Al Smith Urges Nation
To Support Roosevelt
On Neutrality Change
Coughlinites Picket Radio
Studio as New Deal
Critic Speaks
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 2.—Alfred E.
Smith, long one of the foremost
critics of the New Deal, called on
the Nation last night to "stand
solidly” behind President Roosevelt’s
fight to amend the Neutrality Act.
Praising the President’s program
for lifting the arms embargo to per
mit cash-and-carry sales of muni
tions and war supplies and to bar
American shipping from the war
zones, Mr. Smith told a radio audi
ence :
“He is so clearly right, so obviously
on the side of common sense and
sound judgment and of patriotism,
that only those who lack an under
standing of the issue will oppose
him.”
The speech was the first in which
Mr. Smith, the 1928 Democratic
presidential nominee, had publicly
supported a major administration
measure advanced by the man who
succeeded him as the standard
bearer of his party.
As he spoke. Columbia Broadcast
ing System offices were picketed by
20 supporters of the Rev. Charles E.
Coughlin, Detroit radio priest, carry
ing placards reading: “Al, Why Have
You Changed Your Color?” and “Al,
Are You Going With the Other
Crowd Now? Why?”
Only Way, He Says.
Mr. Smith said the only way to
keep America out of the present
European war was to bar American
ships and passengers from bellig
erent waters.
“Personal interests must be sub
ordinated to the common good,” he
continued. “We must be selfish, not
for ourselves but for the whole Na
“The present Neutrality Act does
not work. It has not met the test,
and in the coming state of world
affair?, it can’t possibly meet the
even more drastic strains of the fu
ture. It has been weighed in the
balance and found wanting.”
Mr. Smith declared it was the
sinking of American ships in Euro
pean waters that brought America
into the World War in 1917 and as
serted the present distinction under
which “war materials” are banned
but other supplies freely shipped was
“essentially the bunk."
The torpedoing of two Swedish
steamships was proof, he added,
that “The German government does
not recognize any difference be
tween the goods covered by the
American embargo and the goods
that are not covered by the em
bargo.”
“I believe that we should pre
vent the transportation in Amer
ican ships of any goods in any kind,
war goods or other goods, contra
band or non-contraband or any pas
sengers to the warring nations.
Uninterested in “Quibbling.”
Mr. Smith said he was not inter
ested personally in arguments for
a return to the principles of inter
national law since “there is no re
spect for international law at this
time.”
Similarly, he said, he took no stock
in “quibbling over constitutional
questions in connection with the
proposed substitute for the present
Neutrality Act. In a crisis there
is no time for legalistic hair-split
ting.
“They (the German government)
take the position—if I read the
papers aright—that everything
routed to the British Isles is contra
band of war and they put it upon
the ground that no belligerent can
afford to buy anything at the pres
ent time that is not absolutely
necessary to the prosecution of the
war.”
In the light of this, he continued,
those who oppose amendiiffe the act
take the position “Let them sink
the ships,” and those who advo
cate amendment take the position
“We will not let the ships go where
they can be sunk.”
Vandenberg Says Smith
'Ignored the Real Issue'
By the Associated Press.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan contended today that
Alfred E. Smith had "ignored the
real issue” in his radio address last
night supporting President Roose
velt’s proposal to repeal the arms
embargo.
In a telegram to the former Gov
ernor of New York, Senator Van
denberg said: a
"It seems to me your interesting j
broadcast entirely ignores the real j
issue. Granting the desirability of
additional safeguards to keep us out
of war, why do you want to elimi
nate the existing, safeguards of an
embargo on munitions? Why not
have both? Why is it necessary for
us to sell munitions to belligerents
in order to be safe? Why must we
strike down a great existing pro
tection in order to get new ones?
If our sole purpose is to Insulate
America it seems to me that only
those who lack an understanding
of the issue will insist upon putting
America back into the international
munitions game.”
Senator Vandenberg is a member
of the Senate group which is op
posing repeal of the embargo
against arms shipments to belliger
ents on the grounds such action
would lead this country eventually
into war.

