You are voting for absolutely nothing but to see that there is speedy delivery of the supplies to the nation you have, said ought to have the supplies with which to carry en the war, and you are acting to send our ships out upon the ocean which we have always regarded shall be free to our ships, as a measure of our security. In a brief reference to Russia, Knox said that nation "serves as a fearful example of the inability of a nation to remain neutral by Just wishinr to be neutral." "She not only ignored the Allies," he said, "but she entered into a friendly and co-operative pact with Germany, and even shared the loot of the Polish war with Germany." Hull said that the United States had an unquestioned right to arm its merchantmen.

He added that the Neutrality Act "did not remotely contemplate limiting the steps to be- taken by this country in self-defence," and that Germany is violating all laws by sinking defenceless merchant ships without warning or without allowing the passengers and crews a reasonable chance for their lives. "We are, therefore, confronted with a situation where a gigantic military machine has been thrown against peaceful peoples on land and on sea in a manner unprecedented in the annals of history," he said. "Submarines, armed raiders, and high-powered bombing planes are lniiicung deatn and destruction in a manner which would put to shame the most ruthless pirates of earlier days." Admiral Harold R. Stark, Chief of Naval Operations, informed the committee that one important rea son for arming merchant ships is to give them some defence against. air attack, which had become "vitally important" in this war.

"In an area where enemy aircraft may be expected." Stark explained, "lack of anti-aircraft weapons makes it possible for the aircraft to come down almost to the mastheads and drop bombs right on the ship." Stark said that with reference to submarines, the arming of merchant vessels would frequently force the subs to attack with tor- edoes, only a few of which can carried, whereas if the merchantmen are unarmed, the submarines can attack with impunity and sink them by the relatively cheaper and more accurate gunfire. JAPAN IS ADVISED MAKE EARLY PEACE (Continued from Page One.) this reason Japan is also sending ships to Europe, with which it does not propose to go to war. As for Americans in Japan, according to the present check-up 70 whites and 160 American-born Ja- Ganese propose to return to the hited States, while 300 whites and more than 2.000 American-born Ja panese propose to remain. These figures are exclusive of Government oixiciais. Most or the remaining white Americans are missionaries.

$2,578,186,766 CONTRACTS LET (Continued from Page One.) other Empire countries under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, general purchases and contracts amounting to $24,000,000 awarded by the Civil Aviation Division of the Department of Transport for airport construction and land purchase under the air training plan, totalled $1,530,290,087. Total of orders for stores placed on United Kingdom account was $751,872,000. United Kingdom commitments for plants and plant extensions, togetner with orders for the output of some of these plants, amounted to $215,789,000, an estimated figure including the United Kingdom's share in Joint projects. Contracts awarded on other account totalled $80,235,679. More than 180,000 contracts have been placed on Canadian account by the Department and Its predecessors, the Defence Purchasing Board, and the War Supply Board, the statement said.

These had an average value exceeding $8,300. "The average has been decreasing in 1941, however, owing partly to the large number of small contracts placed by the local purchasing offices," it added.

hoping to shake the confidence of the British in their friends as well as their government. Such a slant would account for the repeated references to the United States tonight. Similar intrusions might in future cast doubt on Britain's relations with Russia and the Allied fovernments now resident in Lon-on. It could be turned on the British war effort at home apart from the roles played by Mr. Churchill and his associates.

Hitler seems to be exhausting his strength striking against Russia. If that is true in the local tactical sense, if not in the broader strategical meaning, it follows nonetheless that he will welcome a respite during the coming months in order to recuperate his power to strike elsewhere or again and harder against Russia next year. The best method of gaining the lull he wants would be for him to beguile the British with thoughts of peace, it is argued. Such a campaign is given no chance of success as long as the people here are absorbed In the punishment being borne daily by the Russians and as long as Premier Churchill is at the helm. Christened 'von Donald' London, October 14.

(Tuesday) The latest international sport of heckling broadcasts of the warring powers had a new performer today and he was promptly christened "von Donald" for duck. The Daily Mail gave him the tag because his voice flattened out like the Disney hero's. Von Donald appeared on the British wavelengths with Axis propaganda inserts. The pioneer performer who has been heckling the Nazis is generally called "Ivan the Terrible" because the Interruptions are attributed to the Russians. The heckler of the Italian calls himself "La Voce del Popolo" "Voice of the People' and so far he has no nickname.

Unlike the other hecklers, however, his remarks are always serious and he refrains from wisecracks. One for Italians, Too Cairo, October 13. (IP) A radio heckler calling himself "La Voce del Populo" The Voice of the People broke into a Rome broadcast of "The Barber of Seville" tonight and berated Mussolini "for selling out Italy to Hitler." His technique is different from that of "Ivan the Terrible" for while Ivan, apparently a Russian, breaks into German broadcasts with taunts, "La Voce del Populo" cuts in to discuss what he calls the "true feelings of Italian people." D.S.

Chairman Emory S.

