BORAH SAYS trade

Effective Policy Must Cur.
tail or Surrender Profits,
Idahoan Asserts.

BY the Associated Press.
In the wake of President Roosevelt's
announced intention to seek new
neutrality legislation, Senator Borah,
Republican, Of Idaho, said today the
Nation must "curtail. If not surren.
der" profits and trade to make any
neutrality policy effective.
THAT requires something more
than q law. 1t requires the will and
purpose of the people," said the vet
eran member of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee.
IF the people want their profits
and trade. and we undertake to give
it to them under any policy Of neu-
trality. then the policy becomes .
fraud"
Borah declared he would favor q
mandatory embargo on the shipment
of arms or loaning of money to war;
ring nations, and travel by American
citizens on ships of warning nations.
Other things, such as general
trade" he added, probably could
better be left to the discretion of the
President"
Embargo Already Required.
The present neutrality act. which
expires May l. requires the President
to proclaim an embargo on "instru-
ments of war" whenever he finds q
state of war existing.
Various changes of the act ale be-
ing considered. President Roosevelt
said at his press conference late yes
terday new legislation would be Of
fered, but he did not indicate the
form it would take.
He spoke after comforting with
Chairman McReynolds of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee on the
question of bringing civil wars-such
as the one in Spain-under the neu-
trality law.
In cases where such conflicts might
involve other nations. McReynoIds
said. he believed the President should
have discretionary authority to in
woke the act.
The Tennessean said the Supreme
Court decision Ipholding the PreSi-
dents right under the 1884 Chago
embargo act to ban arms shipments
to warning nations was mentioned in
his talk with the President.
Will Seek Immediate Trials.
The courts action brought notice
from the Government today that II
would seek immediate trial Of COM
panies indicted in New York under the

Already, the Government is manu-
featuring half its naval vessels, all its
naval guns and small arms, together
with part of its ammunition. Thus,
the committee recommendation would
involve naturalization of machine
gun manufacture. certain gun forgings,
the balance of its ammunition, armor
plate, and additional equipment for
naval building. Expansion of Navy
yards, the report said, could be accom-
plished at a cost of $23, SOC, 900.
The majority urged that private
munitions makers be prohibited from
selling American military inventions
abroad.
Answering minority views on ma
tionalization, the majority asserted
costs would not be greater since prof
its, estimated as high as SO per cent
on certain naval contracts, would be
eliminated.
As to dangers of over production,
the report said the present Govern
ment navy yards. gun and powder
manufacturing plants have not over

Regarding foreign sales methods Of
the munitions makers. the committee
declared that ''the American munitions
