face of the Asiatic situation. One can give this simple answer: Since the President proclaimed our neutrality in the European situation, then it naturally followed that the embargo provisions of the 1987 Neutrality Act would be enacted.

He did not proclaim our neutrality in the Asiatic affair, so it was not necessary to invoke provisions of the Neutrality Act. I tell this simple story to lay a

mestic field. Within the present neutrality act the following things should be preserved. 1. The Munitions Control Board should remain much as it is, serving, as it does, the nation in capacities other than the one in relation to the Act which established ne floating of foreign loans for war purposes should be prohibited. 3.

found the United States fortifying its determination to stay out of it through a publicly pronounced neutrality policy laid down by President Wilson, That policy in about as many words declared that while it would | not be considered wunmeutral for Americans to sell munitions to belligerents so long as we sold to both sides alike, it would be considered unneutral for Americans to loan money to nations at war. What happened to and under this policy? Look to the record of known fact: France and England found it difficult to finance their growing purchases in the United States. Their purchases were affording a war] boom that we came to relish. Any threat of the loss of this trade became of serious concern to us. England and France knew it, Through their American Yepresentatives, J. P. Morgan & Co, France and England pleaded for American credit. The Morgans said American bankers were prepared to underwrite these credit needs, Our neutrality policy forbid loans. The | bankers insisted that credits and | loans were not the same thing. | Pressure was applied daily.
