Lease-Lend Program
lis a Years Old Today;
.36aa Billion Expended

| Lease-lend, under which thu
United States has Clipped in more
than $36,500 100000 for war aid fol
the Allies, is four years old today.
Recalling the anniversary in a let
ter to President Roosevelt made pub
lie at the White House late yester-
day, Leo T. Crowley, Foreign Eco
nomic Administrator, said the pro-
gram has grown in stature through
the years as an imaginative and ef-
fective instrument in unifying the
efforts of the United Nations in their
march down the slow, hard road to
victory"
''1t has, moreover-and this can
not be overemphasized-proven an
step in preparing our own
Nation for our part in this COM
bined war;" he added.
Mr.. Crowley listed total lease-lend
expenditures as of January 81 at
$36 ,558 100000 The breakdown in
cluded: Finished munitions, $l8,-
542, 1000, 900; war production and
other industrial materials, S7030,-
100000; petroleum products, ST.
652 900 900; foodstuffs and agricul-
tural supplies, $5,l83 100000; serv-
ices-including training programs
ship repairs and shipping and ferry
ing of planes-$4,151 100000 The
total represents about Is per cent
of the total war budget of the coun-
try, he said.
Our own effectiveness has been
greatly enhanced, moreover, by
reverse lease-lend from our Allies,
the administrator pointed out.
He recalled that Congress has
fully supported" the program, and
that last week, the House Foreign
Affairs Committee recommended
another years extension.
'Lease-lend has saved untold
thousands of our own as we'll as
Allied young men and women whose
lives remain in danger as long as
the war continues" the letter said
in conclusion.

Enemy landings were out of the
question in the north unless the
invaders preferred to scale its SER
rated rock cliffs. The southern
beaches offered no cover whatso-
ever and the Japanese could train
their guns on hostile troops.
The approachable shoreline was
guarded by $4,000 yards of trenches
which the Japanese were forced to
relinquish under tremendous naval
gunflre. 1t showed, however, they
were fully prepared to fight on the
beaches, but their commander re-
allied his men couldn't challenge
bombarding warships.
Nearly All Military.
Altogether. the beach defenses
were considered better than Tarawa.
Tarawa's coconut log emplaeements
were primitive compared to the huge
pillboxes on Two, some with REIN
forced concrete feet thick. Tarawa
had concrete positions, too, but not
in the quantity they appeared on
Two.
Two had little other than military
installations. Several villages and
a so-called town-Motoyama-which
lay in broken splinters even before
the Marines reached it. A narrow
gauge railroad along the west coast
carried both sugar for export and
ammunition to be stored in the
Surlbachi caverns. There was an
experimental agricultural station, a
weather station, sulphur works and
"a sugar mill

1t was signed Ministry of the
Navy, October 1887"
Japan plainly didn't want the
world to know what she had done
and was doing on Two Jima-build-
ing its eight square miles of vol
canic bleakness into one of the most
heavily fortified bases in the world
Deceptively Small.
The island is small, deceptively
small. 1t has predominant ugli-
ness in baroness of the dry irreg-
ular terrain and expanse of dark
lava sands. Only the fat mountain
OF Suribachi relieves the picture OF
hostile desolation.
But Two was no tourist retreat in
the SIS years of Japanese control
1t had a feW-a thousand or So
civilians who raised sugar and re-
fined sulphur which the colonists
contributed to the bounty of the
empire.
1t also had 10000 crack troops

For Two was fortress, nothing

the outer defense line Japan had
in Nanpo Shoto, a chain of southern
islands running from the very
mouth of Tokyo Bay (Oshima) to
within 300 miles of the Marianas

built it well.

approaches.

