said substantially the same things
publicly.
Since the Geneva incident
MatSuoka's political fortunes have
moved up and down. Army influence
placed him in the lucrative position
of president of the South Manchuria
Railway, but his grandiose expan-
sion schemes in this connection
caused so much opposition by jap
anese businessmen that the army it
self was forced to jettison him in
1899.
He was on the shelf until the
Japanese FaScistS gained new wind
from the sensational German blitz-
krieg in the Low Countries and
France. When Prince Konoye re-
turned to power on the strength of
this development last July he
brought Matsuoka along with him.
Matsuoka began his foreign min
istry with an announcement that
Japan henceforth would collaborate
with the axis. A few weeks later
Japan became military ally of
Germany and Italy.
japanese public opinion did not
react favorably to this alliance even
in its beginning, and it became in
creasingly hostile as indications
multiplied that Britain would not
easily succumb and that the United
States was not at all scared by the
explicit threat against her, con-
tained in the axis agreement. Also
the hope of settlement of long
standing Japanese-Russian diff
ferences, held out by the Konoye
government, has faded.
Official American observers in
Japan have advanced the guess
that MatuokaS task in Berlin will
be to ease Japan out OF its axis
commitments, rather than to in
volve her more deeply. His tech
nlque, these observers conjecture,
will be to tell Mr.. Hitler that the
threat of a combined British Amer
ican-Russian attack has made it
impossible for Japan to move unless
Germany and Italy can come ac-
lively to her aid-something these
axis partners seem unable to do.
A third point upon which Amer
lean observers in Japan are agreed
is that if Mr.. Matsuoka comes home
without something very definite in
the way of Japanese escape from
the axis, or unless Germany and
Italy achieve very substantial mil
itary successes in the meantime,
Matsuoka will lose his cabinet job
and the whole Konoye government
is likely to 90 with him.

Recorder Of Deeds
In Report Urges
Six Code Changes
Profit Of $36.7 Shown
For Year; End Of Deficit
OF $212,225 Predicted

DR.. William ]. Thompkins, recorder
of deeds, made six recommendations
for his Office In the annual report
to President Roosevelt yesterday, and
reported a profit of $36,78O for the
last year in office operations.
He estimated that the deficit of
$212,225 that has existed since he
took Office in 1894 would be wiped
out by profits by the end of this
year.
Specific recommendations in the
corporation code are as follows:
Foreign corporations should be re-
quired to obtain permission and
license to do business in the District.
and certificates as to- their authority
so to do should be recorded.
AL foreign and domestic corpora
tons should be required to appoint
and record designation of a business
agent upon whom notice and process
can be served.
All foreign and domestic corpora
tions should be required to file an
nual reports, and an effective
penalty for failing to file such should
be set.
All foreign and domestic CORPORA
tlons should be required to record
all changes in status, such as merg-
erS, transfers of business and dis
solutions.
All domestic corporations should
be required to give in their certifi-
Gates the names and addresses of
trustees and directors and the prin-
cipal place of business in the Dis
trict.
Some liberalization and revision
OF the "one purpose" clause in the
statute limiting domestic business
corporations should be made.
In an analysis of the laws of sew
eral States, DR.. Thompkins said that
most States now have the provisions
he recommended.
The recorder asked for increased
pay for his So employees, and sug-
gested that much Office equipment
was badly worn. Salaries need ad-
Justment. the report said, as most
OF the employees of the office are
below the average for the grades.
DR.. Thompkins referred to the
happy moment" last fall when
President Roosevelt spoke at the
ground-breaking ceremonies for the
new building.

100000 for plants to produce such
equipment and S200,000,O00 for re-
pairing, testing, equipping or other
wise servicing any defense equip
ment for the nations to receive aid,
including the repair of their war
ships in American ports.
The President would have the
right to transfer as much as 20 per
cent of the funds in any one cate
CORY to any of the others, but could
not increase the total of any one
by more than 80 per cent in that
manner.
On the final House roll call. many
Republicans - including Minority
Leader Martin, who had voted
against the original lend-lease bill
cast their hallots for the appro-
priation on the basis that the policy
had been adopted and should be
unitedly carried through. A motion
to send the bill back to committee,
presented by Representative Lam
bertson, was beaten 258 to 1872.
The chamber turned down amend
ments to reduce the appropriation
by varying amounts, to make the
time limit on the funds a fiat two
years, instead of until June 30, 1943
and to bar the use of American
harbors by belligerent warships.
Smith Amendment Rejected.
Also rejected was an amendment
by Representative Smith, Democrat,
of Virginia to deny the payment
of any part of the appropriation to
firms which in the future may sign
union contract calling for closed

gagged in jurisdictional strike, was
defeated by voice vote.
Representative Van Zandt, Re-
publican, of Pennsylvania proposed
that none of the money be used
to pay wages to any one not an
American citizen. Representative
Woodrum, Democrat, of Virginia,
in charge of the bill for the Appro-
priations Committee, said this would
maze it impossible to take advan-
tage of the talents of refugee ex-
perts" and the amendment was
turned down by resounding chorus

