Leaders Plan Amendment
To Relax Restrictions
On U.S. Merchant Ships
Revisionists Hope
To Shorten Debate
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-(A)-To
strengthen their position in the fight
for repeal of, the arms embargo, Ad-
ministration leaders consented today
to strip the neutrality bill of its pro-
visions permitting 90-day credits to
belligerent governments.
In addition, the leadership indicat-
ed strongly that it soon would be
ready with an amendment intended
to relax the measure's severe restric-
tions on the wartime operations of'
American merchant ships.
Tactical Maneuver Involved
Separately, or in combination, these
concessions involved a tactical ma-
neuver of much significance in the
present controversy. A number of
Senators who favor repealing the em-
bargo are strongly opposed to the
credit and shipping provisions of the
bill. By meeting their criticisms, the
leadership felt that it could nail
down their votes on the more im-
portant embargo question.
Then, too,, the leaders hoped that
by reducing the points of contro-
versy contained in the bill, much
time-consuming debate might be
avoided and a final vote correspond-

ii
Prof essor. Says Proposal
Is Important. Although
Success IsUnlikely
JBy WILLIAM NEWTON
The United States should make
peace proposals at once to the nations
engaged :in the Second World War,
Prof. Preston W. Slosson, of the his-
tory department, said yesterday.
While the prospects for an imm=-.
diate peace are "nil," Professor 8los-{
son continued, we should make the
proposals to show definitely how we
feel about the war and to make what
may prove to be a rallying point when,
both sides have become worn-out. It

is important that we show the world
today "what our government feels to
be the terms of a permanent peace
which is just and can be enforced, he
said.
Plan Must Reestablish Poland
A peace plan which would be con-
sidered by France and England would
have to contain a clause reestablish-
ing the independence of Poland-
something which is absolutely con-
trary to German aims, he said. It
is foolish, Professor Slosson explained,
fto think of Germany's abandoning
as easy a conquest as Poland. It is
equallyr foolish, he pointed out, to
think of England and France ever
renouncing their war aims and grant-
ing a 'German victory.
"Despite the fact that I can see no
chance for an immediate end to host-
tilities, President Roosevelt should
offer to act as mediator for the war-
ring powers and present them with a
plan which seems to be a lead, to
lasting peace," said Professor Slosson.
This plan would have to contain
guarantees that peace would and
could be maintained, he went on,
regardless of the aims and ambitions
of any nation or group of nations.
Would Limit Armaments
The ideal peace proposal, he said,
would contain a clause which empha-
sized limitations of armaments and
periodic- inspections to ensure their
permanent limitation. This would not
only keep armies and naVies small,
but it would prevent ill feeling from
developing between nations because
of suspicions of breach of faith, he
pointed out.
Compulsory arbitration of all in-
ternational disputes, Profesor Slos-
son continued, must be put into effect
if any peace is to be lasting. This

Troops Launch Onslaught
Establishing First Hold
On French Territory'
Counter-Attack Stops
Sweep, Paris Reports
By TAYLOR HENRY
PARIS, Oct. 16.-(P)-Waves oft
Nazi troops in field gray today1
launched a long-awaited attack int
force against French positions on the
northern flank of the Western Front,
drove the French out of German ter-1
ritory at one point and, although7
thrown back, still held a precarioust
foothold on French soil for the first
time since the European war began.,
A French communique acknowl-
edged tonight that the Germans'
fought their way into the Frencht
village of Apach before they were
thrown back by .a French counter]
attack.1
The fighting lasted all day and as
night fell the Germans apparently
still were holding the heights of
Schneeberg north of Apach on wes-
tern slopes that reach into France.
The 9:05 p.m. (3:05 p.m. EST)
communique of the French High
Command said merely that the Ger-
mais had withdrawn "to the north
of ~Apach" after penetrating the vil-
lage.
Although the German attack cov-
ered a front of four miles, the main
force of the blow was delivered at
the junction of the French-German-
Luxembourg frontiers on the extreme
northern flank of the Western Front.
Here the French established posi-
tions during the first month of the
war to: prevent the Germans from
driving through neutral Luxem-
bourg territory to out-flank the whole
French front.
Since the French had been holding
advance positions some two miles in-
side German territory at this point,
it appeared to military observers here
that today's German attack obviously
had driven the French back that dis-
tance.
Scripts For JGP
Must Be In Oct.28
The deadline for scripts for the
1940 Junior Girls' Play has been ex-
tended to Saturday, Oct. 28, Lee
Hardy, '41, publicity chairman, an-
nounced yesterday.
Scripts may be written by anyone,
whether or not they are connected
with the University, and the author
of the accepted script will be paid,
unless he is a member of the junior
class.
Collegiate themes are not usually
successful, but the musical comedy
motif is good, and those who are
writing scripts should remember that
it must be adaptable to production
in Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. It
should also include a large cast to
allow a large part of the junior
class to participate.

