PACK TWO The Week In Washington A Resume of Governmental Happenings in (he National Capiial Washirgt-n, May S--To convoy or not to convoy? Tliat. is the question ot paramount concern ht-re .Uo-Aing statements! on the subject h\ President K. >ose-1 velt. Secretary ': Navy K:.o>: and j Secretary o State Hull. At) it thi ir ; statements emphasised these points:! We are pledged to give all-out aid I to Britain. The people favor our stand as the "arsenal of democracy."' We can in)! let the billions of defense I materials we are producing be sent to the bottom of the ocean on their way to Britain. We must take any steps necessary to make certain that the lifelines to Britain are kept open. None of them specifically recommended convoys but all hinted that convoys might be necessary. The attitude of the President is to ir> to find some means short of convoys for getting supplies across the Atlantic. The general opinion is that short-of-convoys :s almost synony-1 mous with short-of-war. The congressional anti - convoy group, which is the anti-ivai group : headed by Senator Wheeler of Montana. has repeatedly tola the American people that convoys mean war. i Letters to congressmen as well as public opinion polls show that the majority of people will expect war if our navy is used for convoying supply ships. Aware of this feeling, the President is attempting to find a substitute for convoys which would still ; Everyone Knows 7 RL,? - ' v -<*\ p. tl* '. mg Why hesitaie over what to give your mother on Mother'c Day, when you know how pleased she'll be with a box oI creamy, luscious chocolates?

Will Avoid Vote P A recent poll of congressmen in- jjj dicated a slight majority are 7>?.v ? personally in favor of convoys, but jS it is expected that anv vote or the @ subject will bo avoided. A p. ant: -jf convoy resolution, which would tie "he hands of the government so far | as convoys are concerned, has been || ; side-tracked. Even those v. he favor I in felt that its passage would be too B | much encouragement u the Axis ^ Ipowers?that it is better to keep ! the threat of convoys even if we can avoid using them. A statement made by John D. is ; Rockefeller. Jr.. in which he asked jjj it he President to supply convoys has ri ; caused considerable stir here. Mr. x i Rockefeller said that lie hated war. w t ut "tor myself I wouiri rather die J fighting the brutal, barbarous ill humor, force represented by Hitler- bee jism than live in a world that is dus dominated by that force." He said that our production of supplies is D "valueless unless laid down at Brit- ing ain's door" and urged "prompt and par effective action" at any cost. Mr. hav Rockefeller, who has in the past S30. been bitterly opposed to the New tier: Deal administration, also urged "a united public opinion solidly behind the President." A 000.
