PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Aug. 26.-
Barring bad weather or unlocked
for reverses, the Navy may raise the
100000 submarine Squalus and
her 26 dead to the surface tomorrow
The crafts hull appeared pressure
tight in a test yesterday, except for
a leak in the main air induction
falve, the hull opening through
which testimony has indicated the
vessel took on the tons of water
that sank her May %.
Salvage officers hoped to be able
to close off the air line today. Once
on the surface, the submarine will
be towed up the Piscataqua River
to navy yard drydock.

ton is expressive of that desire.
What will be the attitude of this
country and Government in the
event war comes is another matter
Senator Gerald P. Nye of North
Dakota, Progressive Republican, in
an interview in Illinois, discloses
again the fear of many of his group
that the administration foreign
policy would eventually drag this
country into foreign conflict. Nye,
a sponsor of the present neutrality
laws with their mandatory embargo
against the shipment of arms and
ammunitions to belligerent foreign
nations, foreSeeS a drive on the part
OF the President to repeal that part
of the law If war comes. In his
opinion, such action would not only
be unneutral, but would have the
effect OF ranging this country on
the side OF Great Britain and France.
NyeS demand is that the Repub-
llcan party must accept the chal-
lenge, that it must range itself
strongly against the repeal of the
embargo clause. All Republicans,
however, will not line up with the
North Dakotan on this issue unless
they have cange of heart. Further
more, war will likely bring strong
reaction in this country against the
Nazi government particularly if it
becomes the aggressor.
Hitler may ignore public opinion,
world opinion, in his insistence
upon the course he has laid out for
himself. But public opinion in this
country may become an important
factor eventually in any conflict
abroad. Germany found that out
score of years ago. The German war
machine in 1917 forced this country
into the World War and sealed its
own fate. 1t remains to be seen
whether Herr Hitler will make the
same mistake.
Britishers Provide Ammunition.
Statements made by Englishmen
virtually saying that this country
will come into a war abroad, and
that they believe President Roose-
welt would go Fundamentally into
such a conflict. provide the OPP
ponents of the administration for
eign policy with the ammunition
they desire. Two British members
Of Parliament, who sailed for Eng
land from Boston on Thursday, be-
fore leaving said in interviews that
the United States holds the key to
the salvation of Europe. One was
Thomas Hunter, Conservative, ard
the other Thomas Cassells, Labor
lite. Hunter said that Britons feel
that if President Roosevelt had full
control, the United States would
back Britain to the limit of its pow
er. That is the kind of thing that
makes the Johnsons, the Borahs, the
Nyes see red, and express themselves
violently in the Senate.
In the midst of tremendous anx-
iety over war and peace in The
world, domestic politics continues
to raise its head in this country.
From Montgomery comes the news
that Speaker Bankhead of the
House of Representatives has con-
sented to be a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Presi-
dent. No one seriously expects Mr..
Bankhead to be real contender for
the nomination. What the Alabama
Democrats are doing is to line up
their delegation to the 1910 Demo-
cratic National Convention back of
the Speaker, a supporter of the
Roosevelt New Deal. 1t appears to

LONDON, Aug. 26.-The tert OF
the British Polish mutual assistance
agreement tollo1Us::
The government of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland and the Polish
government:
Desiring to place on a permanent
basis the collaboration between their
respective countries resulting from
the assurances of mutual assistance
of a defensive character which they
have already exchanged;
Have resolved to conclude an
agreement for that purpose and have
appointed as their plenipotentiaries :
The government of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland:
The Right Hon. Viscount Halifax,
principal secretary of state for for
eign affairs;
The Polish government:
His excellency Count Edward Rae
zynski, Ambassador Extraordinary
Of the Polish Republic in London;

latter against that contracting par
ty. the other contracting party will

port and assistance in its power.
Article II. Cd The provision of
Article I will also apply in the
event of any action by a European
power which clearly threatened di-
rectly or indirectly the independence
of one of the contracting parties
and was of such a nature that the
party in question considered it vital
to resist it with its armed forces.
90 Should one of the contracting
parties become engaged in hostilities
with a European power in conse-
quence of action by that power
which threatened the independence
or neutrality of another European
state in such way as to constitute
clear menace to the security of
that contracting party, the provi-
sions of Article I will apply, with
out prejudice, however, to the
rights of the other European state
concerned.
Economic Penetration Covered.
Article III. Should a European
power attempt to undermine the
independence of one of the con-
tracing parties by processes of &C.
onomic penetration, or in any other
way, the contracting parties will sup
port each other in resistance to
such attempts. Should the Euro
pean power concerned thereupon
embark on hostilities against either
of the contracting parties, the pro-
visions of Article I will apply.
Article Nv. The methods of apply
ing the undertakings of mutual as
sistance provided for by the present
agreement are established between
the competent naval, military and
air authorities of the contracting
parties.
Article v. Without prejudice to
the foregoing undertakings Of the
contracting parties to give each
other mutual support and assistance

Woman Voters Oppose
War Referendum Bill

Opposition to war referendum
legislation and the Equal Rights
Amendment were voted by General
Council of the National League of
Women Voters shortly before it
closed its three-day meeting at the
Hotel Washington yesterday.
Following previous action asking
for repeal Of Section l of the Neu-
trality Act, which deals with en-
bargoes, arms and war implements,
the vote on the war referendum was
based, according to Mrs. Louise
leonard Wright of Chicago, on the
opinion that the conduct of foreign
affairs should be kept in constitu-
tional channels. Mrs Wright is
chairman of the leagues depart
ment Of government and foreign
policy.
The council also voted against a
proposal to drop from the league S
program its support of the League
of Nations. The delegates felt, it
was explained. that the League of
Nations justifies continued support
for its social and economic accom-
plishments, quite apart from politi-
cal action.
Opposition to racial discrimina-
ton in immigration laws to make
sure that refugees shall not be ex-
cluded on the basis of race was also
voted.

the Equal Rights Amendment fol-
lowed report that this amendment
had been reported to the House
Judiciary Committee by a subcom-
mittee. N'
