We are rich in resources, we are mighty in industry and our production capacity knows no limits. Theirs is already overtaxed and being systematically wrecked by bombs from American planes.”

MacNider Stirs Debate

The A. F. of L. leader asked Americans to “recognize and acknowledge the loyalty, constructive accomplishments and sincere efforts of American workers now. fighting a war of production,” that they “will never give up until that war is won.” Commander Milo J. Warner read & message from Prime Minister

and pledged |

Winston Churchill expressing thanks|

for the aid America is “bringing to our common cause” and said Britain was strengthened by knowledge that

“the spirit of the United States is|®

at our side.” : Past National Commander Hanford MacNider, meanwhile, sought convention support for a resolution asking the national administration and Congress to answe: the question: “Are we in the war now?” Mr. MacNider said he would attempt to win approval of a resolution as a substitute for the “national unity” resolution to be placed before the convention. His proposal was rejected by a 14 to 10 vote of the resolutions committee.

Defeated in Committee He decided to prepare the sub-

_ 8titute after yesterday’s session in

which the Legion indorsed the Administration’s foreign. policy, urged

' repeal of the Neutrality Act, asked

elimination of the restriction prohibiting dispatch of troops outside the Western Hemisphere, and urged unified support for the Government’s foreign policy. Mr. MacNider wanted to amend the foreign policy committee report and said the Legion should ask an answer to the question: “Are we at war now.” He was persuaded to withdraw his amendment and submit it to the resolutions committee, which later rejected it. resolution said the public facts except military and naval secrets, that Congress should perform its “constitutional duties” and “make a decision,” and that “until such a decision is reached by Congress or precipitated by attack on us the executives of our Government should refrain from any steps beyond their authority.”

Local Man Honored

The resolution accepted by the committee saitl “unity of purpose in the present peril to our nation can be accomplished and the American way of life preserved only by full atlherence to our Constitution.” ‘Before adjourning yesterday the delegates tabled, by a vote of 804 to 604, a minority report condemning American aid to Russia for the war with Germany. : : :Phil F. Clements, Indianapolis, was elected historian national of the 40 & 8, the Legion's funmaking group, at a meeting this morning. £

‘|Portland, Ore. to Great Britain, it

was learned today.

The Leme is the first of the seized | E: Axis vessels to bs turned over :

directly to Britain. She is an 8000ton combination passenger and cargo, ship and was seized at Portland on March 29 when coast guardsmen took over all German and Italian shipping in United States ports. The decision to turn her over to the British was believed to forecast similar action with other seized Axis ships. ; / It was believed she would operate as an armed merchantman under the British flag.

payrolls, he would be subject to a $1000 fine or a year’s imprisonment or both. . Generally similar language has been included in most recent defense appropriation bills. : ] The new Lend-Lease request, whose total was in line with expectations, followed disclosure by Navy secretary Frank Knox that the Navy is convoying ships of all flags carrying Lend-Lease supplies. There was virtually no congressional reaction to Col. Knox’s revelation. Prohibition of convoys, however, had been one of the main objectives of the non-interventionist bloc and members of it frequently used as a battle cry against President Roosevelt’s campaign statement: | : “Convoys mean shooting and shooting means war.” Vice | President Henry A. Wallace called [for an “action” program to increase raw materials needed for defense. The Office of Export Control was transferred to the Economic -Defense Board, headed by Mr. Wallace, “to intensify our policy of preventing shipments to Axis-dominated countries.” . The Navy revealed that plans for safeguarding American coastal waters against attack are complete and that. anti-submarine nets already have been laid in some har-
