NEUTRALITY:
Revision Complete
BRITISH:
Loss
When the house voted 212 to 194
to perm it the arm ing of U. S. m e r
chant ships and allow them to sail
through w ar zones into ports of na
tions at war it am ounted to a repeal
of the neutrality a ct’s m ain provi
sions. F or as the senate had a l
ready adopted the sam e m easure,
the adm inistration’s battle on this
vital issue was over.
As a vote neared on the m easure
a warning cam e from President
Roosevelt that its defeat would be
evidence to H itler that “ the United
States is disunited.” F or a while
there were strong indications of a
Dem ocratic revolt in the house, as
m any m em bers were reported to be
demanding a firm er presidential
stand on defense strikes in return
for “going along” with the Roosevelt
foreign policy.
When the P resid en t’s warning, in
the form of a letter to Speaker Sam
Rayburn, was read before the house,
it was inferred that assurances were
being given that the strike situation
would be d ealt with and m any m em
bers were reported to have then fall
en in behind the White House rev i
sion plans.
M arked by a hectic battle on the
issue, the principal fight centered
repeal of the com bat zone and bel

ROME:
And Hostages
Italy, by arresting 150 hostages in
Jugoslavia as an afterm ath of a
Serbian uprising in which a large
num ber of Italian soldiers and civil
ians were slain and wounded, had
placed herself in position to go into
the hostage-execution business in a
sim ilar m anner to th a t of the Nazis
in F ra n c e and other occupied coun
tries.
In the official casualty list in
G reece and Jugoslavia issued by the
Italians since their arm ies occupied
those countries 179 Italian soldiers
had been reported killed, and 128
wounded.
It was the first tim e since the out
break of the w ar th at the Italian
com m and had resorted to the “hos
tage m ethod” of control or reprisal.
