Roosevelt says neutrality act failed to keep peace
President Roosevelt this week argued that the neutrality act enacted years ago did not serve the cause of peace and may have encouraged war threats. The act blocks exports of war materials to warring nations when a state of war is declared, allows cash and carry otherwise, and its cash provision expires in May. The House split over government reorganization authority amid a dispute on Congress powers to halt agency shifts. A Texas pension finance plan seeks June 3 votes on a 2 percent sales tax and related levies, with natural resources tax hikes.
