It was suggested elsewhere that some misunderstanding may have occurred in nasty conversations among the men involved, but that when a course of action finally is determined upon, it will at the views of all concerned.
 The confused status of the mat ter at this time was seized upon by Senate opponents of the British aid bill.
 Sen. Robert A. Taft, R., O., and others said they would renew their fight in the Senate to put into the bill a restriction to make certain that no present U. s. navy ships can be sold, leased or given away. The foreign relations committee had defeated such an amendment.
 MT. Roosevelt, said by Early to be thoroughly informed concern ing the question of British destroyer needs" holds his first press confer ence today (10:30 a. I11) since the controversy started. He will be gtv- en an opportunity then to reveal his own stand, although Early said he believed it would be some time" before the naval transfer question is decided.
 Senate Debates Monday
 Congressional action on the Brit ish-aid bill awaits the beginning of senate debate Monday. The major- ity of the senate committee filed It's report last night. Immediately, opponents of the bill centered their fire on the ad- ministration's refusal to guarantee against further depletion" of the fleet or to offer reasSurances that American soldiers, sailors and fliers will not be sent outside the western hemisphere to fight.
 The majority report said the bill was not "a war measure, but 8 practical safeguard aimed at keep ing us out of war" and that 1t con- tained no authority for sending American troops, under any circm- stances, to fight on foreign soil" : But. Sen. Gerald P. Nye, R., N. D., asked why the majority had turned down the Ellender amend ment declaring that nothing in the bill authorized the sending of U. s. armed forces outside the United States, its territories and possess sions, and the western hemisphere.
 obviously, there is thought in some minds at least that the course outlined in the grant of power con- templated in the present bill con- templates the possibility of the need of troops or for our naval establish ment in an aggressive way in parts of the world remote from this hem- isphere and our possessions, includ- ing the Philippines" Nye said. "There can be no other construc- ton than that to the opposition to the Ellender proposal"

 Spain,s food situation is serious. Spain has neither a strong fleet nor R strong air force. Its long civil war depleted military supplies.

 Japan Will Strike 1 London, Feb. A. (UP)-Diplo- Rnatic quarters today predicted a Japanese attack on the Netherlands East Indies and British Singapore, timed with German drive into Bulgaria and perhaps Jugoslavia to force Greece to make peace with Italy.
 Tt was evident that all the way from Singapore to Hong Kong, by way of Australia, the British em- pire was preparing for an imminent Japanese move-one which would be taken despite the belief here that It might align the United States as well as Great Britain against Japan.
 Singapore reported it was taken for granted there that the Japanese would strike soon, and the Australian war cabinet held an emergency meeting in consultation with the chiefs of the fighting services to consider what was called a situation of the greatest gravity.

 Some Misgivings
 Matsuoka said that misgivings re- garding clauses barring German and Italian aid to Japan in event of a RuSso-Japanese war were under standable but he said that when it was formulated article five en- visaged adjustment of all Russo Japanese difficulties.
 Responding to questions in the budget committee of the lower house of Parliament, Matsuoka said that "the Soviets are slow tempered and accordingly it is taboo for us to be- come impatient in dealing with them"
 "The Soviets seem to have recog- nized Japan's true intentions of settling our differences in earnest" Matsuoka said.
 Russia also has taken the at titude of accelerating conclusion of a commercial pact, which was hope less last year. Negotiations in this connection have been making fair progress.
 Regarding the Manchukuo-Sov border and the Saghalien Oil issues, we would like to Start negotiations att he proper opportunity"
 Long Term Agreement
 Matsuoka also expressed hope for a long term fisheries agreement be- tween Japan and Russia. Japanese fisheries now are operating in So- viet far eastern waters under tenn porary extension of previous agreement. He said that mixed commission now was attempting to negotiate long term fishing treaty.
 Diplomacy canont be conducted only on Sf1e basis of agreements, , Matsuoka said. ''It must be based on change in developments from time to time."
 A member of the budget commit tee asked for Matsuoka'S attitude on an alleged suggestion by Soviet Premeir- Foreign Commissar Via cheslav M. Molotov that Japan should renounce her anti-comintern pact.
 "It may easily be imagined that the pact should be renounced from the viewpoint of adjusting Soviet Japanese relations" the foreign minister replied. However, we must not lose track of the pact's importance"

 Though 1t was reported circum- stantially that Generahssimo Fran cisco Franco of Spain, in conference with Benito Mussolini, had refused either to enter the war or to permit Germany to march through Spain to attack Gibraltar, Vichy received a report that German engineers had started to widen the motor bridge over the Bidassoa river between Hendaye, France, and Iron, Spain. This is the bridge over which Ger man troops would march into Spain from the French Atlantic coast.
 Further, dispatch to the Span ish Mencheta Agency from Alge- ciras reported that Gibraltar would hold its first blackout from 10 O. clock tonight until dawn tomorrow as a test. All during the war Gibral- tar had remained lighted, even though Italian planes attacked it several months ago.
 Bulgaria Written Off
 Britain appeared to have written of Bulgaria as loss in the expec- tation that German troops soon would march into it.
 There was report that Bulgaria had asked Turkey for assurances that it would refrain from declaring war if German troops crossed Bull garia.
 (Sofia reported that it was now believed to be merely a matter of days before Germans marched in).
 Hope dwindled that Russia would try to check Germany in the Bal kans. Russian quarters here seemed to watch the situation anxiously. Their attitude indicated that Russia might regard German occupation of Bulgaria as 8 serious strain on Russian German friendship, but there was no indication that Russia would do anything about 1t.

Oasis, British military quarters said

Oasis, British military quarters said today.
 The information indicated that at least two British-Free French units were operating in southern Libya because the air base at Kufra is $50 miles southeast of Trachen.
 Free French headquarters here announced earlier this week that a Free French column from French Equatorial Africa had taken Kufra, 800 miles south of Tobruk. Head quarters of Gen. Charles de Gaulle. leader of Free France, said two weeks ago that a column from Chad had destroyed the Italian outpost at MarZuk and had captured the Italian post at Fl Gatrun, nearly 100 miles southeast of MarZuk.
 First Free French reports of ate tacks on Marzuk and Fl Catrun in- dicated that raiders in early oper- ations had been content to shoot up and destroy Marzuk, moving on then to the occupation of Fl Catrun. Now, however, the information in British military quarters indicated that the Free French forces had been joined by the British and were not only shooting up the Italian desert outposts but were occupying and using them.
 (Vichy reports early this week in- dicated that stiI1 another Free French coluan was operating in western Libya and had attacked Chadames, at the junction of the Libyan, Algerian and Tunisian borders, across from the French positions of Fort Saint. Reports on the activity of this column have not yet been confirmed by British and Free French sourceS.)
