PRESIDENT SAYS NEUTRAL
ACT MAY CAUSE WAR
WASHINGTON. March 10. —
President Roosevelt said Tuesday
that the Neutrality Act had not
served the cause of peace, in fact,
that it may have encouraged some
nations to threats of war. When
asked if he advocated the repeal of
the law, he replied that the ques-
tion was not on the carpet.
As for his statement that the
law had encouraged threats of war,
it was well known that some ad-
ministration officials believed Ad-
olf Hitler was strengthened during
the crisis of last Fall by the fact
that the law would largely have
prevtnted his opponents in dase of
war, from drawing upon the rich
resources of America.
The law provides that when the
President finds a state of war to
exist he shall invoke the act and
draw up a list of materals of war
which thereafter may not be ex-
ported to either warring nation.
Other suppies may be purchased, if
bought for cash and carried away
in non-American ships. The latter
clause, known as the "cash and
carry provision," is due to expire
in Maty
Roosevelt also flatly asserted his
opposition to a national referen-
dum vote prior to a declaration of
war—a proposal with powerful
backing in Congress. Such a re-
quirement, he told his press con-
freence, might easily impair the
defense of the country. In addition
lie said that the representative
form of government of the United
States should apply to a war situa-
tion as well as any other type of
action. Any step taken by the
President, he said, was subject to
congregational control.
The bill passed oy the Senate,
by a vote of 77 to 8, authorizes an
expenditure of $358,000,000 cn the
Army, $300,000,OOo of which is to
go to the air crops to bring its
strength to 6,000 first class planes
and increase its personnel.
