sion of yesterdays debate in the
British House was that it might
mark an extremely important turn
ing point in this curious, excep-
tional war without war"
Diplomatic circles appeared i'm
pressed by the stand of former
Prime Minister David Lloyd George,
who limited at the influence that
Italy, the United States and Soviet
Russia could exert toward effecting
peace.
Prime Minister Chamberlain's as
surance that any peace plan worthy
of consideration would be given
careful study also was regarded as
encouraging, though well Uniformed
Italians said they doubted that any
proposals which might be contained
in Hitler's speech before the Reich
stag this week would have any
chance for success.
Some Italians seemed to feel that
optimism based upon the carefully
worded declarations of British
spokesmen was no more than grasp
ing at straws in the wind. So dis
astrous did the prospect of a general
European war appear to Italians,
however, that they were inclined to
seize upon the slightest grounds for
hope.
The government, still silent on the
subject for Foreign Minister Count
Galeazzo Ciano's weekend visit to
Berlin, apparently was awaiting
Hitler's speech before making any
commitments in situation re-
garded as extremely delicate.

Downey Interrupts.
The galleries were treated to a
brief bit of sharp repartee when
Senator Downey, Democrat, of Cali
fornia, interrupted Senator Con-
nally's argument that the embargo
prevents victims of aggression from
obtaining weapons after a war has
started, although it permits wide
spread sale Of war implements by
this country before the fighting
starts. =
"Is the Senator making an argu-
ment that the United States should
not sell any implements of war
even in time Of peace?" Senator
Downey inquired.
After the Texan had replied that
he was merely pointing the incon-
sistency caused by the embargo,
Senator Downey put this question:
Would the Senator vote for re-
peal if Germany was the beneficiary
instead of England and France?"
That question is an insult" Sen
ator Connally retorted, adding that
1t intimated he was actuated by a
desire to help England and France
while the Senator from California
was following lofty motives.
Remark Not Withdrawn.
If the Senator wishes me to, I'll
be glad to withdraw the question, i"
Senator Downey responded.
Senator Connally hastened to as
sure the Californian he need not
withdraw it, and added:
While I have the greatest re-
spect for the Senator from Cali
fornia In his chosen field of eco
nomics, I feel he should stick to
that field rather than become a
spiritual or mental censor"
Senator Connally described briefly
other features of the neutrality bill
including the proposal to allow the
President to prescribe combat
areas" into which American ships
may not 60 even if they are carry
ing merchandise to other neutral
nations, and into which American
travellers may not go.
He supported the provisions re-
lating to the use of American waters
by vessels of the belligerent nations
and to the National Munitions Con-
troll Board.
The primary purpose, Senator
Connally said, is to keep this coun-
try out of war. He denied fatty that
by repeating the arms embargo there
was purpose of intervening on the
side of Britain and France.
I'VE are not intervening, he in
sisted. THE joint resolution (the

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY ON
THE WESTERN FRONT, Oct. A.
This is a very polite war they're
having along the western front.
French officers do not refer to
their opponents as the enemy, or
even as Germans. They call them
the adversary Boys in the ranks
have dropped the "Boche," which
their fathers used in the last war.
They say Fritz"
The same Unconditional attitude
characterizes the combat. For ex-
ample, the French artillery opens
up on the Germans. The guns then
cease firing. The French know that
As minutes later the German guns
will reply. They do, and the ex-
change ends.

is high enthusiasm in this war.

attended an afternoon enter
tainment for soldiers. 1t was in
the theater OF a small town just
behind the lines. A local priest
played the accompaniments, and
regimental talent performed before
a crude backdrop showing a street
scene with balloon-like trees and
tipsy buildings. The most applauded
pieces were Schubert's' "Serenade"
and a musical comedy sketch by
Offenbach. The first composer was
born in Austria, the second in Ger
many.
The troops display considerable
interest in war measures and mill
tary affairs. If you ask what is
their war aim, they reply it is to
cut Germany into small states so
they will never bother us again."
In turn, they inquire repeatedly
about American public opinion and

Despite Prime Minister Chamber
lain's warning that only real peace
dove carrying nothing but an olive
branch would be favorably received
in England, Herr Hitler insists on
sending his heavily armored bird
with a withered "ersatz" olive branch
to the capitals of the allied countries.
1t is essential for him, despite Mr..
Chamberlain's definite statement
that a peace by intimidation is not
the kind of peace the British are
likely to accept, to make a last ef-
fort.
The German people have to be
told the Fuehrer has left no stone
unturned to spare them the horrors
Of q prolonged war. The Italians
must be told by II Duce that the
totalitarian states have done all they
could to prevent the spreading of the
war to other fronts, but were met
with q positive refusal from the
"bloodthirsty" democracies. And
finally, for propaganda purposes, the
people Of the United States must be
shown that the meek and mild Rus
slams, Germans and Italians were
all for peace but could not obtain it
because Mr.. Chamberlain did not
want it.
So, the German peace dove will fly
out Of its cage in the Reichstag.

