They feared that the war would send this year's business | into the cellar. 1 One debutante, Miss Louisa Clem- | ent, gave the $1500 which her grand- mother had allotted for the coming- out party to British aid. This was fine for Britain, but bad news for the social business. Then the tide began to turn. A | fortnight after the election, Mrs. William Laird Dunlop staged the Black and White Ball. That broke the ice. War-born nervousness be- gan to disappear. Wavering mamas decided to go through with daugh- ters’ parties after all. And now restraints seem definite- ly lifted and the parties are getting really lavish. Champagne is being uncorked with gay abandon, and the professional social secretaries are happily amazed. “It's going to be the gayest season in years" they say, “gayer than anything since the depression.” WAR CREDIT BARRIERS Mere repeal of the Johnson Act won't clear the way for financial | aid to Britain. There is another | burdle that seems to have been generally forgotten — Section 7 of the revised Neutrality Act passed by Congress just a year ago. ‘ This clause extends the credit ban to all countries, regardless of wheth- er they are in default or not, which have been officially declared to be at war. By its language the section makes it unlawful for any “person” in the United States to “purchase, sell, or exchange bonds, securities or other obligations” of a belligerent However, lgal experts are in doubt whether these prohibitions apply to the Government. Neither Jaw speci- fically says so. Their only expres§ ban is against private citizens en- gaged in foreign financing The Johnson Act, for example, explicitly defines “person” to mean an “individual, partnership, corpor- ation, or association other than a public corporation . . . created by After a bad beginning, Washing- Congress, or a corporation in which | ing to legend.
