Heated Debate Opens On Neutrality Bill
In a sharp House session Rep. Fish of New York charged the administration seeks war through a neutrality measure that would allow arms shipments to England and France while excluding Germany and Italy. He warned the move repudiates five years of non intervention policy and accused President Roosevelt of lax enforcement. The debate was limited to nine hours as Rep.
