For fueIinq British Ship
BY the Associated Press.

the United States Navy give a
complete explanation" of why the
British light cruiser Caradoc was
allowed to load fuel at the San
Diego, Calf, naval depot Thursday
Senator Holt, member of the Sen

there should be some exceptional
reason for allowing armed warships
of belligerent to come into an
American port, load oil and then
depart" He added that 'it appears
some public officials are trying to
| get this country involved"
Chairman Bloom of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee told re-
porters "the Senator is unduly
alarmed and I think he'll get a
satisfactory answer" from Acting
Secretary of the Navy Edison.
Representative Bloom called at
tention to section of the Neu-
trality Act allowing belligerent war
ships to enter American harbors
Under that section they must leave
within "a hours after taking aboard
only enough fuel to. carry them to
the closest port of their country.

Other reasons advanced were
stricter enforcement under more
severe conspiracy laws that punish
distributors as heavily as the manu-
facturers, and avoidance of the fair
by the wise guys" or big money"
handlers because of belief it would
be closely watched.
Secret Service agents were as
signed to special Office in the ex-

In a letter of appreciation to

felt sure that the very efficient and
high standard of duty performed

Villasenor.
1--WE can hope that now the prin-
cipal is firmly established that
American governments accept the
inescapable task of creating ma
chinery to make such investments
possible.
Plainly, the United States is the
key to such creation.
I'VE can only hope that when this
problem arises, the United States
will realize that the economic future
of the hemisphere where the United
States Is inevitably located, and
with whose destiny she is forever
linked. depends on the financial pio-
neering and cooperating of our
good neighbor to the North"
Proposed Central Bank.
Villasenor earlier had proposed
creation of central bank to handle
exchange and credits among Amer
lean countries, but it was learned
that number of delegates at a
closed session of the Monetary Com
mittee felt it was too complicated to
adopt without extended inveNiga-
ton.
He then introduced the invest
ment resolution, which. he said, was
substantially what I had in mind. "
The United States was not specifi-
cally mentioned in the resolution,
which called for essential capital"
for industrial and agricultural de-
velopment and to stabilize American
currencies.
The present week-long conference
was arranged by the Lima PAN
American Conference last December
specifically to discuss mutual treas
ury and exchange problems.
