Conferees0rder
DC. Site for Six
Defense Offices
Final Action Likely
Today on Measure
Providing Buildings

The group of six temporary Gov
ernment Office buildings provided for
in the fifth supplemental defense
bill will be erected within the Dis
trict of Columbia, under an agree
ment reached late yesterday by
House and Senate conferees.
When the Senate added S4,10o,0o0
to the defense bill several days ago
for the new Office space, it gave the
Public Buildings Administration dis
cretion to locate the buildings in or
near" the District of Columbia, and
it was reliably reported use of Gov
ernment land in Arlington County,
Va, was being considered as the
site.
The conferees retained the re-
quirement that land already owned
by the Government be used. but re-
quired selection of a location within
the District. No indication was
given at the Capitol as to possible
locations.
Six Frame Buildings.
officials testified during Senate
hearings that they plan to erect
six frame buildings, two stories high,
containing 900 square feet Of
Office space.
The House is expected to act early
today on the conference report, and
it may also reach the Senate for
ratification late this afternoon.
The need for the temporary Office
space grows out Of expansion Of
Government agencies since the be-
ginning of the defense program.
/ Boom Effects Cited.
When first indications to place the
six buildings on the Arlington Ex-
perimental Farms in nearby Vir-
/ ginia was known, Arlington County
officials frankly admitted the sud-
den boom might be embarrassing to
the county.
Particularly, said county officials,
sewage disposal facilities at the Four
Mile Run plant, would not handle
the extra load that would result
from the Office buildings and the
private housing that would follow
IN Une county.
Police facilities would have had to
be expanded, also. and schools and
roads would not have been adequate
to provide for the sudden new in
crease in population, officials said.
There was hope that with passage
of the community facilities" bill
now in the House Committee on
Public Buildings and Grounds some
of the s15O,000 900 might be expend-
ed to allow Arlington County to
catch up with its new population.
1000 More Pupils Seen.
School officials had estimated that
an annual budget of 81 1888 ,470 might
be necessary to carry on the edu-
cational work under the expected
conditions. The 194l budget was
s63O,00O, and Supt. Fletcher Kemp
estimated that 1000 additional chill
dren might be enrolled.
In addition to general school op-
Grafton, the question of Fairgrounds
had been considered by County
Manager Frank Hanrahan. He men,
toned a $4,000 item for purchase
of park land in his budget estimates
and said some of the land might be
used for Fairgrounds.
While the bill acted upon today
does not affect the construction
of one office building at Suitland
Md. for which funds already have
been appropriated. it may set a
precedent that will prevent further
expansion outside the District in
the future Preliminary plans for
seven additional buildings had been
made

MEMORABLE LOGIC

The mask is off at last. The Nozis
have announced thot they will shoot
any or all Porisions, regardless Of race
or politics, if attacks on German troops
Of occupation continue.
Thot was inevitable. No army &C.
cupyine q foreign country could foil to
toke steps, including the most hideous,
to protect its occupying troops This is
not the point at which we should be
shocked.
The time to have been shocked was
when man believed he could conquer
other countries and make them like it,
and octed on thot belief. Though half
the population of Poris we're led out
ond shot tomorrow, it would be only
the inexorobIy logical outcome Of the
decision to invade in the first place.
One man on Sept 1889, made that
decision.

A DEAL WITH JAPAk3

Obviously, some kin0 OF ne9ot'o-
lions are being Carried on with japan.
For some reason, the tradition hos
orown up thot such negotiations can't
be corried on in doyIieht, SO we must
guess as to what they may be.
Japan seems reody to "liquidote
the Chinese incident" Thot is q nice
way of saying that in four years she hos
her belly full of war with united
China, and would like to saw off and
be content with only port Of the swog.
Something like this might be in the
wind:
SUPPOSE Japan quit the Axis and
the United Stotes recognized the con-
quest of Monchurio? This buffer coun-
try, which hos always been more Of q
Russo-Joponese problem than a Sino-
japanese problem, was conquered in
1873 and set up as on independent"
stooqe japanese "empire" in 1888. At
that time the southern China govern
ments had no real control over it; China
was unable to unite in its defense.
The United Stotes has already
promised China to waive all rights OF
extraordinarily in Chino proper, and
there is rumor that the United Stotes
court at Shanghai, which has dispensed
American Justice to Americans in thot
area for IS years, is about to be closed
That is all right But it is all right only
if Japan should clear out Of China CON-
pIeteIy, forfeiting all similar extro-ter-
ritoriol rights.
French Indo-Chino is another mat
ter. Here Japan has simply picked up
the fruit that fell from the rotten tree
Of France. Indo-Chino is too close to
the Philippines for the United States
to be Indifferent to it's fote. 1t is hard
to see how we could agree to it's transfer
to Japanese control, though there is no
reason to take q stond for Vichy, either.
But what Of Chino9 Is the United
Stotes going to put itself in the posi-
ton Of the British and French selling
Czechoslovokio down the river without
its consent? Thot mistake must not be
made again. 1t would be immoral, in
decent, and unwise to boot, to make
ony deal with Japan which ignored
China. We have extended pledges of
old to China, and the one thing thot
must not be lost is the value Of our
pledged word. The word of too many
countries today is at discount. We
must not allow thot to happen to our
own
Whatever dealings ore going on
today With Japan land we can only
guess at them) there must be no deal
arranged without the knowledge Of
China, or without it's express consent
A new world" bosed on disregard Of
and betrayal Of pledges will never be
any better than the world of the post
20 years.