Americans "have the disgusting
habit of bathing twice a week, OF
even more frequently" and a warn
| ing is given, solemnly. against STEP
ping into a thing called a shower,
as hot water is fairly common and
cases of scalding are often re-
ported"
Food, Water and Smokes.
The paragraph on food" reads:
Food is generally plentiful but
be very careful what you eat. In
some localities powdered eggs are
very hard TO get. You will be forced
to eat eggs with inconvenient shells
covering them. Do not eat the
shell. Also, due to war conditions,
dehydrated vegetables are unob-
tainable"
Under danger" it warns that "one
must be very careful about the
drinking water" adding that 'it is
not necessary that you carry your
canteen or tin cup to the table as
utensils called glasses or cups will
be furnished"
Under smokes" it cautions that
"it is considered rather poor form
to walk around the street with a
carton of cigarettes under your arm.
The natives resent this very much
and we must keep on friendly re-
lations."
In conclusion the list offers:
above all, men. remember the
duty will probably be of short dura-
ton, SO do not lose heart. and if
you do your work willingly and
cheerfully, you soon will be back
home again in the jungles."

''Stateside" is a mighty popular

Lines Being Drawn
For Fight Over Senate
Control in 1916 Votinu
BY GOULD LINCOLN.

| A battle royal for control of the
Senate already is in the making al
though the next election, at which
slightly more than one-third of the
Senate membership will be chosen, is
still Is months in the future.
Two Democratic vacancies caused
by the deaths of Senators Maloney
OF Connecticut and Moses of North
Dakota have been filled by republi-
can appointees, Senator Thomas C..
Hart of Connecticut and Senator
designate Milton r. Young of North
Dakota.
This raises Republican strength
to 40. If the Republicans can hold
their own in the 1916 elections and
pick up 8 additional seats they would
have a majority in the Senate for
the first time since 1881. After
March 4, 1881, the political make up
of the Senate was: Republicans, 48;
Democrats, At, and Farmer-Labor-
| ite, /.
Success Seems Unlikely.
The task the Republicans have
ahead of them to win a majority in
the Senate is not impossible of at
tainment, but is so difficult that
success at this point seems i'm
probable. In 1916, 80 Senators will
come up for re-election-20 Demo-
Gratis, IL Republicans and one Pro-
gresSive.
| Only five of the Democratic SEN
ators who may seek denomination
and reelection if they wish are
from States of the Solid South"
This leaves is other States in which
the Republicans may make their
real bids for victory.
A recital of this list of Is States,
however, shows that the Democrats,
as of today have as good or better
chance of winning in many of them
Here is the list of States and
the Senators who now represent
| them.
Senators Briggs of Missouri,
Chavez of New Mexico, Gerry of
Rhode Island, Guffey of Pennsyl-
vania, Kilgore of West Virginia,
Mcfarland of Arizona, Mead of New
York, Mitchell of Washington, Muir
dock of Utah, OMahoney of Wyo-
ming, Radcliffe of Maryland, Scrug-
ham of Nevada, Tunnel of Della
ware, Walsh of Massachusetts, and
Wheeler of Montana.
Dewey Carried Only One.
Only one of these States-Wyo-
ming-was carried by Gov. Thomas
E. Dewey in his race against Presi-
| dent Roosevelt. A Republican Sem
ator, however, was elected in Massa-
chuSettS-Senator Saltonstall.
Without Mr.. Roosevelt on the op-
position tickets. and the urge to
re-elect the "Commander-in-C Chief
which was SO potent last year, it is
not at all improbable the Republi-
cans will pick up some of these
seats. But to take nine of them. or
even eight Of them, is a different
| thing
The Republicans carried Wiscon-
sin and reelected Republican
Governor and Republican Senator
last year. Senator La Toilette. the
single Progressive party member of
the Senate, is running there next
year. He may face tough fight
because the Progressive party has
been at low ebb. However, Sena-
tor La Toilette, member of the
Senate for 20 years, bears charmed
name in Wisconsin and in addition
has made an excellent Senator.
AS things now stand in the Sem
ate, although the Democrats have
real majority, the New Deal
forces are in constant danger of
defeat from combination of Re-
publicans and conservative Demo-
