GREAT CONCERN
ABOUT FATE OF
NEUTRALITY ACT
HAS BEARING ON TEST CASE,
WHICH is ANOTHER MEAS
URE To BE ARGUED IN SU-
PREME COURT
By PRESTON GROVER
(By Associated PressD

tby AAsocAAte0 A-Hca6
WASHINGTON, Nov. PRIV
ately state department officials
are much concerned about the
fate of the neutrality act because
of a test case on another measure
TO be argued soon in the supreme
court.
Under the present neutrality
act, passed last session, the Presi-
dent must stop all munitions ship
ments to warning nations. What
would happen if that authority
suddenly were lost while Europe
seems to be already busting off
The special tension arises out
of an obscure case now before the
supreme court testing the consti-
nationality of an act authorizing
an embargo on shipment of arms
to Bolivia and Paraguay during the
Chaco war. Certain officials fear
the Chaco act is so near like the
neutrality act that if one falls,
the other falls also. Others see
differences they feel will save the
neutrality act for quick use in case
Europe boils over.
How Acts Compare
The federal court in southern
New York held the Chaco act was
.uneonstitntional because it dele
gated too much authority to the
President. Approval May %,
1884, it authorized the President
to prohibit arms shipments into
the Chaco if that would 'contri
butte to the re-establishment of
peace" On the very day the act
was approved, the President or
dered an embargo.
Yet, during 1885, the govern
ment charges, the Curtiss-Wright
Export corporation, Curtiss Aero
plane and Motor company and GER
tain others "conspired to SELF
15 machine guns to Bolivia. Re-
putedly aviation material also was
involved, but the charge did not
list this. The penalty for viola
ton is $4,000 fine and two years
Imprisonment.
While the district court ruled
that the Chaco act unconstitution-
ally delee5teg authority TO- | the
President the government in it's
appeal to the supreme court, is
basing its defense nOnfa long line
of decisions granting the Pres dent
leeway in conduct of foreign af-
fairs.
Principal differences in the two
acts are these: In the Chaco meas
ure, the President, before he
could act, had to decide an en-
barge would promote peace. In
the neutrality act, he must only
decide that a war actually exists,
and the embargo becomes effec-
tive automatically. The act was
applied in the Italo-Ethiopian con-
.flict, although war never was de-
clared.
Nowhere in the court proceed
ings is the neutrality act men,
toned. Moreover, since the Cha
co war is ended, that act, for all flu
aure use, is as dead as a dodo. But
the government is prosecuting the
alleged violation with deadly Sc
robustness. There are bigger stakes
than the possibilities of a $10,-
600 fine and somebody going to
Jail for a couple of years.
Doesn't Apply To RevoIts
The neutrality act doesn't pro-
hibit shipment of arms to coun-
try in revolt, ike Spain. Munitions
makers merely have to ask per-
mission to ship, and the state de-
partment can't refuse. But Sec
rotary Hull asked that no arms be
sent into Spain, and not a single
request has been made.

BUYING FROM PEDDLERS

We believe that it can be stated absolute fact that no person bought bargain from a peddler The price may be low, but in such the quality is even lower Usually prices paid to peddlers much higher than the same article be bought for from our local stores.
 Not one of these peddlers who find Valdez or any other Alaska town such happy hunting ground pays
 cent of taxes in the town towns Most of them pay no taxes anywhere for they here today and gone tomorrow. In no place long enough to get on the tl rolls Not one pedder helps support churches, our schools or donates 10 any worthwhile activity Have you ever known of peddler making donation for a local cause?
 Valdez has an ordinance prohibiting the activities of pedderS; but far have never it enforced. It should not be necessary to enforce such ordinance if our people would realize what they are doing and how they are hurting their town by their selfish actions. If they would but stop and consider who helps them through the long winter months they would help their beneactors out in the summer-by giving them every dollar possble.-Vadez Weekly Miner

RIDING TO A FALL

The Matanuska Valley Pioneer has the following to say editorial in reference to the colony:
 It is quite possible that those few who continue kicking on the food budgets riding to fall which is apt to carry the whole colony group with them.
 Washington with plenty of living cost statistics from which to judge says that the local food budget is too liberal and there those in the colony who argue that it is not enough.
 Enquiry among the families here have convinced us that the difference of opinion is simply matter of economy and management in the home. There are families here who are laying up reserve on their bud get others who using up their entire bngle allow ance before the month is half over then come in and demand additional credit at the commissary.
 Few they are. this is the bunch who will bring about legislation that will work hardship on those who managing their kitchens properly.
 It is foolish to think that increase will be toned by Washington because of the howls of few. What will be the result?
