Barkley Takes Floor.
Taking the floor against the
Ellender amendment, Majority
Leader Barley listed numerous
occasions since 1912 on which the
American Navy has gone outside its
own waters without action by Con-
gress to protect American interests.
He said he was against the amend
ment because the pending bill
neither adds to or takes away from
the Presidents power to direct the
movement of naval vessels, and for
that reason the amendment seeks
to say that what is not in the bill
will not be done.
While discussing the Presidents
power as Commander in Chief, Sena-
tor Barkley recalled the occasion
when President Theodore Roosevelt
sent the United States Fleet around
the world Congress at first was
reluctant to grant the necessary ap-
preparation. he said, whereupon
Theodore Roosevelt let it be known
he would send the feet half way
around the world and a means
would have to be found to get it
back.
Meanwhile. the lease-lend meas
ure, after having been held for more
than two weeks behind wave of
oratory, appeared to be moving for

week.

It is generally believed that more

Senator Smith, Democrat, of South
Carolina, one of those still uncom-
mitted, contended the bill presents
Senators with a choice between

added, I'VE have an objective, why

officials declined to elaborate on
the reasons for either the action in
closing the Detroit and Newark con-

ing comment when asked if they

There was no official explanation
of why the Italian consulates at De-

objectives of the closing request,
but 1t was noted that Italy is the
only foreign government maintain
ing consulates in those places.
The Italian order closing American

Refers Only TO Two Cities.
Giacomo Profili has been Italian
vice consul at Detroit since No

Chiesa dIsasca has been vice con-
sui at Newark since March IL, 1887.
The request for their withdrawal, it
was explained, refers only to those
cities and they may be transferred

In the case of Germany, however,
the United States has not been
forced to close any consulateS in
that country. Germany has required
the closing of American conSulates
in some German occupied countries.
The Italian Embassy here declined
any immediate comment on the
State Department announcement.
1t was understood that the request
was delivered last night, SO the EN-
bassy here had not had time to re-
ceive official reaction from Rome.
There was no immediate indica-
ton that the action was directed
against the Detroit and Newark vice
consuls personally, although the ac-
tivities Of many foreign consular
agents-particularly German and
ItaIian-have been under scrutiny
for some time by the Dies Commit
tee and the State and Justice De-
partments.
So far as is known the men af-
fected by the State Department
request had not been involved in
reports by the Dies Committee con-
corning alleged illegal political and
propaganda activities in this coun-
try by some consuls. The fact that
Vice Consuls Profili and Della
Chiesa were not requested to leave
the country also indicated their
personal activities were not involved
