Washington Observations
HuI-Approved Neutrality Bill Bosed on
'Bock to International Law Theme

among the absentees. 1t is certain
that very definite reaction has
set in among Senators and Rep
resentatives whose first emotions
were wounded vanity and angry re-
sentiment. Already it's indicated
that 1910 political hustings will ring
with breast-beating boasts that this
or that America first" statesman,
by golly, wasn't caught last sum-
mer doing any undemocratic toady-
ing to King and Queenl
King Georges Winnipeg speech
about the unthinkability of Anglo
American war was no Downing
Street product, this observer is au-
thoritatively informed. The British
sovereign is crossing the Dominion
in the capacity of King of Canada
His responsible minister in at
tendance" is Canadian Prime Min
lister Mackenzie King, who will
come to Washington in similar ca
pacity. No London foreign Office
official is travelling with their majes-
ties. Seldom has any of Britain's
constitutional monarchs ever dealt
SO boldly with international rela-
tions as George VI discussed An
glo- fraternity at Winni-
peg. His speech is considered in
diplomatic Washington to have been
the joint product of Prime Minister
Mackenzie King and Lord Tweeds-
muir, Governor General of Canada.
1t breathes the strongly pro-Ameri-
can sentiments both of these states
men cherish and periodically ex-
press.
A sad commentary on the gar
rulousness and partisan combative-
ness of congressional committees is
Cordell Hull's reluctance to make a
personal appearance on neutrality
before either Senate or House body
dealing with foreign affairs. If the
Secretary of State were to speak
in so-called executive sessions his
statements probably wouldn't re-
main confidential an hour after
their delivery. The blowup that
followed the notorious Senate Mill
tary Affairs Committee secret"
confab at the White House over
airplane sales to France taught
Roosevelt and Hull a lesson. But
even if the head of the State De-
partment were to discuss neutrality
at open hearings, the chances would
all favor his being badgered by par
tisans eager to exploit questions
and answers for political purposes.
Navy men call such tragedies as
the Squalus disaster one of those
casualties of service" which are
regrettable but inevitable. They
are among the prices of sea power
and national defense. What some
of our top-f1ight sailormen hope is
that the periodical submarine mis-
haps which befall all navies may
one day lead to outlawing of the

fleets the national desire for some
assurance through congressional &C

foreign war. Capitol Hill is finding
anti-War sentiment SO intense that
there is now almost solid opposi-
ton to mere revision of So-called
neutrality laws, which can have
unneutral purposes or even unneu-
trail implication. Senator Gillette
admits that several pending pro-
posals have not unneutral purposes,
but will almost inevitably be con-
strued as of unneutral intent.

If it were not for the rising tide
of opinion in favor of early adjourn
ment, Congress might we'll be in
mood to approve the Gillette bill
in short order. Representative
Bloom, Democrat, of New York,
ranking member of the House For
eign Affairs Committee, is sponsor
ing similar legislation. Senate For
eign Relations Committee elements
as far apart as Johnson of Cali
fornia, White of Maine, George of
Georgia and others rate as friendly
to the Gillette scheme. One of its
theses is that the greatest measure
of security against involvement can
be attained by the designation of
combat areas or danger zones. This
would leave Americans free to trade
under the rules of international law,
but with full notice that United
States citizens and ships would en-
ter danger zones under the doctrine
of assumed risk and could not un-
der any circumstances expect the
Army, Navy and people of the
United States to come to their aid
should their attempts meet with
disaster.

S3,715,907 Income Tax
Judgment Returned
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 26.-One Of
the largest income tax judgments
in the Nations history-for $3,715,-
907-has been returned against Will
liam v. (Big BilD Dwyer, once
known as King of the Bootleg
gers"
The judgment was ordered yester-
day by Federal Judge Mortimer w.
Byers In Brooklyn, despite the
pleas of Dryers attorney, william
J. Kelly, for adjournment.
Dwyer, sportsman, gained his
cognomen during prohibition days.
The court was told by Assistant
United States Attorney Frank ].
Parker that Dwyer banked at least
$6;596.8 .807 between 1922 and 1886
and reported an income of S6,824 in
1928, when he banked more than
1000 900.
Little hope of collecting the judg-
ment exists, Parker said, explaining
he had been told Dwyer now was
penniless.
Dwyer was not in court, and his
attorney refused to reveal his where

