Whereas such conduct by the Department of State in the war in 
     Asia is political intervention in Asia and is wholly unneut-
     ral; and
 
Whereas such conduct cannot but involve the United States on 
     the side of Great Britain in its differences with Japan and 
     must ultimately lead the United States into war' Therefore 
     be it
 
1 Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
 
2 of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
 
3 That the United States should maintain a policy of strict
 
4 neutrality in relation to the war now taking place between
 
5 China and Japan and disassociate itself from Great Britain,
 
6 whose political and economic interests in China are para-
7 mount and are now in 'conflict with the interests of Japall, 
8 and that war with Japan in support of British interests would 
9 mean disaster for the United States.
