monious and held in a fine spirit.”| The merits of the President's program were not discussed, he said, but it was agreed that during the forthcoming debate “evervbedy will be given an opportunity to express | his convictions.” \ “A great deal of confusion exists in the minds of a number of people,” Mr. Barkley said, “because they have not had an opportunity to study the effect and relationship of neutrality to international law. | “I think the President's message very clearly drew the picture as it really is and that the tendency will h= to eliminate the confusion that has existed in the minds of many people.” | Mr. Barklev declined to say whether such topics as war profits and drafting of capital in event of war would be precluded from con-| sideration under the resolution adopted by the joint committee. However, he said he was certain the President had no such measures in mind when he convened the spe- | cial session, ! Congress is in three-day The President leaves today Hvde Park, N. Y., week-end.

! | Telegrams Please F. D. R. | {

The President said today that telegrams reflecting national reaction to his neutrality message were overwhelmingly favorable, He said that the volume of telegrams was in excess of any received after other recent speeches. White House Secretary Stephen T. Barly said that a tabulation kept by telegraph offices showed that all but 8 or 10 of the telegrams supported the President's proposals. Isolationists on the other hand claimed support in an avalanche of mail an the capital Mr. Roosevelt conferred with Senate Republican Leader Charles I.. MeNary (Ore). Senator Wallace H. White Jr. (R. Me.) Sheridan Downey (D. Cal), Senator Vic Donahey (D. O) and Senator Guy M. Gillette (D. Iowa).

Cabinet to Meet Today

Mr. Pittman also was scheduled to see the President, accompanied by Senator Tom Connally (D, Tex.). At 2 p. m. the Cabinet, augmented hv the chiefs of the three agencies created under the Reorganization Act, will meet Mr. Roosevelt with Postmaster Farley. The capital is experiencing a western front calm. But the fight is on with a splash of drama fit for fiction. “Just two old men left—" mused Senator Hiram W. Johnson (R. Cal). after 24 Senators had met in his office to plan against repeal of the arms embargo.

Recall Setting of 1919

In that same room 20 vears ago 19 Senators met to shake hands on "ho compromise” opposition to Woodrow Wilson's League of Nations. Senator Johnson and Senator William E. Borah (R. Ida.) are left todav of that little group that converted a Jost cause into a political triumph. But the setting was the same and Senator Robert M. La Follette (Prog. Wis.), who was his father’s secretary in 1919, emerged from the meeting to announce “we'll fight {from hell to breakfast.” The isolationists strategy board mustered 13 Republicans, eight Democrats, two Farmer-Laborites and one Progressive. They denied intention to filibuster but promised debate which already seems to discard Mr. Roosevelt's hope that this extraordinary session can adjourn in three weeks. Senators who met in Mr. Johnson's office were: Republicans (12) --Borah, Vandenberg, Capper, Nve. Tobey, Danaher, Frazier. Gurney, Reed, Bridges, Lodge and Barbour.

NAZIS LOSE OIL IN POLISH SPLIT

Russia Takes Grain Fields, Gives Hitler Industrial And Coal Areas.

(Continued from Page One) and if the Germans capture the city which has fought off the Nazis for 14 days. Regardless of whether this line of demarcation meant a vast concession by Hitler in his deal with Josef V. Stalin, it meant that Poland's big industrial, armament ana mineral districts fell largely into Nazi hands and will be of great importance in the war in the West. West Seems to Be Reason But the Ukrainian grain fields, the heart of the big Molish oil fields which Nazis needed for their me-

chanized army, and the frontier of} Rumania which Germans are seek-!

ing to dominate economically fell into Soviet hands. That Nazis would have seen such prizes slip from their hands in other

great from an industrial and the Western Front necessarily forced a quick settlement that would not antagonize the Soviets. In effect, however, the question of whether Germany can get sources for a leng war such as the British and French are preparing to fight in the West must now depend largely on the Soviets, who have stepped into a position to dcminate or control the sources of supplies which Hitler will need. Fighting Continues The Soviet area now adjoins and overshadows both the Baltic states of the north and Rumania in the south. Southeast of Warsaw captured a Polish armored train.

i | nore altogether the basic considerations. Because some nations now at war may be stronger on the sea than

others must we shape all of our legislation so as to deprive the one of an advantage fairiyv acquired? Are we in free America reduced to a condition where we can pass no

new law, repeal or modify no exist-'

ing statute, without examining what its immediate effect may be on all the countries of the world? Opposes Discrimination The message clearly outlines the true guide. Our laws should treat all alike. There must be no discrimination as far as we are concerned. When we have done that, we have done all that we can be required or expected to do. We are then truly neutral. But if we attempt to shape our laws to equalize conditions that vary in different countries, we have assumed a task that will all too soon put us on one side or the other. The sad experience we once had with an embargo should have warned us against passage of this unwise legislation. The President sorrowfully admits that he made a mistake in placing his signature on the law, As one who voted for passage, I confess my sin. The error being now disclosed. what reason is there to let it continue? There could be only one: nations have gone to war |liance upon our arms

That in re-

wise be at peace are now in the horrors of war because they thought they could crush their opponents if our arms embargo remained force. Let that argument be urged or even suggested, and no further debate will be needed to bring immediate repeal.

