FRIDAY,

NEW PEACE ACT

LACKS TEETH, CLAPPER SAYS

Administration M. Made Eire Of Legislative Process, Writer Holds.

By RAYMOND CLAPPER Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, April 30.—The methods by which the Administration knocked the teeth out of the new nentrality legislation made a farce of the processes of legislation.

The resulting measure is better than |

nothing, although Senator Vanden(R. Mich.) described it as a long step in the wrong direction. Perhaps the most charitable thing to say is that

intentions. were good. Since a year ago last February it has been known that existing neutrality legislation would expire tomorrow. Last winter new legislation was introduced. By early March - each house had passed its bill. These bills were differant.

The Senate bill was constructed |

on a mandatory pattern, with numerous provisions which were to go into effect automatically upon the outbreak of a war. The House bill, which really was. the handiwork of the State Department, gave the President broad discretionary power to act when, as and if he wished. Then the two bills went to. a conference committee where differences were to be reconciled.

Committee's First Job

The first job was to stack this] The chief |

conference committee. House representative was Chairman Sam McReynolds of the House ¥oreign Affairs Committee, a life-long friend of Secretary Hull and a fellow Tennessean. Senate representatives on the conference committee | had to be picked carefully because the Senate was out of line with the | Administration. Only six votes had been cast against the Senate bill, and all but one were cast by Republicans. This bill was too strict for the Administration, which wanted discretionary instead of mandatory power. The Senate's attitude resulted | from the disclosures of the Senate munitions investigation, which showed how the Wilson Administration in its broad. discretion fumbled

and bent to pressure and allowed |

the country gradually to slip into

the European war so deeply that the |

only way out was {0 go all the way

in. The Senate wished to hedge the | President about with an automatic | program which would, so far as pos- |

sible, isolate the United States from another general European war. Overriding Senate Problem.

Senator Pittman, chairman of Foreign Relations Committee; Majority Leader Robinson, who would not be expected to balk at Administration orders, and, of all people, Senator Borah, who is against every-

thing and who had no interest in | against |

protecting the Senate bill, which he voted. Not a single Senator who had been active in the Senate munitions investigation was put on the conference cominittee. Senators Nye, Vandenberg, Clark and Bone, all of whom were deeply interested and well informed, were excluded. The result was as expected. Senate bill was ripped to pieces.

The House, which usually plays sec-

Cash-and-carry provisions, for instance, instead of going into effect automatically in event of a foreign war. will go into effect if and when the President decides to put them into effect.
