U.S.A. NEUTRALITY
PROCLAMATION BEING PREPARED
EFFECT ON FRANCE & BRITAIN.
AEROPLANE PURCHASES TO BE CUT OFF.
(Received This Day, 8.55 a.m.) WASHINGTON, September 3.
The White House has announced that the State and Justice Departments are drawing up a proclamation involving the Neutrality Act. Apparently a proclamation will not be issued until the United States has been officially notified that Britain and France are at war, which is likely to be delayed by the Sunday and Monday holidays. The proclamation will immediately cut off British and French aeroplane purchases here. It is believed that hardly half such orders have already been filled.
A special Cabinet meeting is called for 2 p.m. tomorrow, at which the subject is certain to be discussed.
