In response. Charles O'Neill Of

Mr.. Lewis indicated that proposal

Act prohibit the sale Of munitions
to warning nations.
Senator Pittman made 1t plain,
however, that he would favor only
temporary re-enactment of the
"cash-and-carry" section on this
basis, probably for so days, while
the whole controversy over neu-
trality Is being threshed out by
Congress.
Discussing the Post editorial at his
press conference, the President said
he almost fell out of bed when he
read it. Mr. Roosevelt ordered the
editorial inserted in the minutes of
his press conference.
Referring to the Presidents state
ment Sunday at Warm Springs, Ga.
that "Ill be back in the fall, If
we don't have war;" the editoria,
said another World War could be
averted If the free nations were
willing to show that they will take
stand before 1t is too late"
ITO make the dictators realize that
there Is a limit to unresisted az
erosion is in itself to set that limit, "
it continued.
Britain and France are now acting
on that principle, the editorial
pointed out, and concluded:
1T is on that reasoning, through
the application of which peace can
still be saved, that President Roose-
welt properly links the United States
with the 11th-hour effort to avert q
shattering disaster"
La Toilette Comments.
Senator La Toilette, Progressive
Of Wisconsin said he felt the Pres
ident's reaction to the editorial
showed the need for mandatory neu-
trality legislation and provision fol
popular referendum on the ques-
ton of declaring war.
While the President spoke, news
dispatches from London were saying
that Prime Minister Chamberlain
was pursuing an appeasement policy
toward Premier Mussolini, having
decided to give him lone more
chance" to keep the peace. Whether
Mr.. Roosevelt knew of this British
decision when he pointed to the edi-
torial. and whether his words would
tend to strengthen the British atti-
tude toward the dictators remained
undetermined.
The President previously had re-
fused at his press conference to
comment on the European situation
His only remarks on foreign affairs
were confined to approving the
project, announced Monday by Sem
ator Byrnes. Democrat, of South
Carolina for exchanging American
surplus cotton and wheat for stra-
tegic war materials of other coun-
tries.

Neutrality Agreement
Seen, With Roosevelt
Backing World Lineup
Stop-Gop Re-enoctment Of
Gosh Garry Clause
Wins Substantial Favor
BACKGROUND


Increasing danger OF war IN
Europe and fact that cash and
carry" section of neutrality law
expires on May has precipttated
scramble In Congress for ~ re-
pealng law, ~ Strengthening
la,o, ~ extending laU as 1t noto
stands. President RooseDelt has
let 1t be known he Mould prefer
repeal or increased discretionary
authority in foreign policy.
B. the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt's warm in
dorsement of declaration that
free nations" of the world should
make q deliberate show of strength
to prevent war conceded today with
evidences of Senatorial agreement
on temporary neutrality legislation.
Opposing Senate forces, which
long have disputed whether neu-
trality legislation attained its end
or actually bred foreign troubles,
seemed to be almost agreed on stop
gap re-enactment of the expiring
cash and carry" clause Of the pres
ent Neutrality Act.
Mr.. Roosevelt said yesterday at
his press conference that an edi-
torial in the Washington Post was
good, clear and honest in saying,
among other things. that nothing
less than a show of preponderant
force" would impress Italy and Ger
many in their ambitious efforts to
expand
Panicky Legislation Hit.
The editorial, with emphasis on
"panicky legislation" designed to
keep America isolated, said:
Most Americans realize today
that the sweep of events has now
brought Europe to. the very verge
of war. What is insufficiently real
lied is the tremendous implications
of the impending catastrophe for
every citizen of this country
On the question of how to avert
war, the editorial said:
Pressure from the Berlin Rome
axis will not ease until it reaches
the point of serious resistance. Then
only can a different and honestly
conciliatory attitude be expected
from the dictators.
Nothing less than a show of
preponderant force will stop them,
for force is the only language which
they understand. But, like less ex-
allied DULLES, force is to them a
real deterrent"
May Be Encouraging War.
A direct result of Mr.. Roosevelt S
Endorsement of the show of force"
idea was a complaint from Senator
Nye, Republican. of North Dakota
who said it demonstrated "a possible
determination on the part of the
President not only to join Europe
but to encourage Europe to under
take war;
Senator Nye announced he would
try to amend the cash and carry
clause to place all supplies, except
arms and ammunition, on this basis
A compromise spirit was shown by
Chairman Pittman Of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee in say
ing he would not oppose such ar
amendment.
Representative Crawford, Repub.
lican, of Michigan. urged the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, mean
while. to write into the neutrality
law a provision for an embargo or
shipments of scrap iron OF warning
nations. He said America was fur.
nishing the dictator nations with
scrap for war horses on which tt
ride over the weaker nations"