The German general staff does not
believe In the possibility of "bntz-
krieg" lightning war; on the west
ern front. In Poland this was pos
sible because the fortiflcations the
Poles had hastily constructed were
Just like sand castles for the heavy
German artillery. AS a matter Of
fact they were never actually
manned and the German high COM
mand was able to transport its heavy
truck artillery to the western front
while fighting was still going on in
Poland.
The German general staff realizes
that it cannot break through the
Maginot line with ease, even If it
were prepared to sacrifice a million
men or more for that purpose. Its
strategy must be totally different
from that adopted in Poland. 1t will
be continual hammering as the

guns and an endeavor to cause the

called neutrality" act-had failed
to discourage or prevent war, one OF
the purposes for which it was en-
acted. He charged that the embargo
really assisted militaristic and ag-
gressive nations, since they are at
liberty to buy as many arms as they
desire during peace time, while
peace-loving nations, which may fail
to build up their national defense,
cannot purchase arms here after they
shall have been attacked.
Cites International Law.
Under international law, he con-
5inued, American citizens have per-
feet right to sell arms and munitions
to whom they desire, and have main
tanned that right for $50 years.
"Other nations" Senator Connally
said, now are selling to the ma
tions at war arms, ammunition, I'M
plements of war, raw materials, food
supplies, and every character Of sup
ply needed in warfare. They are
committing no act of Immortality.
If other nations may pursue such q
course without violation of neutral
ity, why would it be unneutral for
the United States to pursue similar
course?
How can Germany complain that
we sell arms to warning nations
when she is buying from neutral ma
tions?"
Senator Connally answered the
charge that by lifting the embargo
on arms this country would be help
ing England and France, which con-
troll the sea, by pointing out that
Germany today can purchase from
many countries on the continent
from which the Western democracies
cannot purchase.
Entitled to Advantages.
I'VE are not responsible for the
geography of the earth," he ex-
claimed. 1--WE made not the ocean.
We drew not the boundaries Of Eu-
rope"
He said that if Germany was en-
titled to her geographical advan-
tages, with easy access to the mar
kets of Central Europe, England and
France were entitled to their geo.
graphical advantages also.
1--WE do not propose to limit or
abridge the advantages which Ger
many enjoys on land, neither should
we limit or abridge similar advan-
tages which Great Britain and
France may enjoy on the sea-" he
added.
AN arms embargo, which permits
sales OF arms and ammunition in
time of peace and denies such sales
IN time OF war, encourages the high

eminent itself had spoken in de-
nouncing the act before this war
began. The Government still neces-
sarily includes Congress. Congress
has never denounced the code or the

moment. Their passage was over
whelmingly ratified by popular opin-
ion. The people wanted this de-

"The truth of the matter is that

is to indict the whole Congress, the
whole Government and the whole
body Of American public opinion

was not pro-British or pro-French

was simply and wholly pro-America.

authority cannot be altered by any
events abroad. 1t is still exclusively

Germany did not hesitate to sink
our ships before we entered the
World War and were at peace"
Senator Connally told the Senate.
"She will not hesitate to do so now"
The Texas Senator, one of the
drafters and strong supporter of
the administrations new neutrality
measure, argued that if the present
arms embargo law were not repealed
promptly and the "title-and-carry"
plan adopted without delay I'VE will
be brought to the brink of war, per-
haps plunged into its dark and cruel
depths"
Lane Is Roped OF.
In order to avoid congestion in
the corridors on the gallery floor,
Capitol police today set up a roped-
of lane on the floor below, where
hundreds continued to wait pa
tiently in line after the galleries
had been filled. The line extended
from the Senate chamber half way
across the main corridor of the
Capitol to the rotunda.
Those in line were waiting to
move up slowly as any Of the earlier
arrivals might leave during the
afternoon.
A move to split the neutrality leg
islation into two parts-with i'm
mediate action on the "title-and-
carry" sections of the measure-will
be made by Senator Tobey, Repubi-
can, of New Hampshire as soon as
he can obtain the floor. His pur-
pose is to hasten prohibition OF
American ships from carrying any
goods to the belligerents as the
surest means of keeping this coun-
try, from becoming involved in the
European war. Action on the con-
troversial arms embargo repeal, he
says, may be long delayed.
While this plan has support of
Senator McNary, the minority leader,
it has been frowned on by the ad-
ministration forces.
In his address, Senator Connally
insisted that the present arms en-
barge act-which> he said, is mis-

