A. B. C. ON A U. S. ROW

ROUND President Roose-

at this moment whirls a hurricane of contro- versy centred on the part the United States may or may not-play in the war.

The storm arises over his wish to change the Neutrality Act. Now that Act says that when war broke out the President had to declare that state of war" existed.

That decision taken, the Presi- dent then was forced to forbid the shipment of arms to the belligerents, forbid them, too, to sell securities in the United States,

He can, and has, permitted the sale of certain raw materials to belligerents on a cash and carry basis that means "cash down and rlak your own ships."

Since some nations resort to war without declaring it, the President may apply the Act, as in Abyssinia, or not apply Ins In China,

But the cash and carry clause expired in April, and now the President wants it renewed. He thinks that clause will help stop the war-wishing notions from re- sorting to war, and you can see which way the President is think-

Ing.

He knows that the people who can pay cash and have the con trol of the seas are the antions of the Peace Front-especially Great Britain,

So Britain and France would be able to get arms, but the Axis Powers would, not.

NOW the Prealdent has arranged for a Bill to lift the embargo arms. The House of Re- presentatives mauled it about with amendments when It was in- troduced once before that it was unrecognisable, and that, in the Prezident's view, was regarded by Germany as a set-back for the democracies.

He argues that their action, unless repealed, might embroil the United States.

So he still thinks that the arms embargo should be scrapped.
