Senator Borah cited statements in
the French press complaining that
the action of the House last Satur-
day in amending the administration
neutrality bill to retain a modified
embargo on arms and ammunition
might encourage aggression by the
totalitarian states.
What is the difference between
the dictators and the democracies
of Europe in questions touching in
ternational affairs?" he demanded.
For illustration, what was the
difference in policy between the die
tator and the democracies at
Munich?
When the hour came for the die
tators and the democracies to Join
in an international movement of
stupendous moment, that is, to de-
stroy, to literally murder the one
real democracy (Czecho- -Slovakia)
in Europe, what was the distinction
IN the principles applied by the
dictators and the democracies?
when it appeared to be in the
interests Of the dictators and the
democracies to break treaties, to dis
regard all law, legal, moral or di-
vine, all principles supposed to OBJ
tain among honorable and decent
communities, what was the distinc-
tion?"
Senator Borah said the reaction
OF the French press constituted a
demand upon our people to
reject traditional foreign policy
of our people : = to reject a tradi-
tional foreign policy of our country
and to accept the policy OF foreign
power" He added that this request

However, Cooke rallied in the
fourth to square it at p and chen

fifth. He also took the sixth to
love against service.
Riggs lost the seventh at love.
He won the eighth to make it 3-5,
but though he got to 800 in the
ninth he played around too long
and Cooke caught him and won the
game and set, 6-3, when Riggs hit
two loose shots of his backhand.
Fourth Set Easy for Riggs.
Riggs turned on the pressure at
the start of the fourth set and, de-
serting the baseline, changed the
entire aspect of the match by racing
all over the court and giving Cooke
only 6 points in winning the first
four games.
Then as usual Riggs loafed
through the fifth and sixth games,
gave them both up to love before
he decided again to work hard
enough to win the seventh. Though
Cooke managed to make it 3-5 in the
eighth, Riggs closed him out in the
ninth at is, winning the set, 6-3.
Fifth Set.
Riggs at the start Of the final set
took the first game to 30 against

at 30, but Cooke lifted his game at
this point, won the third at love

Generosity was the keynote of the

under terms of the neutrality act his
team was permitted as many mas

Moturities Extension
Backed by Creditors
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission approved a capital readjust-
ment plan today for the Lehigh VAL
ley Railroad.
The plan, which provides for ex-
tension of the maturities of numer-
Gus obligations made or guaranteed
by the Lehigh Valley, already has
been approved by creditors.
In a separate decision extending
$778,000 loan by the Reconstruct
ton Finance Corp, the I. c. C.

was conditioned on the capital re-
adjustment plan becoming effective.
The plan provides for an extern
sion of 10 years of the maturity
dates of Lehigh Valley Terminal
bonds, Lehigh Valley Railroad
bonds and Pennsylvania & New
York Canal Railroad bonds.
1t also calls for an extension of
S7,941 ,666 of bank loans and for an
extension of a $1,111,000 R. F. C..
loan.
Another provision calls for extern
sion without interest for five years
from their present maturities IS per
cent of each of the five semi annual
interest installments of $l,558, ,463
falling due November /. 1898, to No
vember l, 1910, on the Lehigh VAL
ley's general consolidated mortgage
bonds.
The separate decision extended
from April 80, 1941 to November /,
