Show SPIES OVER AMERICA WHO'S NEWS HOTEL FLAN DOME. THIS HOTEL years to discover what the American has known all along. The nation the North American continent in general is infested with the spies of three powerful Fascist nations. On the Pacific coast innocent Japanese fishing craft snare a few tuna and whatever American naval secrets happen to be lying around. In the Panama canal zone a guttural German is apparently minding his own business; meanwhile his photographic mind records the geographic layout of this most vulnerable spot in Americas' defense program. from mountain stream to the seal Men and women have been Japanese fishing craft appear annufree to come, look and leave at ally in increasing numbers, placing nets ahead of American boats our greatest military strong- their and shifting their huge catch to holds.

But designed to out-fo- x some havent closed their eyes, because a foreign government wanted those secrets. Yet 10 years passed before a New York federal grand jury found occasion to indict 18 suspected Nazi agents, most of whom are now safe back home. It was not until these spies became so bold as to ask the state department for blank passports that we suspected their real intentions. Now, in retrospect, those puzzling incidents of the past few years loom crystal clear: the army pilot who disappeared while testing s sensational new ship; the Japanese tuna clipper which went aground while fishing" at night where only American naval secrets might be caught. Behind this invasion of foreign agents is an unimportant sounding document signed by Japan, Germany and Italy last year, the pact for mutual assistance. That, at least, was the surface reason for this treaty; in truth it was probably a working agreement between three nations with common democracies aim, to combat through an insidious program of espionage and propaganda. The latest assertion on this matter (not substantiated) is that Germany is handling the propaganda and Italy is furnishing ammunition stores which are constantly being dumped in Nicaragua and Mexico. But substantial proof is 'already at hand testifying to Japan's leader- ship in the espionage program. Quiet, unobtrusive, apparently interested only in the work at hand, these visitors from the Orient go about their job with a persistence that is amazing, with a righteous air that is maddening. San Fedro's Clippers. In Los Angeles' San Pedro harbor, which shelters battleships of the United States fleet, powerful tuna clippers weave their path cogamong the nizant of every move the navy Stripes on every salmon that spawns in Alaskan mountain streams but the American state department has been slow in taking protective measures. Although the Japanese government apologizes and offers assurances, the Oriental craft appear again and again. They fish outside the three-mil- e limit, but within limit. What many an the American fisherman would like to know is why his government can't enforce the limit against 12-m- le these invaders. Jumping south, the seeker after spies lands invariably in the Panama canal zone, justifiably called rv ' pro-Fasci- fc to uncover working feverishly United States military secrets. This Is the Achilles Heel of American defense. rJ-A.- B' at By LEMUEL F. PARTON x TEW YORK.

They member have just fulfilled the latter promise, and M. Maurras becomes an immortal by a majority of one vote. He had spent 250 days in jail on a charge of having urged the assassination of 140 members of the chamber of deputies who had voted for sanctions against Italy; also on a charge of inciting the French people to sharpen up their kitchen knives" for use against certain proscribed politicians. In the 250 days he had written five books, swelling his vast collection of books on biography, politics, economics, literary criticism, history and what not to probably well over 100. I talked to him once in the Cafe des Lilas, a fragile, deaf, bearded old man with a contentious, blazing mind which makes one think of a sizzling battery running an automobile without any engine. In 1923, he was in jail for four months in a somewhat adventure for one who was to be garlanded as an immortal. Three members of the chamber of deputies were kidnaped and fed castor oil Mussolini is said to have got' his broad prospectus of Fascism from Maurras and the bald head of one of them was painted with violet ink and glue. In 1925, M. Maurras was sentenced to two years in prison, the charge being that he had threatened to kill the minister of the interior. Among the causes of his incarceration in October, 1936, was conspiracy evidence in the assault on Premier Leon Blum, in which he was severely beaten, while attending the funeral of a friend. His books and virulent editorials against democracy in the Royalist, paper, translated into many lan- guages, are tltefount of Fascist doctrine all over tfafcworld.

Perhaps there is something undemocratic about the secrecy which must shroud American military operations if our future is to be protected. Maybe it isn't polite to unauthorized foreign visitors give the bum's rush. But it is better than waking up some fine morning to feel a sharp bayonet prying into your ribs! WeiterB Newspaper Union.

Lengthy investigations were made after that storybook incident on July 30, 1933, when Lieut Arthur H. Skaer took off from Los Angeles municipal airport to test an amazingly fast new plane. His instructions were to stay within sight of the field, but Lieutenant Skaer streaked off to the south, disappeared from sight and was never seen again. The plane was sc valuable that army officials had planned to destroy it immediately after the test, saving the designs for production only in a national emergency. a In a dragnet a few days later, agents of the federal bureau of investigation closed in on Harry Thomas Thompson, former navy yeoman, who is now serving a sentence at McNeil island penitentiary for selling naval secrets to Japan.
