to travellers who have just reached
here from Dill, the capital of the
little colony.
Y. Percival, an Australian cor
respondent, told interviewers on his
arrival here that the Japanese al
ready have made three survey flights
over Dill from the Pelew Islands,
despite the fact that the Portuguese
have not approved the opening of
regular air service.
When the third plane, a four
engined flying boat arrived. the

Percival said. "A japanese admiral,

believe America will not go into the
war openly and declare war against
Germany, so that situation (the
treaty obligations will not arise"
Implying that Japan felt obligated
to enter the conflict only in the
event of a formal American declara-
ton of war against Germany, he
said it was largely question of in
terpretation of the treaty"
When Japan entered the agree
ment last September. the AM
bassador continued, ''it was her in
tention to preserve the peace in the
Pacific. She did not envisage war
with the United States. She wanted
to avoid it,"
Says Japan Avoids War.
Japan likewise, he said, wanted
to stay out of the European war and
prevent its extension to the Pa
cific."
He acknowledged that the at
moSphere in the United States
toward Japan was worse than he
had believed before he left Japan
a few weeks ago.
About the same time he was talk
ing at the Embassy, the House was
passing legislation authorizing a
naval expansion program in the Pa
cific, including improvement of de-
fenses at the Far Western islands of
Guam and Samoa.
I'VE don't like TO see naval and
air bases established near us, eSpe-
cially by a great power like the
United States" the Ambassador said
of these projects, but We recognize
that Guam and Samoa are Amer
lean territories and We have no r.9Nt
to interfere"
He indicated that he did not con-

but We will bide our time; We will
take the chance of being the VIC
tins of a totalitarian triumph in
which the world will be divided
among three nations, not one of

Senator Bailey expressed opposi-
ton to a negotiated peace. declar-
ing that we can have peace all
right-all We have to do is to get out
from under and let Britain down
France has peace right now.

With the speeches by Senators
Bailey. Connally and Hill the ad-
miniStration rested its formal case
for the lease lend legislation.
The administration leadership
then sought Immediately to obtain
vote on amendments recommend
ed by the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, but opposition Senators OBJ
jected and Majority Leader Barkley
agreed to take them up again at a
later date.
Senator Barkley said he expected
a final vote on the bill toward the
end of next week
Hill Cites Cost of War.
Senator Hill told the Senate that
so long as Britain holds out and the
British fleet sails the oceans, the
axis powers cannot menace the
United States. But, he added, Brit
ain will have to stop fighting "un-
less the United States sends her
supplies and equipment of all kinds
in increased quantities"
1T is suggested he continued,
that instead of passing the bill we
simply give Britain some cash
money with which to purchase sup
plies. Some have suggested that
we give Britain S2,00O0 100000 1t is
strange how some people seem to
think that money is the cure for all

aid without giving sufficient aid to
meet the compulsion of the hour
would be disastrous and would prove
worse than no aid at all We have
got to give whatever aid may be

100 Sewage Employees
Join Baltimore Strike

Is Let to Priyute
Concern by City
By the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE. Feb. 20.-A strike
OF 1,l00 trash and garbage collectors
spread today, with 100 sewage de-
partment employees staging sym
pathy Walkout" and reports that
water and highway department en-
ploveS also might be called out.
The walkOut of some sewage de-
partment workers followed the city's
award last night of trash-removal
contract to a private firm. City
officials said the firm could hire the
present personnel of the Street
Cleaning Bureau.
Trash and garbage collectors
walked out Yesterday in protest of
the dismissal of Owen Finnegan,
district supervisor and president of
the Baltimore Street Cleaners
Labor Social Association.
Mr.. Finnegan termed the private
contract award IAN idle threat to
coerce us into going back to work
It's too late to do that now. The
contractor would have to take over
the entire city, for the other de-
partments are coming out with us"
Mr.. Finnegan said water, sewage
and highway department employees
also were members of the labor-so-
cial association and highway en-
ployes will be next to be asked to
walk out in sympathy
George Fink. sewage department
supervisor, said We're going to
pull in some more men and keep the
services going"
Spokesman for the trash and
garbage collectors said the men
would not work for the private firm.
The Walkout by the employees
after Mr.. Finnegan's dismissal by
George Cobb, chief engineer of Bal
timore. was the third strike by the
workers since Thanksgiving day.
The Board of Estimates awarded
the contract to a private firm just
before midnight after municipal
officials had conferred all day in an |
attempt to end difficulties with the /
city employees. The contract system I
had been abandoned December 81,

The effect of Tokio's recent ap-

There is no mistaking the heart
ening influence on British morale of
the arrival of imposing numbers
OF Australian troops and bombers
to assist in the defense of this fort
ress. There is an air of confidence
here which was lacking six months
ago. The British are counting heav-
