Neutrality
Act Called
Path to War
Thorkelson Speaks
Before League of
G. O. p. Women

The new neutrality act is mot
only unconstitutional but clearly
unenforceable" and an attempt to
enforce its provisions will lead us into
war, Representative Jacob Thorkel-
son, Republican, of Montana. told
members of the League of Repub-
lican Women of the District of COL
umbia yesterday at their regular
meeting at the Mayflower Hotel.
This act was never intended to
be Neutrality Act, for it is nothing
but an alliance with Great Britain
in this next war;" Representative
Thorkelson said. THE point want
to make is this-under this act, the
United States will furish material
and pay for this war even if we do
not become directly involved on the
battle-fronts. After the war is over,
it will mean bankruptcy and COM
plete collapse of our industrial
structure. strife, and maybe many
other unpleasant things unforeseen
at this time"
At the same time Mr.. Thorkelson
predicted a national debt of more
than $4,000 100000 at the end of
the next fiscal year and declared
the Government is heading into
bankruptcy and civil strife"
1--WE are now consigned to dollar
devoid of gold value-a commodity
or managed dollar with no value
except its purchasing power" he
continued. I'VE have a Nation in
which the national income is de-
creasing while Government expenses
are steadily increasing. We have a
Sal 100000 national debt, with
one billion deficit the first three
months of this fiscal year-a Nation
with over $4,000, 100000 of contin.
gent liability. and now preparing
for a war that no one wants or cares
anything about. We cannot laugh
that off simply calling it ar
"emergency"

ident, presided at the meeting, dur.
