AID TO THE ALLIES-In con-
formity with the Presidents prom
Use of effective material aid to the
Allies, fifty Curtiss dive bombers
were delivered from Naval reserve
bases to an aircraft company at
Buffalo, N. ", to be resold to the
Allies. Later several hundred
army planes were released for the
same purpose. Although a propos-
al by Senator Pepper to permit
sale of surplus" war supplies in
directly to the Allies was defeated
by Senate Committee, Admins
trative action was Immediately
taken to accomplish the same pur-
pose, whereby vast stores of rifles,
machine guns and ammunition
were released by the army to pri-
vate concerns for sale to the AL
lied purchasing commission. This
development created furore in
the Senate over the definition of
surplus" stock, as members point
ed out that such action might i'm
pair our own national defense.
However, the exchange of obso-
descent and surplus munitions was
approved in the Senate, 81 to Is,
amid charges of evasion" and vio-
lation of neutrality and interna-
tional law. In world power cir
cles, the United States is now re-
ferred to as a acknowledgement" in
stead of a neutral"
On Monday of this week, the
Administration, in order to speed
up delivery of warplanes to the
British, amended existing neutral
ity regulations so as to enable
American pilots to fly planes from
factories to Canadian delivery
points.
On Wednesday, announcement
was made that the United States
is releasing to the British twenty
high-speed mosquito boats" be-
ing built for the Navy in an exper-
imental project.
DEFENSE PLANS-The House
Foreign Affairs Committee debat-
ed last week a proposal to write
the Monroe Doctrine into law and
serve notice upon Germany and
Italy to keep hands off" allied
possessions in this hemisphere. On
Monday of this week, the Senate
passed, 76 to 0, resolution to this
Smyrna times., 1940-06-27

effect: declaring the United States
would oppose any transfer of ter
ritory in the Western Hemisphere
from one non-American nation to
another; in other words, while no
mention was made of Germany or
Italy. the measure is intended to
serve notice that we will not per-
NIT them to take possession of any
British, French or Netherlands
soil in the Americas. On Tuesday
the House passed this legislation
by a vote of 382 to 8.
Another bill before the Military
Affairs Committee would give the
President authority to call out the
National Guard for service on this
continent and on that of our pos
sessions. There is considerable
opposition to delegation of such
authority.
It was revealed on Wednesday
that President Roosevelt is making
plans for universal compulsory
Government training for all boys
and girls as part of the defense
program. These plans should be
carefully scrutinized before they
are put into effect, especially in
view of the fact that Sidney Hill
man who has been associated with
the Socialistic movement which is
not far removed from Communism,
is to have charge of this plan.
Secretary of War Woodring an
nounced Saturday arrangements to
train annually 1000 Army pilots
and $500 bombardiers and navi-
gators.
DEPORTATION - In an unpre-
cedented move, the House on June
13, voted $50 to 422 for a bill or
dering the immediate deportation
of Harry R. Bridges, Pacific coast
maritime labor leader, whose pres
ence in the United States the Con-
gress deems ''hurtful'. The At
torney General is directed to take
Bridges into custody and deport
him forthwith to Australia, of
which country he is citizen.
APPROPRIATIONS - Legisla-
ton authorizing "a new warships,
to cost an estimated 81, 200 ,00O, 900,
was presented in the Senate and
House in an effort to build Amer
ican sea power to a strength suf-
ficient to meet attacks in both the
Atlantic and Pacific. This mea-
sure would enlarge the fleet by an
additional % per cent over and
above an IL per cent increase al
ready approved by Congress and
signed by President Roosevelt on
Monday. At the same time, the
House, unanimously and without
debate, passed legislation author
izing an increase in the Army en-
listed strength from 280,0OO to
100000 Funds to expand the
Army Immediately to 375,00O men
have already been voted by the
House.
On Tuesday a S4,000,O 100000 nav
al building program which, with
present projected warship con-
struction, would triple the existing
fleet was presented to Congress
and speedily approved by the
House Naval Affairs Committee.
