TRUMAN COMMITTEE FIGHT

A hot fight is shaping up IN the
senate over continuation of the Tru-
man committee.
Friends of Jesse Jones, WPB
boss Donald Nelson and others who
have been criticized by the commit
tee have quietly been lining up sup
port In the senate to force a termi-
nation of the Truman investigation
after the next session of congress
convenes.
Enemies of the committee thought
they won a great victory when the
senate voted, two days before ad-
journment, to abolish all of its in
vestigating committees on January
81, 1913.
However, far-sighted Senator Scott
Lucas of Illinois, chairman of the
senate audit and control committee,
who handled this legislation, agreed
privately with Senator Harry S. Tru-
man of Missouri that his committee
will get more funds.
Furthermore, one of the first
things the Truman probers will ex-
anime when the next congress con-
venes will be the administration and
necessity of nationwide gasoline ra-
tioning.

PASS THE AMMUNITION

It hasn't been officially announced
yet, but when Madame Chang Kali
shek, Observation-Disclosures of China"
emerges from the hospital, she plans
to come to Washington and camp at
the White House until she has per-
suaded FDR to pass the amrnuni-
ton.
Madame Chang is a very per-
suasive person. She combines orr
entail charm with a Wellesley edu-
cation. Unquestionably she will be-
come China's "ambassador-in-effect"
in Washington. Already Chinese
Ambassador Wei is wondering
whether he or Madame Chang real
ly represents the Chinese govern
ment.
But while there may be some
doubt on that, there is absolutely no
doubt that China wants more planes
and wants them quickly This time,
it is not the appeal of q desperate
people, but Of people ready to take
the offensive. Chinese military ex-
perts declare that they could do
more damage to Japan with one
plane than British and Americans
could do with two in the Solomons
or the East Indies.
Reason is that they can engage
the enemy in great numbers, for all
eastern China is occupied by japan,
whereas her forces In the Pacific
are scattered from island to island.
Immediate objective of the Chi
nese drive-if they are allowed to
make twill be Hankow.
Madame Chang viii argue that
capture of Hankow would disorgan-
ize the entire transportation system
by which the japanese ship supplies
overland to Indo-China and Burma.
1914 Is Too Late.
Madame Chang also has another
powerful argument up her sleeve
that 1914 will be too late. The SEIZED
ule now adopted by the United Ma
tons high command to knock off Hit
Ter first and then turn on Hirohito In
1914, is regarded by the Chinese as
dangerous and unsound strategy.

consolidating. They are bringing
together the rubber, tin, and oil
of the East Indies, with the iron and
coal of north China, and welding an
industrial system which will be able
to run indefinitely. No longer will
scrap iron be necessary from the
outside world.
If given time, Madame Chang will
argue, the Japs viii complete the
gaps in the rail lines between Singa-
pore and China, and thus have an
overland transportation route, safe
from submarines. Then no matter
how strong the British and Ameri-
can navies, they viii be no more able
to dent Jap supply lines than the
Japs can dent our communications
between San Francisco and New
York.
That roughly is the powerful argu-
ment Madame Chang Kai-shek viii
make.
