Tha policy enforced Is described aa temporary, to be changed as soon as It Is possible to put the neutrals on a rationing basis. Deepu submission of much Information by the neutrals affected, the government considers that it lacks convincing evidence re garding export from these countries to Oermany and it want to take no chaneea of permitting American good to go through to tn enemy. Good destined for the allied coun trlea ara licensed without question, as ara commodities that go to most other neutrals. Some shipment have been permitted tn go forward to Switzer land, but not until th character of th consign waa established beyond question. Meanwhile the" government ia ne gotiating with the British for an ar rangement by which the export con trol will supersede the British system of granting l utters of assurance.

Germans Coaar AttJtcks. The Germans apparently have ceased their fierce Infantry onslaughts against the French along the Cheniln-Des-Dames In France, which have cost them dearly In men killed, wounded or taken prisoner, when compared with the extremely- small amount of ground they gained. The I laiesi rrenrn omrm communication nnnnunres that Monday saw no In-1 fsntry action In this resion. although about Hurteblar and Craonne. par ticularly on the Callfornle plateau, the Germans continued their violent bom bardments of the French positions.

Mr. Lever and other house leaders are understood to be ready to make a determined fight against the provis ion, which was voted Into the bill near the close of he long senate de hate. The house leaders also are plan ning to oppose vigorously the senate's provision for a lood control Board or three members instead of on admin istrator and there were many Indica tions that In this likewise they would hava, the president's unqualified back ing.
