As Washington Sees It
THE-HATIONAL SCENE
I
Washington. Doc. IB.— Are we go-1
ing to rcvi.^e our neutrality laws to
make it legal for us to give greater'
help to Great Britain?
That's the most important subject
under discussion here tixlay. That,
and the fait that the president has
been on a lishing trip. For. to most
of Washington a fishing trip heralds
an important decision, and it is ex
pected that soon after the president
returns he is apt to say just what he
thinks we should do about increasing
help to Britain and making it pos
sible to loan money to that country.
, Tile visit of England's Sir Freder
ick Phillips to Washington, is also
expected to bring to a head a deci
sion on the loan to Britain question.
Sir Frederick came here primarily to
lay the groundwork for loans and to
I'l'escnf* figures to show the present
tinancial strength of the British em
pire and its ability to pay. He has
said that Britain is now spending
about S45.(t00.(i00 a day on the war
au<! that help will lie needed soim.
Question of Involvrmmt ‘
i'l' the people in this country, and
ti' • congress, the problem isn't so
much how Englapd will pay. It i.s
more how, much we w:ill be involved
in the war it wo decide to repeal our
law wh'cii now pre\ent> loans to na-
1.1 ills which haxen't paid their debts
Horn the last war.
That law was one oi several which
were )'as-cd in ordcT to keep our
louiuiy IP. neutral iiosition. Among
ilic people as well as among con-
gi e.-sinen. llu re is a wide cli\''ision of ■
( pinion on what should be done. The'
ciuestion rcwolces arcuind the one
}'oint wliich atU'cts so many decisions
in Washington today — namely: Are
we wiliing to ii.-k war for America
in order to aid Britain's chances of
cieleatmg the Axis powers?
