NEUTRALITY JOKER
MAY ALLOW OF WAR
LOANS TO DEBTORS

Continued from page one)
the event Mr.. Roosevelt invokes
the neutrality law against China
and Japan.
The Johnson Act was designed
to prevent recurrence Of the stu
alton arising from the World war
through which Americans made
enormous loans to foreign bellig-
erents which since have become
known as "war debts"
This statute makes it unlawful
for any person to purchase or sell
bonds of foreign governments is
sued after passage. of the act or
to make any loans to nations IN
default of their. obligations. The
act specifically excepted federal
agencies in clause which pro-
vides that the law affects all per-
sons or corporations "other than
a public corporation created by
congress" or in which the United
States has a controlling interest.
Qualified officials said that on
this basis the United States could
lend as much as desired to any
nation, provided it set up machin-
cry under this loophole.
The 1887 neutrality act says ;;
at shall thereafter be unlawful
for any person within the United
States to purchase, sell, or ex-
change bonds, securities, or other
obligations of the government OF
any belligerent state or any state
wherein civil strife exists or TO
make any loan or extend any
credit to any such government.
Administration lawyers indicate
there is nothing in the law when
brings the federal government un-
der the provisions.
Principal basis for this conten-
tion is legal tradition built up
in English law and generally &C
copied in this country. 1t is found
ed on a decision of the British
courts that the king is not bound
by acts of parliament unless ne Is
specifically named in such statutes.

FEAR BALKAN
RELIGIOUS war
Greek Priest Is Beaten /;
Yugoslav Parliament
Fighting Breaks

BELGRADE, July 20. (UP)-
A Greek orthodox priest was
beaten unconscious last night, al
legedly by police, and fighting
broke out in the Yugoslav parlia-
ment as the governments efforts
to ratify a Vatican concordat
threatened to provoke a. Balkan
religious war;"
The priest, Bishop Simeon from
Schahaz, was attacked while lead
ing 80 other priests in a protest
parade in defiance of govern
ment order banning all mass
meetings and demonstrations by
the orthodox clergy.
1t was the first time in Yugo-
slav history that government
has dared to take action against
the powerful Greek church, which
claims to be the Official" church
of the nation.
Opposition deputies in parlia-
ment, learning of the attack on
the bishop, began shouting, "The
police are beating our priests in
the streetsw
Parliamentary action was sus-
pended. Authorities, fearing fur
ther disorders, ordered both Ro-
man Catholic and orthodox priests
from the galleries-another order
without precedent.
Crowds milled in the streets in
the center of Belgrade.
The Skupschtina (parliament)
began a debate on the concordat
late yesterday and religious feel
ings ran high, especially among
the Serbs who form the largest
section of Yugoslavia's postwar
mixture of people and are staunch
Greek orthodox Catholics.
The ban against parades and
mass meetings was issued when
the government of Premier Milan
Stoyadinovich learned that the
orthodox clergy planned nation
wide protest demonstrations.
The Holy Orthodox synod an
nounced that Stoyadinovich and
any deputy Of the Skupschtina
voting in favor of the Vatican af-
filiation will be communicated
from the national church.
Their families also will be eX-
communicated, decree announc-
ed from every orthodox pulpit
warned, and no priest will be per-
mitted to officiate at their homes
for births, marriages or deaths.
The decree carried great force,
inasmuch as. the Orthodox church
has a monopoly on marriage, bur-
ial and the christening of chill
dren.
The concordat issue, which
must be settled before July 81
lest the concordat automatically
lapse after three years, threatens
to provoke disorders among the
14,000,000. Slavs who occupy a
nation about the size of the state
of Oregon in America.
Feeling was most bitter be-
tween the orthodox Serbs - they
form about one-third of the en-
tire population = and the Croats
and Slovenes who are Roman
Catholics. Throughout Yugoslavia
the Serbs are the most powerful,
holding high posts in the govern
ment and army.
Extensive police precautions
have been taken to cope with
trouble when the final vote comes
on the concordat. -
The Skupschtina's sub-commit-
tee ratified the governments con-
cordat proposal last week by u
vote Of IL to 10. Deputy Tonitch,
chief supporter of the bill, was
Immediately accommodated.
