Washington, June 27.
SUFFER acutely when I hear that the great British Empire has been brought to a point where it permits a Japanese oldier to strip an English wom: declared Mr. Charles A. Eaton, republican member from Ni sey, in attacking the Neutrality in the House of Represe! es today. All such legislation, he said amidst great applause, was useless, and the United States should return to the sound principles of international law. Neuality laws, MË. Eaton continued, were a. mixture of cowardice, cupidity and stupidity, and were fraught with danger to the country, Neutrality, he added, was like running into a shelter which was too flimsy during a sto! rin. He urged the United States to take a stand for order and peace.
Leon's attack followed the ction of a Government amend-
Neutrality Bill by Mr.
Flow. Director-General of the Constitution Sesquicentennial Com-
The Administration, Mr. Bloom declared, did not intend to enforce cast-iron principles, The Bill as open to any reasonable amendents, and those who felt that it 1 short of the ideal were invited suggest improvements, Hamilton Fish, member of the isn Service Bi ling Commis-ion, declared that the Bill was a wer-like measure which, in effect, shied the United States with Britain a critical period. 4 "You cannot sell arms and ammunttion to nations without ultimately getting into war," he declared, Mr. Sol Bloom retorted by reading President George Washington's neutrality proclamation of 1793. He added that the present Bill was founded on the principles enunciated by President Washington and the Administration shared his anxiety to keep out of war.—Reuter.
