Declares Legislation De
signed To Prevent War
Should Be Passed
Promptly
-a. M
Hyde Park, N. ?., 4?Presi
dent Roosevelt said at a- press con
ference today that he wanted action
ijbf neutrality legislation at this ses
sion <rf-Congress- with the objective of
preventing war.
i Hie primary policy of the admin
istration, Mr. Roosevelt said, is to
^prevent any war in any part of the
-world, because anything that can be
done to stop war is good.
He made it dear that he still was
^supporting Secretary Hull's position
that the arms embargo section of
-the present neutrality law should
be swapped.
Hull's proposal, including abolition
of the arms embargo, were incorpor
ated: in the Bloom bill in the House,
but a coalition of Republicans and ,
Democrats overrode administration
leaders last Friday and wrote in ^
modified arms embargo provision be
fore passing the measure.
Mr Roosevelt asserted press dis
patches from four major capitals
stating that the House jwition had ,
beei> welcomed in Fascist and Nazi
nations were substantiated be re- ,
ports to the State Department.
And he indicated that he believed .
it was true that that action had en^
unfavorable effort on the current ,
?European crisis, might bring war ,
closer and would make it *nore dif- j
ficult for this country to keep from ,
being embroiled. ' ? ,
Sitting in shirtsleeves at a table 1
on the lawn of Mrs. Roosevelt s cot- |
tage on the family estate, where a ^
Fourth of July -picnic had been
given for nearly 80 guests, the Presi
dent said that in the interest- of pre- j
venting war he wanted the Senate ^
foreign relations ' Committee to go ^
ahoftd .with consideration of the neu- (
trality issue. 1
Asked whether he wanted the 1
commijttee to use the original Bloom
bill as the basis for its study, Mr. ]
Roosevelt suggested sticking to ob- ,
jectives rather than details. Objec- ,
tives should be stressed; he said, be
cause they can be attained by chang-, ^
ing a few words,- 1
A reporter ranuksd -that seme ,
Senators had said they would dis- ^
cuss neutrality until September it
that were necessary to assure reten
tion of any arms embargo. i -
tjftis is entirely, up to them, the .
Chief Executive asserted, as they',
have full discretion to do so if they .
wish. >
"Mr. Roosevelt, who had "arranged
to return to Washington overnight ,
by special train, said he would con-t, Sj
fer with Secretary Hull tomorrow^
but' that there was'no news in thai
since he wiways Baw the Secretary ,
inffieSiately after getting back to the? ,
capital after a trip.
He said he had not determined yet' ,
whether he would, confer' also with;
Congressional leaders.
The President declared he had not
been in touch with the Treasury on j
monetai*y problems and had not
talked officially with Secretary Mor- ,
genthau?one of the picnickers?^ince
last Friday. He peisbedUo the Sec

Congress found itself in a jam last
week, with Hie approach of June 80th
heralding the beginning of .a new
fiscal year. During the last three
days of June there was fevBrish work
on lagging appropriation bills, which
had to be passed before the July 1st
deadline.
Strangely enough, the situation was
reminiscent of the hectic days when
dying Congresses, before the Norris
Amendment to the Constitution, work*
ed under pressure to complete needed
legislation. Last week it was not
Congress that was about to expire,
but certain emergency legislation.
The stage was Bet for a legislative
coup and senators from the silver
producing states of the West, fighting
to "raise the price of domestic silver,
took full advantage of the situation.
Something of a coalition between
the Western and Republican senators
resulted in action by the Senate to
fix by law at 77.57 cents the price
per ounce that the Treasury must pay
for domeaticailyjnined silver; to end
the powers of the President to devalue
the dollar, and toistop the buying of
foreign silver. ' The Senate amend
ments were in direct conflict with the
House view and while both houses
were willing to continue'the stabiliza
tion fund, which was about to expire,
the amendments created a precarious
legislative situation.
Meanwhile, hope for adjournment
by July 16th rapidly faded. The neu
trality bill, in the House last week,1
faces prolonged debate and possibly
a filibuster in the Senate, where a
group of isolationists are determined
to prevent any change in the present
embargo on arms. The new lending,
program, proposed by the President,
was meeting opposition in some re
spects, especially in regards to the
provision for toll bridges and toll
roads, and new loans bo foreign na
tions. v Senate action ott these issues
alone will extend the session of Cobf*
gress wen beyond July 'ftth. " u

