British Forced 10 Abandon
Passenger Service 10 U. 5.
Nv the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-Axis bomb
ing planes roaring far out to sea,
submarines lurking in steamer tracks
of the Irish coast and sporadic
raider attacks have cut of British
passenger ship service between Eng
land and New York, reliable marine
circles said today.
This service was the last marine
link for English travellers coming to
the United States, as other nations
gave up when the Atlantic became
dangerous. British freighters, how
ever, continued to ply the Atlantic.
At the same time shippers said
British passenger service in the
Pacific had been sharply curtailed
and may be halted due to the neces-
sity of converting liners into troop
ships and armed merchant cruisers.
The last large British passenger
liner to reach New York was the
armed and camouflaged 19,597-ton
Samaria, which slipped into port
November 10 with 6S4 passengers
after q narrowing voyage.

Scotland Yard Agents
Raid Offices Of
Communist Paper
Daily Worker and
The Week Banned
From Publication
~ the Associated Press.

LONDON, Jan. 21.-Scotland Yard
detectives today raided the offices
Of the Daily Worker, organ of the
Communist party in Great Britain,
and stopped publication just as the
paper was going to press.
The raid came shortly after the
government had issued an order
banning further publication and
delivery of the Daily Worker and
also of The Week, weekly news
letter of Leftist tendencies.
The order was issued by the Home
Secretary, who, it said, was satisfied
that in each paper there had been
systematic publication of matter
calculated to foment opposition to
the successful prosecution Of the
war.
1t directed that the presses and
other apparatus of the two papers
should not be used until permission
of a high court is obtained.
The Week is published by Claud
Cockburn, a Leftist journalist.
An informed source said that the
Laborite Home Secretary, Herbert
Morrison, acted after long and full
consideration of the issues involved
and because a warning issued to the
Daily Worker last summer had not
achieved its purpose"
The Communist organ began pub
hcation January l, 1880. It's distrl-
button outside Britain was banned
last May and there have been de-
mands in the House of Commons for
Its suppression.
It was insisted in authoritative
quarters that today's action did not
imply any change in the govern
ments policy of freedom of the
press and that the fact these two
publications we're tolerated so long
was evidence that the government
did not want to interfere with jour-
nalistlc privileges unless the provo
ration became grave,

Committee.

publican. of Illinois, began the aft
ernoon session with this statement:
Mr. Ambassador. 1 listened with
a great deal of interest this morn
ing, but I'm still somewhat in doubt
about your position. Are you for
or against the bill?"
I'm against the bill in its pres
ent FORM
Representative Arnold Democrat,
of Illinois asked Mr.. Kennedy if he
had any idea President Roosevelt is
trying to get this country into war.

sador answered.

hearing room applauded the de-
parting Ambassador.

tions for amendments.

them" the Ambassador replied,
adding that, like any citizen, Il
want to see what this will bring
forth" He said if he had any later
he would submit them.
He was asked by Mr.. Chipperfleld
If he regarded the bill necessary.
Il think that powers to speed
up defense are essential" Mr.. Ken
nedy replied.
Mr.. Chipperfield wanted to know
what those powers are, Mr.. Kennedy
replied he had asked that question
himself this morning, but did not
get the answer.
Denies "Using Influence"
Representative Stearns, Republi-
can, of New Hampshire recalled Wis
iting Mr.. Kennedy in London in the
summer of 1899, and asked the Am
bassador if he said on that occasion
he was using all possible influence
to keep England from going to war"
The witness answered he was not
using influence, but was hoping and
praying England would not 60 In
