Ambassador Kennedy
Arrives in London

LONDON, March 7 R.-United
States Ambassador Joseph P. Ken
nedy. returning from the United
States, arrived today by plane from
Paris to prepare for the visit Of
Undersecretary Of State Sumner
Welles next week. 81
Mr.. Kennedy reached Paris earlier
today on the same train which took
Mr. Welles from Switzerland TO the
French capital for three-day visit.
If isolation means a desire to
keep out of war, I should say it
definitely is stronger now in Amer
lea" Mr.. Kennedy told newsmen.
II think very definitely this feel
ing has been increased by the exam
ination Of mails and stopping Of
ships. I think such things as sink
ing neutral ships make an impress
sion on American minds but that
does not make America want to
go to war.
I'VE are not sitting on the side
lines and playing Uncle Shylock.
There is no war boom in the United
States, although certain industries
are getting allied business. But the
general dislocation Of business by
the war is hurting the United States
far more than she Is profiting by
the war"

Agreement Reported
On MiIder Substitute
Census Resolution
Senate Doesn't Object
To DeIetine Queries,
New Version Advises

A mild substitute for the Tobey
census resolution has been agreed
on by the members of the Senate
Commerce Committee, it was re-
ported today, and will be presented
soon to the Senate for action.
Instead OF making it the sense of
the Senate that the personal income
questions in the 1910 population
census-which begins April 1-be
deleted, the new resolution would
simply serve to advise the Census
Bureau that there would be no OBJ
lection on the Senate's part If the
questions were withdrawn.
Meanwhile, William L. Austin, the
director of the census, scolded the
Wisconsin census area manager for
the arrest of cobbler who refused
to answer questions in the census of
business-now being taken-and
ordered his release.
The cobbler, James Rosselli OF
Kenosha, had agreed to answer the
questions $50 long as they are put
to me polite" He was arrested on
Federal warrant charging failure
to give complete answers to census
taker and released on 5000 bond.
Mr.. Austin yesterday sent the
following telegram to Donald M.
Farris, census area manager at
Racine:
Withdraw Rosselli charges i'm
mediately. You have disregarded
instructions that before taking legal
action such cases must be submitted
to Washington Office for disposition.
You will be held strictly responsible
for this procedure. Instruct all dis
trict supervisors and enumerators
accordingly. Acknowledge receipt
of this telegram and confirm with
drawal of charges"

Quick Trade PROGRAM
Approval by Senate
Group 10 Be Sought
Harrison Will Ask
Clauses Be Left
To Debate in Chamber

Administration forces will try to
have the Senate Finance Commit
tee give quick approval tomorrow
morning to the House-approved
resolution continuing for three years
the Reciprocal Trade Agreement
Act.
Although a number of amend
ments are expected to be offered,
Democratic leaders are hoping to
persuade their sponsors to report the
resolution without change and fight
out the modifying proposals when
debate starts on the floor, probably
Monday.
Meanwhile, Senator La Toilette,
Wisconsin Progressive, a Finance
Committee member, is making plans
to urge adoption of the amendment
he filed yesterday, calling for the
setting up of an Export-Import
Control Board, to strengthen Amer
ica's economic defense against Euro
pean trade determinations.
The Trade Agreement battle will
reach its climax. however. on. the
proposal to require Senate ratifiea-
tion of future pacts. on the fheorH
that they are treaties and that the
power to execute them, therefore,
cannot be delegated to the executive.
Administration forces believe thel
have the votes to stop this, move,
but the result will be close. AS the
law now stands the State Depart.
ment can put agreements into effect
directly following negotiations with
foreign governments.
The La Toilette control board
would be composed of the Secre-
taries of State, Treasury. Interior,
Agriculture and Commerce. The
broad purpose of the board would
be to protect consumers from high
prices and producers from the
dumping of exports in this country
by belligerents seeking funds for war
purposes.
The decision to speed up commit
tee action tomorrow, instead of
waiting until Monday, was reached
by Chairman Harrison following an
unexpected conference late yester-
day with more than a dozen fellow
Democrats, most of whom are mem
bers of the committee.
Senate Majority Leader Barley
expressed hope the Senate will dis
pose of the Trade agreement fight
in 10 days.

PARIS, March 7.-President Albert
Lebrun, on behalf of a France avow-
edly determined to crush the present
German regime, received Sumner
Welles at the Elysee Palace today.
A company Of the Republican
Guard stood smartly to attention as
the automobile bearing Roosevelt's
emissary rolled into the courtyard.
Mr.. Welles Immediately entered
President Lebrun's office for cere-
monial visit before going to the war
ministry to see Premier Daladier.
War Intentions Stressed.
. Newspapers emphasized Frances
war intentions by recalling the ma
tion's mistake in thinking Germany
was d nation of poets and philos-
ophers despite the terrible proof Of
the World War and the rise Of Nazi-
ism"
Es After an hour and % minutes
with the President. Mr.. Welles, ac-
companied by Robert d. Murphy,
United States Charge d'Affaires,
went to the war ministry for an
interview with M. Daladier.
Later he was to visit Auguste de
Champetier de Ribes, French under
secretary for foreign affairs.
M. Daladier will entertain Mr..
Welles at dinner later with only a
few others present.
Mr.. Welles said he would fly to
London Sunday and be in Paris for
few hours again next week en-
route to Rome, where he will spend
two more days before sailing for
the United States March 18.

