America Is Thai Way" About
 Canada; Situation As 10 War
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA. = The Presidents message to Congress made clearer than ever the special situation of Canada in our relations to the new war.
 Under the Neutrality act as 1t was up to May 1, Csnada-at war have bought nothing from this country that she did not buy with cash and carry away in her own ships or trains.
 On May l the cash-and-carry section of the Neutrality act died. That left it legal, even after war started, for American ships to carry supplies to belligerent na- tions so long as the supplies were not actually arms or implements of war
 In his message the President proposed a substitute for cash and carry. It was the same sub stitute proposed last session:
 To have Congress authorize
 the President to designate cer-
 tain combat zones" on the
 ocean into which American ships
 might not travel.

IINDBERGH ADVOCATES ALL } FOREIGN POWERS TO QUIT WESTERN HEMISPHERE NOW

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-In a radio address. Col. Charles A. Lind bergh called last night for main tenance of the embargo on "offen- sive weapons and virtually demand ed that Great Britain and other European Powers get out of this Hemisphere lest they drag the Unit ed States into war.
 We desire the utmost friendship with the people of Canada. If their country is ever attacked our Navy will be defending their seas, our soldiers will fight on their battle fields and our fliers will die in their skies, but--have they the right to draw this hemisphere into the Eu- ropean war because they prefer the Crown of England to American in dependence?
 Sooner or later we must demand freedom on this continent and it's surrounding islanoz from the dic- tates of European Powers.
 American history clearly indi- cates this need As long as Euro pean Powers maintain their influ- ence on our hemisphere, we will likely find ourselves involved in their troubles and they will lose no opportunity to involve us"
