had voiced the opinion the Presi-
dent would not hesitate to make
any appropriate suggestions for
European peace.
Declaring he had not consuNe I
the White House, the Senator added
that it would be too much respon-
sibility" for the Chief Executive
to undertake the formal role of
mediator or arbitrator.
Tobey Motion May Come Up.
The immediate business before the
Senate when it meets tomorrow
may be the motion of Senator
Tobey, Republican, Of New Hamp-
shire to recommit the administra-
ton neutrality bill with instructions
to report out separate measures, the
first to put into effect the "cash-
and-carry" plan, and the second
for repeal of the arms embargo.
His purpose is to bring speedy
action on the cash-and-carry plan
in order to prevent any incidents"
which might lead us into war,
and to leave for more deliberate
consideration the arms embargo re-
peal--the really controversial part
OF the new neutrality bill.
Senator Pittman said he supposed
the Tobey motion would come up
for debate and action. Supporters
OF repeal are confident they can de-
feat the motion. They will hail the
result as test vote on the embargo
repeal. 1t is true that opponents of
repeal are expressing regret that the
Iobey motion is to be voted on at
this time.
Senator Tobey insisted yesterday
that 1t is mistake to consider a
vote on his motion a final test on
embargo repeal. He said:
Leaders in the Senate have
sought to give the impression that
the vote on my motion will be test
vote on the sentiment of Senators
on the issue of repeal of the arms
embargo. Clearly, my motion is in
no way connected with the issue of
the arms embargo repeal.
Separates Bill Into Two Parts.
"As every Senator knows, it merely
separates the bill into two parts and
sets up a procedure in the Senate
whereby the provisions to safeguard
American vessels and American
lives may be acted upon at once and
held up throughout the debate on
the issue of the arms embargo re-
peal. 1t merely places first things
first and will neither affect nor de-
lay the vote on the repeal issue. The
obvious motive of those who would
befog the issue and thereby seek to
prevent vote on the merits of my
motion is that of strategy politics.
Il am advised that opponents of
the motion have arranged to table
my motion, which procedure, under
parliamentary rules of the Senate,
would preclude debate on the merits
OF the motion. I cannot believe
this is true and cannot believe that
any member of the Senate would
move to cut off debate on an issue
that has such direct bearing on the
lives of American people.
Finally, I went to make it clear

Sabotage Rumors

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 7-J.
Edgar Hoover's Federal Bureau of
Investigation agents are looking
into reported sabotage aboard the
United States battleship Arizona.
It's machinery and water tanks were
rumored damaged duiing gunnery
practice of Southern California.
Mr.. Hoover also said his depart.
ment is keeping close watch on the
steamship Iroquois, enroute to New
York with American war refugees,
because a German official advised
that tine vessel would be sunk be-
fore 1t reached this country.
The head Of the F. B. I. said
that what happened abroad the
Arizona was "one of those things I
can't discuss" One rumor told of
damage ana another mentioned a

Mr.. Hoover did not say sabot-
age had been discovered but ex-
planned an investigation had been
ordered to determine whether there
had been any. The Arizona is
flagship Of Rear Admiral Russell
Wilson's battleship division one.
Discussing the I,oquois, Hoover
said the German report had been
given him at Washington and he
thought there were gocu grounds for
investigating.
1T is a matter on which we could
not afford to take a chance"
The smplics ion of the German
message. as announced by the
White House, was that the Iroquois
would be sunk by Britain or
France and the blame placed on
Germany.
The Iroquois is expected to reach
New York next Wednesday.
Mr.. Hoover came to the West
Coast to investigate sabotage, es-
pionage and neutrality violation"
The Department of Justice has
grouped these things as general
intelligence" with = resulting expan-
sion of the bureau.
Four New Offices Opened.
I'VE are getting an average of 214
complaints daily that fall into the
general intelligence classification. :"
Mr.. Hoover said. There were only
50 such reports a year prior to last
June.

