During the past ten days the
House Of Representatives has ap-
proved, by practically unanimous
votes. a number of appropriation
bills for national defense purpo-
ses totalling nearly two and 4
half billion dollars. The bills
have been rushed through with
but little consideration either IN
the committees or on the Floor
Of the House, as it seems to be
the policy Of the leadership 70
give to the Departments Of the
Federal government charged with
the responsibility Of building
national defense, money request
ed without haggling or argu-
ments. Such action, however,
does not mean that the expendl-
lures mdde Dy eile
tense agencies will not be closely
scrutinized. So many reports
have already been received as TO
waste extravaganza and favorit-
ism in connection with national
defense expenditures that the
Senate has just passed resolu-
tion setting up a senatorial COM
mittee to investigate all such

They are employed at large

Howard O.. Hunter, Acting
Commissioner Of Work Projects,
announces that some 1876 new
WPA projects for national de-
fcnse approved during January
nave brought the total allotments
for such work activities to $780,
317,729 during the first seven
months Of the fiscal year. More
than 10000 WPA employees
are working on national defense
projects, Mr.. Hunter says. This
civilian army, as great as the Re-
gular Army of the United States
won its spurs in reace-time pur-
suits. The scope Of defense ac-#
tivities now carried on BY lcgions
Of WPA workers is suggested in
tie above photographs.

workers engaged on defense con-
struction projects, about 100000

Navy reservations. Meanwhile,
road projects, designated by the
War Department for their mili-
tary Importance, employ over
10000 WPA workers. The CEN

final result will be the naming of
a Joint Congressional Committee,
representing both the House ale
Senate, to carry on a continuous
investigation on defense spend
ing.
General debate is ended on the
Lease-Lend Bill in the Senate.
Amendments to the bill are now
under consideration, with a final
vote on the measure expected
either late this week or early
next week. There is little ques-
ton but that the bill will pass.
However, it will not have the
big majority that has SO conf
IDENTIFY been claimed TOR it by Ad-
ministration leaders and New
Deal columnists. In fact it
would not be surprising if sew
eral important amendments are
forced into the bill over the OPP
position Of the Administration.

NJ AYBE it's an outing you want
next Sunday, or help with the
curtains.
Whatever you wish from your
family, a special Peach Cake for
dinner will help win it. For right
hand aid on this dessert, try the
new set-rising -four now on the
market. The new product has lots
OF advantages over the old seH-rising
flour, because action is slowed SO
that by the time your cake is mixed,
the baking powder Is only starting
to work. Thus, you lose none Of
the "risin' power.
Here is the recipe to try with the
new flour:
Peach Cake
Cream tablespoons or a scant
II cup fat. Add 70 cup sugar. Cream
until sugar has dissolved. Add l
egg and stir in thoroughly (do not
beaD. Add II cup milk and IA cups
self-rising flour alternately. Add l
teaspoon extract. Pour into a
creased and Toured cake pan, and
bake in moderate oven 1850 degrees
F) about 30 minutes. Whip l pint
whipping cream and add "a cup sug-
ar. Split the cake. Spread lower
hall with cup crushed peaches and
half the whipping cream. Add top
layer, and pile with another cup OF
crushed peaches and remaining
cream. Garnish with peach slices.

America First Urqes
An-0ut HostiIities
Against Japanese
Pledges Support Of War
And Aid to President;
Cobb Quits Committee

By the Associated Press
CHICAGO, Dec 8.-The national
headquarters of the America First
Committee last night issued the
following statement:
To-day the military forces of
Japan have without warning at
tackled this Nation and the Japa-
nese government has formally de
clared war upon us. This must be
followed by a similar declaration
on the part Of the United States
and by all-out hostilities.
The America First Committee
urges all those who have subscribed
to its principles to give their sup
port to the war effort of this "-,,-
try until the conflict WIN Japan
Is brought to a successful conclu-
sion. In this war the America
First Committee pledges its aid to
the President as commander In
chief of the armed forces of the
United States"
A committee spokesman said the
statement was issued after consul
tation with Gen. Robert E. Wood,
national chairman, who was IL
New York.
Irving S. Cobb said in Los An
Evening star., 1941-12-08

and Italy in the treaty of Berlin,
September ~. 1910, especially aimed
at the United States. She affirmed
this tie by renewing her signature
Of the anti-comintern pact at Ber-
lin, November Is, 1941.
Denounced in 1889.
The American Government for
its part denounced on July 26, 1899,
Its treaty of friendship and COM
merce with Japan. In the summer
of 1941, when Japan was strength
ening her grasp on French Indo-
China. Washington went a step
further. President Roosevelt froze
all Japanese credits in this country
Britain and her doninions and
the Dutch Indies followed suit. The
result was almost an entire CeSSa-
ton of Japanese foreign trade. The
flow OF oil and scrap metal from
the United States and oil from the
Indies which has fed her war ma
chine was shut of. Economically
she was isolated, with her Axis
allies unable to help. The eco
nomic measures were supplemented
by military moves of vast scope
which in effect ringed Japan on all
sides with hostile forceSin China,
Russia, British Malaga. the Dutch
Indies and the Philippines and
Hawaii.
Russia's entry into the war pre-
sented Toxic with a new threat
While Hitler was blowing through
the Russian armies. this looked
more like an opportunity than a
menace, but as winter closed down
with Russia still unbeaten the
Japanese hopes which rode on Hit
lers banners faded.
Last Efforts at Peace Fail.
The economic pinch, the steadily
growing power OF the military forces
gathering in the East, caused her
to cry out against "strangulation."
A civilian government. headed by
Prince Fumimaro Konoye, resigned
In September, admitting It's in
ability to cope with the vast forces
loosed by the world cataclysm.
Specifically it was unable to improve
relations with the United States.
A military government. headed by
Gen. Hideki TOTO, took over.
In what was advertised as final
EFFORT" to save the peace of the
Pacific the TOTO government sent
one OF its most accomplished diplo-
mats. Saburo Kurusu, by plane to
Washington. The negotiations were
dragging on toward an apparent
breakdown when, three weeks after
