Meantime. neitter they nor the state Fepartment officials would disc.psc the extent of the company's activities
 The question under consideration is how American firms may so in to manufacture materials for use in the construction of war craft without vioiating the neutrality of he United States. Although the export Of arms ammunition, horses, motor trucks shells and even large guns Is not pro hibited by laws of the American gov ernment and g neutral country is not obliged by International law to pre- vent their shipment a different att tude is assumed in the law toward building or equipping a foreign war ship on neutral territory
