REPEAL ADVISED
NEUTRALITY ACT REPORT OF I S. SENATE COMMITTEE Washington, Oct Zti. Virtual repeal of the Neutrality Art was essential to combat Germany’s unrestricted sea warfare and would not change the United States’ neutral status, declared the majority report of Ihe Senate foreign Relations Committee referring to the Neutrality Bill. The report added that it appeared to be a fixed policy of the Nazis to aim to sink American merchant ships wherever found. “If the United States prohibits its ships from entering any area where the possibility of being sunk exists, that we would prohibit our ships going •anywhere except by permission of the Nazi submarine commanders.” The report said the United States was inconsistent in pledging full aid to the Democracies and then adhering to the restrictions standing directly in the way of carrying out the promise U.P.A.
