For Real Neutrality.

Definite statements are still lacking,
but there are clear indications that the
administration is preparing to ask Con-
Sress for legislation designed more eftec-
lively to safeguard American neutrality
by clothing the Government with wider
mowers to curb trade in materials essen
tial to the waging of war. Current
experience in the Italo Ethiopian con-
fiict amply demonstrates the neeo OF
more extensive authority than is con-
ferred by the existing neutrality reso-
luton. AS this will expire in February,
the early weeks of the impending session
will afford Congress an appropriate
onnortunitv for reconsideration OF a
situation that clamors for remedial
attention.
Present-hour uncertainties and vacilla-
tions with regard to oil supplies for Italy
emphasize the urgency OF broadening
and stabilizing the United States war
trade policy. The League Sanctions
Committee is about to decide whether
oil shall be added to the commodities
withheld from Italy under measures
already adopted If such an embargo is
declared and the United States, in
defiance of it, continues to supply MuSSo-
Iini with oil, Geneva's peace-compelling
program will be largely, if not entirely,
nullifed. At the moment the Washing
ton Government has no power to stop
the shipment of oil or any other kinds
of materials except implements OF war"
to either Italy or Ethiopia. Its preventive
authority is limited to moral pressure" !"
It can only plead with American business
not to seek profits in blood money" by
exporting materials that both prolong
war and augment the danger of our in
yolyement. 1t cannot legally stay the
hand of individuals, firms or corpora
tions which, regardless of appeals and
admonitions, care to engage in such
transactions.
Events of the past two months have
shown that something more is necessary
than platonic requests for restriction or
cessation of war trade. While the ad-
ministration will continue to discourage"
shipments of essential materials, like
cotton, copper, oil, scrap iron and trucks,
beyond normal peacetime quantities, Of
ficfals reflect an earnest desire for gen.
uire authority. They have suggested the
imposition of quota system for the pur-
pose of curbing excessive exports.
It is greatly to be hoped that If the
administration decides to seek powers
more potent than those of mere per-
suasion, Congress will grant them with
O minimum of delay. There is no wish
upon the part Of the American people as
a whole that this Nation shall con-
tribute, directly or indirectly, to pro-
longation of bloodshed in Africa. The
country does not desire to entangle itself
with the League or with any Of its
works, but it is anxious that the policy
of neutrality upon which the United
States has embarked shall be real neu-
trality and not a brand of it which, in
the existing circumstances, works out in
the extension of aid to only one of the
belligerents, namely, Italy. Secretary
Hull is on unassailable ground in favor
ing a program that will make American
neutrality actual and ef1icient.

punts in the first period, content to
await a break" On the first kick
off Georgetown got a break when
Meglen recovered the ball which Cecil
Cook fumbled in his territory. but
after making a first down the Hoyas
were checked and finally lost the ball
when Cook intercepted pass on his
goal line and ran to Miami's IS, from
where Wolcuf punted out of danger.
Miami outplayed the Hoyas in the
first period and at the outset of the
second quarter it looked as though
the visitors would draw first blood

suited in a loose pass from center
which Miami grabbed on Georgetown's
24-yard line but the Hurricane spent
itself banging against the solid Hoya
wall and Miami. too, blew its first real
opportunity.
It was here that Sheeran stepped
into the picture. Grabbing a l5-yard
pass from Tom Heating he made a
first down in midfeld. picked himself
up and SHARED another pass good for

the Floridans reeled off four successive
first downs. the last of which was a
13-yard journey around end by
Charley Baker, placing the oval on the
Eoyas' Is.
Georgetown dug in its cleats,
smeared the next three plays and took
possession of the ball on its 2o-yard
stripe when Don Gibeau intercepted
desperate fourth-down pass
Miarni's next bit Of passing led to
the second Hoya touchdown Duff. a
stocky sophomore, intercepted heave
by Cook on the visitors 25-yard line

Hurricane drew a l5-yard penalty
From here Duff ploughed the remain
ing 10 yards for the final score.
Although far outplayed m the third
period, when it gained only yards to
-, Georgetown's statistics bore out
the justice of the final score. The
Hoyas made II first downs to 6, gained
116 yards to lit by rushing and 40
to 8 by passes.
