They want to rush the ratification resolution through the foreign relations committee and out to the senate floor. Others counsel full, unhurried deliberations in both places. They say it would be almost physically impossible to ratify the charter in time for President Truman to take it with him to the BiB Three meeting.

He says: "America's future security perhaps the fate of mankind depends on our retaining the use of our bloodily won Pacific bases . . . Our air power must be kept in a position to carry our attacks home to the heart of any aggressor who may threat en us , . . our own b-zbs can al ready strike ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD if we keep the use of certain strategic bases." He adds that WITH these bases America's entire strategic air force can be moved from San Francisco to Okinawa in 36 hours (without them, he means, it WOULDN'T be possible). He concludes: "We shouldn't allow ANYTHING to stop us from tak ing advantage of the power such a strategic air force has." ' TN Moscow, Marshal . Zhukov, A speaking at the tomb of Lenin in a great celebration in which Hitler's swastika flag was first dragged through the Red Square and then thrown into a gutter, says: "Soviet Russia now has the most modern and powerful ARMY in the world. We must increasingly perfect our military skill and develop our military science." Note that Zhukev speaks of the Russian ARMY. From his emphasii on the ARMY, those who hope for friendly Russian- American ' co-operation In the world of the future draw consid erable consolation.; R u s si a n ARMY strength is unlike'" to be aimed at OVERSEAS WAR. If he had urged soviet Russia to maintain the greatest AIR FORCE and the greatest N WY in the world it would have been less reassuring.

ROLUNr HOME to TEXAS " ' I 3', ' OVER THE prairie: (Continued From Pago One) tion concerning (he future meet ing betwoun Gen, Franco, lllllor and Ribbcutrop, "Mussolini and Franco dis cussed tlio political situation in a five-hour conversation. Franco stated the following: "He remains firm In his con viction that the cause of the axis will triumph. Spain wants to continue working with the axis in order to contribute its share to the inevilublo victory. "However, Spain is suffering from starvation and is militarily completely unprepared. Franco, accordingly, ' is not in a posi tion to bring effective aid to the cause of the axis. Conditions Set "Under any circumstances Spain's entrance into the war is dependent upon these condi tions: "1. On economic and military aid. "2. On a definition ot orticlo 5 of the well-known program of the three powers. In tills defin ition it must be stated that Spain, in addition to Gibraltar, will also get French Morocco. "In, connection with his econ omic ' agreements with the United States and Great Brit ain, Franco stated that these had nothing to do with his po litical obligations. "If any military action Is taken against Gibraltar the at tack must bo carried out as a Spanish operation, even if it does have the support of the German army. "Franco gave Mussolini a copy of the stntement ot the Spanish general staff in which Spain's military and civilian needs were stated. This copy is the same as that already sent to the German government. Mussolini remarked that the statement was very emphatic. Spam Not Ready "At the end of the conversa tion the following communique was published: 'Mussolini shared the common impression that Spain was not in a position to enter into a war nnd even if Germany were ready to grant all that Spain desired a period of several months would bo re quired for tho transportation of supplies. Mussolini was there fore of the opinion that Ger many and Italy should make even fewer concessions t o Franco in order to insure Spain's position among the axis powers. In this way Spain could utilize the time in order to conquer its present threat of starvation and also to improve Its position concerning arma ments. . "These are all the statements which the Italian minister made on the behalf of Mussolini. ."I told Cosmelli . that Hitlct' and Ribbcntrop" were thankful for this information which would be of use in their meet ing in Bordlgliern." There Is no record that the proposed meeting of Franco and Hitler at Bordighcra ever took place. Later in 1041, however, Ramon Serrano Suncr, then Franco's foreign minister, went to Berlin and conferred with officials.
