Returning from several days in
Oregon, Senator Rufus C. Hoi
man reports that officials are
asking what they can do to aid
national defense and that com
plaint is made because congress
Is so slow.
"I thought we were pretty
speedy in congress," says Hol
man, "we voted in excess of
five billion dollars for defense
alone in a matter of a few
weeks. We have rushed to en
actment all legislation requested
for defense. I don't know what
more we can do in the way of
speed."
"Anyone suggesting that we
go to war?" inquired Senator
McNary.
"Well, the older ones are for
it but the younger ones are not",
replied Holman.
People interested in the na
tional guard are inquiring why
the delay in ordering the citi
zen soldiers mobilized. The peo
ple of Oregon, observed Holman,
are restless, they want action,
armories or something.

Voting the money is only the
initial step. Since July 1 the war

worth of equipment and from
18 months to three years will
be required to fill these orders.
Time is required for plant ex
pansion, for new plants to be

to be laid before actual produc

Cairo, Egypt, July 6. VP)
The French fleet in Alexandria
was stated tonight to have been
demobilized without difficulty.
Col. Salisbury Jones, until
lately chief British liaison offi
cer in Syria, said in a broad
cast at Cairo that thanks to the
bonds of friendship formed be
tween the British and French
crews the demobilization of
the French fleet in Alexandria
has been carried out without
difficulty in a spirit of com
plete understanding.
f London, Sunday, July 7. (P)
--German planes flew in relays
over a northeastern area of
England early today after an
undetermined number of civil
ians had been killed in two
German air raids late yester
day.
Driven To S
Several of the latest waves of
raiders were spotted by search
lights, and anti-aircrnft fire
drove them back seaward.
Meanwhile, British warplanes
hammered a double blow at
Italian and French seapower In
far-ranging attacks.
At home, she enrolled an
other 300,000 men in her con
stantly expanding armed man
power, poised now for invasion.
"Successful action" by naval
and royal air force planes
against Italian warships in Tob
ruk .Libya, was announced by
the admiralty.
It said other units of the
fleet air arm also had raided
an airdrome at Catania, Sicily,
leaving hangars and workshops
in flaming ruins.
Naval mop-up planes made
sure that the damaged French
battleship Dunkerque was out
of the war for good.
Shell Grounded Warship
They revisited Oran, Algiers,
where the British attack on the
French fleet Wednesday crip
pled the Dunkerque and forced
her aground, and scored six
bomb hits on the 26,500-ton
dreadnaught.
"It was considered essential,"
the admiralty explained, "that
the ship should be in no con
dition to take part in the war
in case she should fall under
enemy control
The planes attacked without
warning because the French
commander had declared his
ships hors de combat and said
they were to be abandoned, a
communique disclosed. But its
report that two British craft , vances. Only the wind prevent
failed to return indicated that!ed it from reaching rich Hood

Call Up Reserves
Dipping into her reservoir of

ed her 1909 class 30-year-1
olds and before the end of the
month three more groups will
have registered, the 1908 class
next Saturday, the 1907 class I
a week later and the 1906 class
two weeks later.
Potentially, this is an army
of 4,000,000 men which Britain
expects will be stronger than
the Maginot line which failed
France.
Hitler May Wait
Some Britons say Hitler Is
bound to strike quickly prob
ably In a week or two. They
reason that at the rate Britain
is fortifying he must know his
chance for success dwindles
with each passing day.
But some others hold that
Germany may wait. They con
tend that nazidom already has

British gestures of friendship

by a neutral source today In

Concessions which Britain Is
prepared to make, this source
said, would be limited only by
a desire to avoid alienating
opinion In the United States.

said, that the United States
would regard "diplomatic ca

East with a cold eye because

inning, walking two men, and
cut loose with a wild pitch that
allowed a runner to score.

Red Sox and was highly effec
tive after the first Inning, when
the Craters pounded four runs
over the plate on a walk. Cook's
triple, Wray's single, Peterson's
triple and McLean's single.
Lanning, who was far from
his usual form, possibly because
of his injured finger, gava up
two tallies in the second on
singles by Whitman, Moe and
Kirsch and an infield out. The
Sox tied the score at 4-all in
the fourth on McDonald's error,
a sacrifice by Wattier, Kirsch's
single and Cody's triple to the
scoreboard.

AS KEY TO PEACE
President Suggests Nations
Decide Territory Problems
In Own Spheres Backs
Secretary Hull.
Hyde Park, N. Y, July 8-
(JP) President Roosevelt sug
gested today that Europe and
Asia apply the principles of the
Monroe doctrine as a means of
reaching agreement on the dis
position of possessions of con
quered nations.
He took the position Euro
pean, Asiatic and American
nations should get together In
their respective spheres and
settle problems involving ter
ritorial possessions among them
selves, instead of allowing a
conquering power to make the
decisions.
The president relayed hit
views to reporters through his
secretary. Stephen Early, fol
lowing a 30-minute talk with
Secretary Hull last night on
the Implications of the exchange
of notes, involving the interpre
tation of the Monroe doctrine.
between Germany and the Unit
ed States.
Backing up Hull's pronounce
ment that the United States
would continue to enforce the
doctrine, Mr. Roosevelt let It
be . known - through Early -that
should Germany lay claim to
any French, British, or Dutch
possessions in this hemisphere,
the United States would make
no effort to take them over.
Rather, all the American na
tions would be asked to decide
whether they should be placed
under a mandate ' or held in
trust in some manner until they
could be returned to their pres
ent owners, .
The president thought Euro
pean and Asiatic nations should
make similar Joint arrange
ments. A reporter told Early that.
in a note delivered to the state
department yesterday, Germany
apparently had taken a parallel
suna Dy stating that the Monroe
doctrine's principle of non-inter-
terence could be legauy valid
only if Americans did not inter
fere in Europe.
Early replied that he waa
speaking of physical tranafcra
of ownership of territories, and
that as he understood it. the
German note dealt with political
Interference.
"In other words," he said.
"the Washington and Berlin gov
ernments do not seem to be in
agreement on the interpretation
of the Monroe doctrine."
