U.S.A. NEUTRALITY
EXPORT OF WAR MATERIALS WIDE LOOPHOLES LEFT. TRANSFER OF EQUIPMENT TO CANADA. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. WASHINGTON, September 11. In view of indications of Congressional opposition to modification of the neutrality law, such as are contained in a speech by Senator Borah (reported yesterday) two matters of extreme importance were reported today in this connection. In the first place, Treasury officials intimated that every road will be kept open to encourage the export of such items as are not included in the embargo, with commercial credits extended to encourage same. It is acknowledged that 90 per’cent of the things necessary to wage a war can be sold to the belligerents, since they do not fall in the category of "arms, munitions, and implements of war.’ Secondly, American banking circles are informing Canadian quarters that large concerns can send their equipment to Canada for the production of war supplies in the event of the embargo being maintained by the United States.
