New Garand Rifle
Called Best Of Kind
After Abuse Tests
Weapon Fired Four Days
Without CIeonine, but
Retoins Accuracy
BY the Associ q ted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Army's new Garand semi-au-
tomato rife has just come through
q series Of tests by abuse which ON
cials said today confirmed their
Judgment that 1t was the finest
weapon of It's kind in the world.
Ten of the rifles, with which
troops are being equipped at the
rate of 1000 a month, were fired
for four days each without cleaning
or oiling. They were sprayed with
water and thrown around in the
sand and dirt and then fired. Cor
roded and mud-encrusted ammuni-
ton was substituted for clean shells.
In none of the tests was the rifle
put out of action. nor did 1t appear
to have lost its accuracy an official
Infantry Board reported to the
War Department. Altogether 40,000
rounds of ammunition were fired
in the experiments, which were car
ried out at Fort Benning, Ga.
The results were disclosed follow
ing a War Department statement
to the American Rifle Association
that for certain long-range target
shooting the older Springfield rife,
which is being discarded, might be
superior to its successor.
Maj. Gen. Charles M. Wesson,
chief of Ordnance. explained that
the faster firing Garand was pri-
marily combat weapon, though up
to 900 yards it would compare fav-
orably with the Springfield in &C
curacy.
In the Fort Benning tests, officials
said, it was found that in relatively
heavy, continuous firing, such as in
actual engagement, the average ac-
curacy of the Garand was consider

Peace Moves
Continued From First Page.)

long-range peace program are the
halting and reduction of arma-
ments and establishment of liberal
commercial policies as the only way
to prevent economic totalitarianism
the Secretary emphasized.
This Government hopes, he added
that every country in the world may
accept these principles so that when
the peace conference comes, there
might be full understanding and
support of the program.
In connection with the current
peace talks with neutrals, there are
no plans now for discussing any
thing that does not relate solely to
the postwar period and the two
questions of reducing ornaments
and liberalizing trade policies then,
the Secretary said.
q Would Talk With Anybody.
The Government will discuss these
Ideas with anybody or bring them
to the attention of any government
that is disposed to take any interest
In them, he said in response to
questions about what nations are
included in the conversations now
going on.
He declined to specify the govern
ments that have been approached
so far. Making clear that the con-
versations will not necessarily be
confined to Washington he said any
feasible plan to promote education,
understanding and support of the
long-range peace program would be
utilized.
There has been no consideration
50 far, he added, of a general con-
ference of neutral nations.
Before giving his views, Mr.. Hull
had conferred with William c. Bull
lit, Ambassador to France, for 80
minutes and it was understood the
general European situation had been
discussed. Mr.. Hull said he ex-
pected to see Ambassador Bullitt,
who had just arrived by Clipper from
Paris, again before he returned to
France. At the White House, it
was said President Roosevelt ex-
pected to confer with Mr.. Bullitt
either tonight or tomorrow.
The French note, which was dis
tributed to the press in Paris today,
said positive guarantee (of peace)
were preliminary conditions to any
negotiations"
Peril Of Germany Cited.
Economic or other plans which
might be envisaged during the ex-
changes of views that the State De-
partment is conducting with neutral
countries, it said, can only be cofh-
pleted definitely if the recurrent
threats to peace, of which English
Laborites spoke in a recent mani
festo, are eliminated definitely from
world perspectives.
1T is evident from the French
point of view that the constant
peril of a Germany which periodi-
cally unleashes warlike crises in
Europe for purely political and i'm
periaIstic reasons must be radically
wiped out before the world to come
takes shape by agreement.
The note emphasized that Mr..
Welles' mission and the State De-
partment talks were essentially
different"

Senate See
Passage Of Finnish
Credit Bill tuesday
Definite Agreement Made
To Vote at 5 PM. on
Export Bank Funds
BY j. A. OLEARY.

With a definite agreement to vote
by 5 pm. Tuesday Senate leaders
are confident of passing the bill to
pave the way for $4,000 900 OF ad-
ditional credit to Finland to aid 1t
in its present emergency created by
Russian invasion.
AS the weekend recess began
only three amendments appeared
likely to be offered to the measure,
which adds $l00,0000O0 to the lend
ing ability Of the Export Import
Bank. The bank would pass on ap-
plications for loans designed to pro-
mote the export of surplus Ameri-
can products of military ma
ture. The amendments are:
By Senator Danaher, Republican,
Of Connecticut, to prohibit loans to
foreign countries.
BY Senator Brown, Democrat, of
Michigan, to authorize the Recon-
struction Finance Corp. to relend to
Finland the nearly $6,000,000 it has
repaid on its old debt to the United
States in addition to any credit it
obtains from the Export Import
Bank.
Taft Would Cut Total.
BY Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio, to reduce the total new au-
thorization of the bank to $50 900, ,000
Leaders had hoped to pass the
bill and send it to the House yester-
day evening, but debate precluded
consideration of the pending amend
ments. Senate Majority Leader
Barkley proposed the recess until
Tuesday because a number of Re-
publican Senators had engagements
to deliver Lincoln Day addresses in
the States Monday. He first OBJ
tained unanimous consent, however,
fixing the time to vote and limiting
speeches to 20 minutes after 8
o'clock Tuesday.
Ending five hours of discussion
yesterday. Senator McKellar, Demo-
crat, of Tennessee came out in favor
of the bill, declaring he would have
preferred to vote for direct loan
OF money to Finland for use in its
struggle against Russia. If the
pending bill, which must be limited
to credit for the export of nom
military supplies, is the best that
can be obtained, he will vote for it,
the Tennessean said He accused
Russia of "brutally killing Finnish
men, women and children wherever
she finds them"
Senator Danaher argued for his
restriction against loans to foreign
countries, contending past credits
by the lending agency have been
made through trading corporations
formed in this country, in the case
OF both Finland and China.
Sees Government Backing.
Senator Brown replied that, while
that was true, the loans have been
made through such associations only
because they were backed by the
governments of Finland and China.
Senator Danaher also contended
Russia is being helped by supplies
obtained in this country and urged
that the Neutrality Act be invoked
to stop such exports
Earlier in the day, Senator Tyd-
ings. Democrat, of Maryland made
an impassioned plea for the bill,
declaring:

ship to this little nation (Finland
