Hitchcock Sees Hard
Road Ahead for His
"Neutrality'' Bill
'WASHINGTON, Dec. lo.-Frellmlnary
eonatde.ra.tlon wilt be given tomorrow by
the foreign relations committee to Sen
ator Hltchoock's bill to prohibit exporta
tion to belligerent natlona of munttlona
of war and to Senator Worka' bill to
prohibit exports not only of contraband,
but of food, clothing or other necessaries
which serve to prolong the European
conflict.
"I am aurprtaed te find," aald Senator
Hitchcock today, "that many In congrees
who alwaya hare been earnest advocates
of peace do not favor legislation at this
time to prevent the exportation of arms
to European belligerents. I have talked
with many of them on this aubject torn
of them for years Identified prominently
with movements for the ' establishment
of universal peace and they have aald
theye were not In sympathy with thla
bill at thla time because Itwould prove
a hardship to nations already at war.
"Take this sort of men and add them
to those .who are not advocates of uni
versal peace x and those whose con
stituents profit by the manufacture of
arms and you will find that we have a
rather difficult taak ahead with a bill
suoh as I have proposed."

Alllea la Weet Waltla.
While It aeema clear that Germany Is
operating Ita main force In Poland, there
la still no outward Indication of a general
advance on the part of the allies In the
west. That Oeneral Joffre. the French
rommaniler-ln-chlef, is feeling out the
situation aeema apparent, but no long as
artillery duels Continue to constitute
most of the fighting, only slow progress
has been expected, as It la a military
maxim that gune alone cannot bring a
decision. Germany haa ahlfted ao many
of Ita troops to the eastern arena that
the allies must now clearly outnumber
them In France and Flanders. This con
dition together with the forwarding of
French and British reinforcements, la
leading Berlin, according to report, to
expect pronounced activity on the part
of the allies at any moment

"We are spending 130.000,000 on our
army . aad navy. - Why should net we
spend this so as to produce the moat
efficient result possible rather than a
result whloh Is admittedly lnefflclentT"
Mr.' Rtlmson assailed tha naval- policy
which would keep the American navy on
the defensive In guarding the coast In
tha event of war.
"In order to defend thla country the
navy must be free to fight the enemy's
fleet wherever that enemy can be fought
with the beat chance of American suc
cess," he said. "Our navy must' not be
tied down to our coast '
"In the case of our army, our needs
can be classified and summarised under
three heads:
. ' " First Meed. ..
"First,' we need a moderate Increase of
our regular army, to be accomplished
mainly by the introduction of a. reserve
system.
"Second, we need to lay the intelli
gent foundations upon which we can,
when war cotnes, promptly organise the
large cltliea or volunteer - army with
which that war muat be fought
"Third, we muet'at onoe acquire a suf
ficient' reserve of the field guns and am
munition and ether war material which
will be at once needed for the equipment
of such a cltlaen army and yet which
cannot be' extemporised under emerg
ency." . .
Mr. Ptlmson said the training of United
States cltisens from boyhood In the use
of rifles, as tn OnHtserland and Australia,
Is imperative.
."I aia Informed that we have new S00
funa," continued Mr. SUinson. "and am
munition to serve them about one an4
one-halt daya To send out modern in
fantry without the protection of field
guns against an enemy armed with thorn.
Is simply murder.'
