EXPORTATION OF ARMS
SUPPLYING BELLIGERENTS. AN AMERICAN RESOLUTION. fPreBB Association— By Telegraph—Copyright ) WASHINGTON, January 31. The Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives unanimously reported to the House to-day in favour of a resolution by Mr Burton providing for the prohibition of the exportation of arms and munitions or implements of war to any nation engaged in warfare with another. The resolution would prohibit private citizens of a neutral nation supplying belligerents, except under particular circumstances permitted by Acts of Congress. Violation of the provision would entail a fine of 10,000 dollars or two years’ imprisonment. Mr Porter (chairman of the committee) said he hoped that if Congress passed the resolution similar action would be taken in Britain, Japan, France, and other countries manufacturing munitions on a large scale.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
