Rep. Fish (R-NY) told the house that the two cabinet members are "the two greatest arch - intervention ists in the country." On the other hand. Senator' Pepper (D-Fla) said that repeal of the neutrality act "will give as some freedom of action which we need in such troublous times" and Senator , Glass (D-Va) said he would go further and "shoot creation out of anyone that interferes with f any of our vessels." .

"If we are going to keep away from our shores the forces that have convulsed the old world and now menace the new, the president wrote, "the Job will be done in large measure by the ships and the sailors of the merchant marine and by the working men who build the ships and supply them. "If they fail, the whole effort fails. I know the effort will not fail; that more and faster ships ships will be built, manned by trained American seamen, and that they will carry through the open waters of the seven seas im plements that will help destroy the menace to free peoples every Program Held At School End JEFFERSON The RlUlersburg school, about four miles southwest of Jefferson, held its closing day program May 15.
