U. 5. NEUTRALITY ROOSEVELT'S AIM Star Carrier Boys Taken on Annual Outing Continues *“Good-Neighbor” Policy in Ethiopian Controversy. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. President Roosevelt aims to keep the United States aloof in the Italo- Ethiopian dispute, and to continue its policy of a “‘good neighbor. In the opinion of Mr. Roosevelt, the African controversy is no concern of the United States. This attitude was made known frankly by the President yesterday at his press conference. when in answer to a question as to what was to be done by his administration to keep the United States out of war. he gave .a succinct definition of his foreign policy, with special reference to FEthiopia. Unable to Explain At the same time. even though the President did speak with candor, he explained that to answer fully the question as to what was beinz done about keeping out of war, would re- quire an hour or so. However, he then attempted to give a general definition of his foreign policy in a few words . The President pointed out that the first place. there are two main points to be observed. He said that in one of these is to follow a policy of | the “good neighbor.” designed for the maintenance of friendly relations with all nations. The other main point he said. was to see to it that the diplomatic agencies of this Govern- ment keep the United States from becoming involved in specific cases that did directly cor the United States. He added that despite avoid becom versics such as now thr there to be cor ence of personal Amcrican citizens.

Attacked. The President’s views came after hostility to the regime of Reichs- fuehrer Adolf Hitler of Germany had been expressed in Congress two con- eecutive dave Senator King, Democrat. of Utah esked for an inquiry by the Foreign Relations Committee into the treat- ment accorded Jewish and Catholic residents of Germany. Under King's resolution the committee. with $5,000 to spend. would inquire “into charges that Jewish citizens have been denied their political and civil rights and have been compelled to leave Ger- many.” The day before Representative Dick- stein, Democrat, of New York de- scribed Hitler as a “madman” with an “insane” theory of government. A delegation representing the Amer- fean Jewish Committee, American Jewish Congress. B'nai Brith and the Jewisn Labor Committee called on William Phillips, Undersecretary State, yesterday to protest persecu- tion of Jews in Germany Introduced by Representative Bloom, Democrat, of New York, the delega- tion asked that the Government take all steps consistent with international practice to inform the German gov- ernment of the “outraged sentiment of the American people.” In a memorandum the delegation econtended that persecution in Ger- many has led already to the emi- gration of 90,000 refugees, and as- serted that “this reign of terror is Hitler Ts beginning to affect the lives of num-| berless Catholics and Protestants and | liberals of every description to whom the German government is denying the elementary rights of religion and conscience.” With Representative Bloom were Carl J. Austrian, Sidney Wallach, Louis Lipsky, Dr. Samuel Margoshes, Louis Fabricant. M. D. Rosenberg, Joseph Schlossberg and Nathan Chanin.

O'Neill declined to discuss for pub- | lication his views of what would be | the outgrowth of N. R. A.
