Morality and Freedom Drive Call to Repeal Neutrality Law
Senator Thomas D Utah told the Senate he would join three Republicans to seek outright repeal of the Neutrality Act. The proposed revision would allow arming merchant ships and entering belligerent ports, while preserving a government control over munitions exports. If the act is fully repealed the control section could be reenacted. The group has not decided floor action, but would back the administration bill if not approved. Tracing World War I causes, Thomas argued it was not arming ships or similar incidents that drew the U S into war.

He did not reveal rates but said rises would mop up money in people’s pockets with limited goods to buy. Officials note possible 5 percent employee tax, though Morgenthau declined to finalize figures. The plan ties to defense spending and deficit financing, with potential borrowing up to 5 billion dollars yearly from social security.
