The newspaper said President Roosevelt was considering a plan to aid Britain by sending convoys to the ports of neutral Eire.

(Karl Megerle, semi-official commentator for the German foreign office, said in an article yesterday in the Boersen Zeitung that Eire would remain in the blockade zone even if it were excluded by amendment from the danger zone specified in the American neutrality act.
