 This would indicate that the In- dians voluntarily abandoned their rights, which may have existed under the Russian rule, after the purchase of Alaska by the United States.

It is merely an enabling act. It doesn't give the citizens of the Dis trict right to vote or any repre- sentation whatever.
 It merely specifics that when and if three-fourths of the states adopt it as an amendment, then Congress shall determine the extent of the franchise and representation in Con- gress. There is no thought what ever that this will mean the Dis tricts city government will be turn ed over to the people who live here.
 There's also little argument in Congress, as far as I can find, that the District ss..cs.s,1, have iiiore than a voting delegate in the House, as Hawaii, Alaska, the Philippines and Puerto Rico are now represent ed.
 But those are matters which would be left up to Congress, if the Sumners-C -Capper act should be- come part of the Constitution.
 it's hard to see either why the voters of the nation would refuse to place in Congress, where it belongs, this responsibility for giving resi- dents of the national capital some sort of say-so about how they are governed, and equal rights with the rest of the nation in voting for President and vice president.
 The difficulty that the proposed amendment probably will have, say it's packers, is in lack of interest
 Why that should be is difficult to understand. Washington, D. o., belongs to the nation. Chairman Hatton Summers (D.-Tex) of the House Judiciary committee, co-au- thor of the bill, call the District "the workshop of the Government" He and a great many others contend that as such the government of the District must remain in the hands of the representatives of the nation as whole.

RUSSIA IN THE PACIFIC

Russia's future role in the Pacific was may still be un
p~redictable, but until now her policy of benevolent neutrality
has been consistent with Allied overall strategy. Some Ameri
cans have been disappointed and resentful because we have not
at least the use of Russian air bases in Siberia. But this view
point has never been expressed officially in Washington, and
there are many reasons for believing it never represented the
wishes of our high command.
What many Americans wanted most of Russia in the
Pacific was the use of Soviet air bases in Siberia. A one-way
look at the map showed these bases were only 600 to 1000
miles from Tokyo, which would have been fine if it had been
the full story. But it wasn't. Because some of Japans strong
est air bases are only 100 miles from these same Soviet bases
Vladivostok, for example, was not only liable to terrific mass
attacks from nearby Japanese air fields in Korea and Man
ehuria, but could have been isolated, and perhaps eventually
CAPTURED. by a japanese land march of less than $50 miles.
The fact that our use of Russian bases against Japan
would have inevitably opened a new fighting front hundreds
of miles in length, far from Allied sources of supply, and con-
yeniently near to Japan's, is the best argument in favor of
Russia's past policy. Our military strategy from the outset
of the war was to defeat Germany first, which meant bring
ing every possible ounce of Allied strength-Brtish American,
and Russian-to bear in Europe first. 1t meant concentrating
cur strength on as few fronts as possible, so that our forces
would not be dissipated and Intellectual everywhere. And, it
is inconceivable that the war with Germany would be over
today if we had opened a new front against Japan in Siberia.
Millions of additional Allied troops would have been required
merely to hold that front. Supplying them would have been
an almost impossible undertaking when the Allied supply prob
lens on all fronts were desperate. And we would have been
deprived of these men and weapons in Europe when they were
needed to turn the tide against Germany.
By waging merely a war of nerves against Japan, Russia
has accomplished for the Allies all that could have been accom-
plished under the circumstances. By never making it clear
whether she intended to move against Japan before Germanys
defeat, Russia forced Japan to concentrate millions of her best
troops along the Siberian frontier where they were unable to
interfere with our 6O00-mie march back across the Pacific.
Those Japanese armies still are intact, but with or without
Russia, we are now in a position to deal with them with a
mighty club in each hand.
