Monday jthat a warning had been
aent to Finland. He told report
ers that if she continues her op
erations jmore or less deep- hi so
viet territory, she will contribute
toward bringing the war nearer
to the United States, and will put
herself in complete subjugation
to the whims of Hitler.
The secretary said the United
States realizes It may be diffi
cult forj Finland to make peace
with this soviet union at this,
time because of German pres
sure. He emphasised, however,
that this cannot alter the fact
that if the recent Finnish policy
Is continued It must bo because
the Finnish government no
lonter to a free arent of the
Finnish people or because both
government and people freely
choose to follow suear I policy

WASHIGfON, Nov. 3
Senator Codnally (D-Tex) told
the senate Monday that revision
of the neytralitjt.act.didnpi.inean,
a declaration of war any more
than had: previous foreign policy
steps but i added that Adolf Hil
ler already has given this coun
try "cause for war."
Connally, chairman of the for
eign relations committee, took up
the administration fight for neu
trality revision with a statement
that Hitler had demonstrated a
fixed determination to sink Amer
ican shipsl
"We cannot surrender our
rights and vet off the sea at
the cruel and coarse dictation
of a man who wants to conquer
the world," he added.
He spoke after informal polls
had indicated that the adminis
tratton had at least 51 certain
votes two more than a major
ity in, favor of the pending
legislation to knock out the neu
trality acit provisions preventing
the arming of American merchant
ships andS forbidding them to en
ter belligerent ports or combat
tones.
Leaders were counting on final
senate adton -by Wednesday but
Senator Wheeler (D-Mont), an
opponent5 of the measure, said a
final tally Thursday or Friday
was more likely.
ConnaUy, hjs arms flailing,
stepped into the debate after Sen
ators Taft (R-Obio) and Clark
(D-Mo) jhad questioned whether
this nation would be Justified In
entering ;the war because of sea
losses to-date.
"Now' the senator from Miss
ouri Is gettinr an excited about '
.his arithmetic and wants- to
know how many ships will have
to be sunk before well go to
war," Connslly declared. "I
ruesa Hitler oucht to know how
many so he can stop Just one
before the total number. ....
"How rnany ships do you want
sunk? How many lives do you
want loft? The passage of this
measure does not mean a declara
tion of jwar any more than did
the othef steps we have already
taken. If.lt were a question of
i having ijrause for war,' we'd al
ready be at war, because Hitler
has givefi us cause for war."

Whether two days of talks be

King had contributed anything to
the effort to insure the defeat of
nazism and so keep the new order
away from the western hemis

He remarked that there was
a continuing bond when he was

told it today:
as the'
ensign
The Kearny, a 1630 ton destroy
er of the Benson class, was on es
cort duty with a westbound con
voy. She and other destroyers
acting as escort received a mes
sage that an eastbound convoy
was being attacked by submarines.
Kearny and the other destroy
ers turned eastward and with
the smoke pouring from Its two
funnels knifed through the grey
Atlantic at her top speed of
about 36 nots.
They reached the eastbound
convoy, which was protected by
Canadian Corvette, late Thurs
day afternoon. The U-boat at
tacks had temporarily eeased
and the Amreiean destroyers
coursed the sea searching for
survivors of torpedoed vessels.
The scattered convoy reformed
and with the Kearny forming part
of the escort, sailed on into what
Lyman called "as black
a night
as I've ever seen."
Into this blackness darted the
hostile U-boats. The second at-
1 tack commenced.
They started to fire torpedoes
and we dropped depth charges
to drive them off," Lyman said.
"The submarines were prob
ably on the surface with their
decks awash and their engines
cut so we eouldat hear them.
One tanker was afire and sink
ing. A covett was try ins; to
pick up survivors. Somehow a
U-boat had maneuvered between
the Kearny and the convoy."
"She went after us."

One went off the bow, one

Two of these missed fire and "we

When ho returned to the bridge
the Kearny "was moving ahead

"knocked out our

slowly through the sea as a Ca
nadian corvette frantically sig
naled it, star shells burst to the
south and flames from three
burning tankers lit up the grim
seascape,
The first lieutenant in charge
of construction and repair came
forward with some enlisted men.
They cleared the bridge by drop
ping the wreckage overboard.
Meantime the chief engineer
and what remained of his crew
--"those seven fellows in r the for
ward fire room never knew what
hit them" got the engines into
shape.
"They did a wonderful Job,
repairing flooded fuel lines and
working down there in the dark
and danger," Lyman said.
"Pretty soon we moved for
ward at increased speed."
"It wasn't only the engineer
and his men who did well," the
officer continued. "The whole
damned crew did a wonderful
Job. There was no sign of panic.
Everyone just did his job and
two or three more. If I am tor
pedoed again I hope I have
this crew with me,"
Word was passed to the bridge
that an electrical fire had broken
out below. Lyman and some en

Sevastopol knocked out and No-

All the events of Monday
and of preceding days suggest
ed that whether Hitler original
ly had really intended to smash
Moscow, as he had Implied, he
was now using the thrust at the
center mainly to keep large
Russian forces Immobilised
there and In no position to aid
Marshal Timoshenko In the
south.
More and more it appears that
the Ukraine, now rather thor
oughly overrun, and the oil of the
Caucasus were Hitler's real ob
jectives that and the destruc
tion or immobilization of the Rus
sian armies as those of France
were beaten or otherwise put out
of action. That second condition.
however, has not been met and
there is nothing to indicate that
its conclusion is in sight
The British appeared still un
certain as to what they would do
about the Caucasus.
General Sir Archibald P.
Wavell. the British commander-in-chief
in India, has arrived to
Singapore, presumably to de
termine whether he could throw
a major part of his fore into
or near the Caucasus and at
the same time be sure that
Singapore remained safe from a
possible attack by Japan.
Information from British sources
on this point Monday night was
too general to give any clear in

This, the matter of a possible

that she make such a declara

tive persons in London said
that "naturally the United