The Presidents investigator had
spent the night travelling from Lau-
same, Switzerland. in a special car
on the Simplon- Orient express, &C
companied by Joseph P. Kennedy,
United States Ambassador to Great

London during the day.
Mr.. Welles is believed to have
brought from Berlin clear picture
of Adolf Hitlers price for peace and
of German determination to fight to
the finish to attain the Fuehrer's
aims.

between the noted Swedish explorer
Sven Hedin and Adolf Hitler and
his foreign minister, Joachim Won
Ribbentrop, are regarded by many
observers as directly associated with
the supposed German-Swedish in
terest in seeing the war in Finland
settled.
Doubt was expressed in some in
formed circles, however, whether
any mediation bid from a Scandi-
navian country had a reasonable
chance of success.
These sources believed the Krem-
lin to have become embittered over
admitted Scandinavian sympathies
for Finland to such point that a
mediators role would be difficult.
The Finnish attitude toward ne
gotiations was regarded as question:
able, depending on the Firms opin-
ion Of their chance of continuing
their defense.
It was pointed out that the Firms
have expressed a consistent willing
ness to negotiate, provided they can
do so with honor and full recog-
milton Of their national integrity.
Nazi Warning Reported.
Official sources declined to discuss
reports that Germany had warned
Sweden that transit of volunteers
for Finland would be regarded as
unneutral.
The impression therefore prevails
here that Sweden is striving for a
peaceful solution of the war in Fin
land before arrival of foreign VOL
unteers for the Finnish cause fur
them complicates Sweden's own
status.
In Swedish political circles there
Is an increasing belief that Germany
is taking the initiative toward peace
talks in the northern struggle and
that it will be suggested that such
talks, if ever realized, be held in
Stockholm.
While arrival of volunteers from
Great Britain and France is ex-
pected, reports that these allies were
preparing regular troops for Fin
land were given no credence.
Sensational stories that British
aircraft carriers are en- route to the
Arctic coast of Finland have ap-
peared in some sections of the
Scandinavian press, but responsible
circles have declined to take them

he was expected to find French
opinion equally as unyielding and
based on one idea-beat Germany

The French position was reaffirm-
ed in the officially controlled press

Ladder will be his third with the

to see Hitler, and came here after a
respite in Switzerland.
During his visit here. it has been
announced. he will confer with Off
cials Of the Polish government in

Mr.. Welles has refused so far to
discuss publicly either his questions
to leaders in Rome and Berlin or
their answers, holding that his in
formation was for the Presidents
ears only, and there was no indica-
ton that his Paris conferences would
be exceptions to the secrecy rule.

Two More Houses
Ordered Evacuated
In Blasting Area
Ceilings and Walls Crack
As Rock Creek Sewer
Project Goes On

Tenants in two more homes near
the southwest corner Of Twenty
second and @ streets NV. were
under orders to evacuate today as
result of sinking caused apparently
by blasting and tunneling operations
for a section of the Rock Greek
diversion sewer project.
Two days ago Col. John w.
Oehmann, District building inspec-
tor, ordered evacuation of the
rooming house at 2200 @ street
after discovering that the building
was sinking and that cracks more
than an inch wide were appearing
in the walls.
Another inspection yesterday re-
suited in issuance of 24-hour evacua-
ton notice to tenants in two ad-
joining rooming houses at 1882 and
1884 Twenty-second street NV. Col.
Oehmann said the orders to vacate
were issued as precautionary
measure.
AS a result, more than 40 persons
today were facing the problem Of
finding new homes. H. w. Camp
bell, who operates the rooming
house at 2200 @ street, said he is
hunting living quarters for his wife
and son, Dick, a Western High
School student, and the IA roomers
who were forced to leave with them.
Others Have to Move.
Mrs. Bessie I. Bailey, who has 10
roomers in her house at 1884
Twenty second street, and Mrs
Delphia Koch, who has about IA
roomers at 1882 Twenty-second
street, also we're under orders to
evacuate today. Mrs. Koch said she
has moved to the adjoining premises
at 1880 Twenty-second street, which
she also operates as a rooming house,
but said she would not be able to
provide room there for tenants from
the 1882 Twenty-second street resi-
dence. The house at No. 1880 has
not been condemned.
Meanwhile, Col. Oehmann and
Thomas w. Marshall. consulting en-
gineer retained by the sewer con-
tractor, Joseph Lombardi Co., plan
ned to inspect the area again to see
what can be done to prevent further
distress to the buildings.
Evacuation of the Campbell home
was ordered after a section of the
lawn in front had sunk. The home
has been fenced of from the street
to keep passers-by far enough away
to escape being hit by falling ma
terials.
Ceilings and Walls Crack.
Inside the Campbell home ceilings
and walls are cracked and window
sashes have been pulled askew be-
cause Of the sinking. Ellwood john
son, the Districts resident engineer
on the sewer project, said there was
little likelihood of the house fall
ing apart. but that evacuation had
been ordered because District Off
cials did not want to be responsible
for injuries or deaths.
Blasting operations in the sewer
tunnel have been stopped temporari-
ly while Investigators attempt to de-
termine the specific cause of the
sinking. Work will be started again
1t was said, as soon as the cause has
been found. ---
