WASHINGTON, Aug. 31 (U.P) .— Senator Borah (R. Ida) declared tothat the “aggressive war of conquest being waged in China proves that America’s cash-and-carry neutrality plan is “Impracticable.” Expressing strong sympathy for the Chinese and approving Administration efforts to prevent the United States from being drawn into the conflict, Senator Borah assailed the cash-and-carry provisions of the Neutrality Act as certain to favor Japan if put into effect. “One thing seems quite certain,” he said, “and that is that the cash-and-carry proposition is an impracticable provision of the socalled Neutrality Law.” The provision to which he referred would require beligerents to pay for goods purchased in this country and to transport them on | other than American vessels. The act, may be put into effect by the President if he decides a state of exists abroad and endangers the neutrality of the United States
