Neutrality-

Legislation

Washington, Jan. 20.

Mr. Cordell Hull, the Secretary of State, to-day announced the immes diate preparation of a new Neutrality Act of a permanent nature.

It is understood the State Depart- ment favoure legislation giving the President wider discretion in placing, embargoes on arms.

Mr. Hull's announcement followed discussions between him, President F. D. Roosevelt and Mr. Norman Davis, оле of the United States' most brilliant diplomatists. They discuss- od American neutrality from every angle,

The Secretary of State added that he would hold a series of conferences on this subject with interested Con- gressmen shortly.

It is interesting to recall that there have been reports that Great Britain has made overtures respecting the present neutrality legislation which, in the event of her becoming involved in war, might prove embarrassing. It was even suggested that Britain might take steps to remove the United States from the topmost place as a trading nation in British maricets unless this neutrality legislation were le some way amended.--Reuter.
