Senator Pittman, Democrat, of Ne
vada yesterday advocated complete re-
vision OF the American neutrality pol
icy. based on . thorough examination
by Congress Of every phase" of for
eign relations.
The chairman OF the Senate For
eign Relations Committee said he had
no doubt that Congress, at its next
session, would be called on to revamp
the Neutrality Act. 1t has been un-
der fire from opponents because Of its
alleged ireffectiveness in the fighting
in China and Spain.
In doing this. Senator Pittman said
Congress should start from scratch"
and examine not only the problem OF
neutrality, but questions involving
the freedom Of the seas, the rights of
neutrals and humane limitations on
warfare.
Congress should not overlook.
either. the possible use of peaceful
methods Of inducing obedience to
peace treaties" Senator Pittman said.
That would involve the conside,a-
tions Of the questions Of embargoes.
withdrawal Of credits, announcement
Of treaties Of amity. commerce and
navigation and exceptions to the most
favored clause In trade agreements.
Most people seem to think that
the only way you can enforce q De- sce
treaty Is to send soldiers out tc do It.
A far more powerful way is to bring
economic pressure on the vio,ators OF
those peace treaties"
Senator Pittman predicted q rum
Der Of suggestions on the neutrality
question would be made 70 the For
eign Relations Committee by lis menu
bers and other Senators. He pro-
posed that all Of these suggestions be
catalogued soon after the start of The
next session and that the committee
hold hearings on them. He also wants
hearings on legislation Of his own to
prohibit the shipment Of oombing
planes and bombs to belliserent ma
tions. -
The Senate approved, in the clos
ing hours Of the 18th Congress, q
resolution condemning bolnbing Of
civilians. but Senator Pittman said
he wished to implement this policy
by effective legislation.

to give any assurances that treaty
limits would in practice be adhered
to by it.
"3. As the japanese government
will be aware, the naval treaty
gives the American government
right of oscillation in the event of
building not i'm conformity with
treaty limits by a power not a
party thereto. There have for some
time been persistent and cumula-
tive reports which in the absence
of explicit assurances from the
japanese government that they arc
ill-fOunded, must be deemed to
be authentic, that Japan has un-
dertaken or intends to undertake
construction of capital ships and
cruisers not in conformity with
the above mentioned limits. The
American government has there
fore decided that it will be neces-
sary for it to exercise its right of
oscillation unless the Japanese gov
ernment can furnish the aforesaid
assurances and can satisfy the AM
erican government that it will not,
prior to January l, 1943, lay down,
complete or acquire any vessel
which does not conform to the linn
its in question, without previously
informing the American govern
ment of it's intention to do so and
of tonnage and caliber of the larg-
est gun of the vessel or vessels
concerned.
%. In view of the forthcoming
publication of naval estimates and
necessity for giving other treaty
powers information as to intended
American construction, the Ameri-
can government will be glad to
receive reply not later than Feb
ruary 20 next. should no reply
be received by that date or should
the reply be lacking in the desired
information and assurances, it will
be compelled to assume that the
Japanese government either is con-
structing or acquiring or has au-
thOrized the construction or ac-
QUESTION of vessels not in confOr-
nifty with the limits referred to.
The American government would
thereupon be obliged in cOnsulta-
ton with the other naval powers
with which il is in treaty relations
to resume full liberty of action,
If, however, the Japanese govern
ment though engaged in, or intend
ing to engage in, construction not
in conformity with treaty limits,
were willing to indicate forthwith
the tOnnages and calibers of guns
Of the vessels which it was con-
structing, or was intending to con-
struct, the American government
for its part would be ready to dis
cuss with the Japanese government
the question of the tOnnages and
gun calibers to be adhered to in
future if Japan were not prepared
to agree to some limitation. II

ments are making like demands,
the state department said.
"A preliminary consultation has
taken place and the British, French
and American governments have
decided to approach the japanese
government with request for in
formation" the department said
The United States, Great Brit
ain and France are signatories to
the 1896 London naval treaty which
limits the size of warships they
may build to $4,000 tons and arma-
ments to 16-inch guns, unless some
other power builds bigger and more
powerful ships.
Plans for construction of battle
ships weighing more than 10000
tons and armed with 18-inch guns
have been under consideration by
high naval officials for some time
Although naval officials refused
comment, it was learned that some
congressional leaders believe that
the plans might pe made to apply
to the two battleships authorized
in the 1899 naval appropriation
bill already approved by the house.
In addition, Chairman Carl Vim
son, D., Ga, of the house naval
affairs committee, author of the
bill permitting a 20 per cent in
crease in fighting strength of U. S
fleets, said that his bill would per-
nit battleships up to any tonnage
desired
The navy has indicated that 49,
inch guns would be "serviceable'
and it was learned that plans for
such armament already have beer
drafted.
The navy actually began con-
struction of such guns during the
World war, but abandoned them
upon concurrence in the Washing
ton naval treaty of 1922.
The action OF the three powers
was explained by officials as par
allel but not joint. The similar ac-
ton was made necessary, it was
explained, because all three are
parties to the 1886 naval treaty
and would be jointly menaced by
naval construction by some other
power in excess of that treaty's
limitations.
LONDON, Feb. S. (UP) = Great
Britain and France today asked
Japan, in notes coincident with one
of the United States, whether she
is building battleships of more thar
$4,000 tons. The alternative to
satisfactory reply is that the three
nations must free themselves from
the restrictions of their 1886 London
treaty and build super-ships in self
protection.
