British Fear Beer
Shortage in War
As Imports Cut

LONDON, Nov. 8. CUP) - The
British government was reported
to be worried today lest beer crisis
result from the curtailment of malt
barley imports from California be-
cause of the war.
Pressed by brewing interests, the
government was understood to be
surveying the shipping situation to
determine whether or not enough
vessels can be diverted from their
present runs to bring in the malt
barley.
There is plenty of ordinary quail
ty barley on hand to guarantee nor
NAL production of ordinary beer
in Great Britain for several months,
but Shortage of beer in the higher
brackets threatens if something isn't
done to restore the flow of Cali
fornia barley.
For, California barley, it was ex-
planned, is the only barley of suf-
ficiently high quality to produce
the better brews.
The United States new neutrali-
ty law complicated the situation
by ruling American ships out of
the combat zones. Most of Britains
California barley supply in past
years was shipped in American ves-
sells.

the U. S. Lines request would be
taken today. The commissions next
regular meeting will be tomorrow.
The commission prepared the
memorandum in reply to the presi-
dents request for information.
1t was understood that two basic
questions we're involved in con-
sideration of the proposed transfer.
The first asked the effect of the
transfer on the national defense;
the other concerned the possibili-
ty that foreign governments might
seek to buy up whole fleets OF Am
erican merchant vessels
President Roosevelt is umpiring
the shipping dispute. He is leaning
if at all-toward salt and peppery
Chairman Emory S. Land of the
maritime commission, retired rear
admiral, himself, who says nothing
but appears eager to have the trans
fer go through.
The dispute blew up suddenly
but it is a real one. The maritime
commission apparently takes the
position that American flag ships
should be kept employed by any
legal means to avoid sacrificing
gains made by the American mer-
chant marine since the nation
awakened midway in the World war
to the fact they we're in a bad way
on the high seas.
Chairman Land can present that
side of the controversy in sharp
and emphatic language if given the
opportunity. Congressional sharp
shooters and Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull, the No. l member of Mr.
Roosevelt's cabinet, watch the other
ramparts and they are determined
men.

Hewes Tells Club
Of District Power
System PROGRESS

Progress of the Imperial Irriga-
ton District power system and the
part it can play in carrying Impe-
rial Valleys financial burdens were
discussed before the Calexico Ro-
tary club Tuesday by Evan T.
Hewes, chairman of the district
board of directors.
During the past year, Rotarians
we're told, the Irrigation District
has carried out program upon
which citizens of the valley en-
marked by:
Building TOO miles of distribution
lines in rural areas never before
served with electricity. Now some
1900 farm homes, which year ago
we're without power, have electric
ity.
Building more than 100 miles of
lines within incorporated cities.
Increasing the number of con-
Sumer-owners connected to the val
ley system from 100 to more than
5000.
Work on the hydro plant at drop
No. on the All-American canal,
Is miles east of Calexico, is ahead
of schedule and completion is slat-
ed for April, Hewes said. The hydro
plant at drop No. 3 is also under
way.
Club members were told that
they have the choice of repaying
cost of the All-American canal in
two ways-by direct taxes assessed
upon real property in the valley,
or by revenue from the public pow
er system.
eff you elect to support your own
power business" Hewes said, pro
fits from the power business will
more than pay for the canal. Addi-
tional power revenue will help to
relieve other of your financial bur-
dens."

Maritime Comission Says
Registry Transfer Legal

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. CUP)-
The u. S. maritime commission has
prepared a memorandum for Pres
ident Roosevelt asserting that the
neutrality act would not be violated
by the proposed transfer of eight
U. S. Line ships to Panama registry,
it was learned today.
The memorandum, it was under
stood, retained, in effect, what
President Roosevelt told reporters
at Hyde Park yesterday
1t will be delivered to Mr.. Roose-
velt when he returns here or will
be transmitted to Hyde Park if he
requests it. The president said that
there was no illegality in the pro-
posal to place the ships under the
Panama flag and that there was
nothing in it that might involve the
United States in war.

decision goes, the losers will be
happy and willing to second guess
him to considerable embarrassment
if he takes the wrong turn. Refusal
to permit the transfer might--its
advocates believe it would-damage

By the Associated Press.

