lending programs i940 fiscal year shot in the arm for business-is tc be introduced in Congress this week But much of the fire has been drawn from that dispute by Mir Roosevelt's willingness to abandon his demand for direct appropriation of funds for foreign loans.
 N But no other issue pending has the explosive force of neutrality. The nub of the question is whether the United States shall sell arms, am- munity and implements of war to belligerent states. The present law automatically would apply an em- bargo upon proclamation by the president that two or more foreign nations were at war. The House con- sidered the administration proposal to abandon that potential embargo but voted, finally, to maintain 1t on arms and ammunition but abandon it on implements of war. That lan- guage would permit the United States to sell airplanes, for instance, to belligerents, but would forbid sale of weapons to arm them.
 Before Committee
 The House bill and other neutral fly proposals now are before the Senate foreign relations committee. It will meet tomorrow and may be asked to vote then on motion to postpone the whole question until next session--a maneuver the admin >istration is determined to prevent despite the certainty of filibuster If ! neutrality bill acceptable to MT Roosevelt comes to the Senate floor Sen. Hiram W. Johnson, R., Calf. announced last week that 34 senators had agreed, in effect, to talk the bill xo death if the administration spresses it.
 Repeal of the embargo would be Substantially an alliance of the United States with Great Britain and France and with Soviet Russia too, if the latter joins the Paris-Lon- don axis" Sen. Bennett c.

If and when high admin istration officials-such as Secre- tary of Labor Frances Perkins, for i1stance--start. issuing public state ments that the prospects for labor peace are hopeless, you can expect the presidents appeal to follow. But as long as Miss Perkins keeps mak- ing optimistic statements like the one she recently made in Denver, you can take 1t for granted that the move is still under considera- ton"
 Miss Perkins, apparently, has stopped trying to get William Green and John Lewis together and Is re- lying on Dan Tobin and Sidney TIillman. Incidentally, one observer close to the situation has suggested that the best way to bring about peace would be to stop talking about 1t: Lewis, he remarks, likes to see politicians squirm, and will post pone the reopening of negotiations as long as high new dealers exhibit their anxiety publicly.
 Anyway, new dealers feel that the president can force a settlement If he wants to take drastic action. They build this feeling principally on the fact that letters and tele- grams representing the feelings of more than 3000,0o0 union members have been received at the White House and Labor Department in the laat few months calling for an end to hostilities
