Neutrality
Continued From First Page)

mony of Dr. William Y. Elliott Of
the faculty of Harvard University,
now serving with o. P. NJ. who told
the Senators it has become essential
to send ships through combat zones
to bring to this country strategic
materials needed in building up the
defenses of the United States.
This furnished administration
supporters with an argument more
difficult for the isolationistS to meet
than the issue of using American
ships to carry needed supplies to
Great Britain and Russia.
Expects Long Debate.
Earlier, Senator Nye, Republican, Of
North Dakota, isolationist, predicted
the bill could pass next week if held
to ship arming. If any greater de-
gree of neutrality repeai Is at
tempted, he suggested the debate
might run three or four weeks.
A broad repeal bill, Senator Nye
said, probably would be regarded by
opponents of the administration S
foreign policy as offering them their
last chance" to debate the issues
of the war freely. In that event, he
said. there might be 96 speeches,
one by each Senator.
A different view was suggested
however. by friends of Republican
Leader McNary of oregon. AL
though he is opposed to changing
the Neutrality Act as it stands, he
was said to hold the view that under
present conditions debate should not
run longer than two weeks, even on
amendments
A favorable sign for the hackers
of the bill came today in the an
nouncement by Senator Hatch
Democrat, of New Mexico that he
would vote for outright repeal OF
the Neutrality Act. He said he has
Just reached the conclusion that
would be the fairer way to go about
it,
The administration started out in
the House to get quick action on the
sole question of lifting the ban on
arming of merchant ships, then ask
ing separately for the lifting of COM
bat zones and the restriction against
American ships going to belligerent
ports.
G. o. P. Faction Asks Repeal.
Led by Wendell L. Willkie, their
1910 presidential candidate, group
of Republicans launched a drive
this week for outright repeal, to
leave the administration free tc
make lease-lend aid more effective
1t has since developed that there
are number of Senators who would
go along on outright repeal but not
for limited repeal. On the other
hand, some of those vino favor linn
tied revision would not support COM
plete repeal.
According to Senator Nye, it will
take four months to carry out the
work of placing defensive guns on
200 merchant ships. This time fac
tor is one argument advanced for
limiting the bill to that subject in
order to pass it more promptly.
Discussing the possibility of a
long drawn out debate on amend
ments to repeal other parts of the
law, Senator Pepper contended to-
day that if the Senate should find
itself facing an impasse. President
Roosevelt could, under the Neutral
ity Act as it stands. restore freedom
of the seas for American ships by
modifying or lifting the proclama-
tions by which he established the
combat zones

There was little specific news, even
from Berlin, to support the vague
Nazi claim that Moscow's zero hour
was approaching.

Other reports indicated that mud,
snow and rain had begged down fluid
action in the gigantic conflicts
around both Moscow and Leningrad.
Advices reaching London said the
Germans were rushing reinforce
ments to the central front, massing
for final all-out assault as soon as

The Russians admitted a Nazi
spearhead had reached the vicinity
of Makeevka, 10 miles east of Ger

Nazis we're attacking strongly around
Taganrog, 80 miles west of Rostov.

II is quite possible that this
energetic and handsome young
director let himself in for too much
when he tackled two such impor-
tant works for performance on the
same program. Doing one alone
without score is man-sized job
for any great director, but the
combination is a little too heavy
for both performer and listener.

questioned the justice Of caring lib

to know how many of the IN. P.s"
now in Veterans Administration

more out Of the ordinary than life

The fact is that the majority of
these men never should have been

were foredoomed to crack" Either
they had unstable nervous systems
or personality patterns which could
not possibly be adapted to the
discipline of service. But this was
matter which received no attention
from the draft boards or recruiting
officers of 1917. They rejected only
the obviously feeble minded or the
obviously insane. Practically no at

no techniques available-for sorting

Can this mistake be avoided again?
Not entirely. Techniques still are
very deficient. They have improved
in twenty years, however, to the
point where probably one-half of the
probable psychopaths can be elimi-
mated before ever putting on uni
forms. A group of some of the
foremost psychiatrists in the United
States has been discussing this ques-
ton in Washington during the past

Argues That bad Laws"
Must Be Repealed for Recovery.

To the Editor of The Star:
Recovery from the devastating wars
now being waged in Europe and Asia
will be much more quickly made than
is generally recognized or thought pos
sible, provided that bad laws are re-
pealed and that real freedom is given
chance.
The bad laws to be repealed include
all special privileges granted to any
section of our population at &he ex-
pense of all others. To be specific, all
taxes upon imports, all subsidies to
agriculture, all legislation favoring la
Dor unions, such as the National Labor
Relations Act, must be repealed and as
quickly thereafter as possible all taxes
now levied upon capital and labor must
also be repealed Natural law is in
exorable and cannot be nullified by
legislation. The pitiable attempt to
promote prosperity by minimum wage
laws and laws regulating hours of labor
will have to be understood before real
progress can be accomplished. But the
enormously increased power of wealth
production resulting from the intro
duction of labor saving machinery and
improved methods of transportation
during recent decades will make pos
sible the establishment of substantial
prosperity within a third of the time
that would have been required even
few decades ago. The rule must be
special privileges to none"

Woshinqton Headquarters

With the passing of time it becomes
more notably evident that Washing
ton is the natural focal point OF the
economic, industrial and commercial
life of the Nation. The announce
ment of the purchase of home Tor
the American Chemical Society at
Sixteenth and NJ streets northwest
merely serves to illustrate the princl-
pie which is at work. 1t seems lndl-
Gated that within a few years, at the
most a few decades, practically every
national organization of consequence
in the United States will establish
headquarters here.
The advantages of such a develop
ment are obvious when it is remem-
bered that washington is not merely
the seat of the Federal Government
but also the center of many supple
mentary activities sponsored by or
related to the Government. 1t is
part of the character of the Capital
that it should be a cultural magnet
of a sort, drawing to itself such
foundations as the Folger Shake
speare Library and the National or
Mellon Gallery of Art, the latter
already enriched by the gifts of the
Kress collection, coming from New
York, and the Widener collection,
from Philadelphia.
Again, it happens that Washington
has the innate power to generate
important educational institutions of
national significance. The National
Geographic Society, organized in
1888, is an example. Numerous others
might be cited.
The American Chemical Society,
specifically, has had business with the
Government and with auXiliarles OF
the Government since it was formed
in 1876. It's membership of twenty
six thousand chemists and chemical
engineers is an American profess
sional group engaged in endeavors
of the very highest consequence in
a period of keen industrial and polit-
ical rivalrieS. Perhaps the fate of
democracy may be decided in a
laboratory rather than on battle
field. Repeatedly it has been Sug-
gested that chemistry might make
war too dangerous to be hazarded.
Similarly, it has been proposed that
chemistry might show the way
toward a solution of the problem of
decreasing natural resources. Much
already has been accomplished by
chemists who have realized the
opportunities of genius in world
no longer overrich in wealth to be
had for the taking. 1t is good to
think that further advances along
the same lines may result from the
researches which hereafter will be
brought to an apex in the national
headquarters of the chemical fra
ternity in the city where every Amer
lean is at home.

and has been substantially main
tanned. The hardships suffered in
Germany during the first war winter
by the populations of the great cities
were due chiefly to an unprecedent-
edly severe winter which disrupted
transportation and froze foodStuffs
in transit to the markets. Perhaps
only a disciplined and docile popula-
ton like that of present-day Ger

Nevertheless, it has averted the NAL
