British Declare Increasing Losses Require Protection
WASHINGTON, May 8 —
(U.P.)—British officials and American non-interventionists engaged in a sharp dispute over British shipping losses tonight as the United States moved toward a showdown on the convoy issue.
Intensifying the situation were reports confirmed by New York maritime circles that the British liner Ixion and the Norwegian freighter Eastern Star had been torpedoed 150 miles east of the southern tip ol Greenland.
WITHIN NEUTRALITY ZONE
Thit, is well within President Roosevelt's newly defined neutrality patrol zone which is said to extend at least 2000 miles out into the Atlantic.
Non-interventionists, vigorously resisting proposals that the U. S. navy convoy British war consignments, supported their position with figures tending to show a low rate of sinkings of British ships carrying American war cargoes.
Official British circles countered with a report that the April toll alone in the battle of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean would be close to 500.000 tons.

There was no immediate ad- | ministration reaction to the Ixion j and Eastern Star reports. ADMINISTRATION QUIET
It was anticipated, however, that pfbximity of the sinkings to Greenland—where Mr. Roosevelt
I
had reported secret German operations—would strengthen the president’s determination to build a ‘bridge of ships” to Britain and guard them with naval vessels.
Thc non-interventionist bloc seized on Land's testimony to buttress their anti-convoy arguments. Committee Chairman Josiah W. Bailey said, however, that Land also stood by his recent statement that total Briish shipping losses were at the rate of 5,000.000 tons a year.
Brothers Discuss Pharmacy, Draft Before Students

Nazi U-Boats Blast British
BERLIN, May 8—(IT.P)—<German submarines and bombers have sunk an additional 40.950 tons of enemy shipping and seriously damaged another 20.000 tons, Nazi informants claimed today in describing heavy attacks on Britain's ports and Atlantic and Mediterranean lifelines.
The high command said Nazi U-boats had reported 29.950 tons of ships sent to the bottom in the north Atlantic. The official DNB news agency said bombers sank a 5,000-ton British merchantman in English waters yesterday and that Stuka bombers had so badly damaged two ships totalling 6000 tons in Tobruk harbor that their ‘ total loss could be assumed.”
DAMAGE SHIPS
A 12.000-ton merchantman and two other caigo ships totaling 8000 tons were said to have been badly damaged in an attack on a British convoy west of New Quay, Wales.
DNB said that five British spitfires were shot down in air fighting Thursday. One of these, the agency said, was destroyed when it tried to attack German rescue planes at work in the channel. The agency said no Nazi planes were lost during the day.
IGNITE LOADING ZONES
The high command said that “strong formations” of bombers set fire to loadinig facilities in the harbors of Liverpool and Hull while other German planes attacked Hartlepool, Bristol, Middlesbour-ougii, Plymouth, Manchester and

Harley Fears U. S. Convoys to Bring War
Professor Asserts Dissatisfaction Greatest in East
After convoys, there will be war.
This belief was expressed by Dr. J. Eugene Harley, professor of political science, at an International Relations club luncheon yesterday.
Dr. Harley recently returned from the annual meeting of the American Society of International Law in Washington.
EAST MORE FEARFUL
Giving his impressions of that meeting, the SC scholar declared that the sentiments for war are much stronger in the east than out here.
Together with Judge Hudson, who had served on the Hague court for over 20 years, Dr. Harley advanced a plea for the league of nations, which in both men's opinion should be preserved and after the war strengthened and made more effective.
He talked to a number of people in Washington, he said. Senator Sheridan Downing of California gave him an entrance ticket to the senate chamoer.
DEFINES DEMOCRACY
Professor Max Lerner of Williams college, who was asked by one of the members of the meeting to define democracy, replied it was “liberty plus groceries. Dr. Harley told an amused audience.
When witnessing the disorderly conduct of business in the senate, the speaker said he came to think of the story of the little boy, who asked his father why the chaplain was praying for the senators before they started their day's program.
“He is not praying for the senators, son; he is praying for our country,” replied his father.