ing Of foreign warships in waterA
adjacent to the United States.
At a press conference last month
Mr.. Roosevelt told of the sighting.
of a foreign submarine off Boston
and another near Southern Alaska.
At that time the Maritime Commis.'
sion advised American ships Of their
presence and presumably this was
done with reference to the craft
near Miami.
Has Ample Precedents.
While there was no indication the
President would follow them, he
mad, in the action Of former Chief
Executives, ample precedents for
becoming peacemaker In q foreign
war.
1t was as a result OF notes sent
by President Theodore Roosevelt,
a fifth cousin of the present Chief
Executive, that Russia and Japan
signed peace treaty which ended
the Russo-Japanese war on Oc-
tober 16, 1905.
A PACSCOCIlC dlSO WAS cSUdDllSIleQ
then for peace negotiations on
American soil, since Russian and
japanese representatives began
formal discussions at the Ports
mouth On. H) Navy Yard on August
8, 1905.
Theodore Roosevelt. who received
the Nobel Peace Prize in 1906, also
offered his services in adjusting dis
putes between Argentina and Chile
and Argentina and Brazil.
He intervened, too. in a dispute.
over Morocco which involved two
OF the present belligerents, France
and Germany.
On numerous occasions the
United States has helped adjust diff.
ferences in Latin America.
President Roosevelt was expected
to consider more fully upon his re-
turn to Washington Monday the
implications of the hints that Ger
many wants an armistice.
But today he spent much OF his
time under bright autumn sun
continuing to study the wooded
acres Of his estate, the injury dealt
them by drought, and plans for
planting new trees.

that my vote in favor of this mo-
ton will be no test whatever of my
attitude with regard to the issue
OF repeal of the arms embargo, and.
I repeat, the motion in no way
affects that issue"
Senator Pittman said he knew of
no plan to move to table the Tobey
motion.
When the Senate convenes at
noon tomorrow, Senator Downey,
Democrat, of California, an oppo-
nent of embargo repeal, is expected
to resume the attack on the admin
istration bill which he began Fri
day. Other Senators who are ready
to continue the debate include Sen
ators Clark of Missouri, Wagner of
New York and Danaher of Connec-
ticut, all Democrats.
Land Before Democrats.
Admiral Emory Land. chairman of
the Maritime Commission, appeared
yesterday before a meeting of the
Democratic members of the Foreign
Relations Committee to discuss the
effect of the cash-and-carry plan
on the American merchant marine.
Chairman Bailey of the Senate
Commerce Committee, which has to
do with legisla ation affecting the
merchant marine, also attended.
Later Senator Pittman said no &C
ton of any kind was taken on the
issue involved, and he indicated
there would be no changes made in
the bill.
He said, however, that Admiral
Land had told the committee he be-
lleved there would be a considerable
loss Of commerce to American Ship
ping because of the cash-and- carry
plan. Senator Pittman insisted that
the fundamental question was that
American seamen must not be killed
by attacks on American ships, as
they were in the World War before
this country entered it as a bellig-
erent power.
Senator Pittman said also that,
while there might be some effects
on shipping due to the bill, he felt
sure that there would be gains to
the American carrying trade with
South America and in the Pacific
Ocean.
Discussing the program for this
week, Senator Pittman said:

