DEFENCE OF U.S. NEUTRALITY

PRESIDENT TO HAVE WIDE POWERS

NEW LEGISLATION MAY HELP CURTAIL WARS

Washington, Jan. 3.

A permanent Neutrality Bill, giving the President, of the United States discretionary powers to place an embargo on war materials, and retaining the present obligatory embargo on actual implements of war, has been introduced into the House of Representatives by Mr. Samuel D. McReynolds, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee,

Mr. McReynolds said the Bill is satisfactory to the Ad- ministration and had been drafted after long conferences with the President and State Department officials.

Under the Bill the embargoes which the President will be empowered to impose on the shipment of materials used for war purposes would restrict exports to all belligerents to ordinary peace-time quantities.

Food and medical supplies would be specifically exempted. Mr. McReynolds added. He would submit an amendment, how- ever, exempting American countries at war with non-American countries from the mandatory arins embargo.
