He declared a total victory for Gerzaan arms was n**w "well witfaiii the range of poaeibCKty." 3* urged that citizens petition Congress to stay in sesakm to consider emergency kgislatioe for Allied aid and to speed the proeeae of chit owa rearta*meet.

many others who have been urging aid to the Allka immediately was Mrs. Dwight W. Morrow-, mother-m-law of Colonel Ch-arka A. Lindbergh, who said that the United States *komM give active aid to Britain. The menage consisted of a telegram fro-m Mrs. Morrow to Washington, and it was ordered to be placed ia the Congressional Record by Senator r-mather.-, Democrat, of New .Jersey. The message said: "I and members of my familv support resolution passed by "Xew York branch of Committee to Defend America by aiding Allies. Urge you to support immediate action on three points ae to-llows: First, make available to Allies as many 'ptaaea es may in opinion of President be releaseti without impairing national defence.