Sees Step to Peace

Repeal of the arms embargo will be a step toward peace. The cash and carry principle should be applied not only to munitions of war but to all purchases made by combatants. We should sell the warring nations nothing unless title passes here upon full payment in cash, and with no responsibility resting upon us after delivery to the pur-

chaser is made. That way lies non-

involvement for us. The President presents a telling argument in favor of keeping American travelers and American goods out of the danger zones. Do that and there is slight danger that we will be drawn into the war. Repeal ‘the arms embargo, making the other sugested changes in the neutrality act, and the likelihood of our being drawn into the war will be greatly reduced.

The President himself does not dare stand upon that naked premise. So, while he chides us embaigoists for departing from international law. the President himself proposes to depart from it in six particulars, most of them already covered by the neutrality code which he condemns. This makes his plea a bit confusing. But one issue still seems to emerge. The President wants to tear up the embargo on “arms, ammunition and implements of war” and substitute a “come and get it” program. Stripped to its simplest terms. today's issue is: Should we keep the embargo or should we substitute “cash and carry.” and which is the surer passport to American peace? The paramount consideration is that it is an unneutral act to alter the neutrality code in the midst of

admitted purpose of aiding one belligerent against the other: and one unneutral act may swiftly lead to another and another and into war itself. If we want to heip one belligerent, let us be honest and courageous enough to say =o and do so with evervthing we possess. Let nus not try to be half in and half out of this war. The embargo stays all the wav out. And that is why many of us tenacicusly cling to it.

Charge Held Unneutral

The embargo—part of this neutrality code—was adopted two years ago. when we could still think objectively about keeping out of war. We all thought this embargo was the best way. The Senate thought so, 63 to 6. The House thought so. 376 to 13. The President thought so, for he signed it. The country thought so overwhelmingly. Has anything happened to change this view if we are still trying to be neutral? No—and the President admits it. I submit it is a clinching argument to the contrarv. If “the essentials” have not changed since January thev have not changed since 1937 and should not be disturbed today. To disturb them is to invite the con|sequences of an unneutral act. The President savs it is incon{not embargo all other commodities. Perhaps he has something there. But we did not embargo evervthing else in the neutrality code which he signed and it is too late now to change the rules in the middle of the game. The President speaks of the “realism” which appreciates “how close to our own shores” some of these alien “dangerous paths” can come. Good! Let's be realistic.

Britain Is Blamed by Berlin for Slaying

BERLIN, Sept. 22 (U. P), — Inspired Nazi sources blamed Great ‘Britain today for the assassination of Premier Armand Calinescu of Rumania. The Deutscher Dienst Agency, regarded as semi-official, said that Britain wanted him out of the way because he was neutral. The Voelkischer Beobachter, official Nazi Party newspaper organ, said without explanation: “The fact that the assassination occurred exactly on the opening day of the United States Congress special session is further proof that it was inspired by Britain.”

Plot Born in Foreign Country, British Say

LONDON, Sept. 22 (U, P.).—British quarters inclined today to blame the assassination of Premier Armand Calinescu of Rumania on a plot fomented in a foreign country.

It was added that King Carol's prompt appointment of three Army generals to key Cabinet posts probably had forestalled any suggestion of disorder which might have been used by a foreign power as a pretext to invade Rumania on a “pacification” mission.

Pro-Nazi Propaganda Inspired It, Says France

PARIS, Sept. 22 (U.P. .—French sources expressed belief today that the assassination of Premier Armand Calinescu of Rumania was inspired by pro-German and pro-Nazi propaganda. Premier Calinescu fell, it was alleged, because he upheld his country's independence against foreign attempts at domination.

French

PARIS. Sept. 22 (U. P.)—French and German fortresses and field batteries increased intensity of their fire on the Western Front today but neither army risked direct attacks. Heaviest fire was concentrated in the Blies Valley where Germans sought to block the easiest access to Westwall and the wooded hills southeast of Saarbruecken where French guns have been planted. With slowing down of German operations on the Eastern front Front authoritative military quarters said there was a notable increase in the intensity of German fire on the Western Front where hundreds of German batteries withdrawn from Poland have arrived as reinforcements. | French sources said that Germany has withdrawn 40 divisions from the Eastern Front. Some have | been sent to rest camps while others {are arriving on the Western Front. | Authoritative quarters expressed { belief that there will be no major action on the Western Front until the Polish campaign ‘has been com- | pletely liquidated.
