FRIDAY
Three Senators Report

The reports brought back to Wash
1ngton by three members of the SEN
atorial Committee which has visited
all the battlefrontS are arreSting.
Meeting with representatives of the
press these Senators, two Democrats
and one Republican, have given
prevlew of more formal report they
plan to make to the Senate. The
Senators are Senators Russell of
Georgia, Senator Mead of New York
and Senator Brewster of Maine. The
mere mention of their names is suff1-
clent to indicate that when they
speak as one, political partisanship
has been thrown out of the window.
Running through the comments of
the three Senators is the underlying
theme that now is the time-not
later-When tough postwar prob
lens, as well as the immediate prob
iemS OF the war, should be the sub
Ject OF adjustment among the
United Nations. This is sound sense,
unless there is to be a devastating
scramble for advantage after hostil-
tiles shall have ceased.
Particularly did they mention the
question of postwar aviation. This
country has poured out millions of
dollars for the construction of air
bases in many parts of the world,
many of them constructed by the
American armed forces. Yet six
months after the war ends, Ameri-
cans will have no right to use these
aIrfieldS-unleSS some ARRANGEMENTS
are made with the countries in which
they are located. This does not apply
to air bases in islands in the West
ern Hemisphere, but even in those
cases where we have ninety-nine
year lease-the bases may be used
only for military purposes. 1t was
pointed out that even today, Ameri-
can commercial planes may not use
air bases which we have constructed.
or financed, in Africa.
Still another vital problem, accord
Ing to the Senators, is the present
use of petroleum. This country is
supplying IS per cent of all the oil
used IN the WARMTH the result that
the Oil reserves of the United States
are being tremendously depleted.
Indeed, since Pearl Harbor, the un-
foreground reserves of 10000 900 900
barrels have been cut to 10000 ,OOO,-
600 barrels or less, they estimated.
While this has been going on the
greatest oil reserves in the world"
located in countries around the Per-
sian Gulf, are being tapped compare
lively little. While American COM
panies have interests in these oil
reserves of the Middle East, mostly
they are owned and controlled bv the
British.
The Senator'S, after their 100000
mile trip which took them around
the world and from the arctic re-
glons to the equator, estimated that
the war with Japan may last until
1945 or even later. The conflict with
Hltler's Europe may end much SOON
er. These are guesses, based on the
best military information they could
obtain.
OF more vital interest, however, is
their lnsistence that something be

and diplomatic positions in the post

War Struteoy

Senate Majority Leader Barklev
acted wisely yesterday in blocking
action" on a resolution that would
have put two Senate committees to
work, quizzing military leaders on
the relative merits of air raids and
land invasions in winning the war.
The proposal was offered by Sena-
tor DoWney, Democrat. of California,
at the end OF a tWo-day speech, in
which he sought to show that the
Axis powers could be knocked out of
the war by concentrated air bomb
Ing, and with smaller casualties than
will result from land invasions. He
was arguing against the need for
drafting fathers for larger Army.
No one will disagree with Senator
Downey in his desire to achieve vic
tory with the least possible loss of
life among our fighting men. That
is the hope of every American in or
out Of Congress.
But no legislative committee how
ever well intentioned, should become
a board of strategy, or take the mill
tary leaders away from their hercu-
lean task of directing the war, to
debate this or that method of VIM
ming.
The powerful blows delivered
against German cities in the past
year, as Allied air strength has
grown, does not indicate any lack of
appreciation by our military leaders
of the value of bombing raids.
But the detailed moves that will be
necessary to finish the job must be
kft to the men who have spent a life

and those who misgovern occupied ter
ritory, and thus provide definite incen-
tive to surrender rather than fight to
the bitter end at the cost of many more
hundreds of thousands of innocent lives,
including American lives?
Some urge that regardless of such cost
the war go on until the Prussian mill
tarists have been wiped out But this
is not necessary in view of our determ-
ination, now being affirmed by Congress,
henceforth to participate in world affairs
so effectively that neither Prussian nor
Nipponese military clique can ever en-
danger us again.
HoBH70 6. HELD,
Evening star., 1943-10-01
Britain Rops Argentina

