NEUTRALITY ACT

Senator Pittman Says War

b the Associated Press.

0y JuC AS0VCAeteo EAeso'
Senator Pittman, Democrat, Of Ne.
vada expressed belief yesterday that
q year Of war in China had DEM
onstrated that the Roosevelt admin
istration must be granted wider
latitude in its economic and COM
mercial dealings with China and ia
pan.
The chairman of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee told the As
sociated Press this probably would In
volve revision of the Neutrality Act.
with additional discretion being given
to the President as to when and what
portion Of its terms would be invoked.
The present Neutrality Act bans
arms shipments to both sides In any
foreign conflict recognized by the
President as 4 state Of war. It was
drafted primarily with . possible
European war situation in mind and
no thought was given to Asiatic de-
velopments. Senator Pittman said.
President Roosevelt has refrained from
invoking the statute against China
and Japan, which never have de-
clAred war formally.
Suggestions Foreseen.
II believe the administration will
present to Congress suggestions for
4 wider discretion" said Senator Pitt
man, who often in the past has been
congressional spokesman for the
State Department. Il also am Of the
opinion that, speaking generally, Con-
gress is considering the necessity for
such action"
The increasing amount Of Japanese
purchases OF war supplies from the
United States may encourage efforts
to revise our economic and commercial
relations with the Orient. Senator
Pittman indicated.
Il think this year Of war in China
has aroused. on the part Of the Ameri-
can public, q serious prejudice against
the japanese government and . grow
ing desire to aid China" he declared
