his work, determined that sickness
should not interrupt the flow of his
lucid prose on the Times' editorial

Associates characterized as another
evidence of his devotion to duty his
insistence that he carry on his wsrk
in spile of an eye affliction which,

TRADE, NEUTRALITY
DRAW G. 9. P. FIRE
Vandenberg Ready to Lead
Attack on Reciprocal
Measure in Senate.
By the Assoclsted Press.
Closely related proposals to extend
the reciprocal trade law and to make
the neutrality act permanent, ready
for Senate debate, drew criticism to
day from Republicans who declared
i they were in conflict.
These opponents contended it was
useless to try to build up American
1 commerce through peace-time trade
pacts if American supplies were to be
cut off from the purchasers in time
of war.
Administration leaders, predicting
both measures would be approved with
little change, decided to call up the
trade bill today. It already has passed
the House. The neutrality legislation
will be considered later in the week.
The State Department is backing
both bills, although it would prefer
a more discretionary neutrality
measure.
tanaenberg Leads Attack.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of
Michigan was ready to lead the Re
publican attack on the reciprocal trade
law, with a series of amendments to
, limit the free hand given the Presi
dent.
The bill would extend for three
years the President’s power to nego
tiate reciprocal trade treaties,
i Chairman Pittman. Democrat, of
’ Nevada of the Foreign Relations Com
i mittee expected to run into opposition
to the neutrality bill from Senators
Borah, Republican, of Idaho and
Johnson, Republican, of California.
Pittman's bill would establish some
thing akin to a "cash and carry”
trade policy by requiring that Ameri
cans must divest themselves of owner
ship of any goods shipped from this
country to a belligerent during a for
eign war. The President would have
authority to prohibit American ship6
from carrying such goods.
Only Munitions Banned.
The Pittman bill, however, would
ban no exports except munitions and
implements of war. Warring nations
could buy American goods if they took
the responsibility for getting them
shipped across the ocean.
This would mean that no guns or
ammunition could be shipped from
America to the belligerents or to neu
trals for transshipment. Oil, cotton,
copper and other raw materials could
be shipped, if the purchaser had taken
title, but he also might be required to
furnish his own vessel.
The neutrality act. together with the
Johnson act already on the statute
books, would prevent extension of
credit to foreign governments. They
would have to pay cash for their pur
chase? unless individuals under their
jurisdiction could establish credit in
this country.
Johnson and Borah have argued that
the neutrality bUl, which Pittman pre
fers to call the "peace act,” would be
more likely to get America into a war
than keep her out. They contend that
for this country to adopt a "cringing”
attitude would invite attack.
School Film Shocks.
A natural history film, "The Prog,”
used in London public schools, was
shown In a West End movie theater
by mistake and the adult audience
was shocked by the "sex stuff.”
