BY GOULD LINCOLN.

The Senate has once again set
up a committee to ride herd on
campaign expenditures. These
committees have functioned every
two years-during the political
campaigns-for many years. They
have been effective in showing
up irregularities and political cor
ruption where they existed, and
by their activities have thrown
the fear of the Senate, If not of
God, into would-be corruptionists.
This years committee is headed
by Senator Ernest w. Mcfarland,
Democrat, of Arizona. Senator
Mcfarland is newcomer to the
Senate. having been elected to
succeed former Senator Ashurst
in 1910. He made his mark, how
ever, as member of special
Senate committee to investigate
charges that the motion picture
industry was engaged in propa-
ganda to get this country into
the war. The committee was
strongly isolationist in sentiment
except for Mr.. Mcfarland, who
was an unknown quantity.

way appearing as an attorney for

The 2,500-mile stretch Of the man

submarine and plane bases but deep
lagoon harbors for battleships. And
protected harbors are vital as bases
for fleet operations, including those
Of aircraft carriers.
Japs Have Important Posts.
Swinging through the Southwest
Pacific, Japan has all the island
harbors directly north of Australia
except two. Facing the Indian Ocean
and the Bay of Bengal, she has all
of the important ports of the Dutch
and British East Indies. Beyond
Surabaya and Batavia she has
Singapore, Penang, the Andaman
Islands and Rangoon in Burma.
This enables her feet to strike out
in concentration from the hub of
the wheel as it were against any at
tack which may approach from the
distances beyond the wheel rim. Her
fleet can refuse to challenge the at
tacking fleet in open battle, hoping
to draw 1t under the fire of land
based aircraft on one of her island
bases.
Her interior line not only allows
quick concentrations on a short line
to given points. The island-studded
area within the rim favors conceal
ment of plans and preparations. 1t
is a help to deceptive feints.

The position of the Japanese bat
tie feet could be likened to that of a
spider in his web, its strands the
channels between the islands. The
spider waits for the fly to get caught
in the web.
Japs Losing Older-Type Ships.
There has been a heavy loss of
Japanese cruisers as the price Of
protecting conquest and occupation
by overseas expeditions, but mostly
these have been Of the older types
or second class. 1t is judged that
the formation of the battle fleet has
not been seriously affected.
The Japanese naval chiefs must
fully realize how vital it Is to hold
the full fighting power of the fleet
intact. They can better spare cruis-
ers than aircraft carriers.
Where the japanese Army has
been expending its planes reck-
lessly the navy has been holding
its air power in leash. The navy
is not limited .. to carrier borne
bombers. 1t looks to four-engine
bombers which are too large for
carriers for defense of its bases.
The obvious policy is to get there
first with the most strength by sor-
ties against exposed smaller units,
which accounted for the loss of two
British cruisers and an aircraft car
rier in the Bay of Bengal. While
Japan has the interior line for naval
concentrations, the navies of the
Allies have many hostages to for
tune in the far-flung points they
must defend.
AS for the army, it looked at
first glance at the map as though
the army was getting far away from
the interior line and sticking out
its neck in Burma. But it knew
its ground and that it had a force
superior to any it would meet.

many Egyptians who contend
that their country should have no
part in the war at all.
AS long as the Axis made only
sporadic raids on the Egyptian
bases with relatively small dam
age to life and property the
reaction against fighting was not
violent. But in the event the
attacks increase greatly, as they
are likely to do in the event of
an all-out Axis offensive in the
Eastern Mediterranean. many
observers wonder how long the
loyalty of the Egyptians to Brit
ain will last.
Cyprus Slated for Attack.
The third objective of Axis
attack undoubtedly will be the
island of Cyprus off the coast of
Syria. Since the fall of Crete
last year this British stronghold
has been adequately fortified
with concealed air fields and a
large air force. British military
authorities are confident the is
land can resist attack for a long
time. Trained troops have been
moved there through the Red
Sea.
The coast of Syria itself is de-
Tended by the British-Free
French force, which is expected
to give a good account of itself
because it has been reinforced
by substantial number of
souadrons since the expulsion of
the Vichy forces last year.
AS there is growing belief in
London that Hitler will play his
best cards in the Mediterranean
in the next few weeks, the de-
fenses of the principal strong
holds are being further strength
ened and, as far as known in
Washington, the United Nations
forces in the Near East are pre-
pared to meet the Axis with bet
ter. chances of success than II
months ago.
The success of the Axis attack
will depend, Of course, on how
much military strength Hitler is
willing to sacrifice. The British
still hope to make his operations
difficult by continuous attacks on
Western Europe and Germany.
Russia is expected to help with
local offensives which she might
be able to exploit if she finds
soft spot in the Nazi lines on the
eastern front.
Nevertheless, the United Ma

1t was a similar committee,
headed by the late Senator Nor
ris Sheppard of Texas in 1898,
which turned up the political ac-
tivities of the w. P. A. in a num-
Der of States and which was in

framing of the first clean elec-

supplemented by further legisla-

other from Illinois. William Ware,
for years political boss in Phila-
delphia, won the Republican SEN

and Frank L. Smith a similar
nomination in Illinois. Reports

huge sums of money were being
expended for these candidates in
the primary elections and later
in the general elections. A Sen

doubtable former Senator Jim"

Illinois case, it was shown that

the campaign fund of Mr.. Smith
had been made by some OF the
large public utilities in the State.

Evidence is accumulating that
a major Axis attack in the Medi-
terranean is not far of.
The tempo of Nazi air raids on
Malta and Alexandria, the prin-
cipal British base in the Eastern
Mediterranean, has been intensi-
fed in the last 10 days.
Axis air patrols, supported by
submarines, have made greater
efforts than ever to prevent sup
ply ships from reaching Valletta.
capital of Malta. While the in
creased air assaults are not ex-
pected to reduce the rocky Brit
ish fortress, 1t is feared that the
total blockade which the Ger
mans and the Italians now are
applying may render its defense
precariouS.
There is no danger of the
islands defenders being starved
out. Sufncient food can be grown
to maintain the population. But
the difficulty of supplying am
munition and replacing artillery,
which, together with the air
force, forms the main defense of
the island, renders the situation
of Malta dangerous. In some
military quarters it is likened
to Bataan.
There are increasing indica-
tions that the Nazis intend to at
tempt parachute landings on sew
eral strategic points The job
admittedly is tough, because the
defenders are hardened and all
the potential fifth columnists,
who at one time might have
caused trouble, have been elm
mated.
Egypt in Perilous Situation.
British military leaders appear
confident that the island can
hold out for long time, provided
the French do not yield the
Tunisian air and naval bases. If
the Axis acquires those bases,
Malta's defense will be largely
nullif1ed, because the island
would be subjected to attacks
from both Sicily and the Tunisian
coast.
The situation in Egypt is more
dangerous. Alexandria and the
other British bases In the East
ern Mediterranean are more vul-
nerable than Malta. The pop
ulation is not so hardened to
raids and many Egyptians have
been infected by Axis propa-
ganda. Besides a large number