of the committee, but of one of the
executive agencies, according to the
word that has reached here from
New York, where the sudden change
in plans has occasioned widespread
comment.
If these reports are true, then a
strange thing has happened. After
the publication of President Roose-
velt's letter to the committee asking
that it investigate all reasons why
capital is idle, it seems hardly logi-
cal that the stagnation in the capital
markets should be entirely brushed
aside. Investment bankers have not
been active lately in floating bond
issues for their old-time clients, and
insurance companies have been buy
ing at what are known as private

Must Block Frauds Only.

Just why corporations prefer to
sell outright to a single buyer and
why they do not care to go into the
open markets if they can avoid it is
directly related to the whole problem
of why capital is not moving and
why employment is not being re-
sumed. If the present securities law,
which has been widely acclaimed
as barrier against fraudulent sale,
is to be of avail, it must necessarily
operate not to stop capital flow, but
merely to stop the dishonest and
fraudulent. The criticism in the
various financial centers has been
that the law discouraged legitimate
bond issues.
Whether the criticism is or is not
valid is, of course, not the issue, but
whether the Securities and Exchange
Commission undertook to Stifle
public discussion of this aspect of
capital operations in America is an
important matter for consideration
by those who are trying to bring
about economic recovery. 1t will be
recalled that Senator King of Utah
at one time stated that he believed
public agencies should be studied
as much as the activities Of busi-
ness corporations to determine
what obstacles were being raised to
recovery. At the first sign of a study
of the work of one of the executive
agencies, the rumor now is that any
examination has been squelched.
The Securities and Exchange Act
Is one of the most reaching
laws on the statute books The
S. E. c. is not responsible for what
the law says, but Congress is. If
the law has features which tend to
discourage capital investment, then
Congress is the institution which is
at fault. Normally it would appear
that an executive agency would
wish to have public examination
periodically of the law under which
it operates, but lately the executive
commissions have either asked Con-
gress for more power or have OBJ
jected to the slightest curtailment
of their prerogatives. Thus, the
National Labor Relations Board has
fought against amendment of the
law under which it functions, and
the record thus far shows that the
w. P. A, too, strove to prevent
congressional investigation. The
trend is against congressional study
of power once delegated.
No Danger in Testimony.
The Temporary National Eco
nomic Committee is not the usual
type of investigating committee. 1t
has achieved considerable prestige
because of the painstaking way it
is studying the entire economic sys-
tenn. There has been and is no
danger that allowing investment
bankers to testify as to their
knowledge of the operations of the
law would be reflection on any
individuals or could in any sense
be considered political Hence, the
failure to give the men of financial
experience an opportunity to an
swer the Presidents query as to
why money and machines are idle
is bound to cause more and more
discussion.
1t may we'll be that the action
in cutting out the phase of the
hearings which the investment
bankers were to have attended is
not final, and that there has in
reality been only a postponement,
in which case, the circulation of
the reports as to the refusal of the
S. E. c. to permit the inquiry would
appear to have been unfounded and
an injustice to the commission.

INTERSTATE USE OF MOTOR
VEHICLES

In response to widespread demand
for information on the Federal Gov
ernment's attempt to regulate the
interstate use of motor vehicles, the
keystone Automobile Club has is
sued the following statement:
"a bill introduced by Senator
Truman, of Illinois, has passed the
Senate and now awaits action in the
House. 1t prohibits the operation o.
motor vehicles in Interstate COM
MERGE by unlicensed operators, and
sets up requirements which opera
.ors must meet before licenses may
be issued to them in the various
States; that is, licenses complying
with the Federal formula to permit
free passage between the States.
"Should the bill become law, 1t
would not become effective until
four years after its enactment, thus
giving opportunity to the states
which do not now have licensed OPP
orators to enact the necessary leg
islation. 1t is contended the bill
ioes not infringe on States rights
Its purpose is to require licensing
