On Transfer
Of Destroyers

Washington, Sept. 4.-(AP)- In
ruling that President Roosevelt could
legally transfer SO leverage" de-
stroyers to Great Britain, Attorney
General Jackson drew a distinction
between these vessels and torpedo
boats under construction for the
navy, which he previously held could
not be sold to the British.
In both opinions he cited a neu-
trality law enacted in 1917 as a de-
termining factor.
The question, he said, hinged on
whether the vessels were built, arm
ed or equipped" with the intention
of delivering them to belligerent.
In the case of the destroyers, he adj
ded, this was 'clearly' not true.
On the other hand, he said, it
would be legally impossible" for
the British government to take the
torpedo or ''mosquito' boats out OF
this country after their completion
since to the extent of such compile
ton at least they would have been
built, armed or equipped with such
intent.
Jackson's ruling on the torpedo
boats, made June 81, was mentioned
by the President when the latter call
ed off the sale Of 20 such vessels to
the British.
In the opinion made public yester-
day, the attorney general advised the
President that the agreement with
Britannia transfer the destroyers in
return for naval and air bases in Bril-
fish possessions Of the western hemis-
phere-could be concluded by him
without ratification by the senate.
There was "presidential power,
he added, ito transfer title and pos
session of the proposed consideration
upon certification by appropriate
staff officers"
On the question of whether the
President could complete the pro-
posed exchange without senate rat
ification or additional legislation,
jackson said it was hardly open to
controversy" that the Presidents
powers as commander-in-chief OF
the armed forces placed upon him
responsibility to use all constitution
al authority ito provide adequate de-
tense bases. Acquisition Of the bases
he argued, was without expressed
or implied promises by the United
States to be performed in the future.
1T is not necessary" he continuec''
''for the senate to ratlfy an oppor-
tunity that entails no obligaton'