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Oct. T.
While the world looked to this quiet
Hudson Valley village today for any
sign that President Roosevelt might
propose an armistice in the Euro
pean war, the Chief Executive let
reporters know he had no comment
and then went out to look over
the trees on his country estate.
He kept in close touch with
Washington officials, however, and
the result Of one telephone CONVEX
sation was an announcement that a
third foreign submarine had been
seen in American waters-some IS
miles from Miami, Fla. It's identity
and the manner in which it was
sighted was not disclosed.
In respect to Intervention In Eu-
ropes affairs, persons having entry
to the temporary White House
gained the impression that no doubt
existed that news from Berlin-that
Adolf Hitler would agree to an
armistice if the President suggested
one-was officially inspired.
But they received the further i'm
preston that Mr.. Roosevelt would
take no action unless he was conf
dent of success. In that connection,
the GOODNESS with which Britain and
France received the speech in which
Hitler advocated general European
conference to adjust problems Of
the continent was noted.
Nothing to Say"
William Hassett, a presidential
aide, discussed with Mr.. Roosevelt
the Berlin reports, and then told
reporters:
THE President has specifically
authorized me to say he will not
have any comment on the dis
patches from Berlin. There is Moth
ing to say"
Advised that the lack of comment
would be interpreted as tantamount
to a rejection of the suggestions
that the President seek to effect an
armistice, Mr.. Hassett declared:
"The Interpretation is up to you
OF the submarine, Mr.. Hassett
said only that the President had
authorized him to disclose the pres
ence of the undersea ship, in line
with a policy OF reporting the sight

Canon Stuart Morris. head of the

was renouncing his orders in the
Anglican church as a protest against
the attitude of "a great part of the
Church of England" toward the

most just of causes" he said, 1T

Royal Visit to Provide Capitals
Outstanding Social Event

neither Of which could compete with
suites in New York's better hotels.
The King and Queen each will have
a bedroom and bath and will share
the Monroe room as q lounge. It
was in the Monroe room the treaty
with Spain was signed, and it was
that room the cabinet used for meet
ings. Its long windows look down
on the White House lawns. And
certainly the upholstered chairs,
heavy velvet drapes and gilt-framed
mirrors should remind the visitors
of their dear old great-grandmother,
Victoria.
No. l Social Honor.
They will breakfast in bed, If they
wish. For the rest Of their visit
here they will be at the mercy of
the State Department and the Brit
ish Embassy. One event is certain
a state dinner at the White House,
to which some 80 of the luckier and
more illustrious social lights will be
invited. And already deep schemes
are afoot among the dowagers to
wangle invitations to the event. Ger
tainly such an invitation would be
a gold seal on any social cayeer.
This royal couple has been pre-
ceded here by their more spectacular
brother, the present Duke of Wind
sor, and by their grandfather, Ed
ward VII. Both came here before
they assembled the British throne.
Buchanan was President when Ed
ward visited in 1860. The enter
tainment must have been pretty stifI
for the gay Prince, because Bu-
chanan thought dancing much be-
low the dignity of the visit. How
ever, his hostess was Harriet Lane,
his young niece. She headed a party
which took Edward by boat to
Mount Vernon, and the boat had
no sooner showed off than the young
people had minuet in full swing.
Years later, when Wilson was
President, and when he was confined
to his bed, Edwards grandson, the
present Duke Of Windsor, visited.
That was 1919. He went upstairs to
Wilson's bedroom to chat, and lean
ing over Wilson's bed chuckled at
the stories the President had COL
lected about his grandfather's visit
SO years before.
That same year, 1919, the King
and Queen of Belgium were here to
pay respects for the part this coun-
try played in the World War. The
King had been here as a prince in
1898. when he Travelled informally as
the Count de Rethy. His son, who
also travelled as Count de Rethy,
came in the 20s.
Hoovers Stiffiy Formal.
In 1881 the King and Queen of
Siam visited. They stayed in the
Larz Anderson home; Anderson had
ambassador-ed in the Far East and
his Washington home was on the
royal scale. complete with art GAL
lery and conservatory. The stiffest
formality was observed by the Her.
bert Hoovers. On the first morning
the Siamese pair paid a call at the
White House and then rushed home
to receive call from guess whom?
Why, from the Hoovers-a return
visit which was all very royalty
proper.
But royal visits have not always
been so stiff. Around 1890 Edward,
the Duke of Kent, was here. That
was shortly after the British had
wrapped up their guns and gone
I
enough to bring along food-tasters.
He learned that Americans Didn't
feel bitterly enough to harm him, so
he turned on democracy plus.
Trying to be democratic, he stopped
