Speech Today to Stir
Discussion in Congress

r. the Associated Press.
Senator Clark, Democrat, of Mis-
siouri promised to take the Senate
floor today to protest against any
proposal for transferring some of the
Army's prize long distance bombers
to England.

about the destroyer deal now con-

cussion can at least delay It,"

reporters that If the giant bombers
are transferred, the next thing
would be battleships and then men.
It's all part of the scheme to get
us into this war"
Neutral military authorities
are generally agreed that Britains
aerial counterthrusts against
Germany would hold a greater
threat If the R. A. F. possessed
long-range bombers similar to
the Bit type the United States
Army has used for lengthy nom
stop flights to South America.
Planes of this type would enable
British raiders to strike at i'm

now can be bombed only with

Lodge Protests Transfer.
Senator Lodge. Republican, Of
Massachusetts, called attention to
the Senate yesterday to published
reports that England might get 80
Of the 46 long-range bombers now
In Army service and protested that
such a move would prevent training
Of highly skilled men needed to man

Recalling that Congress was not
consulted in the agreement that
gave England so destroyers for naval
base leases, Senator Lodge urged
that any future transactions be sub
mitted to Congress first.

Senator Lodge told the Senate.
Senator White, Republican, Of
Maine also said to reporters that
this country should "go pretty slow"
In transferring defense equipment
because things look pretty bad
right now in the East"
Senator Clark, Democrat, of Idaho
said that no one would class the new
giant bombers as "obsolete" and that
the transfer of "four-ffths of them
would jeopardize our own defenses."

What ought to be done inmedi-

would join with the assistance Of
China in developing Far Eastern re-

is not important if economic pene-
tration permits partnership OF
America, Japan and China in build

Such a commission should not be
appointed unless Japan agrees to
maintain the military and naval
status quo and the United States
agrees on her part to permit raw

shipped in the interim. America
might we'll ask China and Japan to

been a parallel case of national
politics on the eve of election play
ing so conspicuously second fiddle
to developments beyond our shores.
There is, of course, reason. Few
serious-minded citizens, except either
incorrigible isolationists or wishful
thinkers, any longer doubt that con-
ditions overseas are taking a course
which could almost overnight bring
US to the brink of peril, such as the
sudden collapse of Britain. Home
politics therefore seems of minor
consequence. Both party manage
ments are experiencing correspond
ing difficulty in stirring the Nation
into campaign excitement. as would
ordinarily be the case, with the day
of decision just around the corner.
Nothing but the wars sudden end

capable of altering the situation.