Representative Rich, Republican,
of Pennsylvania wanted to strike
out a $3.50, 100000 item for the pur-
chase of. agricultural supplies unless
England agrees to lift the blockade
which is keeping food out of Ger
man occupied Europe. Majority
Leader Mccormack made scorn-
full reply. He could not let Repre-
sentative Rich's statements go un-
answered, he said, because other
countries did not realize what a
"kind-hearted and harmless gentle
man" Mr. Rich actually is. The Penn
sylvanian, he said, was displaying a
"belated love" for the people of the
conquered nations because he voted
against the lend-lease bill which
was intended to help them regain
their freedom.

This we ought not to tolerate for a
moment.
1t is significant that, as we hear
OF the weakening of Gen. Wey-
gands position and the growth of
German influence in Morocco, Al
geria and Tunisia, there should be
revived at Vichy the project of
trans-Saharan railway, linking the
railway system of Algeria with Da-
kar and other ports of French West
Africa. Two years ago an article
by Marshal Franchet dEsperey in
the Revue des Questions de Defense
National strongly urged the con-
struction of such a line, connecting
not only with Dakar but with the
ports of French Guinea and Da-
honey. The purpose, in the mar
shaPs view, was largely strategic
permitting the reserves of native
troops of West Africa to be quickly
mobilized and transported to North
Africa and France.
Could Threaten Hemisphere.
Today this proposition works in
reverse, and the line would be a
direct and immediate threat to all
the British West African colonies,
and to our own security in the
Western Hemisphere While we are
undertaking to feed the population
of unoccupied France, it should be
made abundantly clear to Marshal
Petain that we do not regard the
construction of such railway at
this time as compatible with Ameri-
can interests.
Indeed, any move by the German
technicians now in North Africa to
so much as improve the desert road
leading southwark, let alone to start
railway construction, should be the
signal for prompt and effective
counter moves by the United States.
While such positions as Dakar re-
main isolated from Europe behind
the barrier of the Sahara, they can
serve us as outposts just as well as
they can serve European power
as attack base; it Is all q question
of who gets there first, and our sea-
command gives us every advantage.
But once connected by good COM
munications with Europe's centers
of power, such a base would become
a deadly threat to us, and one which
we could not thereafter eliminate
save at the cost of much blood and
treasure.

The Federal Communication
Commission today was planning al
investigation to determine if i
should adopt any special policy con
corning newspaper ownership O
| radio stations.
A majority OF the commission, II
ordering the investigation at an un.
specified date, said the action wa.
prompted by an increasing number
of applications from newspapers tt
operate stations using the new higf
frequency (F. M system.
A commission announcement sale
the action does not imply the com.
mission sis opposed to newspaper
ownership of radio stations in gen.
eral or in any particular situation.
Rather, the announce stated
the purpose is ito obtain for the
commission sufficient information
so that it will have rational basis
for the determination of future
cases."
In announcing its investigation OF
newspaper ownership of radio sta
tionS, the commission said it would
seek to obtain full and complete
information in passing on applica-
tions for high frequency broadcast
stations and for future acquisition
of standard broadcast stations by
newspapers"
Question Long Debated.
The hearings, the announcement
added, will be conducted with the
objective of determining whether or
not joint control of newspapers and
radio broadcaSting stations tends to
result in an impairment of radio
service under the standard of public
interest, convenience and necessity"
The announcement noted that the
question of newspaper ownership of
stations "has long been debated be-
fore the commission and elsewhere
and has been an issue in a number
of specific cases presented to the
commission"
The commission has in the past
denied licenses to newspapers in
some cases. In case from Port
Huron, Mich, the commission IA
vored a non-newSpaper applicant
for radio station, saying it would
afford the community "a medium
for the dissemination of news and
information to the public which will
be independent of and afford a de-
gree of competition to other such
media in this area"
Two Members Dissent.
The announcement said two
members of the commission, Nor
man S. Case and T. A. M. Craven,
diSSented from the action in order
ing an investigation into newspaper
ownership of radio stations.
The commission said its records
indicated approximately one-fourth
of all commercial F M applications
now pending were filed by newspa-
per interests.
More than one-third of the exist
ing standard broadcast stations, the
commission said, are identified with
newspapers "to a greater or lesser
extent" At least 100 standard
broadcast stations are owned by
publishers with more than one
newspaper and more than one radio
station connection, it added. In
more than 80 localities. it continued,
the only radio outlet 'is in the
hands of the only local newspaper" "
