Administration leaders sought
today to work out one or more
compromise changes in the Brit
ish aid bill to reduce the opposi-
ton of Senators who want
restrictions against the move
ment of American naval vessels
or armed forces into war zones.
When Democratic members of
the Foreign Relations Committee
emerged from a two-hour meeting at
noon, Chairman George said they
were trying to work out some rea-
sonable provision that would allay
the fears expressed by opposition
Senators regarding the use OF land
or naval forces. He emphasized,
however, that they were consider
ing only such changes as would not
affect the basic purposes of the
bill
While no compromise has yet been
agreed on, Senator George said one
or two proposals will be reduced to
writing and given further study
this afternoon, after which, Il may
or may not offer an amendment. ."
Senator George said his personal
view is that since the bill does not
deal with use of the armed forces,
except as inspectors in the manu-
facture of munitions, the opposition
amendments are not necessary. He
indicated, however, that If reason
ably worded provisos can be agreed
upon that would meet the opposi-
ton fears, it might increase sup
port for the bill and promote ma
tional unity.
Meanwhile, Senator Aiken, Re-
publican, of Vermont resumed the
debate, advocating direct financial
aid in lieu of the lease-lend pro-
gram.
Admitting the prolonged debate
may be discouraging Great Britain,
and especially Canada, Senator
Aiken said he wanted to reassure
''our EngIsh-speaking friends that
we are definitely intent on aiding
them"
This could be done without delay,
he said, by a s2,000,000,0 1000 money
credit. He said he would give it
primarily to Canada, rather than
any other unit of the British EN-
pire."
Vote on ElIerf1er Plan Due Today.
With the first major test vote
likely this afternoon on the FL
lender amendment to put Congress
on record against sending men over
seas, it was reliably reported that
those in charge of the lease-lend
bill also had a proposed substitute
for that amendment under consider
alton.
This substitute is understood to
state merely that nothing in this
bill would alter existing statutes
governing the movement of troops.
Informed sources said such sub
stitute would be satisfactory to Sec
retary of State Hull, but shortly be-
fore noon it was not known whether
Senator Ellender, Democrat, Of
Louisiana, would accept this alter
native.
The Ellender amendment says
nothing in the bill shall be deemed
to confer any additional powers to
authorize the employment or use Of
persons in the land or naval forces
of the United States at any place
beyond the limits of the Western
Hemisphere, except in the territories
and possessions of the United
States, including the Philippine
Islands"
Senator George said he person.

Italian Activity
Curbed by U. s;
Consu|ates Shut
Closing Of z Offices
Ordered for Reasons
Of National Policy
BY GARNETT d. HoRNER.

The United States today placed
restrictions on the movements of
Italian officials in this country and
requested Italy to close its consulates
at Detroit and Newark "for reasons
of national policy" the State De-
partment announced.
All Italian consular and other Off
c1als except the personnel of the En-
bassy in Washington were notified
to "confine their movements" to
the areas in which they have Off
clal duties and the State Depart
ment asked to be kept informed of
any movements outside Washington
by italian military and naval
attaches.
This unusual action was inter-
preted as retaliatory to Italian or
ders restricting the movements of
the American Embassy's staff in
Italy outside of Rome and closing
American consulates at Naples and
Palermo.
Note Sent to Ambassado
The request to Italy to close its
consulates at Detroit and Newark
was announced by the State Depart
ment IN midmorning and the re-
strictions on movements of Italian
officials in general were disclosed
later by Secretary of State Hull at
his press conference, when he made
public the text OF a note sent last
night to Prince Colonna, Italian
Ambassador here.
The consulates affected are in two
Of the Nations foremost defense
centers. New Jersey, of which New
ark is the industrial hub, holds the
greatest dollar value of defense con-
tracts in the Nation.
The text of the note to Prince Co.
lonna follows:
THE Secretary of State presents
his compliments to his excellency,
the Royal Italian Ambassador, and
has the honor to refer to his oral
communication of February II, 1941,
with respect to the Italian govern
ment's request that the consulates
now established at Palermo and
Naples should be moved to a place
as far north as Rome, or farther
north, and to place which was not
on the seacoast.
Instructions Issued.
instructions to these officers of
the American Government have
been issued in accordance with this
request and the supervisory con-
Sulate general of the United States
in Italy formerly at Naples) is be-
ing established in Rome.
THE Secretary of State avails
himself of this opportunity to make
request of the Italian Ambassador
that all officials ofshis government
within the territory of the United
States will conflne their movements
to those areas in which they exer-
else the recognized duties of their
respective offices. This request does
not include the personnel of the
italian Embassy in Washington
whose names appear on the diplo-
matte list.
1T would be appreciated, how
ever, if the italian Ambassador
would keep the Department of State
concurrently informed of movements
outside of Washington of the mill
tary and naval personnel attached
to the italian Embassy.

offices at Newark, NJ j., and De-
