Halifax Agrees With Hull
On Russia S Apprehension

Viscount Halifax, British Ambas-
sador, said today he agreed with a
statement yesterday by Secretary of
State Hull which indicated belief
that Russia is becoming aware of the
danger of Nazi aims to the Soviets.
The Ambassador said he believed
Mr.. Hull phrased his comment very
we'll in saying that RuSsia's signing
of a new friendship pact with Yugo-
slavia made clear that an increasing
number of nations are becoming
acutely aware of the world nature
of Germany's movement of conquest
seeking domination of peoples every
where.
Lord Halifax's Endorsement of the
Secretary's statement was made in
talking with reporters as he and
Richard G. Casey, Australian Min
lister, and Noel Hall. representative OF
the British Ministry of Economic
Warfare, arrived at the State De-
partment for a conference with Mr..
Hull this afternoon.
The Ambassador said the chief
purposes of his visit were to seek
information concerning the Balkan
situation and to present Mr.. Hall.

German Commentator
Warns Swiss 10 Note
Fate Of YugosIavia
Sabotage Of Foreign
Policy at Belgrade
Cited by MegerIe
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, April g. Switzerland
was warned today by Karl Megerle,
German commentator who some
times voices the opinions of the
Foreign Office, to take note of what
has happened to Yugoslavia.
The prominent journalist, writing
in the Boersen zeitung, called at
tention of the Swiss to results of
inner unrest in Yugoslavia which,
he said, "sabotaged foreign policy
of common sense"
The article was entitled. "Once
again nothing is learned"
Megerle directed attention to a
recent article in the Swiss paper
Thurgauer Zeitung which, he said,
praised the honor and bravery of
the Yugoslavs.
Megerle said the newspaper called
on Swiss leaders to note the fact
that Switzerland might find herself
in similar position to Yugoslavia
one day and should then exhibit the
same courage and honor.
The German writer declared that
the Swiss paper was sharply criti-
cal of the Reich. although the Swiss
government is neutral.
In modern Europe. Mergle said,
the thesis that government could
be neutral while the press runs wild
with partisanship could lead to
nothing but compromise and dan
ger for the foreign policy of that
land"
Statements like those of the
Thurgauer Zeitung unfortunately
are not single derailments," Me-
gerle wrote. Because of lack CT
understanding there is resentment
and enmity toward Germany"

President Will Ask
Power 10 Purchase
80 Danish Ships
DiscIoses $1,000, 900, 900
Discussed in Defense
In Lost ; Months
Earlier story on Page ABB
Bv JOHN c, HENRY.

Concurring with official warnings
that the next 100 days will be cru
cial in the Nations defense effort.
President Roosevelt told a press
conference late today that 81 800,-
100000 was actually disbursed for
defense production in the first three
months of 1941
Although he described this pace as
still too slow, the Chief Executive
contrasted it with expenditures of
ST 400 100000 in the last six months
of 1910.
The President also revealed to his
press conference today that he will
ask Congress Thursday for leglsla-
ton empowering him to purchase for
use 80 Danish-owned ships now held
in protective custody in American
ports
Questioned about the ultimate dis
position of approximately 80 Ger
man and Italian owned ships also
held under custody. Mr.. Roosevelt
said he believed he had sufficient
legal right under the present limited
emergency to take over the vessels
on basis of forfeiture.
Asked if he believed American aid
could be made available to the Yugo-
slavs in time to be of value, the
President replied he did not know,
but that everything was being done
as quickly as possible.
Criticizes Certain Newspapers.
Simultaneous with these important
disclosures in the Nations al-out
efforts to strengthen its own de-
fenses and aid countries fighting the
axis powers, the President spoke
critically of American newspapers
which have violated the voluntary
censorship on news relating to this
effort. Referring specifically to those
papers carrying stories about the re-
cent arrival of a British battleship
in this country, Mr.. Roosevelt said
the explanations offered editorially
were the lamest he had ever read.
Pointing out, however, that a
majority of papers still indicate
their willingness to abide by volun-
tary censorship, the President said:
Il much prefer to go along with
the overwhelming majority of the
newspapers at this time. Nothing
else is in sight"
Breaks Down Figures.
Regarding the defense expendi-
lures, Mr.. Roosevelt broke down his
overall figures to show the following
disbursements for the first three
months of 1941:
For aircraft, ships and ordnance,
S197 100000: for new plant facili-
ties, S240,000,000; for bases, stations
and Notifications, $550,000, 900.
For the same categories in 1910
the President gave figures of $i16,-
900 900, s45,000,00o and $3.50 900 900,
respectively CFor the 1910 plant fa-
cilities figure, the $4,000, 900 is
for the full year,
Although he described the present
rate as still much too slow, Mr..
Roosevelt offered no formula for ac-
