WASHINGTON, Sept. %.

President Roosevelt's appeal
to congress to remove the
embargo against export of arms
to warning nations.
Immediate objective of the ad-
ministration is speed. Senate iso-
lationists are maneuvering for long

The presidents opponents prom
ised a fight from hell to break
fast. They claimed nucleus OF
30 to 35 senate votes.
Administration leaders cited the
rally of conservative Democrats to
the PRESIDENT standard as an omen
of victory.
The big Democratic majorities,
however, appeared to be proportion
ately less broken on the neutrality
issue than the Republican front
Senate Democratic policy and
steering committees met today with
leaders to limit the session to
strictly emergency legislation. They
feared that delayed adjournment
might ieopardize the cash and car

ulation as to nationality of the
submarines.
The submarine sighed on the
Pacific side, he said, was seen OF
the southern boundary of Alaska
near where the boundary reaches
the Alaskan inside passage.
The second submarine was sight
ed so or 10 miles south of the tip
of Nova Scotia about half way be-
tween Nova Scotia and Nantucket
Shoals, the president said.
He said that for perfectly obvious
reasons, he could not disclose his
sources of information as to the
whereabouts of the submarines.
When asked about nationality OF
the undersea boats, Mr.. Roosevelt
jokingly said they might be Swiss.
One reporter suggested that they
might be Canadian submarines, Mr..
Roosevelt countered that they also
might be Bolivian or Afghan un-
dersea vessels.
The newly established neutrality
patrol of destroyers, coast guard
cutters and airplanes is operating
in the approximate location where
the submarine was reported sight
ed off the northeast Atlantic coast.
Mr.. Roosevelt said the patrol Is
operating roughly from the sorth-
ern border off Eastport. Me-. to
