TOWER SPEAKS ON RIGHTS OF NEUTRALS Says America Faces Problem Which Will Tax Powers
 of Diplomats

1 Philadelphia. February e2-Sctting forth our rights and duties as neutra g 1 In the present European war, Charle-
 masne Tower, former American ambas-
 sador to Germany. in an address to the l Pennsylvania alumni here tonight de-
 clared that up 10 the present moment l the President of the United States has
 scrupulously guarded the interests of the
 people in fulfilling these obligations to all concerned and has admirably main aained the dignity of the nation. "Ameri-
 ca" he continued lis powerful enough to maintain her Independent attitude; she is too great to be partisan.
 We have our rights as neutrals which arc recognized by international law. we have especially the right to carry on unmolested our commerce and trade and to deal freely with any beligerent, sub ject, of course, to the rules as to con treband of war. As we deal fairly with each of the nations in respect to our neutrality in the conflict so we expec. that they will show us the same fairness in regard to our commerce and trade.
 But above all else. there is thing w must demand. They must let the American flag alone. It must not be hoisted falsely any foreign ship It must not be trifled with by any one.
 We are facing a situation fraught with difficulties, and We are likely to see arise at any moment questions Of such d,licacy as to tax the judgment and the skill of our most experienced statesmen to solve. An accident anywhere might give rise to q storm of feeling which in moment of uncontrolled impulse might leao to the most deplorable results quite against the better judgment of the nation. It is our most pressing duty now to pre- vent such an occurrence. and by keeping before ourselves the standa fds of life that We have set up for our guidance in America, to exert our influence toward patience and forbearance, in order that justice may triumph in the end.
 We are the only great power entirely free from European obligations of any klno- We have the respect and confi- dence of the nations involved in the war How gladly should welcome them if tley turned to us and gave us the op- portunity to re-establish the peace of the world"
