Touching off the fight yesterday
was the testimony of Col. Stimson,
in favor of granting the President
the discretion to designate the ag-
gressor nation in international con-
f1ict and to apply the prohibitions Of
the neutrality statutes against the
aggressor alone.
The proposal not only brought
storm of critical questioning from
the isolationist committee members,
but the unqualified accusation later
from Senator Borah that such policy
would inevitably lead us into war.

arms to one side and refuse to sell
arms to the other side, we are al
ready in an attitude of war toward
the side which fails to get arms

Pact
Has |mperfections
In French Eyes
Agreement Is Accepted
As Stort, but Needs
Further Negotiation

BY EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER.
Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
PARIS. April 6 (By Radio) The
Anglo-Polish agreement is all right
as beginning, but unless completed
it may be useless. This was the
consensus of French opinion today
as details of the London agreement
were learned.
There are three imperfections in
the Polish-British pact In French
eyes:
/. British insistence on the ex-
clusion of Danzig from zones where
Polish vital interests are admitted
to exist. Danzig is a truly German
city, but the hinterland is and al
ways has been Polish. British in
sistence on abstract justice toward
Germany at a moment when the
only problem is to prevent any ac-
cretion of German strength is con-
Sidered here as showing the per-
manence of the spirit of Cliveden
or appeasement which almost sue
ceeded in delivering Europe to
Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler.
Bar to Rumanian Agreement.
2. Permitting the Poles to try TO
bring the Hungarians into the pic
ture before the adherence of Ru-
mania is certain. The Hungarians
and Bulgarians are being used by
Hitler as a deterrent threat to the
Rumanians. Allowing Polish For
eign Minister Joseph Beck to try to
introduce the pro-German Hun
garians before Poland has reas-
sured the Rumanians is considered
as likely to prevent a firm agree
ment with Rumania and as an
other sign of Col. Beck's inveterate
pro-German line. Rumania must
inevitably be anti-German if it
wishes to remain independent. Hun
garian is traditionally pro-German
and ceased to be an independent
state when the Germans took
Czecho-Slovakia.
3. The agreement slows up nego-
tiations between the democracies and
the Soviets and perhaps prevents
such negotiations from coming to
fruition. The Russians are essential
to an German front and any
defense without them is blind if not
a farce. Some people are asking
the question whether British
guarantee also will be given to
Lithuania, for if the Germans are
allowed to absorb Lithuania Poland's
chance of self-defense will be re-
duced by so per cent.
Britain Must Hurry.
Therefore. the situation remains
that unless the British hurry to COM
plete the agreement by other steps,
Hitlers counter -offensive-a threat
against Rumania and more particu-
larly against Yugoslavia-has a
chance for success.
The French awoke today with a
headache anyway, for yesterday even
pro- Franco Frenchmen who subordi-
mated French interests to their class
feeling admitted that Gen. Francisco
Franco and his allies have fortified
the Straits of Gibraltar, have erected
Notifications against Gibraltar. have

Joined the anti-Communist racket
and that the chances of compelling,
without violence, the Germans and
Italians to evacuate the Iberian
peninsula and the Balearic Islands
are diminishing every day.

The
SPORTLIGHT
Sorteodo Case Typical
Of Howard Hoodoo
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10 (NANA)-
The breaking down of Sorteado
marks another CLIP in the racing for
tunes of Charles S. Howard, who
deserves all the good luck in the
world and has had so little of it..
Mr. Howard paid $4,000 for the
horse and wouldn't have taken three
times that much for him-and then
the horse split a bone in his right
foreleg and it probably will be
necessary to destroy him.
This is in keeping with the luck
that attended Mr.. Howard with Sea-
biscuit in two Santa Anita Handi-
caps In the first, Seabiscult had
the race won comfortably-so much
so that his jockey nodded in the
stretch, and Rosemont was head and
head with him in a flash. The
horses struggled under the wire and
the camera caught their bobbing
heads. and when the picture was
developed Rosemonts nose was seen
to be few inches in front of Sea-
biscuits, and Mr.. HoWard-or
rather. his jockey-had blown
100000.