tools in cold and calculated and
deliberate planning to rob a bank.
After the robbery begins, 1t would
prohibit the owner or guard from
securing arms or defensive weapons
with which to resist and prevent the
unlawful looting and the commission
of a crime"
Arguing that the present arms
embargo Is no guarantee against
this country's being drawn into the
European war, Senator Connally
read to the Senate q list of Is Amer
ican vessels which had been at
tackled or sunk by Germany prior
to the World War, vessels which
were carrying supplies other than
arms and munitions, some Of them
food and oil. :
What Germany did in the World
War she will do in this war;" he
predicted. What she did in the
World War she is already doing
now" with her unrestricted subma-
rine warfare, which already has de-
stroyed the vessels of other neu-
trails.
The danger of such attack on
American ships and American lives
Senator Connally said, can be re-
moved by the adoption of the title
and-carry" provisions of the new bill
as substitute for the arms en-
barge. He added:
mo American vessel can carry
cargo to nations at war under the
pending joint resolution. American
vessels are prohibited from carrying
to nation at war either arms
ammunition or implements Of war,
or any other kind of cargo.
Illustrations Given.
IF arms, ammunition or imple-
ments Of war, and if any general
cargo of any character go from
American shores, they must 60 in
foreign vessels and not in Ameri-
can vessels. Before any good des-
tined for a naticn at war leaves
our shores, title to the goods must
be transferred and divested out OF
any American citizen or American
owner. If such a ship should be
sunk, it would be a foreign ship
If such a cargo should be sunk, il
would be a foreign cargo. The
American Government would owe
no duty or obligation either to the
owner of the ship or to the owner
of the cargo.
"On the other hand, under the
present Embargo Act, if an Amer
ican ship destined for a nation al
war carrying general cargo shoulo
be sunk, it would be in violation
of international law, and 1t woule
be the duty Of the Government tt

This Changing World
Hitler Must Make Lost Peace Gesture.
Even Though Certain Of Its Failure

Waves Of airplanes will be lombard
ing French and possibly British in
dustrial centers.
The present odicial communicates
talk about the loss of four or five
airplanes. When the war really
starts the loss of a few planes will
not be worth mentioning in a COM
munique. The chief strategy of the
Germans is believed to be the de-
struction, as far as possible, of the
French industrial centers, in order to
make the shortage Of war materials
keenly felt. II that strategy Sue
ceeds and war materials from the
United States are slow in coming
across the Atlantic, the Germans fig
ure that they have a good chance of
breaking French resistance. They
also count on the fact that British
forces cannot reach France in large
numbers before the end Of this year.
The Germans also count on Brit
ain having to send forces into
France sparingly. 1t is believed
here that Russian Dictator Joseph
Stain will try to make diversion
in the Middle East by starting a
campaign against India through
Iran and Afghanistan. For over a
century the dream of the Russian
imperialists has been to get to In
dia. 1t was for this reason that re-
lations between Britain and the
Russian Empire never were really
cordial. When the Bolshevist re-
gime was installed in Moscow, the
British saw in 1t blessing in dis
guise. They believed that for many
years the U. S. S. r. would be too
weak and isolated to attempt any
thing against India. This was one
Of the reasons why the British
diplomats became incautious and
urged Herr Hitler to try to expand
eastwards toward the Ukraine. They
figured that If they could get the
Russians and the Germans to fight
ing, they would be both so weakened
at the end of the war that the Brit
ish Empire could rest in tranquility
for quite number of years. Italy's
melodramatic gestures never wor-
ried the British statesmen. But
Russia did. This is probably the
main reason why the various British
governments, and especially the
British general staff, were so luke
warm to any kind of cooperation
with the U. S. S. r. They feared
that the clumsy bear might eventu-
ally prove too heavy a match for the
agile lion. He could take more pun
ishment, even though he was
heavier and more uncouth.
