Washington, July 1. mes House of Representatives voted last night the Bloom project for an amendment of the Neutrality Act including the amendment presented by Republican John. M. Vorys of Ohio for the continuance of the arms embargoes clause. The vote was secured by a narrow majority of twelve votes, with 200 representatives voting for and 188 against, The main difference in the new Act compared to the former one is the insertion of the clause specifying that "war implements" exports to the belligerents are not to be included in the embargo. According to quarters close to the Congress, ^war implements" exports include motor cars, aeroplanes and other items which are not considered as war weapons.
The former Neutrality Act equally banned the exports of the latters.
One clause of the new Neutrality Act specifies that American citizens travelling in belligerent ships will do this at their own risks.
The Act does not apply to South American Republics.
The main provisions of the Neutrality Act as voted by the House of Representatives last might are as follow:
A proclamation is to be published as soon as either the President or Congress ascertains the existence of a state of war between foreign nations.
Upon the publication of such a proclamation, no American -citizen or concern will be allowed:
Firstly, to sell any arms and or ammunition except war implements to any of the belligerents unless the transfer of the property of the said goods to a non-American has been effected.
Secondly, to grant the belligerents loans or credits, except ordinary commercial short-term credits not exceeding a term of ninety days.
Thirdly to collect whatever funds in favour of any of the belligerents.
Finally, the President will be empowered to close the entry of all American harbours or territorial waters to the navies to armed merchant men of the belligerents.
