Stimson and Shotwell are slated to criticize neutrality act provisions. Uncertain if State Department officials will attend. Hull argues the act’s application to the Japan China conflict would defeat legislators’ aims. If Japan declared war on China, the act would likely be mandatory, a scenario the administration wants to avoid.
