On Possibility

President Roosevelt adopted a
strategy Of silence today on future
methods for delivering goods to
Great Britain.

any more in the world of today"

ferring to the Presidents statement
that Army and Navy technicians

Wallace Called Disappointed"
On the other hand. no less per-
sonage than Vice President Wal
lace was reported to be disap-
pointed that his chief had not been
more specific as to how delivery
would be assured.
Mr.. Roosevelt did nothing to
quell conjecture yesterday at his
special press conference. He dis
claimed any intention of seeking
change or repeal of the Neutrality
Act, contending that it in no way
lnfringed on the principles of the
freedom Of the seas, which he
formally reasserted for the United
States Tuesday night.
BY ruling out action on the neu-
trality law, the President eliminated
the possibility of American mer-
chant ships being used to carry car
goes through present combat zones.
However, this caused one official to
recall Mr.. Roosevelt's specific asser-
tions in the past that the combat
zone quarantine did not apply to the
Nations naval vessels, which were
free to 60 wherever their missions
took them.
No Executive Orders Planned.
President Roosevelt, touching on
another subject of considerable spec
ulation, also told reporters yesterday
he contemplated no executive orders
at present to invoke any of the
numerous broad powers conferred
on him by the proclamation Of ar
unlimited national emergency. This
tended to confirm authoritative re.
