More than 1000 miners registered
at suburban Carnegie for benefits

Some applied for jobless benefits

would be eligible was not determined

Public hearings were held at the
last session of Congress on both the
Norton and Randolph resolutions.
both Of which were reintroduced soon
after the present Congress convened.
The Summers resolution is viewed
in some quarters as measure which
combines points contained in the
Capper-Norton resolution and the
Lewis-Randolph resolution.
The text of the amendments pro-
posed by these resolutions follows:
Capper-Norton Amendment.
"The Congress shall have power
to admit to the status of citizens Of
State the residents of the Dis
triot if,1tiV,ry of
ment of the United States, created
by Article I, section 8, for the pur-
pose of representation in the Con-

Republican members Of the COM
mittee.
While a series of proposed amend
ments to the present neutrality law
are pending. the real issle to be de-
cided is the question how much
freedom of action the President is
to have in charting this country's
course, if and when war breaks out
abroad.
The administration makes no
secret of the fact it wants more lati-
tude than the present law would
permit. And, because of President
Roosevelt's evident disposition to
help the democracies of Europe
resist aggression by the Continent s
dictator states, the lSolatiOnistS are
fearful that if such freedom of ac-
ton is given. 1t may eventually lead
this country into European conflict.
Provisions of Present Law.
The law at present provides that:
When the President decides a state
of war exists between two nations,
he shall issue proclamation to
that effect: thereafter, it shall be
unlawful for American firms to sell
arms or munitions to any party
to the hostilities; in addition. the
President may prohibit the sale to
belligerents, except on a cash and
carry basis. of many products which
are not regarded as munitions. but
which are useful in wartime 1t is
this last provision which expires on
May /.

Expedition Urged by Pittman.
In the statement which he issued
before the committee met, Chairman
Pittman said:
1T Is the unanimous desire Of the
committee that hearings upon these
resolutions and bills should be eX-
pedited.
This expedition is urged par
| ticularly for two reasons. The So
called cash and carry provisions of
existing law expire on May l. 1899.
Obviously, the Congress should have,
| if practicable. an opportunity to
consider and pass upon such ques-
tions prior to May l.
ut is universally agreed by inter-
national lawyers that there should
be no substantial change in the
laws of neutral as affecting bel
ligerent after declared or unde-
clared war takes place"
The expiring cash and carry
provision permits the President to
list supplies other than munitions,
which may be sold to belligerents
for cash and transported in foreign
ships Other sections of the act
prohibit sale of arms to warning
nations.
Senator Pittman has proposed, ap-
parently with administration sup
port, that the cash and carry"
clause be re-enacted, but that arms
and ammunition be placed on the
same basis.

Dakota said last night that the pro-

Argentine Charge Laid
To u. S. Vaccinations

BERLIN. April 5 (P).-Adolf Hit
1er's newspaper Voelkischer Beo-
bachter yesterday charged that
Washington's desire ito ruin Ger
man business in South America was
behind awkward falsifications
published by Argentine newspapers
concerning German designs on
Patagonia and the bombing of the
German Embassy in Chile.
THE deeper background certain
ly is the wish of Washington to ruin
Germanys business in South
America by every means possible, v
the paper said.
"By every means-even with
bombs!
THE attack on the German En-
bassy in Chile also is the fruit of
those Anglo-SaXon circles whose
moral aff1rmations are only a cloak
for their dynamic political arro-
gance and their economic greed for
profit"

Senator johnson shouted.
Accuses Three Powers.
Without designating them by
name, but clearly referring to Japan
Germany and Italy, Mr.. Stimson ac-
cused three of the seven most pow
erful nations of the world with re-
jecting decent international behavior
with scorn and contempt"
"They have adopted as their most
conspicuous foreign policy system
of aggressive action against their
neighbors. To that end. they have
developed a very skillful technique
which, during the past few years,
they have been practicing with great
success.
Under the name of unilateral &C.
ton, they have proceeded to tear up
all the promises, treaties and codes
which had been adopted under the
old system of mutual respect and
which stood in the way of their own
aggrandizement. Threats, aggres-
sion and treaty violation have gone
hand in hand as the interlocking
elements of their system.
Attacks Violated Treaties.
"In succession the attacks, all in
violation of former treaties and OF
international law, upon Manchuria
North China, South China, Ethiopia
Spain, Austria, zecho-Slovakia anC
Lithuania, have made clear the rev.
olutionary nature of the change
with which we are now confronted
They have shown to even the most
reluctant critic that this new sys-
tenn is not a matter of domestic
government or idealogy. as we now
call it. but is reversal of the
whole system of international prac-
tice in the world.
1.-THE problem is further compli-
Gated by the fact that these three
powerful nations occupy strategical.
ly very favorable positions for theil
attacks upon most of their peace
loving neighbors. If there were only
one of them, the problem for thu
whole world would not be so serious
But the three are acting skillfully
together, and geography has placee
them with such relation to the line