Johnson Says United
States Must Be Able to
Defend Entire New
World
.? : - -* \
Charlottesville, Va., July 4. ? As
sistant Secretary at War Louis JohP-;
son tonight said that the national da
fense program laid down and pre
pasadnan plana envisaged by Presi
dent Roosevelt will eaaMetbe United
, States to repel any threat to
peace of the Western Hemisphere.
-Speaking before the annual meet
ing of the Institute Psfltite Affairs,
Johnson emphasised that in these
days of world unrest, this nation's
duty to be strong must be steadily
in mind. :
"Europe and Asia hear today the
clatter of armed forces, which were
dramatized not long ago *s the Four
Horsemen of the Apocalypse/' he
said. "Only America is free fraar
their shadow, and it is strength,, not
weakness, which keeps this menace
from our own shores."
To maintain this freedom, he said
the United States must -be able to
concentrate men, guna and ^anee
in adequate forces -art any vulnerable
point in the three Americas, from
Point Barrow to Tiere del Fuego.
Thfa, be said, wotfl* reqm.e an ade
quate force on land, sea-and air.
Great democracies are not beiig
erent, Johnson continued, but should
war come, tt -will be essential^to wage
it democratically. To tHs end he*
necommended that "the democrats
ideal of universal service which we
Hope to achieve in man-power should
be applied to resources."
Every other force of private or
public Activity must become secon
dary to the winning of the war, Or
the country cannot be defended, he
contended. "Mobilisation of men and
resources must be anticipated to a
degree as yet unknown in this coun
try. "Such an eventuality, he empha
sized, presented a problem ih which
the essentials of free institutions are
involved, ?fj
"I believe that should war come,
we shall be able to meet the test on
the traditional basis of American
life, " he said. "Certainly the present
government is determined that we
shall do so. We shall continue to
subordinate the military to dyiHan
authority. * We shall continue our,
faith in democratic institutions." ,
He revealed that plans already
have been drawn by the F8*; .de
partment to meet a war emergency. i
These, he said, cohtempjate that con
trols "affecting civlians will be admin
istered by civilians, "in the true spirit
of the Constitution of the United
States."
Conquest and dominion are not in
the reckoning of the great democra
tic?, <tf .agreeable to pur principles^,
JohnaonAsmd^ apd added: ;
"But just because we demand'mn
molested development.and the undis
turbed .government of our ownlive?
upon our own principles ,of right
and liberty, we resent, from what
ever it may come, the aggression we

British Danzig Attitude

Chamberlain Taunted
With Demands F o r
Ctear-Cut F i g h t i n g
Statement
London, July 5.?Prime jnWqfcr
Neville Chamberlain today faced a
barrage of taunts in tits House of
Commons from opposition members
who demanded that the government
give a clear-cut statement as to wbe*
Bier Great Britain will fight if an in
ternal Nazi pitsch is staged in Das
tig.
Chamberlain and other government
spokesmen refused, however, to ban
ish opposition suspicions that in event
of a showdown in the Danzig dis
pute, the government might find a
Loop-hole in its March 31 pledge to
Poland and attempt to avoid fighting.
Included in the opposition bsngpge
were demands that the British fleet
be mobilized as a warning to Hitler *
and that Chemberlain strengthen hip
cabinet by the inclusion of such bit
ter anti-Nazi figures as Winston
Churchill and Anthony Eden.
Chambetiain refused to answer
most of the demands. Others he
sidestepped. ,- v
The cabinet meeting in Chember
Lain's room at the House of Com
mons tonight in its second session
xf the day, discussed proposals for
i further and more direct warning
to Hilter on the Danzig situation.
The ministers were reported to
aave discussed the fdvisabflity of
iispatching British and French war
ships to the Polish Baltic seaport of
Gdynia, 12 miles from Danzig, as a
reminder of a strong Anglo-French
stand against any further Nazi ag
gression.
The warships would be sent, to
Gdynia in August as & counter-dem
mstration to the scheduled Dapi^g
tisit of the German Cruiser Koenigi
berg on August 25. Nazi leaders
bave indicated that they expect the
Danzig situation to reach its climax
about that time. ^
The cabinet meeting at the House
jf. Commons tonight lasted two hours
and dealt not only with the Dan
sig .situation, but with a new hitch
which had developed in the Anglo
French negotiation with Soviet Rus
sia for a tri-power military alliance
and with British troubles with Jappa.'
The most, significant statement in
the House of Commons on. Danzig
lame not from Chamberlain', but
Erom Richard Austen Butler, Pgriiju ,
nentary Undersecretary of Foreign
Affairs, who asserted that Btitain
is committed to aid Poland only if
ihere is a "clear threat" to ,P<?K*h
independence.
Chamberlain answered demand8
For a mobilization of the British
Fleet?the home fleet was mobilized
last September at the tupe of the
Czechoslovak crisis?by paying that
the government will take any neces
sary steps to make its attitude, on
Danzig absolutely clear.
Seymour Cocks, Labor!te, draw
Butler out when he asked whether
Britain is prepared to fight on (Po
land's side.
? '1 refer questioners to the term*
,f our pledge to Poliuid whichGto*t
Britain certainly will fulfill," Butlte
replied.
The March 31- pledge as announced
by Chamberlain was that Britain
would lend all support in its power *
to Poland "in event of any action
svhich clearly threatened the inde
pendence of Poland and which the.
Polish government acoordipgly cqa
lidered vital to resist with their
national forces.
