out the report that American
naval ships would be used for
convoy purposes or in some other
way to accomplish the delivery
of supplies to Britain, that the
convoy suggestions are Cow
Jumped Over-the-MoOn stuff
by the same laws Of logical
deduction, the conclusion Is in
escapable that Mr.. Roosevelt,
recognizing that conveying
means shooting and shooting
means war, Is now ready TO en-
bark upon a 'Cow-Jumped-Over-

America engage In a shooting
war.
This development further
clarifies his statement In dedi-
eating the Woodrow Wilson

tional shrine, that America Is
ready to 'fight for democracy
again
There was some doubt as to
what he meant by the word

Kelly Of Chicago and army ant

Other dominant points stressed
bv Lord Halifax in his speech ane
press conference were:
. Britain needs American war
materials, not American soldiers,
because the character of this
war IL predominantly industrial
and mechanical and scientific.
American war materials are
needed quickly, and delivery
must be assured. He refused
comment on proposals for con-
voys by United States naval ves-
sells, but pointed out the work OF
the British navy il spread thin. :
. Hitler "mIssed his chance" at
victory In the. British Isles last
June when he failed to move
straight ahead toward Britain
after the French collapse.
Hitler's control OF the con-
quered countries of Europe will
"crack" because of poverty and
hunger, and the crack Will

Roosevelt Seen
Sending Conveys
Without Orders
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
IntJ News service staff Correspondent

Init News service Sihit Correspondent
+ WASHINGTON. May 9.-Pres-
jdent Roosevelt will order conveys
without consulting Congress be-
cause of delay involved in legisla-
ton. some members of the House
foreign affairs committee predicted
today.
A canvass of members of the
committee. which first reported
the historic leaSe-lend bill, re-
vealed belief on the part of most
members that the President has
authority 10 order the navy 10
escort British merchant ships with
out seeking specific legislation.
Although Senator George ODD OF
Georgia, chairman of the Senate
foreign relations committee, has
voiced the opinion that Mr.. Roose-
welt would first consult Congress
on the question of conveys, many
administration members disagree
Members of the House foreign
affairs committee were asked:
Does the President have
L power to order conveys?
OFF he thinks they are neces-
- sary. will he ask permission
of Congress to order them?
Representative Bloom CD OF
New York. chairman of the com
mittee. said:
"As commander-in-chief of
the army and navy, the Presi-
dent can order conveys. Whether
he wants to be dOubly sure and
ask Congress for authority Is up
TO him. But Congress would
either have to grant broad power
OF regulate conveying. And IL
the President asked permission
he would have to give reasons
and disclose secret information.
Further, IL a bill were asked,
delay would result because
hearings would have to be held
and there would be debate. If
the President Is sure he has the
right, my thought is 1t Is up to
him."
CONGRESS COULD DO 1T
Representative Vorys (R) Of
Ohio:
II think the President will 60
ahead and order conveys. Con-
gress could stop conveys, but In
the absence of action the Presi-
dent can order them"
Rep. Luther johnson CD o,
Texas:
Undoubtedly he has the
power. If the President thought
conveys necessary, to seek legis-
lation might cause fatal delay. 1
don't think he should have TO
seek legislation If he felt II was
necessary TO do it."
Representative Stanley CD o
Connecticut:
1.-THE President has power to
convoy. think there is posi-
bility that he will come to Con-
gress and put the burden on us.
1 think he Is waiting for public
opinion to form. There is, in my
opinion, an unconscious referen-
dunn going on"
