Congress Faces Job Of Deciding Entire U.S. Foreign Policy

Roosevelt’s ‘I Hate War’ and ‘We Choose Peace’ Studied for Key to Action in Neutrality Session.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19 (NEA) —Outbreak of actual war in Europe, and President Roosevelt's renewed pledge to defend Canada, which is now at war, mean that the special session of Congress opening Thursday faces a greater task than mere overhauling of the present Neutrality Law—it is a task that will decide U. S. foreign policy in a warridden world. For three years the President and all America have been making a succession of alternate gestures toward participation in world affairs, and retreats into isolation. Each time the United States seemed willing to adhere to “collective security” action, Europe abandoned it. Each

time Europe seemed on the point of “ = 8 getting together, the United “ORATORY AHEAD

drew back into isolation. To understand the complicated background of the coming debate on neutrality, it is necessary to trace the evolution of the Roosevelt foreign policy. The New Deal started out in 1933 with participation in the London eccnomic and monetary conference, a broad effort at international cooperation in those fields in the interest of peace. This effort was short-lived. Mr. Roosevelt called the American delegation home, and attention turned to domestic problems until 1935. Italy’s invasion of Ethiopia found the United States ready to carry its full share of ‘collective security” action against Italy, which had been formally declared an aggressor by the League of Nations. But the League powers backed down on the question of an oil embargo, and the United States, somewhat disillusioned, withdrew from a period of voluntarly co-operation with the League. To this mood of isolation came the Spanish war in July, 1936. The United States, co-operating with the European Non-Intervention Committee, clamped down an embargo on arms to both sides in Spain.

To White House May Add To Congress Debate.

By MARSHALL M’'NEIL Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.—The failure of President Roosevelt to invite to tomorrow's White House conference the leaders of the opposition to his plan to lift the arms embargo may serve, some here believe, to lengthen Congressional debate on neutrality, Tomorrow's meeting, including Democratic and Republican leaders of House and Senate and the nominal Republican Party chiefs, Alfred {M. Landon and Col. Frank Knox, may find the Congressmen present reaching a bi-partisan understanding to curb debate and blood-and-thunder oratory as far as possible. But the so-called isolationist group, including members of both

WPA MAPS $800,000 RECREATION SETUP

WPA recreation leaders today mapped programs for 400 Hoosier communities after an $800,000 appropriation for recreation projects was approved at Washington. Plans call for organization of 75 touch-football leagues, 250 basketball leagues involving 1500 teams and 275 work and craft shops, according to Quentin K. Hartke, state WPA recreation supervisor. Programs in each community will be sponsored by local organizations which will pay 30 per cent of the costs. The centers range in size from single-game rooms to entire buildings.

Duke to Leave For War Front

ONDON, Sept. 19 (U. P) —The Duke of Windsor prepared today to leave for France to serve with the British expeditionary force in France with the rank of major general. The former King, who returned to England with his Americanborn wife a week ago after a selfimposed three-year exile, dropped temporarily his rank of field marshal. He will take up a “staff appointment” in France.

ALLIES WORRY OVER BELGIAN FRONTIER

LONDON, Sept. 19 (U. P.) —British and French circles today professed concern about reported German military activities near the frontiers of Belgium and The Netherlands, although there was no official basis for such reports. Allied sources (also unofficial) said they had received reports that the Aachen (Aix La Chapelle) district, only a few miles from the Belgian frontier, was being evacuated by German civilians. (In Paris, similar concern was expressed about the Aachen evacua-

that part of the German forces being recalled from Western Front were concentrated “within striking distance” of the Belgian and Dutch frontiers. (Germany, however, has pledged to observe neutrality of both of the [small nations if they maintain a {neutral position.)
