Both Chambers, with a. total of 40-minutes talking between them, approved the draft of the Bill per- fected by Congress of both Houses, and sent it on to the White House to be signed by President Roosevelt tomorrow noon.

With his signature and with ac- companying proclamatlons ex- pected to be issued soon afterward, the present embargo on arms ship- ments to beiligerents -heart of a gigantic two-month controversy — r ‘ll be repealed and all United States trade with belligerent gov- emmerits in the war zones plac on a. “cash and carry basis.’ ' m'addition to requiring that the belligerents, when buying here, pay cash and fumlsh ships to trans- port thcir purchases, the Bill places severe restrictions on American shipping.
