Full United Preia No. 174. m tom mmm w raw , , .. j. : ; r - By Paul Million Copyright. 1939, by Paul Millon. WASHINGTON, Oct. la. President Roosevelt's rabbit's foot has not been lost. Apparently it was only mis placed. - The rediscovery la claimed by top U. S. diplomats hero who are still chuckling be cause they were able to wriggle out or the trou blesome t r a d l tlonai American policy of freedom of the seas, and establish, within forty-eight hours, a wholly new for e 1 g n neutrality nnitrv. without arousing any I'.M'L MAIXON atrong adverse criticism. The Inside mechanics of how It was done Indicates that at' least a good part of It was plain Roosevelt luck. Here Is how: " The preeldent'a San Diego speech was prepared several days In advance. Burled near tho end was the appar ently unimportant sentence: "The U. 8. shall and must remain, as long ago tho rather or our country prayed It might remain, unentangled and free." These words have not been news lnce George Washington Hrat uttered them. .but, at the very'moment the president was repeating them, war broke In Ethiopia. George's words became the U. S. answer to war. This dramatized them and helped to cause a reaction through the country which " was not entirely eicpooted. Back to the state department came word that applause swept through movie houses In cities throughout the country when the president's "unen tangled and rree" words were uttered. Press reaction also has been almost entirely favorable to any reasible method of keeping us out of war. Everyone here could see the time was ripe ror something more than the mere arms embargo which had been planned. 'It Is an open secret that Messrs. -nrwwivf.it and Hull have been nrl- Tately ravorable to the British policy from the start. They did not know how rar they could go, however, until they hesrd the reaction from the San Dieeo Incident, i - -' Hull began to get detailed reports Immediately from Geneva. He sent aides to the press room to get all news dispatches. Everyone heard as soon as he did that the league council had been called to meet, but no one else got the private tip he received that the council planned sanctions against Italy which were voted a week later. It was this news which put him on the radio to the Houston. For six ' hours, the text of suggested presiden tial statements went back and torth, for correcttona and additions. News men waiting around could not under stand why It required so long to pre pare an arms embargo statement. They round out at 11:30 p. m., that (Saturday night, when the presidential announcement or a new law of the seas was made. SUt - department diplomats are keeping It to themselves, but they slao contend they have slipped one over on congress in the new neutral ity act. Congress Insisted that any presidential arms embargo must be proclaimed against all belligerents. Congress did not want this country taking sides. Messrs. Roosevelt and Hull fought for discretionary powers, but failed. However, they succeeded In getting one little word, "may". In the act. It said that the president, havin? once proclaimed an embargo against warring nations, may extend the em bargo tn other nations which become involved. Departmental lawyers are prepared to Interpret that as meaning the president could refrain from Imposing an embargo on Britain or France, in case they are drawn Into the truggle. An apparent weakness of Mr. Roose velt's arms embargo Is that It Is con fined to actual Implements of war. It does not include raw materials such as cotton. coppeT and wheat. Tot the president to embargo such materials might easily get him Into serious trouble with the farmers. He stde tnrM the Issue by telling them they may sell to Italy, but "at their own risk." All Insiders realize what this will mean If the league sanctions against Italy Include a blockade of Italian ports. The risk will suddenly become too Brest. The embargo will assume an entirely different potency. . There are those here who never overlook the practical Hoy For in stance, a state department official a already figured It out that tr.e ww deal will more than mse up in r.-o votes whstever It may lee tn ItU;n votes from its new poll":" '1 -tef- ! auprvwd to be about t1 m'Li-.i Ualien voter., seven nui-.-o ocrw- FOREIGN TRADE IS LEAGUEOBJECTIVE Hope to Force.
