Hill expressed the view that
the use of conveys "would not
mean at all that we would send
an expeditionary force abroad"
He said there was now no place
to land an expeditionary force
in Europe and added: "Our prob
lem is to supply tn British
why send additional men over
there to be supplied"
At his press conference yester-
day, President Roosevelt said
that American naval patrols
would be operated anywhere in
the seven seas necessary for the
protection of the western hemis-
phere.
AID BRITISH
Naval experts expected this
action would enable the British
to release a number of warships
from convoy duty out Of west
ern hemisphere ports.
Mr.. Roosevelt indicated that
the functions of the neutrality
patrol have not been substantial
ly changed by its more extended
duties. He compared it with the
scout system which wagon trains
once used on western prairies to
warn of danger. Asked If the pa
troll would warn other wagon
trains, he replied that all kinds
of wagon trains would be
warned.
Such a scout system at sea
might discourage attacks on
shipping through destruction of
the raiders secrecy of move
ment. Asked what would happen
if an American naval vessel en-
countered hostile warcraft, the
President replied only that he
would be notified. He carefully
avoided connecting the patrol
extension with aid to Britain.
There thus was no official hint
as to what action a patrol ship
would take if it found a British
convoy being attacked by a Ger
man raider.
ELASTIC BASIS
Should the President care to
amplify the reason for placing
the neutrality patrol on an elias
tic basis, two speeches scheduled
in the next eight days might af-
ford him an opportunity. He will
speak here Wednesday, inaugu-
rating the drive for sale Of de-
tense bonds. On Sunday. May 4.

WASHINGTON. April 26-(R
The Fl American republics
were reported today at the point
of agreement on q unified good
neighbor" policy for utilization
OF more than 100 idle foreign
flag ships refugeeing in Ameri-
can ports.
A subcommittee of the inter-
American economic and financial
advisory committee already has
approved the draft of a plan
through which the long idle yes.
sells would be put to work carry
ing vitality needed cargo, it was
learned authoritatively. Final
agreement and signature of the
formal declaration were declared
likely at a meeting of the entire
committee here today.
The inter-American ship dis
cussions followed closely two
other important moves designed
tn relieve severe tonnage short
ages and insure the safety of
American ships on the high seas:
1. President Roosevelt re-
vealed that the navy's neutrality
patrol has been extended to any
place in the seven seas consid-
cred necessary to protect the
western hemisphere.
2. The House prepared to act
on legislation authorizing the
president to take over foreign
vessels in United States ports
and put them to any use. The bill
was approved by the House mer-
chant marine committee. yester-
day.
The 100000 gross tons of
British shipping lost since the
beginning of the war and dislo-
cation of Their shipping services
as q result of the conflict have
created a critical shortage in
ships serving South and Central
American countries.
Under the proposed plan, orig
inally formulated by Foreign
Minister GUAM of Uruguay, the
81 American republics would
uphold the right of each Ameri-
can nation to take over vessels of
belligerent countries lying idle in
its ports and operate them in
service vital to the nations
economy, particularly in the
maintenance of inter-American
trade.
After a pool" of ships sufti-
cient to meet the American ma
tion's shipping requirements has
been set aside for operation
largely in the western hemi-
sphere-it was said the plan
would permit surplus tonnage to
be sold or chartered to Great
Britain or other nations.
The United States has taken
SO idle vessels go Danish, %
Italian and two Germany into
protective custody" and is ex-
pected to turn at least some of
them over to Great Britain If
Congress authorizes the presi-
dent to take action.
In South and Central Ameri-
can ports, it was said, there are
