Philadelphia Offices Leased
By U. S. Agencies for 8 Years

Eight-year leases have been signed
for new once quarters OF two Fed
eral agencies being transferred to
Philadelphia, 1t was learned today.
The job Of moving the Securities
and Exchange Commission and It's
400 employees to Philadelphia was
started today. The commission will
occupy the Penn Athletic Club. on
Rittenhouse Square. The Govern
ment signed an s-year lease for the
building. The s. e. c. Is housed here
at 1778 Pennsylvania avenue, 7lS
Eighteenth street NV. and other
locations. The move will require
about three weeks.
The War Department will take
over the Pennsylvania avenue build
ing.
Moving started last Saturday for
the immigration and Naturalization
Service. An s-year lease on the
Pennsylvania Building in Philadel-
phia was signed for the agency,
which has more than 1000 employees.
II hope this doesn't mean We will
have an eight-year war" remarked
a spokesman for the Public Buildings
Administration, which Is handling
the decentralization moves.
Evening star., 1942-03-05

The State Department has had
no illusions about the intention
of the Vichy government to
throw in It's lot with Berlin.
There have been plenty OF in
dications in the last few weeks
that In the course Of this month
we may flnd the French fleet
operating on the side Of the
Axis.
Leahy Is Sterner.
This conviction that the
Vichy governments attitude has
grown definitely pro-Nazi finds
illustration in the recognition Of
Gen. Charles de Gaulle's influ-
ence in the French possessions In
the Pacific. Furthermore, the
sterner attitude of our Ambassa-
dor in Vichy, Admiral Leahy, in
dealing with the Vichy govern
ment was the result Of informa-
ton that 1t is useless hence
forth to hope that Admiral Dar-
Ian can be prevented from col
laborating with our enemies.
American diplomatic and con-
sular officers, together with our
observers in North Africa, re-
ported to Washington that this
collaboration was not fully In
dorsed by the French people.
The latest anti-Nazi outbreaks in
Paris and other towns in Occu-
pied France, while Of not great
consequence in themselves, indi-
Gated a state Of mind which
might have been exploited even
tually to our advantage.
American agents-official and
otherwise-and American prop
aganda broadcaSts have told the
French people that they could
always count on our friendship
and that the United Nations,
while opposed to a Fascist French
government which was trying
to seal the French people in the
grip Of their traditional enemy,
had a deep sympathy for France
in her plight, and that the
blockade which was applied
against French civilians was
necessary in order to defeat the
Axis.
Had Confidence in America.
There was q fairly large group
OF people. especially in Occupied
France, who believed this was
true. And while those people
were not particularly fond Of the
British they had confidence In
the American people.

The Navy announced yesterday
that elimination flight training at

War Materials From U. 5.
Will Go 10 Cuba Soon

HAVANA, March 5 (P).-Cuba soon
will receive 100000 worth of war
materials from the United States,
Minister of State jose Manuel Cor
tina announced last night on leaving
the Presidential Palace after a con-
ference with President Batista.
Minister Cortina said the ma.
terials included vessels, artillery,
planes and other military equip
ment," to be delivered to Cuba under
the terms Of the lease-lend agree
ment signed between Cuba and the
United States several weeks before
the two countries declared war on
Japan after the attack on Pearl
Harbor.
Cortina did not reveal the num-
Der OF planes or vessels involved,
but he did say some Of the military
and naval equipment would reach
Cuba shortly" and that the rest
was still under construction"

tacks are being made by the
British until after they occur.
Many in Washington diplo-
matte quarters feel the partici-
patton Of France in the world
conflict may come any day. But
instead Of being a furtive move
by a small group from Vichy, it
may now have the approval Of a
large section Of France, a sec
ton which, II it continued to
hold friendly feelings toward the
Allies, could have been most
useful TO us when in the distant
future We may think Of opera
tions on the European mainland.
Furthermore, it is feared the
repercussions Of the British
bombardment may be disastrous
in Africa, where the loyalty Of
the French forces to Vichy is
still doubtful. These troops do
not have the necessary military
equipment to oppose the Nazis,
but they could become an i'm
portant asset in Nazi hands II
they were convinced that they
must fight . greater enemy than
Germany. namely, the United
Nations.

