3 Presentation of the story drama
"The Prince of Peace" with its plea
for peace, tolerance and under
standing among nations, will be a

The play, story written by Min
ME Frost Rands about the boyhood

Presented at the Temple of Re-
ligion at the New York Worlds Fair

gained recognition for its allegorical
treatment of the early life of Jesus.
Although not represented on the
stage, Jesus and Herod are SYM
bolized as love and hate, altruism
and selfishness, contending in the
world of yesterday and today for
the mastery of the world tomorrow.
The scenes revolve around the peri
Cd from 50 BIC. to 10 A.D., show
ing how the independent Hasmon-
can dynasty of Jewish kings was
ousted by the usurper. Herod, whose
father had betrayed Palestine to
the Romans.
I'm spite of the dark clouds that
are lowering over the world today"
Mrs. Rands explained, "the play
ends on the keynote of hope for the
future, when the precepts Of the
Man of Galilee, through your ef-
forts and mine, have been writteen
into our lives and our laws"
The Prince of Peace Players, a
non-prof1t group that has presented
the play IA time since it was writ
ten two years ago, will be assisted
by the Mount Vernon Players. The

Soviet-British Trade
Discussions Disturbed
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. April 30-Sources close
to the Foreign Office asserted today
that the Soviet Russian reply to re-
cent British offers to negotiate a
trade agreement were mot consid-
cred satisfactory, because Russia
regards exports of goods to Ger
many as her own affair"
The Soviet Ambassador to Lon
don, Ivan Maisky. was reported to
have told Foreign Secretary Lord
Halifax last night that Russia was
willing to discuss a trade agreement
on certain conditions
The question of exports to Ger
many also was reported to be con-
fronting Britain in efforts to reach
trade bargain with Italy.
Maisky was said to have told Lord
Halifax his country would be willing
to consider trade agreement which
would bar re-export of British goods
to Germany.
However, Maisky was said to have
presented his governments insist
ence on unrestricted exports to Ger
many of purely Russian goods
whether or not the British consider
them contraband.
Maisky was reported to have told
Lord Halifax that Russia's view is
that export of her own goods is en-
tirely her own business. Diplomatic
quarters said Maisky's views would
be considered by the Foreign Office
and a reply sent to Moscow.

u. 5. Probing Charge
Germans Misused
American Flag
Seeks Full Dutu on
Statement by Head Of
Norwegian Parliament

BY the Associated Press.
Undersecretary of State Welles
and his associates pressed an inves-
tigation today into the first official
charge of misuse of the American
flag in the European war.
They were striving to assemble
full information on the statement
Sunday of C. J. Hambro, president
of the Norwegian Parliament, that
a Norwegian pilot had sworn the
German supply ship, Jan Wellem,
which he piloted into Narvik, Nor
way, flew an American flag and had
American flags painted on her sides
to disguise her true nationality.
Mr.. Welles, Acting Secretary in
the absence of Secretary of State
Hull, said at a press conference that
he had requested an immediate re-
port on the alleged incident from
American representatives in Scandi-
navia, but had not yet received a re-
ply.
A Neutrality Act provision would
become operative if the assertion
of the Norwegian leader should be
proved true, but officials were still
at loss as to how it could be ap-
piled. The act makes it unlawful
for any vessel belonging to or op-
Grating under the jurisdiction of
any foreign state to use the flag of
the United States thereon, or to
make use of any distinctive signs
or markings, indicating that the
same is an American vessel"
That is explicit enough for officials.
But the punishment provided by
the Neutrality Act is not easy. 1t
says, ANY vessel violating the pro-
visions of this section shall be de-
MED for period of three months
the right to enter the ports or ter
ritorial waters of the United States
except in cases of force majeure
emergency.
But under this provision the Jan
Wellem, or any other belligerent
ship. presumably might fly the
American flag indefinitely if it kept
out of American waters.
The only recourse would be a
diplomatic protest against the mis-
use of the American flag, if misuse
is proved.
