Running all the way from a

were in the war now, the COM
ments were considered as fore
runners of similar statements to
follow in Congress, although it is
generally agreed that all that can
be done about the action is to is
sue rebuking statements.
One commentator, in compli-
menting the President. stated
that if the matter had been left
up to Congress, that body would
have taken two months to debate
the subject and then may not
have passed the measure.
'Leaping from casual interest
in the war a year ago, the action
now taken by President Roose-
welt in turning over so of our
obsolete deStroyers, brings us al
most to the very front lines of
the European war, was the way
one correspondent put it this

Action IN the Senate this morn
ing consisted chiefly of routine
matters, though warning was
given that the Presidents I'M
precedented action would come
up for full discussion later.

mittee began hearings today on