Felix Morley, editor of the Wash

Affairs Committee today infiexible
neutrality legislation actually en-
courages aggression"
1T serves formal notice, in ad-
vance," Mr.. Morley testified, that
the United States will make no dis
tinction between aggressors and their
victims, no matter how morally
heinous the aggression. BY writing
of our potentially enormous influ-
ence for peace, we actively stimulate
war.
This seems the more criminally
stupid because, in spite of efforts to
avoid 1t, the possibility of our being
involved In any major and long
continued war is so strong" z
Differing with Mr.. Morley, Henry
G. Luckey of Lincoln, Nebr., former
member of Congress, demanded that
the committee approve mandatory
neutrality legislation.
Calls Power Dangerous.
Y Our national safety depends on
strict mandatory neutrality" Mr..
Luckey contended. To take sides
will mean ultimate involvement in
any conflict. To put this power into
the hands Of any one man would be
exceedingly dangerous, as past his
tory shows

Plea for Admission
Of Child Refugees

Hearing to Urge Aid
For 20, 900 Germans
BY JOHN C. HENRY.

Before a hushed and crowded
committee room, Helen Hayes played
her real life role of an American
mother on Capitol Hill today to
plead for admission of 10000 Ger
man refugee children to the United
States.
Appearing before joint Congress
sional immigration Committee,
Washington's own first lady" of the
stage and screen introduced herself
as Mrs. Charles Macarthur" as she
took her place among the first wit
nesses appearing to indorse a reso-
luton which would permit the waiv-
ing OF immigration barriers for
two-year emergency period.
Il have only one credential," the
actress said softly as she took the
stand. II come here today as an
American mother, q mother Of chill
dren have borne and of children
I have adopted.
Il come to beg of you, gentlemen,
that you look with favor on this
proposal"
Always Room for One More.
As primly as the Victoria Regina
she brought to the stage. she spread
her hands appealingly to the COM
mittee.
Il remember" she said slowly and
half smilingly, when I used to have
dinner with my grandmother-nine
children of us-that there was al
ways room for one more. There is
always room for one more, ones who
have no room elsewhere.
MY little girl reads the news
papers now and I can't help but
feel that 1t is brutalizing for q child
to read Of shiploads Of other chill
dren being rejected from port to
port, never knowing when or where
they would have a country again.
If Belgium and Britain and these
other countries can find room for
these children, surely we can find
room here"

D. A. R. Urges Strict
Control Of Alien

LiberoIizing Of Entry
Laws Opposed in
Unanimous Vote

The Daughters Of the American
Revolution today demanded strin-
gent enforcement of immigration
laws and strict control Of alien ac-
tivities in the United States.
Without a word Of discussion the
delegates, at their 48th Continental
Congress, voted unanimously against
making the legal requirements for
admission to the country more elas-
tic, and followed their action with
q spontaneous burst of applause.
In the same resolution, however,
they supported such measures as
could b carried out for the relief
Of oppressed peoples within the law.
The three resolutions on immikra-
tion and aliens we're:
l. Support Of legislation to pro-
vide for registration and finger
printing Of aliens.
2. Endorsement Of the purpose of
legislation to regulate formation and
activities Of private military forces
in the United States.
3. Urged that in the pressure and
necessities of the day" no steps be
taken to break down the legal re-
quirements for admission to the
United States and that such meas
ures as may be advisable for relief
OF oppressed people should be car
ried out within the law.
Financial Affairs.
Much more attention was given
by the delegates to the six resolu-
tions preceding the immigration
and alien measures. These resolu-
tions pertained to the financial af-
fairs Of the society.
The delegates voted to ask their
chapters to contribute cents per
capita for the support of the D. A. R
good citizenship program; cents pei
capita for the Ellis Island Commit
tee: 10 cents per capita for publica-
ton and distribution of the D. A. R
manual for citizenship; 2 cents fol-
the work of the Press Relations Com
mittee and 10 cents for support of the
work of the National Defense Com
mittee.
They also voted that the surplus OF
81 800 remaining in the memory booA
1und be used as a nucleus for the
proposed endowment fund, which Is
to be used for the promotion of D.

property. The resolutions were in.
