Neutrality Law Revision , President Truman's request for revision of our neutrality law to permit government embargoes on shipments of arms to unfriendly nations is in keeping with our new foreign policy. It thus emphasizes the tremendous change that has taken

place m American attitude, private as well as official. ';' The request for amendment of a . 1939 statute means, in brief, that old conceptions of neutrality are gone, never to return. Those conceptions were based "on principle of impartiality" toward all those who would secure munitions from us regardless of their motives.', '"I Up to 1939, any act of aggression, as by Germany, Italy or Japan, was legally none of our business., We might register diplomatic protests, but manufacturers could go on sellingplanes or shells to any nation able to' pay for them. And American scrap iron continued to be shipped abroad for conversion into munitions. ' ' " ' '" ! The 1939 law represented an attempt to impose some degree' of regulation on the munitions traffic, but we still could! not choose between potential purchasers. Another effort at control was the stipulation that munitions could not be car-i' lied in American ships, but must be picked up by foreign ves-j sels at our ports and paid for before loading. ! The latter requirement, although in accord with our .con-' ceptioh of neutrality atithe time, actually favored friendly nations, Great Britain most of all. For the British had the most shipping facilities and a powerful navy for convoy dutyj . The difference between control requirements of eight years or more ago and those of today is that whereas we thert dealt with other nations individually, by treaty, we are now committed to international co-operation through the United: i' Nations. As Mr. Truman points out, Section 12 of the 1939; fact forces the secretary of state to "treat' aggressor and ag-i ; grieved, peacemaker and troublemaker equally by granting every application for the license for the 'exportation' of any

arms, ammunition or implements of war unless such action:

would be in violation of a treaty. Such a provision of law is no

Jonger consistent with this country s commitments and requirements." . ' "' 1 Those commitments include co-operation in curbing aggression by all peaceful means, including embargoes! Ultimately they may embrace an international police force to

Political Comment

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Willis, Mrs. Charles Willis and family were in Terre Haute Saturday evening. Mr. and Mrs. John Alexander called on Mrs. Anna Shepherd Saturday evening.

Republican members , of the ' lower house of Congress who forced through a Federal income tax bill admittedly due for over-'.-hauling or defeat in the Senate : cbviously were enacting what ' they thought was "dual purpose" ' legislation. , Of paramount importance in their minds, of course, was the ' fact that next year is a- general " election year and most, if not all of them, will be candidates for renomination. And any demagogic politico can tell you a promise of tax .reduction, feasible or not, is a favorite campaign 'tool. r The other purpose . served by ' the congressional bill, however, is

of a more insidious nature. An analysis of the measure might

well lead to the belief that it is a ' "pay-off" to big ' business and high income groups whose money would be welcomed in campaign kitties of these G.O.P. hopefuls, j The bill represents a few concessions of these friends of big business after indignant protests were lodged against the original proposal of a 20 per cent cut "across the board." The ' lowest income brackets would be given j u few extra dollars in tax 'relief!

but the bill, as sent to the Senate, Drovides big earners the richest

tax gifts ever proposed. ( Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. Under the bill '(H.R. I) the per- ILovell Larson were Mr. and Mrs. son witrr an income of $2,650 a! Mrs. Paul Olgus and Henry year would be relieved of $57 in Paul, Mrs. . Meline Kulett, Mr.

Bayan watched the conflict below .

"Sung is evil," Chang said.

WALTER fell unconscious at Ortuh's blow but because the rules had been violated', Bayan was able to stop the beating. As it was, Walter was seriously injured and lay for weeks in a peasant's house between life and death. ' . .- ' Bayan had left money for hi3 care. When he was recovered sufficiently to travel, Walter rode to join the warrior's forces already besieging a Chinese city. He found Bayan sitting his black horse on an elevation, watching the conflict below. There, he saw in action for the first time the dreaded Hm-P'clo,' the iron tubes which spat fire and death. "I must draw plans and take there back to England with me," he told himself. ' '-. ... , ' Bayan greeted his former chess, rival cheerfully.

said. "We will scatter it like sand before the wind!" -.. Several nights later, Walter was summoned to Bayan's tent. "You once betrayed my trust," Bayan said. "I give you a chance now to redeem yourself." . , .-- His next objective, Bayan said, was the city of Kinsai itself. Many persons there wanted peace which would spare the city from the sword. But advisers; surrounding the Empress, including the rich merchant, Sung Yung, were holding out for continued war. ,- . . ., . . . i . Bayan introduced to Walter a. small man named Chang Wu, an envoy from the peace faction. "Return with Chang Vu to the city of Kinsai," he said. :"C6nyince-them that resistance is useless. Beware-' our enemies there." .- "I em glad to pledge my life in your service." Father Theodore accompanied' Walter and Chang Wu to

the city: For the occasion, Walter was given fine clothing and a spirited horse. He had high hopes for his mission and the possibility of finding Maryam and Tristram again as they rode into Kinsai .. . J'Anthemus gave me a letter to deliver to this Sung Yung," Walter told his new friend. "I passed it on to Triatram. Perhaps we can find them through Sung Yung." "Perhaps," said Chang Wu, "But he is an evil man." In . the days .that followed, Chang Wu guided Walter through the mazes of the city to secret rendezvous with-' important men of the peace group. In underground conference rooms, he faced the thoughtful .ones, "The armies of Bayan are invincible. I urge you to make terms with him to save Kinsai from destruction . . ." (Continued tomorrow)
