Behind the scenes, a major struggle was in progress today on the que.monf of neutrality legislation and how best to keep America out of what one Sen- ator called “this hell-born business of war.” The Senate, attacking the problem as Europe remained concerned over the Ttalian-Ethiopian crisis, had passed a bill that would be an important altera- tion in long-standing policy. Among other things, it would re- quire the President, without discretion on his part, to clamp an embargo on exports of implements of war to any foreign belligerent. Mandatory Plan Favored. Senatorial advocates of the plan insisted that this w..s the way to help keep the United States out of foreign conflicts; that the embargo legisla- tion should apply to all nations who |* g0 to war, and that it should be man- datory on the executive branch. On the other hand, some House members and some officials were | known to be opposing this mandatory issuing statements for quotation by name. They argued that the provision is an invasion of the powers granted the | President by the Constitution to con- duct the Nation's foreign affairs. They also contended that it was too rigid, and that it might tie the Government's hands in future attempts to avert wars between other nations. The Capital was watching to see the outcome of what amounts to a major, if largely silent, collision, | Legislation in Past. | Congress has passed embargo legis- lation in the past, though it differed from the present Senate bill. From | 1898 until 1912 the country had a law which enabled the President to prohibit exports of munitions to any | country at any time in his discretion. | In 1912 that was amended to limit the presidential embargo to countries in the American hemisphere in which | civil war might be raging. It made | no provision for embargoes to any country warring with another nation. | In 1922 the law was again amended | to give the President discretionary power to declare an embargo on mu- nitions to China, Ethiopia and other | eountries in which the United States | exercises extraterritorial rights. . i{ouse l;ll (Continued From First Page.)

This would authorize the Presi- dent to forbid foreign ships the use of American ports if it could be shown that they flew the American flag or otherwise posed as American vessels. With Europe's crisis in mind. the Benators passed the legislation offered #s a plan to prevent the United States being drawn into conflict as it was in 1917. It provides. besides the other points mentioned: Authority for the President to pre- Yent ships, foreign or American, from carrying men or supplies to belligerent Wvessels at sea and to restrict or prohibit the entry of belligerent submarines into American waters. | Its seventh section sets up a Na-! tional Munitions Control Board to | administer the program, consisting of | the Secretaries of State, Treasury,' War, Navy and Commerce and the chairmen of Foreign Relations Com- | mittees of Senate and House. | Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho | expressed a belief one provision did | ot go far enough. 1 “I do not think American citizens | should be permitted to travel on bel- | ligerent ships at all,” he said. “To | #ay ‘at their own risk’ only meets the | question partially.” ' Representative Maverick, Democrat, | of Texas announced that he had over 100 signatures of House members on | @ petition for neutrality action at this &ession of Congress. . . | Five new industrial alcohol plants | are being opened in Ireland. “Put Your Car In §\\\\\\H| X Any Service AnyCar!!
