Another Turn In U.S. Neutrality Legislation
(Received 2.30 p.m.) • , . WASHINGTON, July 11
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted, 12 to 11, to postpone until next session of Congress consideration of the neutrality legislation. The postponement would be a serious blow to the Administration’s hopes to obtain a measure without an arms embargo. It is believed, however,, ythat the Democrat leader, Senator • Barkley, may seek to take the issue to the .floor cf the Senate despite the committee’s action, or the President may - call a special session of Congress immediately after; the adjournment; ■ Meanwhile, Senator Key Pittman, chairman, disclosed that he had placed before the Foreign Relations Committee a joint resolution giving the President power to restrict foreign commerce with any member of-the Nine-Power Fact which discriminated
against American nations. This is aimed specifically at stopping exports of war materials to Japan.