ShowT onight
'The University Band will present
its fourth annual Varsity radio show
tonight at 8 p.m. at Hill Auditorium
before an expected audience of more
than 5,000 persons.
Prof. Revelli, director of the band,
predicted that the program would be
the best ever presented by the band.
In addition to a sparkling array of
talent, the sponsors have succeeded
in securing Ty Tyson and Harry Wis-
mer, two of Detroit's ace sports com-
mentators, to provide a little variety,
Wismer handling a "man-in-the-au-
dience" -bit and Tyson relating some
of the morenexciting adventures of
his colorful career. Highlight of the
program will be the special arrange-
mpnt of "Over The Rainbow," in
which the band will serve as a glee
club, with Warren Foster, regular
tenor of the University Quartet,
featured as soloist.
Prof. John L. Brumm of the jour-
nalism -department will direct two
quiz programs with students acting as
recipients of his queries.

Protracted Negotiations
Bring No Settlement
By WITT HANCOCK
MOSCOW, Oct. 16.-(P)--The pro-
tracted diplomatic negotiations be-
tween Russia and Turkey kept up
yesterday but no inkling of conclu-
sive results was forthcor.iing from
the Kremlin.
Sukru Saracoglu, the Turkish For-
eign Minister, consulted for two
hours with Russian officials and
there was no official announcement'
on what had occurred.
The two countries had been re-
liably reported several days ago to
have agreed on some sort of a pact.
The Tuirkish Embassy declined to,
state when Saracoglu would leave
here but admitted the possibility he
might remain to confer with the Tur-
kish Minister of Agriculture, Erke-
men Muhliss, now en route to Mos+-
cow, ostensibly to see an agrictiltural
exhibition in progress here.

Peace Resolution And Election
Sipping the national Finnish drink,
coffee, 25 University students of
Finnish descent gathered at the first
meeting of the Suomi 'Club Sunday
night at Lane Hall to discuss the
Finni-Russian situation and to elect
new officers for the semester.
The discussion brought out two
opinions expressed by the group.
One, that their first loyalty was due
the United States. Two, that Fin-
land had little chance against Russia
in a military conflict.

Looming on the "horizon for the
Student Senate are two important
campus functions, one traditional,
and the other in line with the appar-

to keep out of World War IL.
The first is the semi-annual sena-

of elections. The date for the elec-

According to Martin B. Dworkis,
'40, acting president, pending action
of several collegiate coordinating
agencies in requesting the stand of
the Michigan student body on the
foreign situation and its bearing on
the United States, he has submitted
the following resolution for action
at the Senate's next meeting this
Thursday.

Student Senate, like the great ma-
jority of the American people, are of
the opinion that there is no more ur-

The robbery was carried out be-

By HOWARD A. GOLDMAN
Turkey's support and friendship in
the "present international situation
will go to the highest bidder for her
services, Dr. John W. Stanton of the'
history department declared yester-
day..
Although Moscow is the present
scene of important Turkish negotia-
tions, Dr. Stanton observed, it must
be remembered that the Turkish
diplomatic mission to London has re-
mained there since concluding the
pact guaranteeing to Britain that the
Dardanelles would be kept open in
wartime.
The western powers need Turkish
friendship most, Dr. Stanton com-
Dr. Stanton pointed out other con-
siderations tending to drive Turkey
into an alliance with the western
powers. Fear of German domination
of the eastern Balkan states, menac-
ing Turkish territory is one consid-
eration, he said. Great pressure on
the Chamberlain government by
English oil interests in Rumania are
responsible for attractive British
loans to Turkey, he added. (By keep-
ing the Dardanelles open, Turkey
could facilitate British aid to Ruma-
nia in case of attack.) Another point,
Dr. Stanton observed, is the late dic-
tator Mustapha Kemal's conviction
that Turkey had supported the wrong
side during the World War.
