Couldn't Estimate Cargo.
Up until the finals hours before
the boat sailed, DR.. Mann could
not estimate his return cargo. The
ZOOS at Buenos Aires and La Plata
had submitted lists. DR.. Mann had
brought them gifts in the form of
buffalos, bald eagles. Texas wolves,
etc, and they, knowing the game,
reciprocated not only generously, but
we'll in advance of the sailing date.
However, in six weeks of travel
about Argentina, to Cordoba, Bari
loche, Patagonia. and various
points between, Dr. Mann made
many friends - fellow scientists,
amateur collectors, politicians, police
officials, diplomats, travellers, execu-
tives of public parks, publishers and
owners Of great estancias.
Many, upon learning he was COL
lecting birds, beasts and reptiles
native to the Argentine, made veiled
illusions to surprises they might
send as going-away present. DR..
Mann, bound by courtesy not to be
too specific, nevertheless, talked
with enthusiasm about certain rare
species, which. he hoped, would ably
represent the Argentine at the
Washington Zoo. If he asked too
many questions, the prospective
donors said:
"Ah, but please do not trouble
yourself with details-just leave
them to mel"
Mass of Red Tape.
But there were export permits to
be obtained, diversified food to be
bought and loaded, along with
equipment for watering and feed
ing There were United States i'm
port restrictions to think Of; the
steamship company wanted an es-
innate in advance on what space
would be required.
In the last hours, DR.. and Mrs.
Mann, aided by the Consular Serv-
ice, fretted over details while their
two assistants strolled about the
ship, exclaiming with pleasure at
each new addition to the growing
menagerie on the freight deck.
The complications soon were
ironed out, however, and the Brazil
weighed anchor and pointed her
prov to the North.
We rapidly became accustomed to
the routine Of caring for the menag-
erie and, except for visceral discom-
fort occasioned by excessive rolling
and tossing of the vessel, everything
was shipshape-until the boat
docked in Rio.
Then I heard this conversation
What, more animals?"

tapirs, a giant ant-eater, few wild
cats and curassows, some tree
ducks and -"

uuUUHCCu.
By the Associated Press.
Congress, preparing to debate
neutrality. faces a wide variety of
choices. 1t may:
l. Let the present act continue
and extend permanently or for a
period Of years the cash and carry"
provision which expires May /. This
provision empowers the President
to require that sales Of supplies to
belligerents be for cash and be
shipped In the buyers vessels.
2. Extend cash and carry" tran
Sactions to include arms and i'm
plements of war which now are
embargoed automatically when the
President finds that a state of war
exists.
3. Increase the Presidents dis
cretionary power by directing him
to apply the act not only when
he found q state OF war to exist,
but also when he found 1t to the
best interests of the United States
to do so.
4. Provide an embargo against an
aggressor nation. at least on arms,
and enforce none against its in
tended victim.
S. Repeal the act altogether and
leave the Nation without any neu-
trality legislation. relying on the
good sense Of the President and the
State Department.
| Although the administration has
not expressed q specific preference,
there have been indications that it
might support choice No. 2-extend-
ing cash and carry" transactions
to armaments. Chairman Pittman,
Democrat, Of Nevada. OF the Foreign
Relations Committee Is sponsoring
the proposal.
In these days Of war and the
threat OF war, = number OF legisla-
tors want provisions which could be
applied against aggressor nations.
These men say that to enforce neu-
trality equally between two belliger-
ent nations when one is proved to
be the aggressor is not being neutral.
Furthermore, they argue, 1t would
be dangerous II the case concerned
= strong nation whose victory might
make 1t = potential enemy OF the
United States. They would have
the arms embargoes applied only
against the aggressor and would
permit the would-be victim to OBJ
tain supplies from this country.
Opponents of this view contend
that 1t is extremely difYicult in
many cases to determine the az
gressor. The nation which first de-
clares war might we'll be the one
which was provoked into it.
-. Work TO Avoid War.
These persons also argue that the
primary purpose of neutrality legis-
lation was not to make US fair or
unfair to any nation or group of
nations but to keep us out of war.
The proponents of the idea reply
that this type Of legislation would
keep us out Of war by keeping the
world at peace. They say that q
would-be aggressor would think
twice as long before making war If
1t knew in advance that the eco
nomic resources Of the United States
would be available to his enemy
and denied to him.
Probably the principal discussion
In the forthcoming debate will CEN
ter on how much discretion the
President should be given In apply
ing the act. Administration fol-
lowers want to allow the President
~ d{cnpAti4vn
that he can act quickly in times
Of emergency.
Many members of Congress, on
the other hand, want some degree
Of mandatory application. They
argue that 1t would be dangerous to
give the President a permanent
green light at 4 time when the
worlds trafac Is full of political
perils.
