WASHINGTON--Sen. Key Pittman, D., Nev., leader of President Roosevelt's fight to repeal the Arms Embargo section of the Neutrality Act, today angrily challenged his isolationist fees to add cotton, oil and American-mined metals to the embargo list to prove their sincerity.
Describing the three commodities as "instruments of mass murder," Pittman said that the embargo as it now stands "has not stopped war" and "has not discouraged war."
Waving his fists and shouting, he said--"If you want to be sincere, don't stop at an embargo but stop the shipment of things that contribute to mass murder."
