Neutrality Policy Debated in U S Congress
Washington debates a permanent neutrality policy as house and senate committees prepare hearings on cash and carry versus mandatory enforcement. President Roosevelt favors discretionary power for war material sales with cash and delivery duties, while Sen Nye leads a liberal push for mandatory cash and carry. Connally proposes higher taxes to curb war profits, with personal exemptions cut and tax rates rising to 80 percent for individuals and 99 percent in liberal plans. House hearings on neutrality open Tuesday led by Chairman McReynolds, with State Department views to be heard Wednesday before the Foreign Relations Committee chaired by Sen Pittman.
