"Fantastic though it may seem," the North Carolinian as serted, "it is certainly -less fan tastic than some of the other startling surprises of the past several months which already are proved beyond any question. Russia profits "Whllo at tho moment most Americans believe that Germany sank the Athenia, there has not been published a shred of con crete evidence to prove this." "But In the absence of . con crete evidence." Reynolds con tinued, "there Is a much stronger circumstantial case against Rus sia than any other nation . i . . Let ns remember that the two principle enemies of Russia are Germany and Great Britain. What could be sweeter than to help shove them into a life and death struggle from which Russia could pick up tho profits with little or no cost to herself?' , Reynolds said that it the Rus sians did sink the Athenia "they must have chuckled with glee when they figured the entire world would blame It on their German ally and not on the Rus sians." ' The North Carolinian, who had not previously- announced his position on the administration neutrality bill, said that while he favored many of Its provisions he thought repeal of the arms embargo would be "unwise and dangerous." "I will be compelled," he add ed, "to follow what I conceive to he my obligation as a senator of tho united States fand not of Europe and the world) to vote against sucn repeal." Frencli.

By The Associated Fresa Soviet Russia, unsuccessful ne gotiator with Turkey, broke her silence today on tha Ankara pact with a declaration in the govern meat newspaper that Britain and France "drew Turkey into tha orbit of war." The newspaper Izrestla assert ed Russia herself had thwarted alleged plans to drive a wedge between the German-Russian partnership by falling to negotiate a parallel pact with Turkey. It warned that Turkey "as sumed such a responsibility which cannot but tell upon her policy in the very near future."
