WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.
Senator Carter Glass disclosed
today he has two choices for the
1940 democratic presidential nom
ination Vice-President Garner
and Senator Byrd (D., Va ).
"I know of no man better qual
ified for the presidency than
John Garner or Harry Byrd,
Glass told reporters.
The 81 -year-old Virginian de
clined to discuss his views regard
ing a third term for President
ftoosevclt. Although Glass gen
erally has been understood to op
pose a third term, his friends re
ported he did not wish to say any
thing which might create party
friction.
It was said authoritatively, how
ever, the senator would work to
have the Virginia delegation to
the democratic convention in
structed for Byrd but Glass would
support Garner if Byrd were un
able to obtain the presidential
nomination.

Americans Preferred,
Nippon Consul Says
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. (At
Kensuke Horinouchi. the Japanese
ambassador, asserted today Am
ericans were being given special
consideration by Japanese military
authorities in China.
Horinouchi talked with report
ers after Sumner Welles, acting
secretary of state, had made public
reports saying the Japanese had
been interfering with the trans
portation of American goods Into
the British and French conces
sions at Tientsin. China.
The ambassador said while
other nationals may be delayed In
their movements to and from the
concessions, "Americans pass very
quickly." As a general rule, he
said, Americans are granted pref
erential treatment.
Horinouchi said he had not been
advised the Japanese had interfer
ed with the movement of Ameri
can goods to the concessions. If
there had been any delay, he de
clared, it had developed from mil
itary necessity.

Chamberlain Tells
Of Retaliation Move
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
plans for reprisals.
Chamberlain said The Hague
convention to which Germany was
a party provided that when an
chored mines are used every pre
caution must be taken for security
of peaceful navigation. The British
for instance assert that the mines
they please are so arranged that, if
they break loose, they are auto
matically rendered harmless.
"This is the very essence of the
convention as a mine cannot dis
criminate between a ",'arship and
a merchant ship; between a belli
gerent and a neutral," the prime
minister said.
Chamberlain said the conven
tion provided, that a danger zone
must be announced as soon as mil
itary exigencies permit, once the
mines have ceased to be under ob
servation of those who laid them.
The prime minister said if un
anchored mines are used they must
become harmless one hour after
those who laid them have lost con
trol over them.
"Culmination"
"None of those provisions has
been observed by the German gov
ernment in laying mines which oc
casioned the losses 1 mentioned
and this fresh outrage is only the
culmination of a series of violations
of agreements to which Germany
set her hand." he said, citing the
sinking of the British liner Ath
enia with a loss of 112 lives on the
first day of the war.
'These attacks have been made
often without warning and to an
increasing extent In complete dis
regard of the dulcs laid down in
the submarine protocol to which
Germany subscribed or to the ele
mentary dictates of humanity.
'The government Is not prepar
ed to allow these methods of war
fare to continue without retalia
tion." 'I may remind the house that in
the last war as a measure of justi
fied reprisal for submarine attacks
on merchant shipping, exports of
German origin or ownership were
made subject to seizure on the
high seas," the prime minister said.
(In Berlin, suggestions last week
that Britain would seize exports
from Germany resulted in Nazi
comment that the action would
work the -greatest hardships on
neutrals because the goods export
ed are out of German hands or
ownership when they leave Ger
man ports.)
One of the Mastiff's crew died
of injuries and four were miss
ing. She was of 490 tons and was
the sixth British warship lost in
the war. She presumably went
down while engaged in the peri
lous work of clearing mines out of
the North Sea shipping lanes where
they had wreaked havoc on mer
chant shipping during the week
end. The explosion that sank the
Mastiff was heard on shore and a
lifeboat, motorboat and airplanes
rushed to the scene. A passing
f-hip picked up some of the Mas
tiff's crew and transferred four of
the injured to a lifeboat. The four
were suffering from severe burns,
exhaustion and shock and one
died in a hospital where the other
three wore confined.
Another merchant loss, not a
victim of the new activity, was
confirmed today when the New
castle lines announced that hope
had been abandoned for the 4.600
ton steamer Newton Beech and her
crew of 34, overdue for more than
a month.
Of the 12 ships reported sunk
since Saturday, the Mastiff was
the only warship. She was the
first British mine-sweeper lost
and took her place along with the
battleship Royal Oak, the air
craft carrier Courageous, an un
named destroyer, the tug Northern
Rover and the submarine Oxeley.
sunk by accident, as a wartime
casualty. The Mastiff carried one
four-inch and two smaller guns.
She was launched Feb. 17, 1938.

England To Take
American Scrap Iron
NEW YORK, Nov. 21 A
record order for 850,000 tons of
scrap iron has been placed in
the United States for shipment to
England's war-burdened steel
mills, it was learned today in
trade circles. .
In addition, it was said, Italy
has bought around 150,000 tons
and Japan about 100,000.
At the current price of about
$21 a ton for heavy melting
scrap in the Pittsburgh area, the
tonnage would be valued at ap
proximately $23,000,000.
The British buying, trade cir
cles reported, was done in the
name of the British Iron and
Steel federation.
Dealers said England will pay
cash and supply the ships in ac
cordance with U. S. neutrality
laws. The scrap is destined to
move from Atlantic and gulf coast
ports in coming months.

Indian Independence YCVZ.
BOMBAY, Nov. 21. (IP) Mo
handas K. Gandhi, demanding a
pledge of India's independence as
the price of cooperation in the
European war, declared today, "the
issue is purely moral, for owing
to her material and military con
trol, Britain is able to regulate
garrisons and drain India's wealth
at will."
The wispy, 70-ycar-old Indian
nationalist leader, refreshed by his
invariable Monday period of sil

Complicating the situation is the
