Tokyo Radio Says
Plight Of Germany
Il Acknowledged

SAN FRANCISCO. May l.
R)-The Domei japanese News
Agency today took cognizance
of the imminent fall of Germany,
but told the japanese people to
attend to our own business.
The Domei dispatch, quoting
the Tokyo newspaper Mainichi,
was broadcast to the United
States and recorded by the Fed
eral Communications Commits
sion.
"All of the Japanese Nation,
camly followed the course Of de-
velopmentsl in Europe, must by
this time have been fully pre-
pared to cope with any eventual
tiles in the European situation"
the broadcast said.
Loss Of Italy to the Axis as
well as Germany, does not
change Japan's stand on "this
life and death struggle" Domei
reported.
Japan's war strength will not
be affected by Germany's fall,
the broadcast indicated. Noting
the vast distances separating ia
pan and Europe, it may be easily
imaginable to what extent and
what kind of assistance we have
been receiving from our Euro
pean allies"

DETROIT, May / - (P) -
American coastal shipping suf-

that Great Britain dispatched so

The statement was made by
Admiral Sir James F. Somer-
Vile, chief of the British Admir-
atty delegation in Washington,
who addressed the Economic
Club of Detroit.
Because of the improved ship
ping situation, he said, more
than 100000 tons of supplies
have been delivered to North
Russian ports since conveys TO
those points started, with loss
Of less than 10 per cent of car

Admiral Somerville, former
commander in-chief of the Roy

cent articles appearing in the
American press have stated that
the British Navy had been de-
signed primarily TO protect the
British Isles and that lit was not
fit to fight alongside the
American Navy"
Describing such reports as
absurd" he said our fleets are
fighting side by side, not for the
first time nor the last"

LIGHT IS COMING

The hundred or so Federal corporations which have been operating in a twilight of public finance with no direct accountability to the people, are soon to examined in real audit fashion for the first time in ther existence. The move is coming as Il result of the separation of the powers of the Secretary of Commerce and the Federal Loan Ad- mnistraor under the terms of the George Bill which Congress insisted upon enacting before Henry Wal lace was confirmed by the Senate.
 One section of the George Bill was written by Sen Harry F Byrd of Virginia, long critic of the Alice Wonderland character of Federal bureaus, authorities and corporations. The Virginian ire ouenty had pointed out that many of these agencies were set up with public money frequently to compete with one form another of private enterprise yet there was any real accounting made of their financial operations Some of the corporations were established by Congress Others came into being merely by executive fiat.
 JN Actually nobody ever seems to know the precise number of these agencies and corporations much less how they faring and what they have done with the public credit or appropriations invested in them.
 Senator Byrds contribution to the George Bill was requirement. that ali of the agencies, including the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Reconstruction Finance Corp. and even down to the agency which operates the Panama Canal, be audited thoroughly by Controller General Lindsay c. Warren and a report made to Congress on their exact financial condition, method of operation, legal justification and general usefulness small army of 1,5o0 ac- countans is being assembled for the task. When it is completed and Congress acts in the light of its findings there may be some significant changes in the character of the Federal bureaucracy. And it if may say so, about time.
