Direct Soi|ings to U.S.. Dropped,
Japan Maps New Economic Step
Totuto Moru Leaves
San Francisco After
Unloading Silk
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4-The
SIS 100000 japanese liner Tatuta
Maru sailed for home today after
hastily unloading s2,500000 cargo
of raw silk highly priced for the
defense program.
At Seattle another Japanese ship
prepared to follow later in the day.
The Tatuta Maru at San Fran
cisco. with emergency longshore
crews working around the clock, dis
charged the last of her cargo about
pm. last night. Then she round
ed up her lbs passengers. who have
been waiting several days for SAIL
ing. rushed aboard supplies of 1000
barrels of motor oil tall that was
permitted her of a e,000-barrel re-
quest. ballast cargo Of cocoa beans
and asphalt, and called for a bar
pilot to report at m. to take the
vessel outside the Golden Gate.
Silk Going to Mills.
United States marshal's deputies,
who had guarded the ship since libel
actions were slapped on the cargo
by American consignees last week,
left the ship in the evening. as cargo
was deposited and the liens lifted.
In Seattle, the Heian Maru also
piled her raw silk on the docks,
awaiting quick shipment to New
York and New Jersey mills by train
The vessel was posted to sail as soon
as loaded, probably some time to-
day.
Somewhere at sea, the Asamu
Maru. which left Honolulu Friday
with 40 American passengers and a
cargo including nearly S3,O00,O00
worth of raw silk. was maintaining
radio silence. Offices of its owners,
the N. Y. K. line, said they did not
know themselves whether Toxic
would order the vessel to return to
Japan or allow it to continue to
San Francisco as scheduled.
Fails to Get Oil Cargo.
Meanwhile, the second Japanese
tanker to leave America empty
sailed from San Francisco yester-
day. She was the Daisan Ogura
Maru, which sailed at $40 pm. after
failing to get license to transport
fuel oil to Japan. The Nissyo Maru
went to sea empty from San Pedro
yesterday.
Some shipping sources speculated
that the tankers might join others
cruising off the coast, which may
have orders to wait for develop
ments before returning without oil
to Japan.

Congress to do that which we deem
unWiSe and unnecessary.
mo reference to statehood is made
in the resolution. per Sc, but We be-
lieve that national representation
as advocated by proponents, and as
would be authorized by the measure,
can mean no less. The Constitution
confers national representation on
States alone. Only State may en-
joy this privilege. 1t is not accorded
to the Territories. To grant national
representation to the District would
confer on the District privileges
tantamount to statehood without
exactlng co-eXtensive responsible
ties. S. j. Res. 80, made a part of
the Constitution and permitted to
operate to its logical conclusion,
would transform the District into a
super-State, with all its attendant
possibilities for confusion with the
Federal Government. Under exist
ing law the Federal Government
must contribute from the public
treasury a portion of the cost of
lIlC DlotI ~.
fore, in addition to voting for Presi-
dent, Vice President and members
of Congress (Which is national rep
resentation for all the States the
District would also continue to draw
on every other State in the Union
for support of the newly created
super commonwealth.
Objections Would Be Invited.
ITO continue with the process of
contribution from the Federal Treas
ury to sustain the District after it
had been virtually invested with
statehood would be to invite legiti-
mate objection from the States, or
to encourage a demand from the
States or other municipalities that
they. too, be supported from the
Federal Treasury.
ITO withdraw the Federal contri-
button from the District, which must
inevitably result, would but place
an additional tax burden on the
taxpaying citizens of the District.
"As to the other issue with respect
10 local sell I-SOVeT11IIleIlt, congress
now possesses ample authority to
establish a form of local autonomy
and to revitalize suffrage in the Dis
trict. Suffrage has never been taken
from the District. 1t exists Nday
as it did. from 1920 to 1874. When
in 1874, all elective Offices were
abolished, the vote remained I'M
touched. Autonomous suffrage could
be exercised today if Offices we're
provided.
Should the Congress determine
that self-government is desirable
for the District this may be ac-
complished by an act without a
constitutional amendment.
Finally, the resolution makes pro-
vision for extending the judicial
power of the United States to con-
troversies to which citizens of the
District shall be parties the same
as to controversies to which citizens
of State shall be parties. Such
extension of original Jurisdiction has
already been provided in Public Law
No. 1853, 18th Congress"

The Russians also reported a Ger
man or Finnish submarine sunk in
the Baltic, when Red Navy torpedo
boats were credited during the week
end with sinking $4,000 tons OF Ger
man transports and tankers.
The communique declared. too,
that during an aerial attack the
night of August / Russian bombs
exploded on docks at the Black Sea
port of Constanta, where German
destroyer was anchored and dam
aged other shipping in the port.
On the battle front the week end
brought a strong new pincers at
tack aimed at Kiev.
The Russians declared the attempt
to wrest from Russia the golden
wealth of Ukraine wheat had failed
because the Germans we're unable
to sweep in with the speed the coup
would have required.
The fields already are golden ripe
and the harvest, speeded by worker
groups behind the lines, was report
ed flowing rapidly into granaries to
be taken far back to safety. Where
the ripened grain cannot be saved,
the yellow fields are burned in the
scorched-earth policy laid down by
Premier Stain.
BY communique the Russians re-
ported the Germans had driven
into the vicinities of Korosten, 80
miles northwest of Kiev, and Bel
Tserkov, barely so miles south of
the capital-thrusting past Zhitomir
on both sides.
The communique indicated the
front remained stable during the
week end in the hotly contested
Smolensk salient toward Moscow
and along the Estonian gateway to
Leningrad as the war thundered into
its seventh week.
The Communist party newspaper
Pravda declared in a dispatch date
lined Tallinin that the Estonian
capital still was in Russian hands.
dispatches from Helsinki,
where Finnish forces have said
they have regained almost all
the territory lost to Russia
year and a half ago, reported a
strong Russian garrison still hold
ing out in the big port city of
Sortavala in Finnish territory at
the north of Lake LadogaJ

Union With Britain
AssaiIed as Threat
To U.S.. independence
Streit Defends PIun
In Forum of Air
Broadcast Here

Clarence K. Streit's proposal of
union now" with the British Com
monwealth was assailed as a plan
which would kill the independence
Of the United States, and defended
as projected extension of Ameri-
can democracy in troubled world
by speakers on the American Forum
Of the Air here last night.
Representative Day of Illinois
and Representative Mundt of South
Dakota attacked the plan on the
ground American citizens would
have much to lose and little to
gain.
mo American could call his soul
his own" declared Mr. Day. What
chance would a plain, everyday
American have in British caste
society? Would Mrs. Roosevelt be
the Duchess of Hyde Park?"
This satirical approach drew
laughter from the local audience at
the Nationwide broadcast over
VOL from the Willard Hotel, as
did Mr.. Mundt's assertion that
"(union now would be very much
like marrying Uncle Sam off to a
British widow with six children, all
of whom had the measles and host
of unpaid doctor bills"
Mr.. Streit, speaking in behalf OF
his own proposal of federal union
now with Canada, England. Fire,
South Africa and New Zealand,
maintained that it would gain en-
during peace among self-governing
nations in the selfsame way that we
have already succeeded in gaining
it among people of many States and
different national origins right here
in the U. S. A"
DR.. Frank Kingdom, New York,
chairman of the Committee to De-
fend America, warned that failure
to accept federalism may mean
forced acceptance later Of imper-
ialism, militarism or appeasement.
