mn at nAsimwi By Hugo S. Slats, Waahington Correspondent War Iff The Atlantic jU. S. To De liver "Goods." Asserts FaU Rights. Standing squarely upon the time honored American doctrine of the 'freedom of the seas" and imple menting the recent national policy enunciated by .Congress to aid the enemies of hitler, the United States has given an unmistakable reply to recent Nazi attacks upon American ships. SeqptarjFgiCiyK revealed to the American Legion convention that or ders have been issued to the Navy "to capture or destroy" Axis-controlled submarines or raiders encountered in position to prevent "ships of every flag" from carrying lend-aid sup plies between the American contin ent and the waters adjacent to Ice-' land. Almost as important is the legal, ruling that American merchant ships, manned by American crews, are not prohibited from carrying munitions and other articles of war to such key British points as Hong King, Burma and the Suez. Attorney-General Biddle, in an opinion on the Neu trality Act, holds that Eire and all but five British overseas possessions are excluded from the terms cf the Neutrality Act and from President Roosevelt's proclamation declaring a state of war to exist between Britain and Germany. Of course, the prohibitions of the Neutrality Act continue to apply to India, Australia, Canada, New Zea land and the Union of South Africa. o) o) miles a year traveled by motorists J. II.

Eire, not considered a part of the United Kingdom, is nevertheless in the combat areas pro claimed by the President and ship ments are therefore unauthorized. This likewise applies to Mediter ranean ports in the combat zone. The way is thus paved for American-flag vessels to carry war sup plies to the far-flung', parts of the British Empire. It is expected to relieve' some of the"4 strain on the British and Allied merchant ma rines. It is in accordance with the President's positive insistence upon the "freedom of the seas." Instructions to naval officers, as officially revealed, make it perfectly plain that the full power of the United States will be used to keep open the route for ships carrying war supplies as far as the waters of Ice land. Neither Germany nor Italy can complain of any uncertainty. Under the Lend-Lease Act, the United States became the theoretical "arsenal of democracy,?' and now, by the broad assertion of our rights under Intefnational Law, we demon strate a fixed determination to de liver the goods. No American citizen should de lude himself as to the gravity of the step taken. Face to face with Ger man aggression, plainly directed against our vessels, the United States had to make a choice between pulling down its flag or asserting its rights.

No Peace Appears. Japs Demand New Order. Outlook Is Uncertain. The idea that the "peace message," sent to President Roosevelt by Pre miere Prince Konoye, of Japan, in augurated a new era in the relation ship between the United States and Japan should not be accepted with out further confirmation. It is generally recognized, however, that Japan's "immutable policy"1 is now being subjected to violent stress es and strains under the, impact of American economic policies, the strengthening of British forces in the Far East, Russia's surprising de fense against Germany and firmness in the Far East and certain arrange ments being made in and around the Netherlands East Indies and the Philippine Islands. It would be a mistaKe ia the first instance to underestimate the se rious dilemma in which Tokyo states men find themselves. After pro claiming for years their firm deter mination to establish a "Nw Order" in East Asia, the Japanese Govern ment, together with Army and Navy leaders, have whipped up war senti ment in Japan. Tokyo statesmen have not hesitat ed to fan the fires of belligerency, speaking glibly of the expulsion of the Westerners from the East and counting firmly upon the positive support of a victorious Germany and Italy in Europe. Now that the situ ation has developed into a crisis, the Japanese discover that the odds against them are almost insurmount able. Their Axis partners are far away and unable to give them as sistance. Drastic economic sanctions by the United States and a firm policy of assisting China have convinced Tok yo that the United States has defin itely abandoned their appeasement policy. The British, despite their occupation in Europe, are ready to fight to the end for Singapore. Rus sian bombers, known to be at Vladi vostok, can easily reach the heart of Japan proper. Just what ultimate course the Japanese will follow remains uncer tain, largely because of the contra dictory voices presuming to speak for Japan. A governmental crisis was avoided by calling upon the Em peror to take charge of the Empire's affairs but this could be a move to ward war, as well as a move toward peace. The Japanese Foreign Minister re cently spoke on the anniversary of the recognition of Manchukuo, the Japanese Puppet state set up. as a result of the "Manchurian Incident," on September 18, 1931. In this pub lic utterance, this important Japan ese official reiterated the determina tion of his country to establish its "New Order" and pointed to Man chukuo as an example of what the New Order meant. He frankly stressed the fact that Japan is confronted with a "super emergency unprecedented in the an nals of her history," but carefully refrained from saying anything that would indicate the startling reversal of Japanese policies which must be the prelude to peace in the Pacific, Legion's Strong Stand. For Defeat Of Hitler. Abandon Isolationism. The American Legion, an organiza tion devoted to 100 per cent Ameri canism, and boasting more than a million soldiers, sailors, marines and coast-guardsmen as members, has been at times something of a non intervention and isolationist group.

"This was considered tantamount to a declaration of sup port Of the President's foreign poli cies. '' ::V ;.(. The Legion favored repeal of tne Neutrality Act, which bars U. S. ships from war zones, the lifting of geographical limitations on the use of American troops in line with the request of the Army High Command, the establishment of naval bases in the Philippines, Iceland and other key islands in the Atlantic and Pa cific oceans, universal military train ing and refused to approve a report opposing lend-lease aid to Russia.
