and II
members were recorded as not
voting. Yesterday, the vote on
the armed ship resolution--re-
pealing that section of the Neu-
trality Act forbidding such arm
ing-Was 259 "ayes 1873 noes"
1t is obvious from a record of
the vote that a great majority of
the Republican members Of the
House voted for the armed ship
bill in 1917. Indeed. such leaders
as the late Speaker LOngWorth,
former Representative Tilson, the
late Representative MOndell the
late Speaker Gillett and Repre-
sentative TreadWay all voted for
its adoption.
But yesterday ll3 Republicans
voted against the armed ship res
olution. and only 80 voted for it.
The answer to this discrepancy
in Republican voting is that in
1917 the Republican party had
not become the party of "isOla-
ton. and that today the G o. P.
congressional leaders are tacking
that Label on the party as fast
as they know how. True, the
vote yesterday showed 80 Re-
publicanS voting for the armed
ship resolution as compared TO
only q voting last summer for
the bill extending the period Of
military service, an urgent mat
ter of national defense. That is
a gain, but it still leaves the
C. o. P. in the attitude of re-
sisting the efforts of the admin
istration to make this country
safe from attack by aiding the
enemies of Hitler.
Heads Still in the Sand.
Representative Johns, Repub-
liCan. of Wisconsin, during the
debate in the House on Thurs
day, speaking against the armed
ship resolution, said: No one
that know of has produced the
slightest credible evidence that
this country is in real danger of
attack. no matter who wins the
war that is now being fought"
That, generally, epitomizeS the
arguments Of the isolationistS.
Despite the fact that officials
of the Government from the
President and Secretary of State
Hull on doWn-inCluding men who
are in g position to have all the
facts-have repeatedly declared
that If Hitler and his allies win
this war, the United States will
be the neXt-and the last-on the
list of nations whose domination
has been sought, the isolation
lists continue to repeat the state
ment that there is no danger of
attack. Hitler himself, and his
aides, have written and said that
their intention was TO so frame
the world that they would dom
mate, with other peoples forced
to play minor rolls in the pattern.
Evening star., 1941-10-18

has been a drastic change Of
mind among members Of both
houses. Some of the inyeterate
iSOlatiOnistS admit that Americas
security and defense requires a
showdown with Japan. It is ad-
mitted. even in these quarters,
that the administration has been
more than lenient toward our
Pacific neighbor. When mem
bers of Congress were asking the
State Department to apply
drastic embargo on war essentials
such as oil, gasoline and scrap
iron to the NipponeSe Empire.
the State Department turned a
deaf ear and authorized only
half-hearted measures. The
American diplomats believed
until few months ago that a
conflict with Japan could be
avoided if We did not press them
too hard. On the other hand
Toxic was warning Washington
that a complete embargo on gaso-
line and oil would mean war with
the United States in a few weeks.
The administration wanted to
avoid this and for almost a year
shut its eyes to the quantities Of
bootleg high octane gas which
we're being sent weekly to Japan.
While members of Congress.
including the isolatiOniStS and the
limited" isolatonists, oppose any
action which might take us into
a European war, there are only
very few now who oppose a
showdown in the Pacific.

The torpedoing of the United
States destroyer Kearny by an
Axis submarine-the first such
attack in the North Atlantic since
the shooting order"-together
with the rapid deterioration of
the situation in the Far East. has
led responsible officials in Wash
ington to conclude that Americas
active participation in the war is
now but a matter of weeks.
The Nazis have undoubtedly
won diplomatic victory in Toxic
and the appointment of the ultra
jingoistic German admirer, Gen.

with practically unlimited powers

cation that any further peace

For the second time in a little
more than a month, the Germans
today use high command COM
munique for political as well as
military purposes at a critical mo-
ment in the battle of the Atlantic.
1t is more than a coincidence that
the Nazi high command-one day
| after the United States Navy re-
ported the torpedoing of the new
American destroyer Kearny off Ice
land-chooses to say that German
submarines have sunk 10 enemy"
merchantmen and two enemy" de-
StroyerS after strongly protected
convoy from North America was at
tackled after entering the
blockade zone"
The Germans obviously mean the
German blockade zone which eX-
tends from Iceland to the terri
torial waters of Greenland, the ap-
proXimate area in which the Kearny
| was tOl pCuOtu UuJ IlUl ouilh.
1t is also curious that the COM
munique makes the point that the
two destroyers allegedly sunk were
attacked at night; thus it may be
! trying TO get across the point that
/ the U-boats could not distinguish
British from American WarshipS.
Stirring Defeatist Rumor.
Without trying to weigh the truth
/ or lack of truth of the German COM
munique, it is difficult to escape the
/ impression that the Germans want
to create these beliefs:
That Hitler'S orders to sink any
vessel, merchant or WarShip, which
comes within German U-boat sights
on its way to England are being
carried out to the letter; that United
States naval protection of ships en-
route to Iceland is ineffective and
only a peril to American warships;
/ that therefore any further changes
in the United States neutrality laws
to arm or permit freer movement of
American flag ships on the Atlantic
are both useless and dangerous.
1t may even be that the Germans
