“QUARANTINE” PLAN IN U.S.A. ADVERSE REPORT BY HOUSE COMMITTEE WASHINGTON, April 27. The Foreign Affairs Committe of the House of Representatives adversely reported on Representative Byron N. Scott’s resolution to make effective President Roosevelt's “quarantine” concepts, and the House voted to table it, thus ending the matter.
Under Representative Scott’s resolution the present Neutrality Law of the United States would be replaced by an unofficial boycott of the so-called aggressor nations. The President would be required to inform the House what nations have in recent years violated treaties such as the Kellogg, Briand and Nine-Power Pacts. It was expected that President Roosevelt would reply naming Germany, Italy and Japan, and then Representative Scott would introduce a joint resolution deprecating aggression and advocating a popular boycott and requesting the President to call a convention of signatories to the treaties mentioned, at which the establishmen' of an official international boycott would be advocated.
