had resulted in no concrete achieve
ments was considered only one fac
tor in the situation that caused
Prince Konoye to give up the reins
of governments.
In the midst of the cabinet
change, Kanama Wakasugi, ia
panese Minister here. held two
lengthy conferences with Secretary
of State Hull and Undersecretary
Welles, in the absence of AmbaSSa-
dor Nomura. These conferences
were believed to have cleared the
way for continuation with the new
government of efforts to reach
some sort of settlement that would
relieve the present tension in the
Pacific. Except to say there was
a general interchange of views. the
State Department had no official
comment on the conference.
1t is recognized that the difficult
ties in the way of any effective
understanding between the United
States and Japan are virtually in
surmountable unless the new Toxic
government reverSeS many OF its
proclaimed policies. but as long as
the conversations can be kept going
there remains some hope of an
agreement, possibly narrowly lin
tied in scope but still sufficient to
avert further extension of the war
Belligerent statements by non-
diplomatic officials in this country
and Japan, meanwhile, will not be
permitted to influence any future
official talks between the two coun-
tries, one source said
TwO-Fisted Policy Urged.
This informant was believed to
have had in mind the Japanese
naval ministry spokesman's state
ment that the Nipponese Navy was
itching for action" and demands
by some United States Senators that
this country adopt a two-fisted
policy toward Japan.

smooth most of the way. Some
parts are so dry that special pro-
vision would have to be made for
water, but that is a supply problem
that could be met without great
complication.
Reports here indicate that most

Large Expenditures Involved.
Admittedly, the distances are great
and large expenditures of labor and
money would be required to make
the Zahidan to AStrabad road ready
for sizable shipments to Russia.
But, sponsors of the plan contend,
the projected route is worth ell
investigation and development pos
sible.
The Arctic sealanes to Russia by
way of the North Atlantic are i'm
pasSable most of the winter months.
And the Pacific route to the eastern
terminus of the TranS-Siberian
Railway passes dangerously close to
Japan, and a hostile Japan could
impede seriously, if not block, this
transport line.
In the light of these possibilities.
and the limited prospects of in
creasing Trans-Iranian Railway
traffic perhaps the proponents OF
the overland truck route have made
a suggestion that will prove of great
importance as the European land
war shifts to the Near East.

remaining on the books will be the
ban against American ships deliv-
ering lease-lend aid to belligerent
ports. The general expectation is
that issue will be tackled separately

Glass Defies FiIibuster.
Senator Glass, who served in the
House and in President Wilson's
cabinet before his election to the
Senate, was not impressed by the
argument that facing the issue of
complete repeal would take longer
than the limited ship-armirg pro-
posal.
Those who are going to waste
time will waste it anyway, whether
the issue is important or trivial"
he said.
The Virginian does not believe re-
peal of the Neutrality Act would
lead to sending an expeditionary
force to Europe, but suggested a
naval and air war on Hitler would
be within the range of possibility.
Declaring that I'VE should make

of asNation of poltroons," Senator
Glass said I'VE might be able to

Wheeler Welcomes Issue.
Senator Wheeler welcomed the
suggestion of repeal amendments,
with the observation, Il think it
would be good thing, because it
would bring the issue into the
open"
If the Senate passes that" Sem
ator Wheeler added, referring to
repeal, I'VE ought to tack on a
rider asking for a declaration of
war"
Any proposal to 60 into the war.
he predicted, would be defeated.
The Montanan charged that the
men surrounding the President
want to go to war, but they have
not been willing to come out openly
and honestly and ask for it, but
have sought to take us in step by
step through the back door" This
course. he said. has been "deceitful
and dishonest"
Senator Wheeler said he had been
informed by reliable source" that
the British in the Middle East felt
they had adequate reason to believe
we would be in the war prior to
| September Is, and because we did
not come in it created considerable
confusion there
Folly" Says Pepper.
In announcing his intention to
advocate neutrality repeal, Senator
Pepper said 1T is folly, and shows
Congress to be lacking in courage,
1 if we don't 60 ahead and finish the
job of displacing this neutrality law "
except for the administrative provi-
sions dealing with the licensing Of
exports.
The Florida Democrat said the
foreign policy Congress has ap-
proved of aiding nations attacked by
the dictators makes repeal neces-
sary "and the only reason we don t
do it now is because of politics" To
put it off, he said, would be "un-
worthily lodging the issue"
Chairman Connally of the Foreign
Relations Committee has expressed
himself for freedom of the seas for
American merchant ships, but at the
Evening star., 1941-10-19
BY j. A. O'LEARY.

A movement to repeal the Neu-
trality Act completely, instead of
merely arming merchant ships, be-
gan to develop in the Senate yes
terday, with Virginia's veteran
Democrat, Senator Glass, calling
the law craven piece of poltroon-
cry"
Earlier in the day Senator Pepper,
Democrat, of Florida, had an
nounced that if administration
leaders do not offer a repeal amend
ment, he will do so.
Despite these developments, how
ever, there was no evidence last
night that the administration wants
the House-approved ship arming
bill involved in a bitter fight with
the isolationistS over outright re-
peal.
Senator Hill of Alabama, Demo-
cratic whip, said he has no informa-
ton to indicate the administration
wants the Senate to broaden the
House merchant ship measure.
Lease-Lend Debate.
While the neutrality issue is being
| discussed in committee this week,
the Senate probably will stage
preliminary debate on the war
situation when the new S5, ,965 900 900
lease-lend appropriation bill comes
out Of the Appropriations Com
mittee Tuesday or Wednesday.
Senator Glass was emphatic in
declaring his own opinion that the
Neutrality Act should be discarded.
| but on the question of whether he
would raise the issue in the Foreign
Relations Committee, he said he
would not want to do anything of
a useless nature. He indicated he
would wait to see how the situa-
ton develops.
II he had his way, the 83-year-
old Virginian said he would repeal
/ the act and then shoot hell out

Wheeler Serves Notice.
AS the Senate committee pre-
pared TO meet tomorrow morning
to plan the length of hearings and
| procedure on the House bill, Sem
ator Wheeler, Democrat, of Mon
tana, leading isolationist, prompt
ly served notice any effort to broad
en- the measure TO outright repeal
would "prolong the debate"
1t was fairly clear last night that
if the bill is confined to arming
merchant ships it may go to the
President for signature within two
weeks. whereas any broader pro-
position would cause opponents of
the administration foreign policy
| to fight on.
After merchant ships have been
armed, the chief feature of the law

same time has indicated the ques-
ton of removing restrictions should
wait until after the House bill to
arm merchant vessels has been dis
posed of.
AS matter of fact. the makeup
of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee is such that it might
prove difficult to attach a repea.
amendment to the pending bill at
this time. In addition TO the Re-
publican isolationists, there are sov-
eral Democrats on the committee
whose position would be doubtful,
to say the least, on broadening the
present foreign policy.
