Washington, Apr. 20.
ITTER attack against the United States' supplying the rest of the world with war materials which may possibly be used against America, was made by Senator Gerald P. Nye, Republican of North Dakota, during a debate today on the Navy Expansion Bill.
"The chances," Senator Nye said, "are ten to one, maybe 100 to one, that the petrol which supplied power to the Japanese that bombed the U.S.S. Panay was delivered by American corporations—corporations that need our gunboats to protect their tankers.
"The chances are ten to one, maybe 100 to one, that the bombs used to sink the Panay were manufactured in the United States.
"There was a greater chance that the shrapnel which pierced flesh aboard the Panay was American scrap iron.
"America's first obligation is to cease the game of arming the rest the world.""—United Press.
