Reversion To International
Law
Washington, Sept. 21.?President
' Roosevelt was reported tonight to
have indicated to a bi-partisan .White
Home conference that he would .pre
fer complete repeal of the neutrality
act to any modification of the exist
ing law.
However, several of those who at
tended the conference, including
Chairman Pittman (D.-Nev.) of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee,
were said to have advised Mr. Roose
velt that there was little chance that
Congress would approve complete
scrapping of existing neutrality sta
tutes and returning to international
law.
The discussion then veered to tne
possibility of repealing only the
clssae banning arms shipments to
I belligerents, and substituting a cash
I and-carry system for such sales.
A person who attended the confer
ence said that during the discussion
about complete repeal, Pittman ad
vised Mr. Roosevelt that there would
not be more than five of the Senate I
Foreign Relations Committee's 28
votes for any such plan. I
M Vice-President Garner, it was re-1
I ported, told the President he always I
had favored international law as the I
basis o? this country's dealings with
ether nations. Mr. Roossvelt was I
said to have indicated his assent to I
xL ? ti,V I

At the outset of the conference,!
I Mr. Rooeeyelt was reported to have I
I outlined the workings^ inhernational
I of this law down to the>*s**t and
he and Pittman then wer said to I
have engaged in a technical conver-1
