Nv the Associated Press.

BY the ASSoClAteC FIeSS-
Chairman Bloom of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee. said last
night that the House was happy
indeed that the Argentine House had
accepted the invitation of the United
States House of Representatives to
send a delegation to Washington"
I'VE will cooperate fully and it Is
my hope that we will send a reci-
procity delegation to Buenos Aires,
Representative Bloom added.
Belief was expressed in congress
sional circles that such an exchange
might mean the beginning of an
inter American inter-parliamentary
union, similar to that which op-
Grated in Europe during peacetime.
At the European inter-parliamentary
union meeting mutual continental
problems have been the principal
agenda.
Arrival of the Argentine delega-
ton will give United States Con-
gressmen and representatives Of the
South American republic an oppor-
tunity to confer on matters OF in
terest to the two nations and also
inquire into hemisphere problems,
Mr.. Bloom said. 1T is splendid
start toward friendly cooperation
between the elected representatives

Roosevelt Tiehtens
Export Control Of
All War Supplies
President Acts to
Holt Leokuses From
Philippine Islands
BY JOHN c. HENRY.

President Roosevelt late today
took two steps designed to tighten
American control of commerce in
military articles and to expedite
maritime transportation facilities In
the interest of national defense.
The first objective was accom-
plished through proclamation
making subject to export control
all military equipment. munitions,
machinery or allied articles which
are not already subject to such con-
troll.
Revealing that the basic purpose
in this blanket application OF con-
troll is to check leakages through
the Philippine Islands, the White
House announced that general Ii
censes will be issued covering ex-
portation of the articles mentioned
from the United States, but not
from the Philippine Islands. Such
licenses will not be issued, however,
for consigness whose names appear
on the Western Hemisphere black
list.
The practical effect of the proc
lamation,," the White House said,
will be to limit the expectation
from the Philippine Islands of the
materials to which reference is made
but to permit them to flow freely
from the United States"
In an executive order the Presi-
dent authorized the Maritime Com
mission to issue warrants according
preference in shore facilities to ves-
sells engaged in transport services
essential to the national defense.
The warrant plan was established
in legislation signed by the Presi-
dent on July IA. Ships carrying the
warrants will henceforth have
priority on use of shore facilities
fuel. drydock space. loading and
unloading arrangements.
The warrants may be issued by the
commission not only to vessels
owned or documented within the
United States but also to foreign
flag vessels.

Predicted German Victory.


For weeks Laval has said that
the war will be finished this year
with German victory"
Moreover. his friends in Paris have
considered seriously the possibility
of his return to power in the Vichy
government as the only way France
could negotiate a positive arrange
ment with Germany for collabora-
ton.
Actually without official status
since his custer as Vice Premier
December Is, Laval has continued
political contacts with many Right
lists who visited his dingy Office on
the fourth floor of a Champs Elysees
building in Paris.
Laval has been in French politics
since 1914, when he became a So
cialist deputy. In Parliament he
specialized in foreign affairs. He
was Foreign Minister in several Bri-
and cabinets, and was Prime Min
lister in 1872 and again in 1856.
Outspoken Appeaser.
He was the most outspoken men,
ber of the faction attempting to
appease Germany and Italy before
the war. And it was he who ar
ranged the post-armistice meeting
between Hitler and Petain at which
collaboration between France and
Germany was decided on.
Since his custer from the Vichy
regime he has been a little less
active, his ragged moustache a little
grayer But he has held to his long
established custom Of wearing white
shirts and white string ties. He
chain smoked black French ciga-
rettes.
Police bodyguards have usually
trailed behind him. Always he has
seemed to be waiting for another
opportunity to set In motion what
he called my plan for France 5
future"
Deaf Former Socialist.
A stocky. black-moustached paci-
fist, Deaf was the organizer of the
French Uniform party formed last
year to support Laval. He is Al.
Before the war Deat's one an
nounced and permanent policy was
ito keep France out of all wars" He
was made Air Minister by Albert
Sarraut, January "a. l936-at a time
when France was beginning to dis
cuss rearmament. but he was de-
feated in the elections May 3 of the
same year.
Deaf rose to prominence as a left
wing soapbox orator after resigntng
from the University Of Rheims. where
he taught philosophy. He became q
Socialist deputy in 1926 but because
of differences with Leon Blum went
over to the United Socialist party In
1895.
Shortly after the European wa,
broke out he was accused of foment-
ing "peace-at-any-price" agitation
Formal charges that he had circu-
lated q peace letter among members
of the Chamber of Deputies were
dropped, however.
