country into war. H. Iouid Lincoln.
President Roosevelt and the meas
ure's supporters tell the country, on
the other hand, that the enactment
of the proposed new law means
peace.
Senators hostile to the plan were
quick to pick up the Presidents
gauntlet. In fact. they said they
did not think that the declaration of
the President, made at. a White
House press conference, that he de-
sired the passage of the neutrality
bill had affected the situation one
bit. They are prepared to 60 right
ahead with the consideration of the
measure-if and when it is reported
out Of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee. Some of them, partic-
ularly Senator Borah of Idaho, are
anxious for the country to be fully
informed regarding the measure.
Indeed, it is the belief of the
veteran Borah that once the people
get the full implications of the ad-
ministration's move, there will be
wave of public sentiment against
1t. 1t is his opinion that If the
United States now embarks on
course that will effectively ally
this country with European powers
"a step which will be regarded as
an alliance. he is confident-our
traditional foreign policy will have
been knocked into cooked hat. The
United States will have become
part OF the recognized balance of
power; it will be forced to take its
part in all the intrigues of the
European chancelleries.
The argument of the President is
that If Congress waits until after
hostilities have broken out in Europe
OF I'm Asia (other than the struggle
nov going on between China and
Japan to change the Neutrality
Act, we will surely become involved,
since any change then would be re-
garded by one side or the other as
an unneutral act. Senator Borah,
Senator Clark Of Missouri, Senator
Vandenberg of Michigan and others
in the group fighting change now
insist that to follow the administra-
tons plan would have the full effect
OF aligning us with one side of a
potential conflict without any fur
ther delay.
The Presidents announcement
that he would cancel his projected
trip to the West Coast until after
Congress has finished its work and
adjourned Is regarded as tantamount
to declaration he wasaprepared to
fight for this neutrality legislation
If it takes all summer; that he is
going to bring the full force of his

own influence to bear to get action
on the measure.
The repeal Of the mandatory arms
embargo is the real meat of the
whole controversy. The administra-
tion's bill. known now as the Bloom
bill, which rather irks some Of the
Senators who believe that the Senate
should take first place in dealing
with foreign affairs, has many other
important provisions 1t would re-
quire, for example, that title to all
goods bought in this country for
nation at war must be transferred
to the purchaser before the goods
left these shores This is known as
the "cash-and-carry" provision. Also
the bill gives the President the right
to proclaim combat areas" from
which American ships and citizens
could be barred. or their movements
restricted. 1t bars loans and credits
to belligerent nations, etc.
AS the law now stands, in the event
Of a declared war the President Is
directed to place in effect an en-
barge against the shipment of arms
and munitions to the belligerent ma
tions from the United States. The
President has not put such an en-
barge into effect so far as China
and Japan are concerned-although
what resembles war has been going
on there for long time. Techni-
cally, Japan is conducting "land-
ing party" to protect it's nationals
in China. At least that is the reason
given for her entry into China. In
international law, a nation may land
its armed forces if situation arises
in another country where the gov
ernment is unable to protect the
nationals of the first nation.
So the embargo has not been in
voked against shipments of arms
and munitions to China and Japan.
And the President is technically in
the right, it is said, in not halting
such shipments. or invoking other
provisions Of the Neutrality Act.
Admittedly the situation in the Far
East is most complicated, with
American forces also In China and
Chinese waters to protect American
citizens and their rights.
Members of the Senate today are
viewing the situation in China with
great seriousness. To many of them,
1t is filled with dynamite, far more
dangerous to the peace of America
than anything that has been threat
ened in Europe. Those who now
resent the effort to bring this coun-
try into what amounts to an under
standing-if not an alliance-with
Great Britain, are saying If that
nation had stood side by side with
the United States in its protest
against Japanese action in Man
chukuo, the present condition in
