Proper Vjsas, Mexico Says
By the Associated Press.


MEXICO CITY. Sept. ia
spokesman for the Foreign Ministry
said tonight that refugees on the
steamer Quanza had not been al
lowed to land recently at Veracruz
because they only had transit
viSas" for Mexico and were unable
to prove that they had "visas of
entrance for countries of final des-
tination.
He said that they had persuaded
the Mexican minister at Lisbon to
grant them transit visas by con-
vincing him other American re-
pubics, without direct transporta-
tion facilities from Portugal, such
as Guatemala, were prepared to
give them asylum.
AS they were unable to present
such documents at Veracruz the
Mexican government was compelled
to refuse them entrance because
they had no place to go from Mex
leo.
With a transit visa a person is
merely authorized to remain in a
country until transportation can
be arranged to the country which
has extended him the privilege of
immigration.
Expressing sympathy for. the
plight of the refugees. the Foreign

Conscription
War end Justice
Will Review Act
Before Signature
BY JOHN c. HENRY.

Fully conscious Of the grave sig.\
niflcance Of enactment OF this Ma
tion's first peacetime conscription
law, President Roosevelt will ask
the War and Justice Departments
to make a quick check of the legis-
lation as approved by Congress yes
terday before affixing his signature
to it.
Announcement of this extra pre-
caution was made yesterday by
Stephen T. Early, secretary TO the
President, but it was understood
that haste will be emphasized in
order that Mr.. Roosevelt may sign
the measure tomorrow or Tuesday.
Orders and proclamations neces-
sary to implement the law are ex-
pected TO be issued Immediately
following signing
Shortly before leaving yesterday
on an overnight river cruise on the
White House yacht Potomac. the
President asked congressional lead
ers to speed approval of a S1.733,-
SS6,976 deficiency appropriation
bill-of which s24.825.l0s would be
made available for operating the
draft machinery,
While the signing Of the draft
bill is historically the most momen-
tous task facing the Chief Executive
in the coming week. a variety Of
other important appointments al
ready have place on his schedule.
On Tuesday, he will attend cere-
monies opening the new Washing
ton Airport. He is to speak briefly
and extemporaneously.
On Friday, he will make a formal
address at Philadelphia upon receipt
OF an honorary degree from
the University Of Pennsylvania.
Although there has been no definite
declaration yet as to whether this
speech will be political or not, 1t is
generally expected that it will be a
major pronouncement of signifi-
canoe in the campaign just now
moving into full speed. In this con-
nection it may be noted that one Of
the Presidents guests aboard the
Potomac this week end is Judge
Samuel Rosenman of New York. a
favorite advisor during the drafting
of Roosevelt speeches
Unless developments abroad or
on Capitol Hill prevent. the Chief
Executive probably will spend at
least day near the end OF the week
inspecting defense facilities in the
Philadelphia area. A Navy yard. an
Army arsenal, and several private
shipbuilding plants were listed for
presidential attention in that sector.
A week end AT the Roosevelt fam
ily home in Hyde Park may climax
this schedule.

Anti-New Dealer Speaks.
An anti-New Deal Democratic
Senator admitted privately yes
terday that many Democrats would
be glad enough to see Mr.. Willkie
win. and he added there were Demo-
cratic members of Congress who
felt that way. He said there were
three issues in the campaign which
would have much to do with the
outcome. The first of these, he
said. was deep-seated opposition to
President Roosevelt and the New
Deal administration. That, he in
sisted. already exists. Mr.. Willkle
would be unable to do little about
adding to it. The other issues, he
said were the third term, and de-
termination to keep this country
out of the European war In his
opinion. Mr.. Willkie is in position
to dramatize for the American peo-
pie the third-term issue, and by
adherring strictly to demands for
adequate national preparedness and
continuing to insist he would never.
as President, lead this country into
a foreign war, to create support for
himself
Mr. Willkie, now that he is &C
tually campaigning, has an oppor-
tunity to~sell himseA-to millions
of voters, as he did to scores OF
delegates to the Republican Nation
al Convention. The election will
be determined not alone on issues,
but on the question of personalities.
Republicans everywhere are seek
ing to make the voters believe that
President Roosevelt and his New
Dealers are the war party; that if
he is reelected. it will be only
matter of time before he leads the
country into war. The President
himslf apparently took cognizance
of this campaign when he delivered
his speech to the Teamsters Union

cally he would not take the coun-
try into the war
