Drofts Proposal
For Inquiry
Dy tie Associated Press.

1y tie Associated Press.
Representative Mas, Republican,
OF Minnesota, proposed today that
Congress eliminate what he called
"a woeful lack of coordination" be-
tween the Army and the Navy.
Representative Mas, senior Re-
publican member Of the House Ma
val Committee, said he had drafted
q resolution to assign special SUBJ
committees to an investigation Of
the subject. He emphasized the pro-
posed study would not interfere
with any pending plans of the ad-
ministration to bolster national de-
lenses.
Mr.. Mas said he believed lack Of
coordination was traceable to q
similar situation in Congress. He
pointed out that four separate COM
mittees in the House and Senate
deal with naval and military legis-
lation and four other subcommit-
tees handle appropriation bills for
the armed forces.
Speaking shortly after he landed
from a practice flight in a new type
warplane-he is lieutenant colonel
in the Marine Reserve-Repre-
sentative Mas said he planned to
introduce legislation to repeal the
present neutrality law and substi-
tute enforcement Of actual neu-
trality."
MY conception Of real neutrality
would permit this country to sell
anything to anybody, except the
principals in a formally declared
war" he said.
Under such an arrangement, he
continued, the Navy would protect
this country's commerce with neu-
tral nations.
Enforcement Of such a policy"
Mr.. Mas declared, "is the only way
for us to keep out of war. People
have forgotten that Britain sank
the first American ships during the
World War"
