Wheeler Demands
Congress Remain
In Session
Soys Domestic Problems
Should Be Disposed Of
After Neutrality Bill
Bv ]. A, O'LEARY.

A demand that Congress remain
in session after neutrality is disposed
of to tackle domestic problems, as
well as to help keep this country
from being drawn into the war, was
made last night by Senator Wheeler,
Democrat, of Montana.
The general opinion at the Capt.
tol, however, Is that administration
forces will have no difnculty putting
through the Senate resolution for
immediate adjournment after action
on neutrality is complete.
In the House. there Is believed to
be more sentiment for remaining in
session, although it may not be suf-
f1cient to prevent passage Of an ad-
journmenter solution.
Martin Opposes Adjournment.
Representative Martin of Massa-
chusetts, the minority leader, made
known yesterday he is opposed to
adjournment and believes this view
Is shared by some Democrats as we'll
as by the Republicans. Mr.. Martin re-
ferred to national defense and un-
finished railroad legislation as sub
jects Congress could deal with now.
He said:
Il think it far better for Congress
to remain here and deal with the
national defense problem now. If
we wait for two months, we will be
just that much behind. The Presi-
dent has said that an emergency
exists, and certainly we are face to
face with an economic emergency, if
nothing else There are many things
Congress could do, among them
completion of railroad legislation. ."
The section of the Constitution
empowering the President to call
the House and Senate into session
on extraordinary occasions also pro-
vides that in the event they disagree
with respect to the time of adjourn
ment. he may adjourn them to such
time as he shall think proper. There
are no definite indications yet, how
ever, such disagreement will de-
velop, and, in any event, the constitu-
tional power referred to would be
purely discretionary.
May Ask Leaders to Stay.
At the same time. some lawmakers
are specializing on the possibility
that President Roosevelt may ask
House and Senate leaders to remain
here after adjournment to consult
with him on any emergency ques-
tions that may arise during the re-
cess. There was an intimation of
this following the White House con-
ference preceding the session.
Senator Wheeler listed railroad
legislation. farm relief and unem-
ployment as issues to which Con-
gress could turn its attention during
the next two months and thereby
avoid legislative rush on the eve
of the national political conventions
next year.
There Is so much hysteria, with
everybody thinking about the war
in Europe. that if we are going to
preserve democracy in the United
States, We better think about get
J ting 10000 900 persons of relief and
back to work." Senator Wheeler
said.

this country out of war. There are
people who say we are going to get
in this war if it keeps up. I don't
think we ought to be stampeded by
European propaganda, and I don't
think there is any necessity of our
getting into it"
Commenting on the possibility Of
House and Senate leaders remaining
in Washington, Senator Wheeler
said he does not view that as an
adequate alternative to keeping
Congress in session.
Il think" he continued. lit would
be beneficial to the Democratic
party if we stayed here and disposed
of internal problems. and then ad
journ early for the coming elections.
Il think the country generally
would feel better if Congress were
in session during the next few
months while these crises are hap

claimed combat zone around
them.
Shipping Would Be Damaged.
Obviously, American shipping
would be damaged by the bill, al
though some Senators contend it
might recover business lost in Euro
pean waters by expanded operations
elsewhere.
Before the proposed restrictions
were amended. the Maritime Com
mission estimated that l30 dry cargo,
combination or passenger vessels
would have to be withdrawn from
service. Operations of is others
would be changed and 100 to ITO
more would be affected, some seri-
ously.
Comparison with the original
Senate bill indicates that at least
A vessels in the Australasian. In
dian. Persian Gulf, Red Sea. African
and Caribbean trade would be free
under the new bill to continue
operations. Perhaps 10 more would
be freed unless combat zones were
closed around the Mediterranean
and Black Sea and the Baltic and
Scandinavian areas.
Still, according to the Maritime
Commission estimates. rs ships
would be put out of commission by
the new bill.
Travel Would Be Restricted.
Not only shipping but travel would
be restricted. Gen. John j.. Persh-
ing, for instance. would not be per-
mitted to go to France on an Ameri-
can ship for his customary pill
grimage to American battlefields.
He could make the trip on a neu-
trail or belligerent vessel if the State
Department decided that the voyage
was necessary.
Already the State Department has
refused permission to visit bel
igerent countries except for ex-
traordinary reasons.
That probably means your Aunt
Emma must go to Bermuda, Canada.
Mexico. South America, Hong Kong.
Tahiti or Hawaii instead of to the
south of France this year.
Most OF the shipping restrictions
apply to surface vessels and planes
alike.
Other provisions of the bill which
would not apply to American re-
publics unless they. like Canada, CO.
operated with American states
in war, include requirements that:
Credits to warning governments
be prohibited; title to most exports
intended for such governments be
transferred before shipping: foreign
| ships not fly the American flag:
and that American merchant ships
not be armed except with small
arms.

way He expressed the hope that
in the end the House would back up
the Vorys amendment as it did last
summer. At that time. he said, the
proponents of repeal were claiming
victory by 80 votes.
I'VE beat them with a lead of II
votes he added.
Even if the Vorys amendment
were written into the bill, it would
be possible, it was pointed out yes
terday, to sell airplanes to the bel
| ligerent nations. For the Vorys
amendment did not include 'imple-
! ments of war" in its embargo pro-
visions, as does the existing law.
Martin Mum on Outcome.
However, if the House insisted on
the Vorys amendment, it would in
all probability bring a deadlock. The
administration would not agree to
such legislation.
Representative Martin would make
no prediction regarding the outcome
of the fight. He said he was max
ing no effort whatever to make q
partisan issue of the embargo fight
Mr.. Fish admitted that more Re-
publicans would, in all probability
vote for repeal of the embargo than
last summer, when only six were
recorded in the vote on the Vorys
amendment. He said. however, he
did not believe more than IA would
support repeal. Also, he said, if a
similar percentage of Democrats in
the House voted as did the Senate
Democrats against repeal, the fight
against repeal would be won. In the
Senate, IL Democrats voted against
the administration bill.
The administration plan is for a
quick adjournment of Congress as
soon as the neutrality bill has been
disposed of. Minority Leader Mar
tin yesterday declared he was plan
ming to fight adjournment, however
on the ground Congress should re-
main in session during the emer-
gency proclaimed by the President,
He predicted that practically all the
Republicans of the House would
vote with him when he demands q
roll call on an adjournment reso-
luton, and that a number Of Dem
ocrats would support him, too.
Drastic Difference.
The neutrality bill passed by the
Senate differs drastically from the
Bloom bill which the House put
through last summer. Not only does
1t repeal absolutely the arms en-
bargo, but it also carries a CASH
and-carry plan, restrictions on the
operations of American merchant
ships and authority for the Presi-
dent to specify combat zones into
which Americans and American
ships may not 60.
All OF these provisions will be at
issue, on the surface at least. be-
tween the two Houses when the bill
goes to conference. But administra-
tlonists from both branches will
dominate the conference commit
tee and it is expected that in the
end the conference bill will follow
IN large part-if not altogether
the Senate measure.
