At the outset it was more or lese strictly conftned ta what is the best policy. an embargo or not, for the United States ta remain strictly neutral and not become involved. There then came the second stage wl.en the pro- ponents-o! repeal admitted a change, The substance of this argument was to -the effect that both the ailied powers are demnocracies fightine dic- tatorial aggressors and the United States needs Great Britain in order to have a defense in the- Atlantic. Senator Edward R. Burke, (D), o! Nebraska and Senator Warren R. Austin; (R), o! Vermont, have been the main contenders for repeal o! the embargo on this theory.

In other words, duririg the last, few days it would seem that the em- phasis in the debate bas shifted ta the question as to whether we should ore eensýIvy than the' questio n as to how we can best be neutrâl.ý It is expected that this generalde- bate wili soon end and the bill itself carefuIly considered f or' amend- ments. Our real problem is not so0 much who caused what war and why, but rather what course we should pursue to keep out of the conflict and give the American peo- pie safety and security.
