Congress Passes Embargo Repeal The special session of Congress adJournyd sine die Friday night shortly after completing action on I'real* dent Roosevelt's neutrality revision bill which repeals the arms embargo and places sales of arms, ammunitions and Implements of war on a "cash and carry" basis. The final gavel sounded in the Henato at t>: 20 p. in . and In the House at 6:35 p. in. The measure was rushed to the White House for signature after kJenato and House voted acceptance or a compromise of different bills passed by ttie two chambers. The Senate accepted the compromise 55 to 24, without debate. The House approved It 243 to 172 after desultory lire from Isolationists who had fought unavulllngly for five weeks to keep the present mandatory neutrality act on the statute books, Mr. Roosevelt signed the bill at noon Saturday in the presence of Vice President John N. Gardner and Administration Congressional leaders who charted It through five weeks of rough oratorical waters before the President was triumphant. Mr. Roosevelt Issued a series of proclamations Saturday night, putting provisions of the measure Into effect. Mr. Roosevelt called the legislators into special session on September 21 to consider the bill which he described as the path to peace". Just before adjournment Friday night he transmitted a letter to Garner expressing tho hope that world events would not require him to call another session before the regular meeting m Jn-nuW"' "My dear Mr. Vice President," Mr. Roosevelt wrote, "as It seems probable that this extraordinary session of Congress will bo brought to adjournment within a few hours, may I extend through you to tho members of the Senate my congratulations and good wishes? "1 hope that world events will not make It necessary to have any other extraordinary session. And, therefore, In anticipation of seeing you all on the third of January uext, I extend to you in the meantime my best wishes for a happy Thanksgiving and a merry Christmas. May 1 add that I hope those members from States whose, governors have set November 30 as Thanksgiving L)ay will celebrote both Thanksgivings?the -3rd and the 30th." The reference to two Thanksglv-j ing Days recalled the battle over Mi. Roosevelt's recent proclamation advancing the date of the usual observance by one w-eek. Ho apparently was Jocularly expressing the thought that his neutiallty victory warrants two celebrations. Final Congressional action came! swiftly. After both chambers had accepted j the bill the Senate quickly adopted aj sine die adjournment resolution, forty-six to twenty-live. The House followed suit with a vote of two hundred twenty-three to one hundred eight}-, nine. House Republicans, who have insisted the Congress remain In session during the war crisis, did not offer expected opposition when Cho adjournment resolution was called up.

War And Neutrality Washington, Nov. 4.?The vote# In the House Thursday and Friday, Just before adjournment which Ih tantamount to approval of the Administration's Neutrality program, will, 1 heHove, he welcomed by the people a# ending a long debate which at times tended to confuse rather than clarify the real Issue. When the remaining formalities have been concluded and the Plttuian resolution becomes law. this country will ho on much firmer ground with respect to Its international relations than has been the case in the past. The discarding of the arms embargo will have the effect of withdrawing j the indirect support we have been ex|tending to aggressors and opening | our markets to all buyers for CMb. It was to have been expected, of course, that aggressor nations would I not look with favor on the repeal of the embargo for the very obvious reason that they have been the principal Kuropean beneficiaries of Us consequences during Its lifetime. But, at the same time It should be re in em| borod that, even had'the law not been changed. Hitler sooner or later would have been obliged to resort to the intensified submarine warfare of which ho now speaks, for ho would not have permitted the raw materials of arms and munitions to reach his enemies for any long period of time without exerting every effort to prevent it. Under the terms of the Pittman resolution, when It becomes effective, the Germans will be obliged, however, to direct their efforts at other than American shipping, for our vessels will not be permitted to trade with belllgarents in danger zones. Thus, despite all the misleading assertions "to the contrarY" cfii'ring the recerit tle-' bate, it seems obvious that the bill will safeguard the peace of this country on two fronts?first, by enabling the French and the British to buy the military equlpmont they need to fight their own battle and second, by doing everything that reasonably can be done by law to safeguard against the danger that American lives and property may be destroyed by any of the belligerents. The latter was the chief factor bringing about our involvement in the