PAGE TWO The OREGON STATESMAN. Baton, Oregon, nidcy Morning September 23. 1341 I V. I ' t - - t t. -4 Neutraliiy Act Fight Is Seen Resolution Submitted To Senate Asks for Repeal of Measure (Continued from Page 1) the hands of the arrressor na tions." The embargo was repealed In November, 1939, and a new neu trality law passed. At present the principal provisions of the neu trality - act prevent American ships from being armed, or from traveling Into combat zones. McKellar, in Introducing his resolution, told the senate the law should be repealed in its entirety. The government, he said, was "paying virtually no attention to it," and it should be withdrawn from the statute-books for that reason and because it interferes with the freedom of the seas. . . Senator Taft (R-Ohio) mean while took the position that re pealing the act would be the equivalent of a declaration of war. At a minimum, he said, it would authorize the adminis tration to carry en an undeclar ed war. He predicted a bitter battle in the senate over the issue. Rep. Wadsworth (R-NY) was of the opinion that the house was ready to repeal or modify the act, and said he hoped it would be "wiped off the Statute books." Rep. Woodruff (R-Mich) said: "Every informed member of congress, and every informed observer in Washington knows that President Roosevelt has not left a vestige of the neutral ity act unvlolated in spirit, If not In letter. . - "Judging by Mr. Roosevelt's past performance, it would mat ter, little to him whether the' con gress did or did not modify or repeal the ragged remnants of the neutrality act, because Mr. Roosevelt in effect repeals or modifies and amends statutes to suit himself when he feels the occasion demands." WASHINGTON, Sept 25-yPh Secretary Morgenthau shook tip congress and the stock, market Thursday by disclosing that treas ury experts already were draft ing proposed legislation to carry out his suggestion that corpora tion profits be limited to 6 per cent until the emergency ends. When the treasury, secretary . first advanced this idea Wed nesday, there had been an ap parent disposition in congress to regard it as one not to be taken too seriously. That seem- ed to be the feeling In Wall . 8treet also, for , stock dealings this morning were slow. But, at midday Thursday, Mor ganthau told a ' press conference that his aides were putting Into legal language for presentation to congress his proposal that all cor poration profits in excess of 6 jer cent be siphoned into the government's coffers by taxes. ; "We will be ready whenever congress wants to get to work on it," he said. Wall Street took this to mean that the move had the blessing of the administration and a fair chance, perhaps, of becoming law. Prices of many stocks quickly fell 1 to 5 points, though some recov ered before the close.
