At the White House, Stephen Early, the president's secretary, said Stimson had discussed the address 'with the president before delivering it and told reporters approval could be assumed. Peppers senate speech urged that the United States stiffen its policy toward the axis. He asked that both ships and planes be used to convey mu nitions to England. He urged that this country, in collabora tion with England, take poses sion of Greenland, Iceland, the Canary and Cape Verde Islands, the Asores and Dakar, AVest Africa. And he proposed that American fliers enlisting la the Chinese army "make a shambles' of Tokyo. By risking a few lives now. he said, the nation could avoid the necessity for an expeditionary force and a greater loss of life later on. He was challenged by Senators Clark (D-Mo) and Mc Carran (D-Nev.) who denounced his speech as "a declaration of war."

The people were ready to go ahead along the course he had outlined, he asserted, if an "au thoritative and determined leader ship says" that is what should be done. Then, he left the floor, to the disappointment of several sen ators whom Pepper had waved aside when they soajrht to In- -terrupt his speech to fire ques tions at him. Senators Clark (D-Mo) and McCarran (D-Nev) swung swiftly to the attack. Clark called Pepper "one of the most adept and vociferous advo cates of Hitlerism in the world," accused him of being an "advo cate of dictatorship for this coun try," and asserted: i "My theory is that the senator from Florida will get us into this war before we have a chance to vote upon it." McCarren raised the question whether Pepper was speaking for the administration and called the Pepper speech a "declaration of war, hot against those who would challenge our system of govern ment, but against the entire world." He urged that the nation concentrate upon building its own defenses so that whenever an in vader appears the country will be able to defend itself. Pepper returned to the floor lat er, after an absence of about 45 minutes. ; While the senate was engrossed in the developing controversy over a stiff er attitude toward the axis and the question of convoys, sev eral developments related to Brit ish aid and the national defense arose elsewhere in Washington. President Roosevelt met for an hour and a half with his principal advisors on defense and was be lieved to have discussed the possi billty of speeding the production of bombing planes.
