Hiram Johnson TO
Fight Abrogation
OF Ban on Loans
Continued from Page ID

(COntlnued from rage -
trality bill, formally approved by
Is of the % members of Pittman's S
committee, johnson summoned re-
porters to a corner of his office.
He pointed to framed copy OF
the Johnson act. signed by PreSi-
dent Roosevelt on April 13, 1884,
and said:
"We were all very proud of that
when he signed it,
Of the presidents neutrality pro-
gram he said:
1T seems to me at first blush
to be an abrogation of the john
son act. I'm going to devote my
efforts TO drafting an amendment
to preserve that act. The president
and all these other people have
talked about cash on the barrel
head in connection with this pro-
posed sale of munitions to belliger-
ents. Now it's 90 days.
1T seems to me that a 90-day
credit would be in violation of my
act-a back door violation. I don I
know how you can call a 90-day
credit anything but loan. 1 have
MT looked this up carefully, but
l think I can see where this pro-
vision comes within the purview OF
the act. l will be glad to be proved
wrong, but If I'm right l will take
any means within my power to
protect the act"
Pittman said that a construction
might be given to the word loan
that would not include ordinary
International credits with relation
to export goods.
These matters are generally
transacted through 80 to l20-day
drafts" he said. These transac-
tions are generally considered as
cash transactions in any country.
Sen, William E. Borah, r., Ida,
co-leader with ohnson of the iSola-
tionists, said that he had not in
terpreted the 90-day clause as any
thing but cash He said he could
MT understand why Pittman con-
sidered it modification of the
Johnson act. Pittman, he said,
would have had trouble" had he
offered that Interpretation when
the foreign relations group con-
sidered the proposed bill yesterday

The official newspaper Pravda
said Russia and Germany will IN
vite the aid of so-far neutral pow
ers, if necessary, to restore peace.
The peace move was seconded by
the Pope, who with Premier Benito
Mussolini is anxious to end the con-
flict. The Pope, receiving a Polish
delegation headed by Cardinal
Hlond, primate of Poland, paid
sorrowful tribute to the defenders
of Poland and the military and
civilian victims of its invasion.
The pontiff expressed the strong
hope that religious life can be con-
tinued in the dismembered repub-
lie. traditionally a stronghold of
Roman Catholicism.
The western front remained in
active, although Paris reported
German forces massing increasingly
behind the Siegfried line of forti-
fications. The French supreme war
council met to consider the effect
of the defiant German Russian an
nouncement.