Land of the Maritime Commission, who would have Jurisdiction over the armed ships, testified that one of the Government's greatest difficulties at present in transporting lend-lease supplies lies in obtaining "proper crews for unarmed "The proposed legislation will go far to solve this vital problem," the retired rear admiral said. Knox pointed out that under the Neutrality Act, the United States, which he called "the greatest neutral country in the world," is unable to send its ships to neutral Eire. "I do not know how it may affect others," he said, "but to me it is a tremendously humiliating thing that the greatest and most powerful neu- irai country in tne world has resorted to the device of sending its ships to sea under the flag of little Panama, one of our neighboring states which posses no power what ever to enforce respect for its colors. "Is it not time for us to be realistic about this thing? Why not take from the books a etatute which lends to such palpable subterfuge?" The prepared statements of the witnesses were made public, but they were questioned by committee members behind closed doors, a procedure which evoked sharn criticism from the Republican mem bers, two or the latter Representatives Hamilton Fish of New York and George Tinkham of Massachu setts absented themselves from the nearing in protest. Knox said he had been opposed to the Neutrality Act from the start, and that if the committee voted to repeal it entirely "you are not voting to attack Germany." "xou are not voting to send an army, or air force, or the navv to attack Germany," he continued.

Montreal SvOTE FOR CHAMBERLAIN DAILY CROSS-WORD (Continued from Page One.) ten to the BBC: we don't want that national Government." The comments came faster when the program ended and news bulletin were broadcast at nine o'clock over the home and forces networks. Aften the voice scemsxl very faint and then again it would pick up clearly, this reception varying in different parts of the country. First It was believed the scheduled program had gone awry or that two broadcasts were overlapping, but as the flow of Interruptions continued and their context became unmistakable it was certain that Britain at last was being subjected to the nuisance of an enemy radio "ghost." Before fettling down to twist the news the mysterious voice Interjected sweeping statements whenever a pause occurred in the broadcast to British women who are wearing the uniforms of the fighting services.

"Do you know how much money Churchill Is being paid by Jews?" wn one. Another was: "Has Churchill played fair with you?" This was Immediately followed up with: "We are being swindled and led up the garden path and sold to America." More in the same vein soon fell on the astonished public, which for months has enjoyed talcs of how Berlin broadcasts have been bedevilled by a "ghost" thought to be Kwslan and affectionately called here "lvnn the Terrible." "We don't want an American government. We want a people's government," was the next unscheduled pronouncement over the air. When a woman Interviewer fully accredited by the BBC asked her guest for the night: "How do you like the the unknown man chipped in: "Nasty, rotten, horrible. You wait until you get some of German ggs on you." Another time he said bluntly: "Remember Churchill lost you your Empire.

It is your duty to throw out Churchill." Applying the heckling technique used on German broadcasts, tonight's "voice" really got busy during the news period. The Germans are keeping up the pressure in Uie Ukraine, said the British announcer, and on the heels of his words was uttered: "Wait till tomorrow." Sticking at his task, the an nouncer wild the German communl nue reported the Russians doomed to destruction "So they are," added tne -gnost." JEERS AT R.AJ. RAIDS The Royal Air Force was said to have made a big offensive sweep over France "and Hot shot down." There was a raid over Germany and fires were started, continued the Britisher "that" what you say," was the comment. Laughter was heard in the background whenever the kibitzer scored what he considered a good wisecrack at the expense of the British. For example the BBC announcer -aid that air raid casualties were small last night and his nemesis tagged this good news with the threat "you wait till next time." There have Just arrived in Brit ain men of a Newfoundland con- ttneent.

the British nubuc was told by the BBC and startled with the unexpected afterthought coming over the airwaves: 'Toor fellows." When the BBC man wound up with the routine phrase "that is the end of the news, the "ghost" said than Ciodl" after the voice started the BBC acknowledged the presence of the enemy on the air by telling its listeners: "If you are hearing in terruptions in tne forces' program, particularly during short intervals. you may take It that these are due to direct interruptions by tne enemy. An hour later this was given in greater detail thus: "if you are listening to tne home program on 449 or 391 metres you may have heard a good deal or interference. This is due to action by enemy transmitters." There was no trace of the voice in the home news service at midnight. The programs for the forces ended at 10:50.

Throughout the evening the public was warned periodically of what they might expect. The BBC defined the heckling as an experiment on the part of the enemy. So far the BBC has refrained from gate-crashing on enemy programs from German stations but it was not said what the policy will be In future It Is said the BBC has powerful equipment for reprisal broadcasts. HINT PEACE OFFENSIVE. Tonight's events have led some to believe that Germany may be launching a new peace offensive.

Hitler made a great point in his recent speech that peace would not be possible so long as the Churchill government remained In power, and it is felt the "ghost" voice may hope to Insinuate In the mind of the British people the thought of changing their leaders. That speech of Hitler's by the way. was the one most interrupted by "Ivan the Terrible."
