The resolution, which was unanimously approved by the committee last week, specifically enumerates articles of warfare against which an export ban would become operative under the declaration of war by any nation. The ban could be re- moved only by act of Congress. Representative Burton, Republican, Ohio, who was selected by the commit- tee to set forth its views on the resolu- tion, of which he is the author, said in the report that the enactment of the proposal would constitute a “declaration on the part of the United States that we do not desire that our citizens should participate in the profits de- rived from the furnishing of imple- ments of destruction.” Mr. Burton pointed out that among | The Hague provisions is one that war- |ships of belligerént nations are for- bidden to “evictual * * * in neutral ports except o bring up their supplies © peace standards,” and that such war- ships were forbidden o remain in neu- tral ports for longer than 24 hours. and | he resolution secks to harmonize {the Inury of this country in the fur- nishing of military supplies to certain | regulations pertaining U naval war- |fare,” he declared. “It is thought also ‘lel this will be a restraining influ- | ence when nations are about to embark {in war, and it 1s hoped that other coun- |tries may, should this become & law, |adopt similar regulations.” Both Mr. Burton and Chairman Por- {lution as a step in the direction of world peace.