Dancer Nijinsky, Recovering,
May Be Treated in U. S.
Renowned Russian
Emerging From
"Mental Twilight"
Ey the Associated Press.
ADELBODEN, Switzerland, Oct.
2.—In a hotel high in this Bernese
Alpine village a Iambus man who
does not know Europe is at war
again appeared today to be recover
ing slowly from the shock caused
by the last conflict. He is Vaslav
Nijinsky, whose name still is magic
in the world he left 20 years ago.
The renowned Russian imperial
ballet dancer was gripped by schizo
phrenia immediately after the World
War. Until a few months ago his
case was considered hopeless by the
world's greatest specialists. Now he
seems to be emerging gradually from
the "mental twilight” in which he
has dwelled for 20 years.
He no longer is in a sanatorium.
Instead he lives a comparatively
normal life in an ordinary hotel
with his wife and one attendant.
The Nijinsky Foundation in London
has decided to send him to the
United States, if possible, partly be
cause it is feared possible contact
with war may bring a recurrence
of the collapse he suffered in 1919.
The removal to United States also
would enable a continuation of the
treatment which seems to be bring
ing him recover}'.
Nijinsky became the outstanding
experiment of the “insulin shock”
treatment for schizophrenia. The
Viennese specialist. Dr. Manfred
Sackel, who administered the treat
ment now is in New York City. He
already has written a letter to
United States immigration officials
asking that Nijinsky be admitted to
the United States for a continuation

of the Insulin shocks under his direc
tion.
Nijinsky Is learning to form words
he had almost forgotten in years of
speaking only occasional phrases.
Deaths of friends, as well as that of
his mother, have not been told to
him.
Walking along the main street of
Adelboden, he was greeted today by
many villagers. Scores of men of
the village were back on temporary
leaves from the mobilized Swiss
Army, however, and Nijinsky
frowned sometimes as they passed
with guns in their hands.
If the dancer goes to the United
States It will be a return to the
country to which he was “loaned”
by Austria-Hungary as a World War
prisoner on parole and where he
scored many triumphs.
Four Washingtonians
Home After Fleeing
Europe's War Zones
Overcrowded Freight
Ship, Requisitioned by
Britain, Brought One
Four Washingtonians were home
today after fleeing European war
zones on overcrowded passenger and
freight ships.
Visiting relatives in England, Mrs.
Nellie P. Seater of 3218 Central
avenue N.E. arrived in New York
yesterday aboard the S. S. McKees
port, a small freighter requisitioned
by Great Britain to carry refugees
to America.
Her facilities taxed to the limit,
the McKeesport carried 50 passen
gers. In order to accommodate all
hands, Mrs. Seater said, the cargo
hold of the little ship was con
verted into sleeping quarters for the
men. Fourteen days were required
for the passage from Glasgow.
Not until they arrived safely In
New York did passengers discover
they had been sighted by an un
identified submarine. The second
day out a submarine poked its head
out of the sea, but disappeared
without making a hostile move.
During her nearly three weeks
of waiting for passage home, Mrs.
Seater visited London in one of its
early air-raid scares.
Their first trip abroad. Mr. and
Mrs. Robert L. Evans of 3512 Third
street north, Arlington, Va., arrived
Saturday in New York on the S. S.
Manhattan, which carried more than
600 passengers over its usual com
plement. The couple visited Eng
land and Scotland when war cut short
their plans to tour the continent.
Fortunately, Mrs. Evans said, they
had booked return passage while
still in Washington and had only to
wait for their boat.
Also on the Manhattan was Min
Constance Russell of Longview,
University Terrace N.W., who was
studying music in France.
After the first week Miss Russell
said she grew tired of the nightly
blackouts. At her hotel some one
became lax about dimming lights
and the next evening power was
turned off completely as punishment.
She went aboard the Manhattan
at Verdoon.

THE CHAIN FOOD STORE POLICY
A PUBLIC PLEDGE
to
PRODUCERS, CONSUMERS
AND GOVERNMENT

the public and acknowledging their especial obligation in these times of
disturbed conditions created by armed conflict abroad, pledge their full
cooperation toward maintaining efficient, low cost distribution of food
products.
The American Stores Company and Acme Markets join in this pledge
and wholeheartedly endorse the following statement of policies and prac
tices issued by the National Association of Food Chains:—
1 Food Chains will make a con
stant effort to improve facilities
and methods of food distribution,
now finest in the world, to insure
maintenance of the unequaled
standard of living enjoyed by the
American people.
2 Food Chains will continue their
endeavors to keep the cost of living
as low as possible through efficient

gent efforts to maintain at all times, j
adequate stocks of dependable \ \
quality food products. j
4 Food Chains will cooperate as

of helpfulness, offer their experi
ence and facilities, when and if
needed, to meet emergencies, and
