No Effect On Debate SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH"
0. (UP)..- WASHINGTON, Oct. Both siles of the neutrality debate predicted that litler's speech will have little effect on the current Con- gressional fight for the revision of the Neutrality Law.
Senator George Norris: "I have no confidence in Hitler because he has lied so often. Every time he takes some country he says tử has no fur- ther territorial ambitions."
Congressional cominunt is that the speech emphasises the necessity of the United States remaining oloof The from the war. Opponents of embargo repeal seize the opportunity to re-emphasise their positions.
Seautor Willlum Borah: "As far as I am concerned and the America3 people are concerned, i wouldn't be- lieve either side."
Senator Rush Holt: "It is just another European problem. It doesn't matter how it is settled. It will merely lay the foundation for an- other war."
Senator William King "Russia and Germany will co-operate in on endeavoor destroy Demperate nations."

Prices generally this week show an improvement in comparison with those of last week and the notable festure has been the steadiness that prevailed.

Scrip is becoming seorce and it remains for buyers to readjust their ideas of prices before Bellers will be induced to come into Use open freely. Banks, Cements and Watsons cume in for a good dent of attention and the closing tone of the market seems to be inclined on the firm side.