This Changing World
R. A. F. Bombordment Of Paris Moy Speed
French Active Cooperation With Nozis

The policy Of the American
Government was to keep this
feeling alive. We may have to
fire eventually at French ships
manned by French sailors; we
may even have to fight French
soldiers, II they are employed
against us by the Nazis; but our
diplomats were careful to refrain
from any overt act against
French civilians.
The bombardment of Paris Is
considered in Washington rs
having played into the hands
Of the Axis powers at the most
critical period in French United
Nations relations. Paris is
fetish with the French; it is still
ia cite lumiere" (the city which
radiates Light. To the men in
the provinces and colonies, Paris
is the embodiment of French
culture and whether British
bombs fall on the city itself or
In its suburbs is a matter Of
indifference, especially when
the Darlan-Hitler machine can
easily shift the location where
the bombs fell q few miles for
propaganda purposes.
Ignorant on Local Attacks.
1t Is natural that the United
States should not be informed
beforehand of r. A. r. opera
tions. The united command of
the Allies deals with the larger
scope Of Allied strategic prob
lens. When, and If, an expedi-
tionary force to the European
continent is decided on, the
British and American Govern
ments will discuss plans and
means for such operations in
detail. But for the time being,
we do not know what local at

risking many of those.
The Dutch did not make the mis-
take Of trying to hold every inch
of beach. They held back then
main land forces for counterattack
nung in their bombers and theil
small naval squadron to cause the
maximum losses to the invasion
fleet, regardless Of risk to them
selves, and then struck heavily with
their troops at the Japanese who got
ashore.
All Of this was SO closely in ac-
cordance with the accepted tactical
theories for such operations that II
could almost have been written out
In advance. The net result should
be complete success for the de-
fense. if-and 1t Is a very big If
the Japanese could not reinforce
their original landing forces. If the
Dutch and their Allies possessed
additional naval units, especially q
division Of heavy cruisers and q
swarm Of motor torpedo boats; II
they possessed several more groups
Of heavy bombers and 4 few squad
rons Of fighters-if these things were
fact instead Of fancy. then 1t ought
to be possible to throw the Japanese
back into the sea without allowing
substantial reinforcements to reach
them.
Naval Force Impaired.
Unfortunately, the defenders of
Java appear to have shot their naval
bolt in the initial action. There
were only four Dutch cruisers avail
able in the first place; two were lost
and one damaged. There is no sug-
gestion that British, American or
Australian cruisers are present in
any numbers. Originally there were
three United States cruisers on the
Asiatic station, but some Of these
may have been damaged during
previous fighting. The Dutch have
lost several Of their destroyers. Sub
marines alone cannot stop a deter
mined naval thrust The limitations
Of the type are too great, and too
we'll understood.
AS for air operations, much will
depend on whether the Japanese can
establish fighter bases on Java itself.
They do not seem to be functioning
very successfully from Bali, though
they are doing 50 from Sumatra
The two main Japanese thrusts,
in the Indramaya and Rembang
regions, seem to have had to do
without much fighter support. But
there are now hints in the des-
patches from the front that the
Allied air strength is waning, that
Japanese fighters are appearing in
larger numbers. 1t is quite possible
that the Allies suffered heavy
bomber losses in their attacks on
the invasion fleets, and that now
they do not have enough bombers
to prevent the japanese from set
ting up fighter bases on the coastal
plains into which the invaders have
penetrated, as the German bombers
prevented the British from doing in
Norway. OF course, the Japanese

