NEUTRALITY ACT IS NOT SATISFACTORY Roosevelt Wanted It But Wanted To Use Author ity As He Wished By CHARLES P. STEWART Washington, Sept- 2. — America’s stop-gap neutrality law, effective on. ly until March 1, 1936, perhaps is bet ter than nothing. But, in the opinion of (Senator Gerald P. Nye, who is tak ing a leading part in the campaign to keep Uncle Sam out of the next overseas conflict, it leaves a great deal to be desired. However, it was rushed through Congress in such a hurry, just before adjournment, that the legislators hadn’t time to draft it very carefully. What they were afraid of was that a war will start almost any day. Con sequently they did not dare to post pone neutrality action until January, when they will reassemble. Then it is planned to get another law passed, as a permanency. MANDATORY—OR NOT? There will be a big row about it, too. Senator Nye and his followers want Congress to tell the President what he must do to insure Yanke neutral ity in future wars between dther countries. President Roosevelt wants Congress to tell him what he may do. He has no objection to being vested with plenty of authority, but he prefers freedom to exercise it at his own dis cretion. The present temporary law does tell him what he must do, but he and his supporters will try to have the new one drafted more to his liking. WHY U. S.
