A4 FREEDOM OF SEAS POLICY MAY GO Congress Prepares Law Which Would Avoid 1917 War Cause. BY ALEXANDER R. GEORGE, Associated Press Feature Service Writer. Twenty years ago this April the United States went to war largely be- cause of the killing of American citi- zens and the destruction of non-com- batant vessels by German submarines in violation of “freedom of the seas.” ‘Today Congress moves to keep us out of war with drastic neutrality legislation which throws overboard our historic policy of defending this freedom for neu- trals. President Wil- son's neutrality proclamation &t the start of the World War outlined a long-recognized legal right of neutrals to deal in war materials. And American firms sold hundreds of million dollars worth to the entente allies before we joined the struggle. Would Embargo Arms. The way the United States Com- mittee on War Information saw it, if we had refused to sell munitions to the belligerents we could never in time LAST IN A SERIES | Mend Clothing THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Furthermore, it gives the President discretionary authority to add other materials to the embargo list if he thinks such shipment might endanger neutrality. The sinking by a German subma- | rine of the British liner Lusitania in | May, 1915, with a loss of 1,150 men, women and children, 114 of them Americans, probably did more to arouse anti-German feeling in the United States than any other one thing. Now the Pittman measure would forbid American citizens to travel on belligerent ships following proclama- | tion by the President of a state of | war between foreign nations. | Before the United States entered the war financiers in this country loaned millions to allied governments. The Pittman bill prohibits loans or eredits to a belligerent nation. | The new plan would not forbid | American vessels trading with belliger- | ents in commodities that were not | embargoed, but would make that trad- | Ing wholly at the risk of the ship owner. Cash would have to be paid and the title to all commodities trans- ferred from American citizens to for- eigners before the goods reached the dock for shipments. Once they had Jeft American ports the United States would have no duty to protect them in transit. Arming of merchant ships, which President Wilson urged, also would be forbidden. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF.

Boys who have not developed skill in the art of swimming should avail themselves of the opportunity offered by the learn-to-swim campaign conducted by the Yong Men's Christian Association in co-operation with The Evening Star. While the present offer is intended primarily for boys, there | is a valuable hint to all other persons who need instruction in swimming so that other facilities in the city may be utilized. ““The Public Health Service regards swimming, especially when enjoyed in clean water and safe suroundings, as one of the best of the health- building exercises. Free and safe participation in water sports depends upon ability to swim well. Therefore, the present campaign should do much to reduce the hazards incident to swimming during vacation periods. ‘The learn-to-swim campaign is par- ticularly timely from the point of view both of safety and health.” Home Workers Benefit.
