It should be noted that the re-
action in this country to recent
Japanese aggression has produc-
cd an astonishing change of SEN
iment in Congress. Whereas the
naval proposal to improve har-
')ors at Guam and Samoa has
been held up in previous years
on account of the possible effect
upon Japan, the House of Repre-
aentatives last week unanimous
" approved these preliminary
steps which plainly indicate that
the United States intends to for
iify itself in the Pacific regard
less of japanese sonsibilities.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1941-02-27

Recent activities in the Far
East indicate that the Japanese
have arrived at the threshold of
a great military venture which
probably includes the seizure of
The Netherlands East Indies and,
possibly, direct attack upon the
British naval base at Singapore.
The British, together with Aus
tralian and New Zealanders, are
preparing for a last-ditch stand
against the advancing tide of Jap
anese aggression. There is a
general belief that the United
States will become involved if
actual hostilities begin between
Great Britain and Japan over
Tokyo's aggression program.

'LEND.LEASE" BILL AIMS
CAUSE OR AVOID WAR?
PERIL IN FAR EAST

Final passage of the Lend
Lease Bill is expected this week,
with the result that assistance to
Great Britain will be Immediately
speeded and interesting announce
mentS can be expected. The leg
islation is based upon acceptance
of the idea that the defense of
the United States requires the
continued resistance of the Brit
ish people. Consequently, mate
rial assistance will be dispatched
to strengthen British resources in
their weakest categories.
When the question of aid to
Great Britain is considered, one
of the first problems is produc-
ton Of the necessary supplies.
This is being taken care of and,
In time, the volume of supplies
will be tremendous Afterwards,
and just as important if the
Strategy of this country is to
Succeed, comes the question of
delivery. Here the intensive SUBJ
marine and aerial campaign of
Nazi Germany against British
ships casts an ominous shadow
across the American purpose,
The Lend-Lease Bill has been
described by supporters as a
measure designed to keep this
country out of war and by OPP
ponents as a device to put us in
10 the war. Obviously, there is a
measure of truth in both asser-
tons. Behind the unusual statute
is the realization that the fate of
this country will be endangered
by Germany's victory and, conse-
quently, steps short of war which
prevent Hitler's triumph protect
the United States.

That may not signify much, but 1t is clear that resolute counter propaganda is sweeping this coun- try whose German influence is perhaps the strongest in Central America. Posters of the British fleet, and of British soldiers as defenders of freedom are in many store windows: Free French proc- lamations by General De Gaulle are equally evident,
 The Official News Bulletin of the British Legation is distributed at all hotels (except one, which is Nazi headquarters); all three papers of the capital (that is to say all three daily papers of the entire republic) are anti-AXis.
 The German consulate has ceased its practice of distributing its news bulletin in the street in front of its central downtown location, and now reaches only subscribers.
 NAZI SYMPATHIZERS
 OFF BANK BOARD
 An American, Lea E. Whitbeck, and c Swede, now sit on the board of directors of the Central Bank of Guatemala, from which four Ger man directors were recently re- moved.
 Christian zinsSer, who helped soften up the Poles just before the invasion, has gone from the hedge-screene German Legation where he intrigued after being ki:ked out of Honduras last March.
 zinSser had sinister reputa- ton in Central American, and there are tales of several suicides or sudden deaths in German cir- cles shortly after zinsser had for- clbly presented to reluctant Ger men residents the virtues of Hit- lerism and the 6esirability of ad- herring to 1t.
 But he Is gone from Guatemala TOW, probably to Japan, and Ger man interests are now in charge t< the more urbane pr. Otto Rei- nebeck, NazI minister to all Gen. tral America, and Gerhard Hent- schke, commercial attache, who are more devoted to orthodox and carefully legal methods of procedure.

 There is small group of def- nitely anti-Nazi Germans, many of whom have already suffered from the Nad terror in Germany, and whose relations with the pre- dominant Nazl group of Germans in such that hotel and restaurant proprietorS have to exercise g good deal of diplomacy in keep ing them widely separated when they might meet in public.
 German propaganda Is, however, quiescent at the moment, in regard to the war. It centers on trying to alienate Guatemala from the United States, and in charging the United States with bringing de- pressed business conditions to the country through the blacklist and with threatening the sovereignty of the country.
 American residents, of whom there are only 1700 as contrasted with l7000 Germans, do not trust this quies:e1t phase, but expect some further Na2l move at any time.
