LAWS DRAFTED FOR
RIGID NEUTRALITY
Attorncy-Gcneral Hopes to
Punish Propagandists More
Severely With Them.
CONGRESS- ASKED TO ACT

NAsHiNGToS, June 3.-Attorney-Gen-
eral GREGORY made public to-day a spe-
ca, communication he had sen, to Con-
gross. cmbodying recommendations for
extending the neutrality laws, SO as to
reach ofensos committed by the pro-
German and Mexican propagandists
with which the Government has been
powcrless to cope in ~. past three years.
The Attorney General says that the
slactmeuts recommended embody the
minimum requirements for the mainte-
rance Of American neutrality, as dts
closed by the experience Of the Depart
nert of Justice and TIC state Depart
n'cr'
Many acts committed in the United
Safes In serious violation Of its soyer-
eighty and against its peace and the
safety of its citizens are not now pun
saws the Attorney-General. Others are
punishable only under unsatisfactory
statutes passed in relation to conditions
.ltogether different from those now pre-
vailing.
The present laws relating to neutral
NV are clearly defective. In some cases
no statutory provision whatever II made
FOR the observance of obligations impera-
lively imposed by international law upon
the United States In other cases made
suate provision Is made.
