asked.

struction?"
The veteran Senator appeared to
tire in the latter half of his speech.
His voice was weaker and he occa-
sionally leaned forward with his
hands on his desk.
He spoke solemnly, but now and
then when Senator Pittman inter-
rupted him, the Idahoan's retorts
provoked laughter in the galleries.
At one point the Idaho Senator
questioned whether Russia was neu-
trail, as Senator Pittman had said.
TT does not concern the United
States whether it is neutral or not"
Senator Pittman replied. Il do con-
tend, of course, that the safety and
peace of our own people is first"

Borah.
90-Day Credits.
Discussing the controverted 90
day credit provision written into the
Pittman bill, the Nevadan remarked
in the course Of his speech yester-
day:
Il am informed that drafts and
checks payable 80 days after date
are in accordance with the usual
practices with regard to export trade
and are considered as cash pay
ments. Certainly it cannot be meant
that goods that may be legally pur-
chased are to be paid for at the time
of purchase with actual money, un-
less checks and drafts are deemed
to be actual money.
I'VE know that in the United
States at least 95 per cent of our
commercial transactions are con-
Quoted through checks and drafts
and bank credits. In the very ma
ture OF things, it requires some time
for draft or check upon a for
eign bank received by an American
citizen to be transmitted through
banking channels to the foreign
drawee before the seller can get
actual credit for the money due him.
1T must be understood that the
provision added by the Committee
on Foreign Relations to existing
law is a mandatory limitation upon
the President of the United States.
He is not compelled to permit any
extension of credit to belligerent
government with regard to any
transaction"

LONDON tBy maiD This is out
standingly the war Of whole peo-
pie. As the struggle goes on, 1t be-
comes more and more apparent that
a nation is mobilized-not Just a
uniformed army and navy. There
is hardly bus driver street sweeper,
waitress or housewife in London
who is not fitting into some definite
place in the pattern of a militant
whole.
This accounts in large part for
the extraordinary lack of confusion
that has attended the extraordinary
circumstances under which people
are living. Nearly every Londoner
knows his or her place almost as
well as does an actual soldier in
the ranks. There was something of
the sort in the World War, but it
came much later
All this has been achieved with no
great amount of training or dis
cipline, and it is attended by almost
the antithesis of a warlike spirit.
There is extraordinarily little fash

women of the various auxiliary serv-

Doctors Volunteer Services.
The extreme unity of the whole,
with its socially, mentally and eco
nomically diverse millions, amounts
almost to a new phenomenon among
men.
For example. SO per cent of Great
Britain's $4,000 civilian doctors have
volunteered their services.
The clearing house is the fortress
like headquarters Of the British
Medical Association in Tavistock
Square. There the line waits all day
long-eminent specialists, old men
long out of active practice, boys not
yet started on their interneship.
They wait patiently in line, some
times for a couple of hours, as
though they were recruits at a
militia armory. Three officials and
their secretaries are kept busy from
daylight to dark recording names
and qualifications. Woman doctors
wait with the men.
The services call on the associa-
ton for men as they need them.
AS result, the B. M. A. announces,
it would now 'be possible at any
time to pick out Immediately any
required number Of doctors of any
type and within any specified age

A. FL. Draws Lines

Neutrality Program
BY the Associated Press.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. g.
Trade unionists divided in their
attitude toward the Roosevelt ad-
ministration appeared today to be
headed for test of strength on
such controversial issues as foreign
policy and domestic politics pending
before the American Federation OF
Labors annual convention.
TIE first days session left some
sharply drawn lines for prospective
debate over the New Deal.
President William Green declared
for broad Endorsement of the ad-
ministration's neutrality revision
program and strongly advocated the
role Of an international peacemaker
for the United States in the current
European conflict.

In les conspicuous fashion, a pro-

Connecticut to put the A. F.. L. on

the New Deal and in opposition to
the conservatives of both parties. -
Well-informed sources reported
that another resolution raising the

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The sinking of a British mer-
chantman by an unidentified craft
and the appearance of mysterious
submarines in American waters both
in the North and South Atlantic
has determined the administration
to take drastic steps to ward OF
the danger of indiscriminate sink
ing of ships in neutral waters.
The State Department is re-
ported to be studying regulations
forbidding submarines of the bellig-
erents from entering the 30O-mile
American continent security belt.
This defensive measure is deemed
essential for the protection of the
sea lanes between the two Americas.
The merciless war which the
European countries are waging on
each other might induce them to
send their undersea craft far away
from the officially blockaded zones
to sink unsuspecting vessels. Mer-
chant men carrying raw materials
from North American to South
American ports might be sunk be-
cause of the suspicion that these
raw materials might be trans
shipped to other vessels and taken
to the warning powers of Europe.
There is an indefinite number of
causes why merchant men might
be torpedoed by the belligerent
powers and unless definite warm
ing is given protecting the shipping
Of the nations of the Western Hemis-
phere, precedents might be estab-
lished and our communications with
South America might become dis

