Cannot Change Laws.
THE Administrations position has
not only been perfectly neutral, but
It could not have been otherwise
without a palpable and Intentional
violation of the rules governing neu-
trality. This government is not at lib
erty to materially change the rules OF
international law during the war be-
cause every change suggested is dis
cussed, not upon its merits as an alb
stract proposition. but according 70

test. Those who wanted to lay an
embargo upon the shipment OF arms

that Il would hasten peace. but II y
strange that they could have over
looked the fact that the only way In
which such action on our part could
hasten peace would have been By
helping one side to overcome the
other. -
while the attacks upon the presi'