World War of twenty years ago. The 66-vote margin by which the Administration forces won the House vote on the question of embargo repeal Is greater than expected. Such a large majority was made possible by twenty-one Republican members who voted for the Pittman measure. In closing let me say that this is an American bill. I hope tflth all my heart it* will have a tendancy to make the American people think more seriously about the horrors of war, and I hope it will do a lot to keep us out of this war. I hope it is a neutral bill. I hope it will not be considered an unfriendly act by any nation in this war; but If it helps any belligerents let us pray that It does not help those nations who have robbed the people in Europe, in many instances, of every vestige of human rights, including the right to worship God. according to the dictates of con| science; that it will not help the na' Hons which are today, by subversive ' activity, seeking right here in Amerj ica to undermine our own system of Government. The major provisions of the Neutrality Bill are as follows: The embargo oii shipments of arms, ammunition and implements of war is repealed. American ships are forbidden to | trade with belligerents, except with outlyina countries far removed from the war zone, such as Australia, New Zealand. Capetown and countries or possessions in the Atlantic ftom Bermuda southward. Such exempted i trade, however, applies only to gen1 eral cargoes, and not to arms, amj munition and implements of war. No j ban is placed on rail or Inland wati erway tfade with Canada. | Belligerents may purchase muni! tlons and all other materials from this ! country on a "como-and-get-it and | "cash-on-the-barrel-head" basis. Title j to all goods bought must pass to the , purchaser in advance of shipment. A ) hill of lading would be conclusive evi idence of transfer of title. Belligerent governments cannot obtain credit in the purchase of any materials. Private purchasers In belligerent countries can obtain credit on purchases on all articles except arms, ammunition and Instruments of war. American ships are prohibited from carrying passengers to belligerent ports, except those listed in the trado exemptions American citizens are forbidden to travel on belligerent ships. The President may from time to | time define combat areas, and Amerj ican citizens, vessels or aircraft are prohibited from entering them. American merchantmen are prohibited from arming themselves, except with small arms and ammunition required to maintain discipline. American citizens are prohibited from dealing in bonds or other obligations of a belligerent government iasue<l ftft^r application uftbe neutral Ity act to tho Government. American citizens are forbidden to solicit or receive any contributions for a belligerent, except funds for relief of human suffering. The President Is authorized to make rules governing the use of United States ports by belligerent vessels, and to prohibit belligerent submarines and armed merchant ships from entering our ports or territorial waters. The National Munitions Control Board, composed of the Secretaries of State, Treasury, War, Navy and Commerce, Is continued In existence. Its duty is to regulate munitions exports through a licensing system. !.Li? declared to be unlawful for a foreign merchant vessel to fly the American flag as a ruso to avoid attack. Any vessel found to be violating the provision will be barred from entering U. S. ports or territorial waters for a period of three months. Heavy penalties, running as high as $50,060 fine and Ave years' Imprisonment, are provided for violators of the commerco, combat area and financial transactions provisions. The act does not apply to "any American republic engaged In war against a non-American state or states, provided the American republic Is not co-operating ' with a nonAmerican state or states In such war.". All provisions of the act, except those-dealing with presidential control^oj/the use of ports and setting up the Munitions Control Board, become effective only when the President or Congress, by concurrent resolution, declare the existence of a state of war between two or more nations abroad which might endanger the peace and security of the United States.

Yet they actually cost the publsc less than so-called "cheap" pavements. Concrete is safe because it provides a better "track" for vehicles. From your own experience you know that its even, gritty surface reduces skidding, wet weather or dry. Its freedom from bumps, ruts and chuckholes gives vou better control at the wheef. Concrete's light gray color and high reflection factor help you see oetter at night Yet, with all these advantages, concrete is actually the cheapest road to have. First, because it 4 costs less to build than other pavements of equal load-carrjing capacity.. Second, because . concrete costs less to maintain ?saves hundreds of dollars per mile, every year, compared j with less enduring surfaces.
