On his motion to separate the
embargo repeal clause from the rest
of the bill, Senator Tobey was sup
ported by only IA other Republicans,
Democrats, l Farmer-Laborite and
Progressive. Seven Republicans
| joined 81 Democrats and Senator
Norris, independent, of Nebraska to
defeat the motion.
Disagree on Test of Strength.
Senator Clark and others opposed
to embargo repeal contended the
vote was not indicative of embargo
sentiment.
Chairman Pittman of the For
eign Relations Committee and Ma
jority Leader Barkley, on the other
hand, asserted the vote was not
only test of strength, but that the
administration would pick up two
or three more votes on final pas
sage. Both predicted complete VIC
tory before the end of next week
Senator johnson. Republican, of
California, an opposition leader. said
a test might come first, not on the
Clark move to strike out the re-
peal clause, but on a motion to re-
quire cash on the barrel head" for
all belligerents' purchases in this
country. The pending bill would
permit 90-day credits.

hope for us if we get beat on that, "

President Roosevelt said at his
press conference late yesterday that
he had received no offers or over
lures from abroad to help restore
peace in Europe He added he did
not think much of stories from
Berlin that Chancellor Hitler might
welcome another Roosevelt peace
move. Mr.. Roosevelt said he had
told Lord Beaverbrook at luncheon
story of a farmer whose opinion
on some subject he sought by say
ing: pete, you have seen by the
papers," etc. Then he quoted Pete
as relating:
Wait minute, son. You know
about your friend, Adam. He got
into trouble. His wife told him to
eat nice, red Mcintosh apple and
he would get wise.
Adam ate the apple and he and
his wife were both thrown out of the
Garden of Eden and spent an un-
comfortable night in the fog. The

which followed rumors that the
British government was crumbling
and that the western powers wanted
to lay down their arms, were dashed
when it was learned there had been
no apparent change in the war aims
Of Britain and France.
The source of the armistice rumor,
which spread like wildflre, remained
profound mystery. 1t circulated
first in Berlin, then throughout the
country with incredible speed.
Work was interrupted in many
offices. Friends telephoned each
other and there even were the be-
ginnings of impromptu celebrations.
Some insisted they heard the re-
port froms the German radio. A
woman coming from suburban
police station said she heard it from
a police onicial.
To put the brakes on the confusion
and bring the people back to cold
reality, the German radio early in
the afternoon denied the reports, and
Germans soberly settled back to
| their war duties.
The German press in afternoon
editions charged the hoax was "a
shameless, frivolous trick of the Brit
ish ministry of lies" aimed at spread
ing confusion. What practical bene-
fit Britain could have gotten from
such report or how it could have
been set afoot went unexplained.
| One plausible explanation was that
illegal, so-called blind radio send
ers,' which have been butting in on
the wave-lengths of established sta
tions, started the report and that 1t
actually was heard by some radio
listeners.
There is one such blind sender
calling itself the Liberty Station. .
which occasionally assails the Ger
man government. Last night another
such station was broadcasting music
with the announcer at intervals
shouting Hail Austria"

next day Eve was trying to make up
for the discomfort she had caused
them and snuggled up to Adam and
remarked that she had seen some
thing in the papers.
Adam stopped her by saying

forget that since yesterday after
noon I'm wise"
Lodge Sees Risk Increased.
Senator Lodge. Republican. of
Massachusetts,, grandson of the late
Senator of the same name who led
the fight against the League of Ma
tions, made the closing speech in
yesterdays round of Senate neu-
trality oratory. Opposing the ad-
ministration bill, he said:
"The proposal to repeal the en-
barge would certainly tend to aug
ment our war trade and to that ex-
tent to increase the risk of getting
into war.
Because it would admittedly
change the balance of power while
the war is on, repeal would destroy
our neutrality"
Senator Bailey, Democrat, of North
Carolina. advocate of repeal, spoke
before Senator Lodge and urged re-
vision of the restrictions on Ameri-
can shipping. He estimated the bill
would put out of service LAG ships
aggregating 100000 gross tons.
L Senator Danaher, Republican, OF
Connecticut told the Senate that il
the bill were passed and the Presi-
dent or Congress failed to invoke it
there would be no restrictions on
credits to belligerents.
Green's Reply Published.
Senator Pittman made public to-
day in reply memorandum from
Joseph c. Green, executive secre-
tary Of the Munitions Control
Board. 1t said:
"It may be stated categorically
that every contract which the Brit
ish and French governments have
made with American companies fol-
the purchase of arms, ammunition
and implements of war has provided
for partial payment in advance OF
delivery and full payment on de-
livery"
The memorandum said that since
January l, 1898, the British gov
ernment had placed orders for $44.-
800. 900 worth of American arms
and the French $l04 500 900. Ap-
proximately $27,OO0, 900 worth were
exported to Britain and $40 900 ,0O(
to France before the imposition o1
the arms embargo.

want six months hence to have new
unrest, the authorized German
sources insist, Germany replies that
she, too. wants an end to interfer-
ing with Germany.
Of1icial Germany. they continue,
highly resents being doubted all the
time; hence she insists that asper-
sions on her intentions must cease
as a part Of the pacif1cation process
Of Europe.
"All we did was liquidate YER
sailles." one informed source said.
I'VE have again and again given
binding declarations regarding our
western boundaries. The world
should at last recognize this. Dala-
der knows that that is true"
Progress Seen by Spokesman.
Summing up. one spokesman said
that the Daladier speech marks
progress. Germany, through her
Fuehrer, has reiterated-from feel
ing of strength rather than from
weakness-the Reich's readiness for
peace and again d'savoWed aggres-
sive intentions. Hence M. Dala-
dier's demand for security merely
voices what Germany has been
clamoring for for years.
The general impression of observ-
ers here was that British views had
not been fully formulated.
A close watch was being kept on
British political developments prior
to the Chamberlain speech and in
some quarters it was thought the
dominions were playing an impor-
tant part in the formulation OF
policies. The German press en-
phasized the continued conferences
with representatives Of the domin-
ions, expressing belief they were
unenthusiastic about the war.
Delayed reaction to Hitler's pro-
posals apparently was causing con-
cern. One editor wrote that -four
days ought to be enough" for some
sign of appreciation for Hitler's ef-
forts to establish lasting peace.
False Hopes Aroused.
German impatience. observers
said, was attributable partly to false
hopes aroused by rumors which few
through Germany yesterday that
the western powers were seeking ar
armistice.
Germans experienced an emotion
al letdown last night after the re-
ports were ofhcially declared to be
| false.