eyes Of his former subjects because
of the many champagne and dancing
parties at Potsdam after the war, the
eyes of the allies are turned toward
the second son of the former heir
to the crown of the German empire,
Prince Louis Ferdinand of Hohen~
zollern. He Is the white hope Of
the French diplomats, in the event
Hitler's career may come to an
abrupt end.
Prince Louis is well known in this
country. Not able to stand the
democratic regime of the Weimer
republic, he came to the United
States and was hired by Henry Ford
at the Los Angeles Ford plant. He
worked hard, but mixed work with
pleasure. He got $25 a week At
Hollywood he met Lily Damita, a
French movie star, with whom he
fell in love and wanted to marry. A
cablegram from Grandpapa Will
helm at Doom put an end to the
romance. Discipline is still strong
in the Hohenzollern family.
From Los Angeles the young
prince was transferred to Detroit,
with a. $l0-a- week raise in salary.
He was cured of Lily Damita. He
returned to Germany and. following
the advice of his grandfather, mar
ried according to his rank. He mar
ried Grand Duchess Kyra, the
daughter of the pretender to the
throne of the Russian Empire, Grand
Duke Cyril.
Before his permanent return to
Germany, Hitler came to power.
Prince Louis associated himself with
!, the new ruler of the Reich and be-
came one of the highest officials of
the Deutsche Luft Hansa, the most
important German commercial air
line. When Field Marshal Werber
Won Blomberg and Col. Gen. Won
Fritsch were gracefully purged from
the Germany army, Prince Louis de-
cided that the air of the Mediter-
ranean was better for him than that
of the Reich. He returned to the
fatherland when the air improved a
few months later and is now with
the German flying forces some
where on the western front. Pro-
vided nothing happens to the young
prince, he is the white hope of the
wishful thinking allied governments,
, who fervently wish that this war
will see the end of Hitlerism. Goer-
ing, Goebbels and the others are
bound to follow the present Rus
sianized policies of the Fuehrer.
Prince Louis, as the husband of the
daughter of the pretender to the
czarist throne. is bound to see the
interests of Germany in another
light.

British Held Girdinq
Troops for Action
Later in War
Raw Armies Watch
Northern Frontier to
Prevent Flank Drive
BY WILLIAM H. STONEMAN,

chicaGo Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
LONDON, Oct. 3.-Great Britain's
military effort during the early
stages of the present war will con-
sist largely in manning Frances
northern frontier against any pos
sible attempt by the Germans to
strike through Belgium and Hol-
land, it now seems clear.
Although the disposition of the
British eXpeditionary force in
France at the present moment is, at
least theoretically, a secret, it would
be logical for the British to hold the
front as near to the channel ports as
possible when, in fact, they do take
over a portion of the line. Today
the Evening Standard supports this
idea by announcing that British
troops are ready to be rushed in to
stem any sudden attempt Germany
may make for a lightning thrust
through Holland and Belgium"
The belief that the Germans will
try to flank the French by coming
in from the North rests upon the
French and British confidence in
the strength of the Maginot Line,
upon the extreme brevity of the
present front, and upon the feeling
tina the Germans will attempt to
find a sphere in which they can
employ their crack mechanical units
to full advantage. Because the
western front, as it exists today, does
seem so incapable of being cracked
open by either side, many neutral
military experts have come to the
conclusion that there will be a per-
manent stalemate unless it can be
extended.
A German military man, with
whom this correspondent visited
British maneuvers two months ago
expressed the belief at that time that
British troops would not be in any
serious action for the first six
months of the war, and unless there
is an emergency in France this cal
culation may hold good The French
have enough trained troops to
handle the relatively small-scale
operations which are now going on
and to stop any German push
against the Maginot Line.
The British army has number OF
well-equipped, highly trained divi-
sions but, as whole, is still raw and
will be much more effective when it
does 60 into action if it is not tested
prematurely.

Failure Is Feared
In Law 10 Expose
Foreign Agents
Number NeeIectine to
Register, U. S. Launches
Investigation

Some officials are wondering
whether the law requiring agents
Of foreign principals to register
with the State Department has had
the effect that Congress desired.
The debate at the time the law
was enacted last year indicated
many of the legislators wanted to
force undercover agents, acting in
behalf of foreign nations, to come
out in the open.
A survey Of the 1853 registrations
made at the State Department
shows however, that a great major
ity Of those registered are not gov
ernmental agents, undercover or
otherwise. They are simply busi-
ness representatives, advertising
agents, steamship officials, foreign
correspondents and the like.
1873 Represent British Interests.
OF the total, 1913 are representa-
tiveS of interests In Great Britain,
the dominions and colonies
Next in number comes Japan
with 38, followed by France with %
Germany with 81, Spain with 10 and
Italy with l8. Russia has six
Thirty eight different nations have
acknowledged agents in the United
States.
Great Britain, which leads in the
number of registered agents. does
not have the largest number OF
governmental agents.
She has only nine, whereas Spain
has exactly twice as many regis
tered, and Japan IA. OF Spain's
l8 governmental agents, many rep
resented the Loyalist government
and their occupation probably has
ceased. The total number of agents
Of foreign governments registered
is 96 out of 1853, which is only 26
per cent.
Cases Investigated.
The undercover agents, the men
that Congress really wanted to un-
cover, have taken care not to tip
their hands by registering. 1t is
understood the Department of JUS
tice is investigating a number OF
such cases.
The actual situation Is that a
large percentage of the agents reg
istered are American citizens, many
Of them we'll known and highly
reputable, such as those serving as
