CARDINAL S Last

CHICAGO, OF. 3. (UP)-George
Cardinal Mundelein posthumously
counseled the nation today to lie;
congress and President Roosevelt
solve the problem of maintaining
this country's neutrality in the Eu-
ropean war instead of high pres
suring' them with a deluge of let
ters 'and kilograms.
The message was deliverd in a
nationwide radio address by the
Most Rev. Bernard H. Shiel, senior
auxiliary bishop of Chicago, only
Il hours after the cardinals death.
1t urged Catholics in the United
States to support the presidents
neutrality program. The Rev. Char
les E. Coughlin, Detroit radio priest,
has urged his listeners to petition
their congressman by letter and

I. A motion to send the propos-

2. A motion to strike out the

send the remainder of the bill back

Meanwhile, administration lead

provision in the bill that would
permit the president to grant 90
day credits to belligerent govern

That sacrifice would be made, it
was said, in the interest of assur-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. (UP)-
Sen. William E. Borah, r., Ida,
the No. orator of those opposing
the repeal of the arms embargo,
may have cost the administration
the votes of six or seven doubtful"
senator's by his two hour speech
of yesterday afternoon, a promi-

That estimate was based on i'm
mediate reaction to Borah's appeal
for defeat of President Roosevelt S
proposal to substitute a le-and-
carry program for the present en-
barge on arms sales to belligerents.
The Democratic senator claimed
that the president still was assured
of approximately two to one vic
tory. He said that administration
conducted polls showed 81 senators
pledged to vote for embargo repeal.
The loss of few doubtful and un-

immaterial.

Joined in, which at the present time
appears also improbable. I am con-
fident that our naval experts will
confirm that this dominance of
sea power may be damaged, but
cannot be destroyed by aircraft.
The submarine may be troublesome,
but there has been great progress
in methods of detecting submar-
ines since the last war, and this
type of warfare is less dangerous
than formerly. Even in the last
war it had no major effect upon
naval command of the seas.
THE losses of merchant shipping
in the first month are much less
than in the first month after the
intensive submarine attack began
in the last war. The allies may
have lost perhaps 100000 tons of
merchant ships. They have 20000,-
900 tons left, and can hire more.
They cannot be starved out OF
either food or materials by any
combination of European powers.
The enemy, whether it be Germany
or even Italy or even Russia, must
cross the seas to invade with troops,
either England or the British or
French possessions in Africa, India,
Australia, or the western hemi-
sphere. Allied sea power will stop
that
"On the military front the sole
point Of attack is on continental
France. France is protected by very
much more powerful Notifications
and armies than in 1914 am con-
fident our military experts will
confirm that it takes two or three
times as many men on the part of
attack to overcome the man power
behind modern Notifications such
as those which surround France.
The French army is the best in
the world.
Germany has a population Of
about 80000,000 Germans from
which TO draw man power The
allied empires have about $4,000, =
600 white population and 100000 600
more of fighting races which they
can draw from to protect France
And their possessions contain an
other 450,0OO0OO people that can
aid in food, raw material and mu-
nitions production. The allies can
put more men on the front and
support them better than the Ger
mans"

adopt urgent dispositions based on
such precedents, and in guarantee
of these interests to avoid a repeti-
ton of the dangers and Sufferings
experienced by the American ma
tions and their citizens in the 1914
1918 war.
There is no duobt that the gov
ernments OF the American republics
ought to foresee these dangers as a
means of self-protection and to
insist upon the determination that
in their waters and up to a rea-
sonable distance from their coasts
no hostile acts may be engaged in
or bellicose activities carried out
by participants in a war in which
the said CAmerican) governments
Go not participate.
For these considerations, the
governments of the American re-
publics resolve and herewith de-
clare:
Il. AS a measure of continental
protection, the American republics,
as long as they maintain their neu-
trality. have the undisputed right
to conserve free from all hostile
acts by any belligerent non-Amer-
ican nation. those waters adjacent
to the American continent which
they consider of primordial interest
and direct utility for their rela-
tions. whether such hostile act is
attempted or carried out by land,
sea or air.
These waters described Will be
determined in the following man
ner:
"All waters within the limits
herewith specified except the ter
ritorial waters Of Canada, colonies
and undisputed possessions of Eu-
ropean countries within these
limits.
"2. The governments of the AM
erican republics agree to make an
effort to seek observance by the
belligerents of the dispositions con-
tanned in this declaration through
joint representations to the gov
ernments actually participating in
hostilities or those that may par
ticipate in the future.
This procedure will in noWlse
affect the exercise of the individual
rights of each state inherent in its
sovereignty.
SO. The governments of the Am
erican republics further declare
that whenever they consider il
necessary they will consult among
themselves to determine what meas
ures they can take individually OF
collectively for the purpose of OBJ
tanning fullfillment of the dispoSi-
tions of this declaration.
a. The American republics. as
long as there exists a state of wal
in which they themselves are not
participating and whenever they
consider it necessary, may carry
out individual or collective patrols
which ever they may decide through
mutual agreement or as far as the
elements and resources of each one
permit, in waters adjacent to their
coasts within the zone already de-
fined"

er, that a dangerous emotionalism
is diluting American reasoning;
that the idea is spreading rapidly
in certain sections of this country
that France and England are facing
defeat and, that in order 10 avoid
catastrophe to civilization and to
save ourselves the Uniten States
must sooner or later enter the
European war
ut is true said Mr.. Hoover,
"there is the utmost danger in war
times of emotions overwhelming
common sense. The most regret
table thing that could happen to
us would be the building up of a
war party In the United States.
But the premise of the ideas you
mention is wrong.
THE war is only a month old.
But the major factors are already
emerging. The British and French
can, and will. control the seven
seas despite submarines and aero
planes, and can sit there until their
enemies are exhausted. BY their
sea power the allies can protect
England and all the outlying pos
sessions of both empires from in
vasion. Their man power can de-
fend France unless they blunder
into taking wild adventures in mill
tary offensives and exhaust their
man power Aerial warfare may be
destructive, but that works both
ways and, so far as all eXperince
goes, is not conclusive Of any war.
If one surveys the whole front
sea. land. air and economic re-
sources-I am convinced the allies
can defend their empires. The end
may be victory for them. AT worst
il might be stalemate. ! do not
see any possibility that it can be
defeat"
In view of the obvious importance
of the American people moving on
facts and not on emotion, l asked
Mr.. Hoover TO ampify this state
ment. he said.
"On the sea the British and
French have naval strength Of
about 2.500,000 tons against Ger
manys about 100000 tons. Russia,
even If she comes in, which is
improbable. has negligible navy.
Italy has about 100000 tons. Ger
