At the zero hour of this new phase of operations, 12:01 o'- clock this morning, it was the widely accepted view in author- itative quarters that the new assignment meant actual con- voy duty of United States naval vessels along a 2000 mile reach of the North At- lantic. In a companion move to ease Britain’s shipping burdens, Am- erican merchantmen were given explicit permission to carry arms and munitions to many parts of the vast British Empire. Official Ruling The State Department announced a ruling by Attorney General Francis Biddle which held that the President’s Neutrality Act proclamation at the outbreak of the European war did not bar American ships from transporting implements of war to any portion of the British Empire except the United Kingdom—the British Isles. “Combat Zones” India, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Union of South Af- rica areas were blocked by the Neutrality Act ‘“combat zones” clause. Effect'of the ruling was to clear the way for a flow of munitions and American ships to numerous [ British colonies and possessions, some of them in strategic proximi- ty to theatres of active operations and others of potential future im- portance. Meanwhile, administration lead- ers in the Senate, mulling over the whole broad question of the exist- ing Neutrality Act, reported they were undecided on how far they ‘Conunued on Page Eizht) BORDERWAR FLARES; U. §.
