C.), an nouncing be was opposed to re peal of the arms embargo, told the senate today that, in the sinking of the British liner Athenia, "the finger of guilt more clearly points to soviet Russia than to any other nation." "Fantastic though it may seem," the North Carolinian asserted, "it is certuinly less fantastic than some of the other startling sur prises of tin past severul months which already are proved beyond any question. "While ut the moment most Americans believe that Germany sank the Athenia, there has not been published a shreri of concrete evidence to prove this." "But in the absence of concrete evidence," Reynolds continued, "there is a much stronger circum stantial case against Russia than any other nation . . . Let us remem ber that the two principle enemies of Russia are Germany and Great Britain. What could be sweeter than to help above them into a life und ileal b struggle from which Russia could pick, up the profits with little or no cost to herself?" Reynolds said that if the Rus sians did sink the Athenia "they nuiHt have chuckled with glee when they figured the entire world would blame ii on their German ally and not on the Russians. Senator Andrews. (D.. Flu.) led off the day's discussion with the argument that failure of congress to repeal the embargo, as the, ad ministration bill provides, might result In defeat of France um Britain and leave the American na tions "to face the nazi-soviet bloc on this side of the Atlantic."
