the President asked Congress to.
repeal Section 6 of the Neutrality j
Act which prohibits arming of
American merchant ships and to
examine other phases of the law.
The President said this action j
"is a matter of immediate necessi-
I
ty anu extreme urgency..."
The President said conditions?
have changed since enactment 01
the .»v, it is no lcnger truly a (
neutiality measure. He said "it
is tnieime for this country to stop
playing into Hitler's hands and to
unshakle our own." He said the
U. S. shoulH not "be forced to
masquerade American - owned
ships behind the flags of our sis
ter Republics." ,|T
"Moat of the vital goods author
feed by tha Congress are being de
livered," Mr. Roosevelt said. "Y«t
nany of thaat are being sunk; and
as we approach full production

percent in the comparable Worl
War period and farm products

trasted to 12.6 percent during the
last war. "
Price Administrator Henderson,
speaking in support of the pend
ing price regulating legisla
tion, said "even more frightening
than the present level of price
advances is the fact that these
advances have been gathering
momentum since the early months
of the year." He said the coat of
living last August was 7 1-2 per
cent, higher than two years ago.
Since March alone, he said, the
