But Tokyo is in the midst of ostensible préparations for 4 grand drive into the South Pagifi¢ in which thé British bastion of Singapore would be the chief objeétive.

There still is no word of the hard-hitting Imperial Army of the
* Nilé with which Gen, Sir Archibald
Wavell broke the Italian power in Libya. Since the capture of Bénghazi it has almost disappeared from the official communiques. If it should turn up in Turkey or Greece the Germans would have an opponent equally skilled in blitzkrieg tactics. The British . communique from Cairo today announced that the British forces which have peénetrated Italian Somaliland up to its capital, Mogadiscio, have captured moré than 9000 prisoners. The commuhique also said that the British had captured Bardera, most important Juba River port and an important military base in southeastern Somaliland. : At the same time, Gen. Charles dé Gaulle, leader of the “Free French” fighting with England, charged that German agents are infiltarting French Morocco - and Syria.” Bulgaria's adherence to the Axis proclaimed at old Belve-| dere Palace in the presence of Hitler, Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, Count Galeazzo Ciano, Italian Foreign Minister, and Gen. Hiroshi Oshima, Japanese Ambassador to Berlin,
“Forced Into It”
Signing for Bulgaria was Premiér Bogdan Filoff, who said that
Bulgaria hoped to keep the peace
and particularly desired to continue and extend her traditional friendship with Russia. In Sofia, Filoff’s Government said that Bulgaria had been forced to sign py thé pressure of events and a desire to maintain peace. Ribbentrop jubilantly asserted that Bulgaria would not be the last country to join the Axis and. that “more and more’ nations would sign up as partners in the Berlin-Rome-Tokyo triangle. This spotlighted the position of Jugoslavia, sole Balkan nation remaining outside the war lineup. Jugoslavia seemed to be playing for time. Amid all the excitement her Foreign Minister, Alexander Cinear-Markovitch, peacefully spent the day sight-seeing in Budapest where he had goné to renew friendghip ties between Jugoslavia and Hungary.
Eden Talks to Turks
Although it génerally was blanketéed by the Axis drume-beating over Bulgaria, the British were quietly pleased and confident as a résult of Foreign Secretary Eden's discussions with Turkey. It was believed in London that Britain had created in Ankara a firm line of resistance which may halt the Axis drive in Thrace, the strategic ovince of Turkey-in-iM ich protects the Dardanellés.

SENATOR LUCAS BACKS AID BILL
Says It Will Keep Fascism From America, Denies FDR Want War.
(Continued from Page One)
vigorous and colorful debate of the entire two weeks of discussions and brought angry charges by Administration supporters that the opposition was filibustering. Senator Wheeler denied the charge and pointed to today’s Schedule of witnesses — himself in opposition and Senators Lucas, James M. Tunnell (D. Del) and Willlam H. Smathers (D. N. J) for the bill— as the best proof that the opposition was not responsible for all of the delay. Administration leaders remained confident that the bill would pass by a two-to-one majority late next week, but opposition leaders said it would fail of enactment wuriless supporters accept substantial amendment—a course which appeared highly unlikely today.
Says F. D. R. “Loves Peace”
Senator Lucas’ prepared speech answered opposition charges that the aid bill was a war measure and that its passage would create a dictatorship in this country. “I do not think,” he said, “that the people of the United States are much alarmed by such allegations. The people have learned to judge a man by his deeds. ‘The people know that the President of the United States loves peace. “They know that the man who conceived and executed the great program of social justice thai he gave them is not, and cannoi be, war minded. The people kriow that a love for humanity, such as the President of the United States has demonstrated, cannot eiist in the

Vienna was flooded with publicity. Riissia Plays Double Game
The key to what went on both in Vienna and Ankara was believed by many to lie in Moscow. What Russia’s attitude is toward these events which affect many of her vital interests is not known but was believed to have been outlined at Ankara by Sir Stafford Cripps, Pritish Ambassador to Moscow. The indication was that Russia was not: displeased at the Anglo-Turk-ish measures to halt sthe Axis march short of the Dardanelles. Bulgaria was said to have ordered general mobilization measures and the strictest sort of police control Three times this morning Gecrge H. Earle, the American Minister to Bulgaria, was refused permission to cross the border into Jugoslavia to

The British smashed again at Wilhelmshaven, bombing big German naval base for four hours and starting heavy fires with their 44th attack on that objective. They also bombed Boulogne and admitted

The German high command «claimed new heavy successes against British shipping, reporting the February total of sinkings at 740,000 tons. Of this total the Navy was said to account for 550,000 tons and the Air Force for 180,000 tons.

Passage of the bill, he continued, “will make certain that the seeds
of dictatorship cannot even sprout, let alone grow and survive in the free atmosphere of these United States of America, whether those seeds are wafted in with some foreign breeze, whether they be planted by some misguided soul lere upon our own free earth.” Declaring that talk of U. S. dictators to be “figments of the iagination” Senatcr Lucag suggested that such discuusion be abandoned and “let uy, rather, aid England in her struggle with dictators who are actualities; with dictators who are more terrible, more real, than any which may be conceived in the wildest flight of imagination.”

Vermillion Happy
He charged the only reason the Democrats were “going along” with the majority on the bill was because of the two seats the Republican Party reportedly would lose. | Referring to the Republican split, Senator Walter Vermillion (D. Anderson) said “this is the happiest moment of this session for me.” “For my part,” sald Senator Jenner, “this is the most unhappy moment of the session. I have been named floor leader of the majority group and now I see my own camp
sides are sincere. As your leader, I would like the consent of this Senate to be excused from voting.” It was granted and the committee’s minority report was defeated, 28 to 12, and the majority finding approved. Grabs Roll Call
Senator Biddinger immediately obtained a copy of the roll call, placed it on his desk and declared that he and at least six other @G. O. P. senators would vote against any bills sponsored by any senator in the column opposing the minority report, “There will be plenty of amendments offered from the floor when this bill comes up for second reading,” he said. Mr. Biddinger said that a compromise, which Fifth District leaders and legislators had attempted to work out with party leaders, had been wrecked by four district chairmen, .
