Neutrality Act History Hints
Possible Use in Chinese War
Question Is Strict lmpartiality Between
Warrn,g States or Use of Po,cer
to PenuIize One.

trality bill could be enacted, enabling
the President 50 to restrict American
commerce in time Of foreign war that
there would be no conflict Of American
neutral rights with possible sanctions
against an aggressor.
While the Ethiopian war was in
progress Mr.. Roosevelt provided un-
mistakable evidence Of his sympathies
with the League and against Italy. At
the outset he went outside the legal
authority granted him in the neu-
trality :ct Of 1885 and warned Ameri-
can business that all commercial
transactions with the belligerents were
at It's own risk. The historic warning,
however commendable as an effort to
lnsulate the United States against war,
had no legal basis except the Presi-
dents power to determine policy as
the head Of the executive branch Of
the Government. With the possibility
OF League sanctions being taken this
was sound preparation on the part of
the United States for lending support
to the League at the proper moment.
During the next two months Mr..
Roosevelt and Secretary Of State Hull
gave renewed evidence of their dis
pleasure at the growing war trade
with Italy. They referred to bel
ligerents," but there was very little
increased trade with Ethiopia.
Discretionary Bill Sousht.
Finally, when the time came for =
permanent neutrality law to be en-
acted the administration sought almost
complete discretion for the President
to restrict American trade with bel
ligerents, the plea being that a man.
datory law would prevent the Presi-
dent from meeting unforeseen circum-
stances that might arise.
The explanation Of the long tight
that marked the progress Of the bill
on Capitol Hill is found in the clash
OF two philosophers of peace which
met there. The desire for assurance
OF continued peace for America was
universal. but the methods by which
1t was proposed to achieve it were
olametrCally opposed.
Mr.. Roosevelt and the State De.
partment believed that peace could
best be assured by not coming into
conflict with the sanctions which
might some day be welded against
an sggressor. Many public leaders,
including number Of Congressmen,
believed strict neutrality was the most
emcient means of preventing involve
ment OF the United States in war.

JAPANESE MEET
ATTACK ON FLANK
Chinese Throw Forces Into
20-Mi|e Breach in Foes
Lines.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
JAPANESE FIELD HEADQUAR-
TERS. Lianghsiang, August 25-The
japanese Army threw all available
troops into action west of Peiping to-
day in an effort to halt Z sweeping
Chinese hanking movement through q
2o-mile breach in the Japanese lines.
Three strong Japanese columns,
hanked by dozens of small patrols,
were attacking the Chinese troops, at
tempting to drive them out Of their
fortified positions in the western hills,
The sound Of heavy firing could be
heard plainly at headquarters.
There was no confirmation here of
Japanese occupation Of the key city
OF Kalgan to the north or even OF
penetration Of the Great Wall as was
claimed in Peiping by the Domei
(Japanese) News Agency and Official
army press releases.
No Such Victory Reported.
japanese officers said no such VIC
tory had been reported back here on
the army radio linking the co-ordi-
mated operations.
On the contrary, a general atmos-
phere of caution verging on nervous
ness was perceptible among the
Japanese field commanders to the
west and south of Peiping.
Their advance to the southwest
along the Peiping- -Hankow Railroad
had been halted a few miles below
this headquarters; their mechanical
army was mired by weeks Of unceas-
ing rain; their flanks were harried
by considerable numbers of Chinese
troops operating in small patrols.
The surprise Chinese sweep around
the Japanese right flank obviously
was worrying the japanese strate-
gists 1t was q real menace to the
2o-mile gap in their lines stretching
all the way from Mentoukow, due
west OF Peiping, to Nankow Pass to
the north, where a Japanese army Of
almost 10000 men has been held up
Tor three weeks.
Left Flank Attacked.
Gen. Yamashita, Japanese field
commander, also admitted that his
left flank, east of the railroad, was
being attacked. He said the Chinese
troops were mixed divisions of Gen.
Sung Cheh-yuan's 29th Hopeh Pro-
Vlncial Army and the Nanking Cen
trail Army based on Paotingfu.
The advance guards OF the two
armies, strung across the railroad
were in sight Of each other just
a few miles south of here, but there
was no action.
Japanese planes were bombing the
entire area in a desperate effort to
break up the Chinese cQpcentration.
and the artillery fire extended from
just west of Lianghsiang north to
Mentoukow.
