ment of the Columbia Broadcasting
System that it would ask the courts
Ito enjoin the commission from en-

Secretary Of the Navy Knox. ad-
vocating swift repeal of the Neutral
ity Acts prohibition against arming
American merchantmen. told Con-
gresS this afternoon the resultant
risk would be far less than the risk
of allowing England to lose the
war"
The Secretary was the third cab
met member to urge repeal of this
provision before the House Foreign
Affairs Committee during the day.
He followed Secretary of State Hull
and Secretary of War Stimson, who
also advocated permitting merchant
ships to enter combat zones in the
interest of expediting delivery of
lease-lend goods.
Secretary Knox declared that
Americans now realize that we
must give every aid to those who
are fighting Hitler even if it involves
the risk of war itself"
IF you vote to repeal this act
the Navy Secretary told the COM
mittee. you are not voting to attack
Germany. You are not voting to
send an army. or air force, or the
Navy to attack Germany.
Speedy Delivery of Goods.
You are voting for absolutely
nothing but to see that there is
speedy delivery of the supplies to
the nation you have said ought to
have the supplies with which to
carry on the war, and you are acting
to send our ships out upon the ocean
which We have always regarded shall
be free to our ships, as measure
of our security
Secretary Knox said he felt it was
tremendously humiliating" for the
powerful United States to resort to
the device of sending its ships to
sea under the flag of little Panama.

possesses no power whatever to en-
force respect for its colors.'

Why not take from the statute

a palpable subterfuge?"
Weapons to Resist Attack.
At another point, he said lit
seems to me un-American and dis
creditable for us to ask American
sailors to sail out upon the ocean,
infested with merciless pirates, be-
reft of any weapon whatever to
resist attack"
War Secretary StimSon recon-
mended immediate repeal of the ban
on arming merchant ships.
Il believe that the repeal of this
humlliating provision of law would
not only conduce to regaining our
self-respect upon the ocean," Secre-
tary Stimson said, but that it would
materially promote the safety of the
vessels which we are now sending
out and the safe landing of the
munitions which Congress has de-
cided to make available to the ma
