PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT DISCUSSES POSSIBLE STEPS IN EVENT OF WAR

Hyde Park, New York, To-day. At yesterday's press conference, President Roose- velt said that as far as he knew at the moment, there was no reason for re-convening Congress for a special session in the Autumn. He added that if the crisis of war became imminent in Europe or the Far East in other words, if it became reasonably certain that there was going to be a war- - he would probably sum- mon immediately a special session in order to ensure American neutrality along the lines of International Law, so that the United States would not be involved.

President Roosevelt added that in general he favoured a neutrality of the type for which the Admin-' istration fought unsuccessfully in the last session, namely, legislation making the United States "neutral" instead of "not neutral” meant repeal of the embargo on the sale of arms.

that

Asked whether it would also in- volve the abandonment of "the * cash and carry system," President Roosevelt said the matter could be handled in so many ways he could not give a "yes or no answer."- Reuter.
