PRESSURE FELT ~ WITH WARSHIPS

Bullitt Address Is Latest Hint as Issue Appears Certain in Congress.

By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS | Times Foreign Editor ' \WASHINGTON, Jan. 8—Warships will soon be part of the Ameri- © can program of aid to Britain, a high-ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee forecast today. The University of North Catolina speech ' of william C. Bullitt, former Ambassador to France, vas cited as a clear indication that the Administration will not stop short of warships if and when Britain says She must have them. Mr. Simms 4 Lord Halifax, new British Ambassador to Washington, is expected to list them smong Britain's requirements as goon as he arrives in this country. ‘Mr. Bullitt is one of the President’s closest advisers in European effairs. His North Carolina speech of Tuesday night, followed closely the line laid down in the President's fireside chat and message to Con-

gress. Same View as President

' We must give Britain and her allies what they need, he said, ‘'not what we think they need. Merchant ships, war vessels, airplanes, guns, munitions, steel, wheat—"all that we give will be used in defense of jour own security.” The feeling here is that Mr. Bullitt was speaking the President's thoughts. He almost paraphrased much the President has already said. The chief difference was the addition of war vessels. . Yesterday's statement of Secre tary of the Navy Knox also is quoted as indicative. The Secretary said that no more destroyers could be transferred to Britain without impairing the strength of the United States fleet. But, he addec signifjcantly, he spoke for himself -alone, not for the Administration. The final decision was not up to him,

Congress to Face Issue

Congress will almost certainly have to face the issue of warships or no warships for Britain. Committed as the President is to giving all-out aid to Britain, Greece and China, the question of making delivery can not be ignored. If, as Ms. Roosevelt said Monday, our national policy is “full support of all those resolute peoples, everywhere, who are resisting aggression and are thereby keeping war away from our hemisphere,” then the sea lanes, via which this aid must travel, must be kept open. And every British spokesman says these lanes are now in peril. To keep them open, they insist, they must have stranger COoNnvoys. | The President swapped the first 80 destroyers for naval and air bases without asking Congress. He has indicated, however, that he will not dispose of further war vessels without consulting Capitol Hill as well as the Navy. If he does that, there will be considerable debate. | Many in Congress agree with Secretary Knox. Disposal of further warships, large or small, would still

He was chairman of the regional War Industries Board for Indianapolis, consulting engineer of the U. S. Fuel Adminis tration and was active in recruiting arn engineer battalion. ? After nearly a quarter of & century, Mr. Insley again hears the pulsing ‘of the nation’s {industrial life to meet a war emeigency. Not far from the wooded plot at the rear of his house, a great Naval Ordnance plant for the manufacture of war equipment will rise, The city round about him throbs with the manufacture of war sup-

In| the warmth of his study, Mr. Insley recalled his duties as supervisor of war production in this region. He sat with his back to the win-

WASHINGTON, Jan, 9 (U. P.).— German activity in the Balkans may be prompted in large part by need for food supplies but they are going to find the pickings slim, in the opinion of Agriculture Department economists. Food stor=s in the Danubian basin countries of Rumania, Hungary, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria are more imaginary than real, according to Frederick Strauss of the Department’s Oftice of Foreigh Agricultural Relations. i Mr. Strauss, writing in the foreign agriculture review published today, said that Italy and Switzerland, as well as Germany, are| “increasingly attempting to draw; upon the agricultural resources of the Danube basin.” | Other Sources Cut Off The Balkan countries and Russia aford the only considerable source of imports for the Axis powers. Other. sources which normally furnished about 75 per cent of Axis imports have been recuced or shut off by the British blockade. The Scandinavian countries have been greatly over-rated as a source of Nazi food supplies. Despite the inadequacy of Danube basin food to fully meget home needs, it, is nevertheless the “chief potential foreign source of supply for the farm products needed by greater Ciermany and by the tonqueretk and still neutral countries of Europe,” Mr. Strauss said.

AWARD WINNER ORN IN STATE

Dr. | Cox, ‘Who Gets Honor Established by Lilly, Born in Rosedale.

Time} Special WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—Dr. Herald R. Cox, principal bacteriologist of tlie United States Public Health Service, who received the 1940 Theo»ald Smith award in raedical science, is a native of Rosedal?, Ind. He began his higher education at the | Indiana State College, Terre Hau'e, later receiving a doctorate fron. Johns Hopkins. Dr. Cex is 33. Tie award, which was presented at the recent meeting of the American Association for the Advancemer:t of Science in Philadelphia, was conierred on Dr. Cox for his outstanding research in the rickettsial diseases. These researches resulted in the development of a new teche nique for the preparation of pro-

der What all this will bring.” . He expressed his fear that the massing of industrial workers in

new communities would ‘bring|

ghost fowns when the war boom dies down. He said he feared industrial expansion was taking ‘too many men off the soil. “When I was a boy.” he said, “the men I respected a great deal were farmers—the men who lived by the soil. Farming by the small, independent farmer, is the backbone of our Democracy. The engineer spoke of the role of industry in defense with agquiet conviction, Industry, he said, can do the job the mation requires. But, he asked what will happen when enarmous stocks of war supplies are accumulated? He shook his head. From a drawer, he took a large and apparently new American flag. He displayed it carefully. It was the flag which the recruiting office he assisted in the last war presented him when the office closed and once flew atop the building where men were being recruited for the World War. On patriotic holidays, during 20 years of peace, it has flown from the Insley home. Tomorrow he will be honored by the ‘Indiana Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers which is presenting him a life membership. He has been active in this organization for many years and is the founder of the Scientech Club of Indianapolis. Since 1900, Mr. Insley has been in the engineering business here. Last year he retired as head of the Insley Manufacturing Co. ich he founded in 1905. :

President Philip Murray backed up the demand of the C.I. 0. executive board with criticism of “inefficiency and mal-administra-tion” which he said was hampering the defense program. The board asked President Roosevelt to issue an executive order requiring “all Government agencies to incorporate provisions in Government contracts that would exact compliahce with the labor laws of the land.” - It complained that “in spite of the enunciation. of labor policy by the National Defense Commission,” Government contracts still were being issued to corporations “which openly and flagrantly violate the laws guaranteeing to labor its right to live.” * The resolution specifically named the Bethlehem Steel Corp. and the Ford Motor Co.