The Ramirez regime at Buenos
Aires, still smarting from the rebuff
administered to it by Secretary of
State Cordell Hull month ago, has
now received a similar rap from the
British Foreign Office. The occasion
was the signing of a commercial
agreement providing for the pur-
chase by the British government of
Argentina'S exportable surplus of
eggs. Offhand, that would seem to
have no logical connection with Ar
eentine foreign policy. Nevertheless,
the Foreign Office took this as an
opportunity for telling the Argentine
government just what it thought of
the covertly pro-Axis neutrality per-
sisted in by the Ramirez regime and
the previous administration.
The reason may perhaps be found
in certain financial gestures made by
Argentina which were calculated to
win favor with British banking and
investment circles. Economic rela-
tionS between Britain and Argentina
are traditionally close. The Argen-
tine was largely developed by British
capital, and Britain is Argentinas
best customer for its meat and dairy
products. This market has been in
creased during the war, Argentina
being a major source of supply for
those vital foodStuffs. Shortly before
the signing of the egg contract, a
similar meat agreement was nego-
tiated.
AS a result of all this, Argentina
has built up huge credit in London.
The Argentine government recently
decided to apply 80 million pounds
sterling (l20 million dollars of this
credit against sterling foreign debt
bonds, mostly in British hands. That
naturally boosted the credit rating of
Argentine securities in the eyes of
British bondholders "a refreshing
contrast with other happenings in
this war-Shaken world.
However, the Foreign Office makes
1t plain, both to Buenos Aires and to
every one else, that commercial and
financial transactions favorable to
Britain do not Offset other practices
highly Injurious to the interests of
Britain and the rest of the United
Nations. Accordingly, His Majesty's
government informs Buenos Aires
that the meat and egg contracts
should not be taken as having anv
political significance" and goes on
to express its disappointment at
neutrality policy which leaves Axis
nationals still free to conspire on
Argentine soil against the interests
and security of the United Nations"
The note goes on to complain of GER
tain acts inimical to British interests
IN Argentina, demands their cessa-
ton, and ends with the hope that in
the international sphere the Argen
tine government will at an early date
range itself wholeheartedly on the
side OF freedom loving nations"
This plain speaking from London
is especially gratifying to the United
States as ranging the British govern
ment solidly behind Secretary Hulls
strong diplomatic stand toward the
Ramirez government, when he re-
fused lease-lend aid or other favors
SO long as its foreign policy remained
maltered. Argentina must learn that
its diplomatic isolation is complete
and that the consequences will be-
come increasingly unfortunate until
its proAxis neutrality is abandoned.

Urges Considerations
For Animals.


To the Editor of The Star
On october world day for animals
will be observed. This day is the ann.-
versary of the death of st. Francis of
Assist, patron saint of animals, who
died more than seven centuries ago after
life devoted to the service of all, both
human and animal. His example of COM
passion and gentleness to suffering and
exploited animal life might we'll be an
example to men and women today.
In world torn with the suffering that
war brings, it is not too much to ask
that we consider for a moment the
ceaseless warfare which man has waged
against helpless animals
Animals have, indeed. been mans best
friends. Loyal and faithful servants.

they are frequently sho: or otherwise

The answer must be that for the

health. We accept these gifts from
animals but never stop to consider that
they also have rights.
Do not these animal friends of man

siderate care? Have they not the right

parativelv meatless regime that Europe
and England exist on today. it is not

too much to ask that they be given
painless death and in such way that
they shall not know the agony that the
fear of death brings? Our clothiers have
learned how to make imitation fur and

mails for their furs is unnecessary
Leather substitutes have also been de-
veloped.

that we unwittingly perpetuate cruelty
as part of our common human hered-

To the Editor Of The Star:
That picturesque statesman, Senator

from his colleagues, this opines the HON.

And some of us may recall how the BOYS

spell ago make few cutting remarks in

succeeded in switching to their con-
stltuents small Navy order for canned

friendship of our most powerful South

what the lads from the great open spaces

Russia, the French commission or with

While one enjoys under our peculiar form
of representative government many great
blessings We Americans do expect to put

barrassing drawbacks For in permitting
each State to hold without regard to its

representation in our highest taking
body we do flout the law of probabilities.
While We get great mass of able, patri-

frequently seeing the dignified toga of
