Although concentrating on getting
action on the Tobey anti-convoy
resolution. Senate foes of the ad-
ministration's foreign policy have
not lost sight of another measure
which several of them introduced
jointly.
1t Is a resolution requiring ap-
proval in a national referendum
before any American air, naval or
land forces could be sent outside
the Western Hemisphere and Ameri-
can possessions. Like the anti
convoy resolution introduced by
Senator Tobey, Republican, of New
Hampshire. it is languishing in the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Interested Senators said yester-
day they planned an active cam
paign to get it before the Senate
as soon as the convoy legislation
has been disposed of. They re-
ported, too, the receipt of much
mail urging the adoption of the
referendum measure.
Would Prohibit Conveys.
AS the convoy resolution is now
worded, it would prohibit the use of
American naval units as escorts
for ships carrying war supplies.
Some of its hackers, conceding there
was little chance for its adoption
In that form, devised an alternative
under which conveys could be or
dered only with the approval Of
Congress.
Senator Nye, Republican, of North
Dakota, said he would introduce it
and push it in the Foreign Relations
Committee as a compromise for the
Tobey measure.
IF the administration is sincere in
not wishing to endanger American
lives by using conveys" he said,
'there certainly should be no OBJ
lection to permitting Congress to act
before conveys are ordered"
Norris Deplores Discussion.
Meanwhile, Senator Norris, indie
pendent, of Nebraska, deplored the
current sharp discussion of the con-
voy question. saying 1t would only
"give Joy and pleasure to Hitler"
1T is unfortunate to bring up such
questions now, when everyone wants
to try to be united and go along to-
sether," he added. why talk about
a step which, as far as know, no.

Opening Of Red Sea
To u. 5. Ships Called
Timely for Egypt
Commerce Department
Paper Says Supplies
Were Quite Low
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Reopening of the Red Sea to
American ships was described by
the Commerce Department yester-
day as a timely development, as
supplies Of imported products in
Egypt are reported to have become
quite low"
Discussing the situation in an
article prepared for It's weekly pub
lication, the department said Presi-
dent Roosevelts lifting of the ban
against American shipping there
again brings within the range of
United States vessels the largest
market for American products in
the Near East"
Much of Egypt's source of supply
has been cut off by the war in
Europe and 1t has endeavored to
maintain as much trade as possible
with other sources, including the
United States and the Far East,
but has encountered difficulty be-
cause of a shortage of shipping.
Egypt imported s13,283, 600 worth
of goods from the United States
last year, compared with s6,830 900
in 1889. while United States imports
from Egypt last year amounted to
1924 900, an increase of S26l 900.
Figures on Egypt's total foreign
trade have been suspended since
last July, but during the six years
ending in 1899, its imports had
averaged $4,000, 900 annually, while
exports averaged $l65 100000.
Principal imports from the United
States have been machinery and
iron and steel products, petroleum
products, synthetic fertilizers and
rubber tires. This country's major
purchases from Egypt have been
raw cotton, cottonseed oil, wool
gum arabic and hides and skins.
