speculation as to whether Stain or
Hitler Is top-sergeant and giving
the orders. Certainly Russia's inter-

to Herr Hitler. Look at this:
First off, Russia has taken three
fifths of Poland, considerable por-

by the German Army.
Hitler has had to abandon his pet
scheme of taking over the wonder
fully rich Russian Ukraine, toward
which he has been looking with
longing eyes since days before he
came to power.

Diplomatic quarters in Moscow
express the opinion that Russia S
occupation of Eastern Poland has
prevented any direct German march
into Rumania through Poland. The
only way Germany now could get
to Rumania-should it wish tbs

British Foreign Secretary Lord

mystery Saturday night. This great
personality, whose own opinions
have so much weight in this crisis,
is said to have sent for Soviet Am

Section nine provides that the law

Called Real Bill for Peace.
Senator Connally, Democrat of
Texas, one of the members of the
Foreign Relations Committee who
drafted the bill, described the meas
ure as "a real bill for peace"
Our supreme motive is to keep
America out of this cruel and brutal
war;" he said, adding:
Under international law, neutral
nations have a right to sell to any
nation at war arms and ammunition
and all other kinds of goods and
commodities and to make such a
sale is in no wise a violation of
neutrality but is in conformity
Herewith. To refuse to sell Is to
violate neutrality.
"Other neutral countries are now
selling to the nations at war arms
and ammunition and all kinds of
supplies without any distinction be-
tween arms and other general sup
plies. None of these nations has
given up its right under interna-

high command can for the time
being more easily afford q lavish ex-
penditure Of war material than the
allies. For this reason 1t is believed
that unless the United States arms
embargo is repealed soon. a major
German attack on the western front
must be expected.
Italys If strongly urged by Ger
many, might play the same role as
Russia week before last. She may
throw her forces against France
and create another front for the
allies to defend. Whether Musso-
lini has finally made up his mind
to enter war or remain neutral
friendly to Germany-is not yet
known here. But the chances are
that If the Germans are success
full in their first efforts against the
allies in the west, Mussolini will
do what Stain has done-enter the
field of operations when the allies
are most hard pressed.
Nye's Embargo Argument.
The most powerful argument in
favor of the retention OF the en-
barge was expressed by Senator
Nye last week. He said that II
United States manufacturers are
permitted to accept orders for fin
ished war materials, these orders
will expand as they did in 1914-l7.
But when the purchasers cash is
exhausted, they won't be able to
buy anything here and the depres-
sion following the boom will be the
worst we have ever seen.
The isOlatiOnists maintain that
since we are determined not to 20
to war a spectacular increase in the
output of the American factories for
war material is not necessary; we
can take care of the needs of the
American national defense with
present facilities.
On the other hand, the argument
OF the isolationist group in the SEN

materials would get this country
into war, while the sale of raw ma
terials will not. is being shown as
falacious. Reports from Europe in

submarines because they were carry

good of the country.
