Washington, June 30.
After rejecting a proposal made by Mr. A. L. Allen, Democrat from Louisiana, to abolish all the Neutrality Law, the House of Representatives upset the Administration's neutrality plans today, by 159 to 157 votes, by including a "compromise" arms embargo in the Neutrality Law.
The proposals, which were made by'Mr. John Vorys, Republican from Ohio, would prevent the shipment of arms and ammunition to belligerents, but would exclude, as Mr. Vorys put it, "implements of war, whatever that means."
Mr. Hamilton Fish, Republican from New York, declared that the proposals would mean the specific exemption from embargo of everything except lethal weapons, and mentioned oil, aircraft and lorries as excepted.
The House postponed the casting of a final vote on Mr. Vorys' compromise until Friday.—Reuter.
