NEUTRALITY PLANK
IS SEEN LIKELY
Platform Builders Expected
to Give Serious Attention
to Question. 4Axw
BY the Associated Press.

A likelihood that neutrality will come
in for serious attention of Democratic
platform builders at Philadelphia this
week was seen by some observers today
in the wake of President Roosevelt's
revocation Of American war restrictions
against Italy and Ethiopia.
Informed sources asserted that the
Chief Executives action In lifting arms
and financial embargoes and other
measures designed to safeguard this
country's neutrality in the North
African hostilities had focused atten-
ton anew on q subject which has
marked q conspicuous development Of
American foreign policy during the
last year.
President Roosevelt acted, as re-
quired by the neutrality act. after de-
termining that state of war no longer
existed between the Italian conquerors
and the disorganized forces of Emperor
Halle Selassie.
Because Of this, authoritative quar-
tiers expressed confidence that admin
istration leaders would seek a renewed
expression concerning neutrality policy
in any foreign affairs plank submitted
to the Philadelphia convention.
Secretary Hull. the Presidents chief
neutrality adviser. has played leading
role in drafting the proposed Demo-
cratic statement of principles on for
eign policies and will attend the con-
vention as a delegate from his native
Tennessee.
The absence Of any specific mem
ton Of neutrality in the platform re-
Gently adopted by the Republican con-
vention evoked yesterday q call on
Gov. ALI NJ. Landon, the Republican
presidential nominee. by Frederick j.
Libby. director Of the National Council
for the Prevention of War. to tell how
he proposed to keep the country out
Of war II elected.
