Committee Told
Economic Pressure Could
Tie Up Army, Fenwick
Says in Hearing
BACKGROUND

Early in the current congress-
sional session a driue began for
an amendment to our neutrality
legislation. At hearings before
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee former Secretary OF
State Stimson urged legislation
that Would give the President
greater discretionary po1Uer in its
application.
By the Associated Press.
The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee was advised today that
economic pressure by the United
States could tie up the japanese
Army in China.
"If we cut the flow of war ma
terials to Japan" said DR.. Charles
G. Fenwick, professor of interna-
tional law at Bryn Mawr, "the
Japanese war machine would prob
ably bog down in a few weeks"
In the present situation in the
Orient, DR.. Fenwick said. the pres
ent law would have worked so badly
that it was not invoked He added
that while we have continued to
sell arms to China we have also
supplied raw materials to Japan.
"Our people don't realize that it
Is we who made made it possible for

could not keep it out of war, moth

serve either to deter Europe from
war or to bring about the victory of

Mr.. Thomas recommended that
the Neutrality Act be tightened by
imposing a peacetime ban on trade

other raw materials in excess of
peacetime quotas.
ut should be set down as funda
mental in American foreign policy
today" Mr.. Thomas asserted, that
we have no right to plan for
economic warfare unless we expect
military warfare Any statement to
the contrary is born either of a
dangerous optimism or, in some
cases, of a deliberate desire to fool
the people into entering war by easy
stages

Smart GROOMING

Regardless of her makeup and
the way she wears the rest of her
clothes, the woman whose shoes
and stockings aren't neat and trim
just isn't perfectly groomed.
Crooked seams, turnover heels, I'M
brushed suede or unpublished kid
skin will spoil the appearance of
any otherwise smart costume.
Gone are the days when every
other woman had perfect right
to say. Il never can get stockings
the right length or find sheer ones
which will give fair service"
Now, if you are diligent in your
search. it's possible to find sheer
stockings that will wear and wear
and wear. That is. if you ask for
the right size in the first place.
And, of course, several of the hos
iery manufacturers put out long,
medium and short lengths in each
shade they feature. BY all means
ask for special length. If your
stockings are too short, your gar
ters will stretch and pull and
weaken the threads. If they're too
long. they'll wrinkle easily.
i Naturally, it's mistake to wear
ultra sheer, one or two-thread
stockings to the office or on a
hike through the fields. or even on
a strenuous shopping tour, Such
fragile hose are for dancing and
dress-up. Buy three-thread ones
for ordinary. day in and day out
wear. and four-thread types for
golf, the country, riding and the
like.
Always remember to wash stock
ings Immediately after each wear
ing. Don't wait until the next
morning. II you want the stock
ings to wear we'll wash them be-
fore going TO bed. New ones ought
TO he rinsed in lukewarm water
and allowed TO dry thoroughly be-
fore being worn even once.
Keeping toensils short and
smooth and backs of heels free
from callouses will add days 10 the
life OF your stockings. Putting
them on correctly-that is. rolling
them down. smoothing them over
feet, then rolling instead of pulling
them upwards a help. too.
