NYE NEUTRALITY
CLAUSE BLOCKED
Resolution Was Designed
to Force Application of
Law to Italy.
Br the Associated Press.

Br the Associated Press.
A resolution designed to force ap-
plication Of Americas neutrality Law
to Italy's participation in Spain's civil
war was on the Senate calendar today
with action possible on Monday.
Calling for ban of arms shipments
to Italy and other governments alleged
to be active in the Spanish strife, the
resolution was introduced yesterday by
Senator Nye, Republican, of North Da-
kota, but immediate consideration was
blocked by Majority Leader Robinson.
Pittman Protests.
Chairman Pittman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee pro-
tested that there is not "the slightest
evidence that Italy as government
has been taking part" in the Spanish
conflict.
If the State Department should
support the contention that arms are
being trans s-shipped from Italy" Pitt
man contended, Premier Mussolini
would consider such charge provoca-
tive and insulting, and the cause OF
peace would not be served.
We would have to find Italy was a
belligerent.
Under the present law, it is entirely
for the President to decide whether a
state of war exists and declare an
embargo"
The Nevadan added that there does
seem to be evidence that some for
eigners - including Americans - have
gone into Spain as individuals to
fight"
Nye Claims Support.
Nye said he had found much sup
port in the Senate for his proposal to
get Secretary Hull's opinion.
There is q large justification for
the institution Of our neutrality policy
against nations engaged 50 aggressively
in Spain," he told reporters Il hope
the resolution will fetch from the State
Department detailed accounting o1
what is the extent Of the arms trade
If any, with Italy.
IT the question is raised whether
Congress has the right to ask thu
State Department for legal opinion
I will draft direct resolution asking
why the neutrality act is not enforced
"It is time we acted. Already oul
prosperity is bound up with the worle
buying of war materials which i.
bound to lead to a crash. So there l.
no reason why we should not appl,
the brakes to some degree by extend
ing the Spanish embargo"
At present arms shipments to Spain
itself are under embargo.
