F. D. R. Returns to Act As Ship Dispute Umpire

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9 (U. P.).— President Roosevelt returned: to the capital today to have a hand in the Government decision as tp whether the United States Lines can transfer eight ships to Panamanian registry in order to transport munitions, food, and other cargoes to the ports of European belligerents. A U. S. Maritime Commission spokesman -said today that the President and - Commission chairman, Emory S. Land, probably would survey the whole controversial subject this afternoon. The Commission has authorized since the outbreak of the European war the transfer of 17 oil tankers and two freighters from United States to foreign registry, records showed today. Sixteen of the tankers are owned by the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey and one was owned jointly by the Transford Co. and American Petroleum Transport. The two freighters are owned by the United Fruit Co. The American flag was lowered aboard a Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey tanker in Boston harbor yesterday and the Panama flag raised in its place. The American crew had been fired and a Canadian crew was hired in its place. Officials said the trans-

Edgemont Methodist Church Class Writes Scriptures on Aerial Messengers and Bids Them Bon Voyage: ‘Members Now Await Answers.,

Some place over the United States today, presumably in the air, were 40 favorite scriptures of members of the Happy Hour Sunday School Class of the Edgemont Methodist Church.

address.

These they attached to 40 gas< filled rubber balloons. And, “with, appropriate ceremonies at the home of the class president, Mrs. L. R. Doll, they released them. Whipped by a strong breeze, many of the balloons at first caught in a nearby tree, but the wind soon relented, and the messages soared skyward.

After their first concern over the launching, members of the class began speculating over how far the lighter - than -air mes= sengers would go. If enough answers are received the group plans to Yepeay yes= terday’s action. The original idea came from another Indianapolis group who

"ITALY TO ENTER SIMMS IS TOLD

Duce to Join Allies for Djibouti and Balkans, Diplomats Predict.

By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS * Times Foreign Editor WASHING , Nov. 9.—Italy is preparing to throw her full weight into the European balance not later

ports received here from diplomatic observers stationed on the other side of the Atlantic.

The same sources add that the chances are she will make her influence felt on the side of the Allies. . Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler, it is said, have already come pretty close to a parting. Already seriously perturbed - over anschluss with Austria, the absorption of Czechoslovakia and the Reich’s economic and political penetration of southeastern Europe and the Balkans, the Duce is described as completely disillusioned by the Fuehrer’s pact with Stalin and the partition of Poland. Hitler Changes Mind The whole Italo-German rapprochement, Fascist sources agree, was based on “the struggle against Bolshevism.” Premier Mussolini publicly characterized Bolshevim as “the modern form of the most. ferocious Byzantine tyranny—a regime of slavery, famine and blood.” Fuehrer Hitler said much the same thing at the time, declaring that any nation that accepted assistance from Soviet Russia’ “would thereby seal its own doom.” But Sig. Mussolini, unlike Herr Hitler, is still said to feel as strongly about MosCOW as ever. Accordingly, Sig. Mussolini is taking steps to bring Italy to the strongest possible state of military preparedness. He is said to feel that

The Duce is known to hold that ‘|the slightest show of weakness on the part of Italy would end in her being drawn into the war, whether she wanted to or not, and without Bes: having much to say about which side. Sig. Mussolini, therefore, is now strengthening his Army, Navy and Air Force to the utmost in order to keep the initiative in his own hands, whether for the purpose of influencing peace or of tipping the scales of war should he find it impossible to stay out. { Two developments in the basin of the Mediterranean, the Black Sea

and on the banks of the Danube would not: be surprising. First, the completion of a neutral blo¢ in the Balkans under Italian sponsorship. Second, a rapprochement between Italy, on the one hand, and Britain and France on the other. ; The price Britain and France must pay for Italian friendship would probably include the French port of I} uti; the French railway f his port up to Addis Ababa, ih Ethiopian capital; a voice in the management of the British-controlled Suez Canal; a new agreement covering Italian rights in Tunisia, and a sort of triple entente covering the area of the Mediterranean.
