Defence Of
Neutrality
Considered
VANDENBERG SEES COMPLICATIONS
Washington, Mar. 2. .An amendment to the Pitiman Neutrality Bill, proposed by Senator Vandenberg, is now being debated by the Senale.
The amendment suggests deletion of the clouses in the Bill by which the President is given power to re- move American shipping from the scene of war in any country and to enforce an embargo on goods from the United States.
Senator Vandenberg declared that if the President exercises this power, it would be tantamount to sanctions, which would bring resentment, if not reprisals. It would virtually make the United States an ally of Britain ог Japan, as they are the only countries with navies strong enough 10 remove goods from America. Reuter Bulletin Service.
