ray Butler, president of Columbia
university, today urged repeal of
the neutrality act. ' i - ' i
In letter to the New York
Timet, the nationally, known re
publicans disagreed with their
fellow partisan. Senator Borah of
Idaho, leader of the- senate group
seeking to retain the act.
The neutrality act, Stimson
said, has ' thrown the United
States Into the hands of a group
of nations which "has arisen In
the .world by whom the practice
of military aggression upon their
neighbors has become a well de
veloped art."-
He declared the act had made
more difficult "the defense
against their skillful aggression
by the nations whom they hare
attacked."
International law and tradition
support the practice of purchase
of arms, he said.
Doctor Butler declared Senator
Borah's speech urging retention
of the act "belongs to an age that
Is past"
The university president as
serted the "present miscalled neu
trality act puts us Into this war

Young Roosevelt Sees US no Lose '
In Foreign Trade by Neutral Stand
CHICAGO, Sept. 15. (AP) Elliott Roosevelt said to
night he believed the United States, by remaining neutral,
"need lose nothing in foreign trade, and that, . in fact, it
should be possible for this, country to add to its export
business."
.The president's son, in a radio O-
broadcast (MBS) urged strength-
ening pi unity among the nations
of the western hemisphere.
"It would be gratifying," he
said, "if the United States were
looked upon by the South Ameri
can countries as an elder brother.
but actually our Influence among
those states has been on the wane
for the last 10 years. Those coun
tries have been weaned away by
foreign agents."
Roosevelt averred we should
direct the attention of the people
away from the sordid conflict in
Europe and guide it toward gain
ing the confidence and good-will
of the countries to the south of
us."
He suggested an informal ex
change of business representa
tives between the 'two Americas,
military cooperation and greater
attention by news gathering or
ganizations to "the attitude of
Latin American countries toward
us."
A carefully built structure of
cooperation in the western con
tinents, he said, would make the
Monroe doctrine a "vital" instru
ment.

during the war, we must stay in
them in time of peace as well. It
is madness to send our soldiers to
be killed as we did in the last war
if we turn the couvse of peace over
to the greed, the fear, and the in
trigue of European nations. We
must either keep out of European
wars entirely, or stay in European
affairs permanently.
Versailles Boundaries
Blamed For Outbreak
"Arbitrary boundaries can only
be maintained by strength of
arms. The treaty of Versailles
either had to be revised as time
passed, or England and France, to
be successful, had to keep Ger
many weak by force. Neither pol
icy was followed; Europe wav-l
ered back and forth between the
two. As a result another war was
begun, a war which is likely to be
far more prostrating than the last,
a. war which will again kill off the
best youth of Europe, a war which
may even lead to the end of our
western civilization."
Since 1918, he said, a genera
tion has passed, Europe has not
yet recovered before plunging in
to another war, and America Is
still paying" for her part In the
last conflict.
