row the bill down to the House pro-
vision for arming merchant ships
On this move to keep American ships
out of combat zones and belligerent
ports, the administration forces may
lose two or three Senators who will
vote for final passage. but they are
confident of beating restrictive
amendment.
After the Senate acts, the bill will
face its last hurdle in the House
where Chairman Bloom of the For
eign Affairs Committee is prepared
to move to concur in the Senate's
broader repeal provisions if no eur-
ther changes are made. He indi-
Gated yesterday he is still confident
of favorable House action.
Senator Ball said he is supporting
the bill because lie believes it to be
the policy which best guarantees
the future, security and freedom OF
the United States, and, second, be-
cause I believe that to turn back
now would be disastrous, would in
vite war in the Pacific, and would
encourage Hitler TO continue his
march of conquest"
Answering the isolationist argu-
ment that the bill will lead this
country into a shooting war, the
tall, deep-voiced Minnesotan de-
clared:
Il agree that its passage probably
will increase the shooting which is
already going on in the Atlantic.
But, whether 1t means all-out war,
whether it means another A. E. F.,
depends upon whether those meas
ures will be necessary to achieve
our objective, the defeat of the
Nazis.
Il don't believe any man living
can say for certain whether those
steps will be necessary. I hope that
the. assistance of our merchant ma
rine and the participation of our
Navy will be enough to do the job.
If 1t isn't, I am prepared to cross
that bridge when We come to it.
And I would remind the Senate that
there can be no expeditionary force
to Europe without further action
by Congress. and we will have an
opportunity to pass on that issue if
it comes before us"
Later, Senator Ball said he would
dislike as much as any man to see
this Nation involved in war, but
added.
Yet, I believe there are some
things worse than war, and one Of
them is the obliteration of the free
dom and dignity of civilized man
which has taken place in Europe" ]"

Proposal 10 Shift

Suggestion for Transfer

Chairman McCarran of the Sem

last night that he is seriously con-
sidering a suggestion that the pro-
posed municipal court which would
be created by merger of Police
Court and the existing Municipal
Court, be given jurisdiction over
all domestic relations cases with
the exception of those involving
minors which are handled in juve-

A House-approved bill providing
for consolidation of the municipal

It gave this picture of some Of the

anticipated:
Planes designed for the eastern
front were constructed so that land

and motorcars: effect of cold on pre-

Movable power stations have been
provided. and it was said that larger
huts could be heated and lighted
with electricity. Other petroleum
type heaters also are expected to be
used.
There will even be movies and

its BLACK rule" over Europe is the
sworn enemy of everything that
Americans hold dear, he said, and
that evil force must be crushed"
In recent months, he continued,
significant change has taken
place in Americas foreign policy,
brought about by the pressure Of
those events.
Defeat of this resolution and re-
versal Of our policy of doing what
ever is necessary to defeat Hitler
will not launch the United States
down any path strewn with the
olive branches of peace" Senator
Ball told the isolationists.
Warns Against Negotiated Peace.
Predicting what would happen if
America reverses its policy, the Min
nesota Senator declared
If we withdraw our aid to the
nations resisting Nazi aggression,
Or If we decline to take measures
necessary to make that aid effective,
then one Of two things must hap
pen. Either we have a stalemate
in the European war with a nego-
tiated peace of some sort, or else
Hitler will be victorious and that
will be the signal for japan to
launch new aggressions in the Far
East.
I'm view of the events of the
past two years, no thinking per-
son can believe that a negotiated
peace. leaving the Nazis in control
OF most Of Europe, with their tre-
mendous military machine intact
and their dream of world domina-
ton still driving them, could be
more than breathing spell while
the whole world prerared for a new
war that would be inevitable.
That would mean a continual
ton for Years, and probably for
decades, sof a tremendous defense
| program here in the United States.
The on'v wav we could be sure of
any measure of security or peace
within our own boundaries would
be to maintain a tremendous stand
ing army and air force and a two
ocean navy greater than any now
contemplated.
Even then, there would still be a
strong probability that we would
have to fight. If the other alterna-
tive should occur, and Hitler should
be victorious in Europe, and Japan
in Asia, then I think there is no
question but that the United States
would eventually fight, would 20
to war.
I'VE would go to war against both
Japan and the NaZis. and we would
fight alone and In both oceans. Pos
sibly we could win such a war. I
have great faith in the spirit and
the courage and the enterprise of
the American people once they are
aroused. and believe we might win
such a fight. even with all the rest
of the world against us. But the
odds would be heavy, and the
chances strong that We might lose"

American War Dead
BY CLAUDE A. MAHONEY,
St,r Cav rorresnopdopt

QUANTICO. Va, Nov. 1.-Secre-
tary of the Navy Knox told the
third graduating class of the
Marine Corps School here today that
the whole Nation "mourns and
glories" with its Navy dead. He
pledged that we're in this fight to
a finish"
The Secretary was referring to the
II men killed when the destroyer
Kearny was struck while on convoy
duty October II and to the pos
sibility of loss of lives in the sinking
OF the Reuben James.
Mr.. Knox reviewed the first cas-
ualties he saw in the Spanish
American War, and said they made
a different company of that outfit.
The Nation now has captured some
Of that feeling, he said
Standing on the stage OF the post
theater. the Secretary assured the
graduates and guests that not only
is the Nation in the fight to the fin
ish, but added, I'VE will make no
peace at its end save only a peace
of Justice and right And then We
will put our strength to the task
of maintaining that peace-by force,
if necessary"
The Nation need have no doubts
as to the rightness of our cause, he
added.
IF we are not right" he declared,
then all civilization is mistake,
and all progress halts.'
German sinkings of American
ships are worse than the old-time
piracy, Mr. Knox said, because the
pirates of an earlier day gave their
victims an opportunity to fight for
their lives. Hitler strikes in the
night. he said.
Liberty Must Be Deserved.
Warning that personal liberty IS
something that cannot be had by
heritage, but must be deserved and
protected, the Secretary asserted
that history is full of stories of
nations that let themselves grow
soft. He cited France in particular.
and reviewed the recent request Of
conquered French leaders to their
own people to stop shooting Ger
mans because of reprisal killings.
Can any nation pass through a
more perfect Gethsemane than
that?" he asked.
He also characterized America S
fight as primarily fight for self
defense, one of the most primal
instincts of man. A fight for self
defense never has required luStifi-
cation in international law, he said.
304 Get Commissions.
These are days when men will be
tested, Mr.. Knox said, assuring the
graduates they were fortunate in be-
ing able to wear the uniform under
these circumstances. The new Of
ficers are all graduates of accredited
colleges.
In introducing the class of 304
graduates, who took the oath that
advanced them from flrst-class prl-
Yates to second lisutenants in the
Marine Corps, Brig. Gen. Samuel
M. Harrington said the class had
lost total of 55l pounds since COM
ing to the post-mainly "loss OF
useless fat" Individuals lost or
gained as much as l3 pounds, he
added.
Col. Samuel c. Shepherd. jr, ad-
ministered the oath. and Secretary
Knox presented the diplomas. An
air and ground parade preceded the
ceremonies.

This right exists whether he be-

I'VE firmly hold that if our estab-