machine in Chicago is backing
Representative McKeogh for the
senatorial nomination, and there
seems no doubt now he will get
it-although downstate Demo-
Gratis look askance at the nomina-
ton. Paul Douglas Of the faculty
of Chicago University, "leftist,"
has announced his candidacy, too.
At one time, Mayor Kelly Of
Chicago, who is a large part Of
the Kelly-Na organization, had
; an ambition to be nominated for
Governor. 1t is reported, how
ever, that President Roosevelt
did not approve. Anyway. Mayor
Kelly finally announced he would
not be a candidate.
Brooks in Lead.
Senator Brooks, Republican,
the encumbent, who was elected
In 1910 to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of the late Senator
James Hamilton Lewis, Demo-
crat, is a candidate to succeed
himself. Warren Wright, State
treasurer, is a candidate against
him for the G. o. P. nomination.
Senator Brooks was one Of the
leading opponents Of American
entry into the war, before Pearl
Harbor. The Presidents foreign
policy was denounced by him
again and again. He has the
backing Of the Chicago Tribune.
He will have the opposition Of
both the Chicago Daily News and
the new Marshall Field paper,
the Chicago Sun. That goes for
both the primary and the elec-
ton. in all probability. Brooks is
q veteran Of the last war. He
was wounded a number Of times
and has been awarded practically
all the military honors possible.
The prospects are he will be re-
nominated, despite the opposi-
ton, and then he will have to
fight it out with Representative
McKeogh. who has been . strong
supporter Of the Presidents
policy.
Here will be q contest which
brings directly into the fore
ground the issue Of isolationism
versus the policy which has been
pursued by the President. There
seems no doubt the administra-
ton forces will do their utmost
to cause the defeat of Senator
Brooks.
Norris May Run Again.
Senator George Norris OF Ne
braska will be q candidate for the
Senate once again If his friends
have their way. The veteran
Senator, now 81 years old, has
said he would not be 4 candidate
for reelection. He has not said,
however, that under no crcum-
stances will he run. Six years
ago President Roosevelt declared
that Senator Norris should be
continued in the Senate as long
as he lives, and it was largely
because Of the Presidents in
sistance that Senator Norris be-
came a candidate, as an inde-
pendent, at that time. II he runs
again, and there are plenty of
prophesies that he will, 1t will be
as an independent. He could
not have . Republican nomina-
ton and he would not take a
Democratic one. In the past he
was elected as q Republican. He
Is IN the Navy Hospital now for
. checkup and . rest. There is
growing activity for his re-elec-
ton In the State.

that mistakes shall be called con-

pective of party or economic back

The Political Mill
Lines Are Forming in Pivotal Stotes
For the Political Campaign Of 1912
BY GOULD LINCOLN.

BY GOULD LINCOLN.
Political lines are shaping rap
idly for the fall elections in two
Of the so-called pivotal" States
Illinois and Pennsylvania. In
Illinois there is a contest for q
Senate seat, and for all the men,
bers Of the House delegation. In
Pennsylvania. it Is a contest for
Governor and all the House men,
bers. Two years ago, the Re-
publicans in Illinois elected q
Governor, q Senator and 16 out
Of the 27 members Of the House
Notwithstanding the fact that
President Roosevelt carried the
State against Wendell Willkie. At
the same election, the Democrats
reelected Senator Guffey and
won in 10 congressional districts
to Is for the Republicans.
The elections two years ago
represented a gain for the Re-
publicans in Illinois, Is compared
to those Of 1898, and a loss for
them in Pennsylvania. 1t empha-
sized the fact that the New Deal
ers were losing ground in the
agricultural States Of the Middle
West, while retaining their grasp
on the industrial States OF the
East.
Test in Pennsylvania.
Within a short time. there will
be test Of present political senti-
ment in Pennsylvania. Two va
cancies In the House are to be
filled by special election, one in
the 23d district and the other in
the 18th district. Both these
districts have been held by Demo-
Gratis. Former Representative
McArdle, Democrat, who has be-
come a member OF the City Coun-
Gil of Pittsburgh, won in this
district in 1910, 10000 to $1,000 IL
round numbers. The Democrats
in the 18th district won 101 900
to $4,000. II the Republicans show
gains in these coming by-elec-
tions, they will be seized upon as
straws showing the way the wind
Is blowing. The election In the
23d district has been set for
May 10.
Pennsylvania elected q Repub-
lican Governor In 1898 and q
Republican Senator, not to men,
ton q majority Of the House
delegation. The Republican Sem
ator, James J. Davis, Secretary
of Labor in three Republican
administrations, is candidate
for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton. If he wins the nomina-
ton, he will be a hard man
for any Democrat to beat.
Gen. Edward Martin. who has
been active for years in Pennsyl-
vania politics, has announced he,
too, will enter the primary. On
the Democratic side, there IS .
healthy row in prospect. Sem
ator Guffey has q candidate,
Common Pleas Judge Ralph H.
Smith of Pittsburgh. DR.. Luther
A. Harr of Philadelphia. at pres
ent bituminous coal consumers
counsel in Washington, has an
nounced his candidacy. Auditor
General N. Clair Ross, who Is sup
ported by q majority Of the Dem
ocratic State Committee, Is ex-
pected to have the backing OF the
committee for the nomination.
Four years ago the Democrats
split badly in their primary con-
test for the subernatorial nomi-
nation-which did them no good
in the election that followed. It
looks like history may repeat
itself.
