WAR BLAME PUT

Yale Professor Says U. S.

in Trade Curbs.

By the Associated Press.
A contention that executive in
competence" rather than trade sent
the United States into the World War
was made to the House Foreign Affairs
Committee today by Edwin NJ. Bor-
chard. professor of international law
at Yale University.
He appeared as hearings opened
on the administration neutrality bill,
which Borchard declared would Sc
riously impair foreign trade with
belligerentS and neutrals alike.
You are monkeying with one OF
the most dangerous buzz-saws in the
world" Borchard said The end of
this trail is the end of the independ-
enee of the United States hate to
see the history of the world repudi-
ated in this somewhat thoughtleSs
way"
Attacks War Exports.
The Yale professor directed his at
tack principally at the section of the
bill relating to the export of articles
and materials used for war purposes.
"The high spot of this bill is that it
gives the President power to be Just
as unneutral as he desires to be. and
in my humble opinion the President
shouldn't want that power" said Bor
chard.
He emphasized that restriction OF
exports of articles and materials used
for war would affect both neutrals and
belligerents. despite protests of such
intention by several committee men,

1T is more important to preserve
the United States than it is to aid
the enterprises in this bill" said
Borchard. Moral uplifters are dan
gerous people There is no right and
wrong in a volcano"
Moore Intervenes.
Assistant Secretary of State R.
Walton Moore interrupted at one
point to say the State Department
has "endeavored to apply common
sense to a demand from public opin-
ion for domestic legislation to keep
us out Of war"
A few moments later Moore and Rep
resentative Fish, Republican, of New
York clashed when Fish contended
the committee members and not the
State Department should discuss the
legislation with Borchard or other wit
neSSeS.
Borchard emphasized if neutrality
bill is passed it should be mandatory.
because that will save the Chief Ex-
ecutive many sleepless nights"
In this view, Charles G. Hyde, pro-
fessor of international law at Columbia
University, who followed Borchard on
the stand, agreed.
