Vessels for England
And Northern Europe
Will Be First Armed

Applying TO Archoneel;
Work to Sturt at Once
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary OF he Navy Knox an
nounced today that ships plying TO
and from the British Isles "and
Northern Europe" would be the first
American merchant vessels armed
under the policy established by re-
vision of the Neutrality Act.
In the Nays first official state
ment on plans for arming ships,
Secretary Knox said that second pri-
ority would be given TO ships going
into the Red Sea and third prior
ity to those going into. the South
Atlantic.
While he did not say when work
would start. other authorities pre-
dicted that actual arming of Ameri-
can merchantmen would begin this
week. President Roosevelt Yesterday
signed the repeater which struck
from the neutrality law a prohibi-
ton against mounting guns on
merchant vessels and also eliminated
lI1c wy ~
such vessels into belligerent ports.
While Russia was not named in
Secretary Knox's announcement to-
day the reference to Northern Eu-
rope covered the sailing of American
merchantmen north of the British
Isles and the Scandinavian PENN
sula and to the Russian port of
Archaneel.
Supplies of 3. and 5 inch guns.
anti-aircraft machine guns and
trained gun crews already have been
assembled at ports which the Navy
Department did not designate pub
licly.
In general, the larger ships will
get the biggest guns, and the pre-
cedence in which the vessels will be
armed will depend largely upon the
varying dangers of the routes which
they will ply.

TOXIC. Nov. 18.-Foreign Minis
ter Shigenori Togo told Parliament
today that Saburo Kuruso, Japan S
special envoy to Washington, car
ried no new instructions, but lntl-
mated that the outcome of his mis-
sion would determine Japan's inter-
pretation of her obligations under
her Axis alliance.
Premier Gen. Hideki Toto and
Navy Minister Shigetaro Shimeda
declared to the same session that
Japan's army and navy were fully
ready for any ,eventuality. but these
statements replied TO questions con-
corning relations with Russia rather
than with the United States
The foreign minister. replying TO a
questioner. said the outcome Of the
talks which Mr. Kurusu began in
Washington yesterday with President
Roosevelt and Secretary of State

Ito state what effect the outcome
will have on the third clause of the
tripartite pact-the clause which
obligates each signatory to lend all
aid. including military. to its allies
if they are attacked by a power
not vet involved in the European or
China wars.
Sent to Aid Nomura.
The foreign minister said Mr.
Kurusu had been sent to Washing
ton only for the purpose of assisting
Ambassador Admiral Kichisaburo
Nomura and carried no new instruc-
tions He intimated that Japan S
fundamental position had not
changed since the opening of the
current Washington talks seven
months ago
The ministerial declarations fol-
lowed meeting of the cabinet in
the Parliament Building which the
newspaper Asahi said was highly
important and concerned the Ku-
rusu mission. Presumably the min
listers considered Mr.. Kurusu's re-
ports of his first meetings yester-
day with President Roosevelt and
Secretary Hull.
There were many indications that
the attention of both the cabinet
and the legislature was focused on
Washington as much as the extraor-
dinary Diet session here, now in its
fourth day.
