"One finds It hard to reconcile

Roosevelt expreaaed the hope that
friendly -and peaceful relations
between the USSR and Finland

"One might think that matters
are la better shape between the
United State and. let ua say, the
Philippines or Cuba, who have
long; been demanding freedom and

between the soviet anion and Fin

similar to those recently conclud

On two occasions officers of the
German-prise crew told McConno
chle, he said, that they intended to
take ; the ship to Germany and
made no mention of Russia.
"We were steaming' northeast

chland came up quickly on the

trained on us," aald McConnochle.
ho made tho westward trip to
America on tho Flint as an emer

i a passenger. This was seven
days before the ahip was due at
Manchester. England, he said.
"After discovering that we were
carrying machine oil tor England,
tho officers In charge of the Ger
man boarding party said they were
sorry but they would have to take
ns to Germany, said McConno
chle.
"The Germans carried machine
guns, hand grenades and revolvers
and threatened to throw a gren
ade among ns if there waa trou
ble. They threw one in tho sea to
show as how it exploded.
"Several of the Germans spoke
English, one offleer speaking it
very well," he continued. "The
sailors wore cap ribbons of vari
ous whips, several from the Em-
den. I understand they were
names of vessels from which they
were drafted to form prize crews.
- "They said they came up to us
from Spanish waters and had pre
viously sighted two United States
coast guard cutters."

Senator Vandenberg (R-Mlch)

ing copper was among the com
modities to be discussed in ,a pro
posed trade agreement with chile.
The state department, he said.
had no authority to tinker with
the existing excise tax of four

therefore could not make any
concession to Chile on that com
modity.
Predicting the trade program
would not be renewed when it
expires next Jnno 12. Senator
McNary of Oregon. the republi
can leader, said the state depart
ment had gone beyond the terms

far as the world is, concerned.
anotnery ana inai me unuea
if the nations of Europe art
, ruined uy war,
Dean Morse, speaking on the
general topie of American rela
tionships to the world war, empha
sized the relative shrinking of the
world through improved means of
transport and communication,
which has resulted in a greater de
pendence among nations.
"The United SUtes is distinctly
a part of the world." he declared,
and added, 'Bonnary lines are too
artificial and arbitrary to . keep
emotions from running over them
from abroad. For that reason the
United States can never hope to
isolate herself from the rest of the
world.' " " '. r , -i
Dean Morse denounced the mis
use, of the word "neutrality" in
current congressional debates. He
characterized the. Issue as one of
staying out of war, not one of
maintaining neutrality or impar
tiality toward belligerents.
In eventual peace settlements
Dean Morse foresaw the great task
of this country. The peace settle
ment, the workmust be very dem
ocratic that is to say, it 'cannot
be a dictated peace . from either
aide. It will be necessary to have
agreements, not decisions; neith
er the United States, nor any oth
er nation, can arbitrate or Judge
the rights of victor or vanquished.
"Some permanent mechanism
of agreement among nations for
the future will be necessary for a
permanent settlement," he de
clared. "America, I hope, will be a
part of such a permanent settle
ment since she must live with the
natlona which participate in it
For that reason this country
should help to make the agree
menta right and equable."
