Probing Charge Germans Misused 'American Flag Seeks Full Data on Statement by Head of Norwegian Parliament By the Associated Press. Undersecretary of State Welles and his associates pressed an inves- tigation today into the first official charge of misuse of the American flag in the European war. They were striving to assemble full information on the statement Sunday of C. J. Hambro, president of the Norwegian Parliament, that a Norwegian pilot had sworn the German supply ship, Jan Wellem, which he piloted into Narvik, Nor- way, flew an American flag and had American flags painted on her sides to disguise her true nationality. Mr. Welles, Acting Secretary in the absence of Secretary of State Hull, said at p press canference that | he had requested an immediate re- |port on the alleged incident from American representatives in Scandi- navia, but had not yet received a re- ply. | A Neutrality Act provision would become operative if the assertion of the Norwegian leader should be proved true, but officials were still at a loss as to how it could be ap- plied. The act makes it unlawful “for any vessel belonging to or op- erating under the jurisdiction o(‘ any foreign state to use the flag of | | the United States thereon, or to| | make use of any distinctive signs | or markings, indicating that the | same is an American vessel.” | _That is explicit enough for officials. | But the punishment provided by | the Neutrality Act is not easy. Itl | says, “Any vessel violating the pro- | | visions of this section shall be de- | nied for a period of three months |dhe right to enter the ports or ter- | ritorial waters of the United States | except in cases of force majeure | (emergency).” But under this provision, the Jan ‘Wellem, or any other belligerent ship, presumably might fly the American flag indefinitely if it kept ! i out of American waters. H The only recourse would be a| diplomatic protest against the mis- use of the American flag, if misuse | is proved: Soviet-British Trade Discussions Disturbed THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Makes Appeal to American C. of C. By the Associated Press. LONDON, April 30.—Ronald H. Cross, minister directing Britain’s blockade of Germany, pleaded today | for American ‘“understanding” of economic warfare — the weapon which he said would shorten the war in which “we are fighting for | our lives.” | Speaking at an American Cham- ber of Commerce luncheon the 43 year-old Minister of Economic War- fare declared it to be “our hope that measures which have been forced upon us will not in the long | run be to the economic disadvan- tage of the United States. Fighting in Earnest. “In the long months of seeming inaction with which this war has begun many may have doubted our ' COACH AND TOURJ ] hearts were in this war. The last few weeks must have made it clear to all that we are in grim earnest.” Britain’s choice, Mr, Cross said, was between “hardship and loss to our neutral friends” or seeing “cur gconomlc weapon blunted in our and.” ‘The Minister said one “undoubted- ly serious” leak in the blockade was the passage of copper, rubber, tin and other materials through Vladi- vostok, Russian Pacific port. He add- ed that the “United States has been & source of much of these raw ma- terials and we wonder sometimes how far it is generally realized in your country that important supplies of key war materials have reached Ger- many in this way.” | Mr. Cross declared there was no | foundation for tales that British used the examination of mails to divert | orders from American to British ex- | porters, | Appeals for “Navicert” Use. { Appealing for greater use of the | ‘navicert” (naval certificates) system | under which shippers tell the British | exactly what the ships are carrying | before they sail. Mr. Cross said com- plaints about the delays are “largely | a thing of the past.” i Of 10 American vessels which | passed inward through Gibraltar | since March 30 eight were cleared | on the day they arrived, and two | which arrived late in the evening SOLID COMFORT FOR THE ST-SLEEPER TRAIN [ ] ® Yes, sir!

Mr. Cross estimated that Britain would purchase £16,000,000 (about $56,000,000) worth of American food- stuffs, as compared with £20,000,000 (about $70,000,000) during a normal year.

PRICES IN EFFECT Georgla Lumber Firm Freed 0f Wage-Hour Charge By the Associated Press. AUGUSTA, Ga., April 30—The Government exceeded constitution- al rights In seeking to convict tne F. W. Darby Lumber Co. of wage- hour law violation, United States District Judge Willlam H. Barrett ruled. In his ruling yesterday Judge Barrett quashed an indictment charging the Statesboro (Ga. lum- bering firm’s operations came with- in the Interstate Commerce clause and it had failed to meet its legal Clarks duty in the matter of wages and hours. If all the allegations were true, the jurist held, “the regulation of labor would embrace, not only (by | way of illustration in the present case) the man who cui the timber or hauled it to the mill, but also the man who planted the seed and cultivated the trees. “If the Interstate Commerce clause carries with it such power to thus create a centralized govern- ment as against an ‘indestructible union composed of indestructible States,’ the sooner it is known the better. It is my opinion that Con- gress has not yet gone to that extent and that if it has the act is unconstitutional.” DELIVERY SERVICE NATIONAL 3320 705 14th STREET N.W. SALE!
