WASHINGTON, April "a. - A
resolution calling for adoption OF
a common policy by all Western
Hemisphere nations for requisi-
tioning idle foreign ships in their
harbors has been drafted by nine
atin-American diplomats and
Undersecretary of State Sumner
Welles.
No method for requiSitionine
the idle foreign ships was proposed
in the resolution, it was learned
and whether any individual nation
might desire not to requisitior
ships in its ports would be left
up to that nation.
This governments own program

United States ports through new
legislation meantime neared de-
cisive action on Capitol Hill.
The House merchant marine
committee, considering an ad-
ministration bill authorizing the
President to buy or requisition
the 200-odd ships, agreed to vote
on the measure tomorrow. A
favorable report was considered
nearly certain. However, a BIZ
partisan move to revise the bill
to prevent the President from
transferring to Britain any ac-
quired German, Italian, Danish or
French ships developed within the
committee.
