5. Introduction of a resolution by
Senator Danaher (R. Conn., to
make public the general report and
findings given the Senate yesterday
in secret by Senator Russell.
With Lodge absent, Brewster
criticized his Massachusetts, col
league for giving the 1000 000-man
casualty estimate at yesterday S
closed session. Brewster said that
he had not heard any responsible
military man in the Pacific men
ion that figure.
In addition, Brewster said that
Gen. George C. Marshall, Army
chief of staff, had asked the tour
ing senators in conference yes
terday not to mention the matter
of Siberian bases. Brewster allud-
ed to the fact that Lodge is re-
serve officer, adding that he ought
to follow the ideas of his COM
manding officer.
BreWster'S remarks provoked ap-
plause, particularly from Admins
tration supporters, and caused Sen
ator johnson (R-CaliD to remark
when ne arose to defend Lodge,
that he had noted Barley leading
the applause. Johnson. who served
with the Massachusetts senators
grandfather when the Versailles
treaty was debated after the last
war, said he was confident of
Lodges integrity.
Chandler also came TO Lodge
defense with the declaration that
he did not believe the MaSsachu-
sets senator would have mention
ed the figure if he had not had
good reason to do so.
However, Russell and Mead sup
ported Brewsters criticism. add
ing that at least one military man
had said that it might be extremely
difficult for the Russians to de-
fend Siberian air bases from the
japanese in the battle that surely
would follow opening of such areas
to the Allies.
The days session got underway
with a Commute discussion of the
news leaks which had followed
yesterdays closed meeting, with
Senator Maloney (D.-Conn.) join
ing Lucas and Barley in criticiz-
ing those who had talked to news
paper men. AS a result some SEN
ators later said tF.y didn't want
to be seen with IMPORTERS but 9TH
ers discussed the proceedings fully.
Brewster. who reported f 7
Chandler had made his talk, was
critical Of American economic and
diplomatic efforts abroad. as com
pared with the more apt methods
he said were employed by the
British.
In discussing the operations OF
Lend-Lease, Brewster said h
large quantities Of oil and gasoline
had been sent to one South Pa
cific island where they were not
needed He said that in some in
stances trucks had been transport
ed to islands and left there to rust
and in others. the wrong size tires
had been furnished for trucks.
The debate swung into discus
sion of policy when Brewster call
ed attention TO the forthcoming tri-
partite conference and suggested
it would be wise if the Senate
gave Secretary of State Hull sup
port through the passage of res
olution.

UP and DOWN PARISH STREET

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: Stopping in one of my
favorite Fish and Beer places, me
and some fellows got to talking
about Negro business and business
methods they use. AS it happened,
/ had just had an experience with
one that had put me to thinking
on the general subject. The other
day walked into one of our folks
places and bought cigar, and
asked for a match. The boss man
told me he didn't have any match
eS open. When l asked him to give
me a match the second time, he
told me, When 1 bought them CT
gars, didn't nobody give me Moth
ing" Then he told me he didn't
give no matches with cigars. Since
then, | have gone in a number of
places I hadn't gone in before to
buy cigars, just to see if I could
find that this is the only place in
bought cigar. they wouldn't give
you a match. From my efforts,
find that thsi is the only place in
town. Here is an instance where
match given to customer is a
means of creating and perhaps
maintaining good will" yet this
Negro business man, the only one
I have discovered in town would
rather take the time to explain his
rules than to give a couple Of
matches for the good will of his
business and patrons.
Now, when I want a cigar and
am out that way, I will hardly stop
by his place, and that will be true
of a lot of cigar smokers. Maybe
though, it would be better to say
as the monkey said to the ele-
plant: MY people, my people!'
