An Exact Neutrality.

The act of the man Horne or Van Horne, or
whatever his name may be is first of all grave
crime against the laws of the United States for
which he is liable to prosecution and condign pun
ishment by our own courts before he can properly
be taken out of our jurisdiction by any extradition
proceedings. He declares that his act of
war and maintains that he did not go into Canada
in its preparation. That he did go into Canada
to perform the final act of the attempt to blow up
the bridge is evident from the fact that the ex-
plosion occurred upon the Canadian end of the
bridge, and from his own statement it appears,
therefore, that he made his preparations to per-
petrate his act, with war-ke intent upon Great
Britan's means of transportation, within the
United States. This a distinct and declared
violation OF the neutrality of the United States,
and any failure of Our authorities to duly punish
him for this crime would make accessory to the
act and consequently subject to a grave charge
of officially permitting acts OF against Great
Britain to be perpetrated within our borders.
No demand for the extradition Of Horne be
considered before he has first been submitted to
and been made amcnablc to the decisions of our
own courts. Furthermore it is highly incumbent
a nation and in support OF our national
dignity, as well as in duty to ourselves in
declared neutrality, to demand of the German
goveHment a categorical denial OF any official
State Department has already exceeded its duties
in permitting Germany to violate its obligations
to US unchecked in a manner which smacks
strongly of favoritism the part OF some OF its
officials. 1t permitted Germany, without protest,
to violate its agreement to uphold and respect
the neutrality of Belgium; it prevented American
hnanciers, at the bchest Of the German Embassy,
to refrain from loaning money to France; 1t de-
fcated the attempt of American manufacturers to
furnish to Great Britain munitions of war, namely
unassembled submarine parts, which, under the
accepted laws of nations and the declaration OF
The Hague tribunal they would have been within
their absolute rights in furnishing; it has attempt
ed by its OF protest to Interfere in the we'll
earned power of England to enforce its undcniabe
bclligcrcnt rights OF search and detention for con-
traband all manifcsty in tho interest OF Germany.
But Germany should not be permitted to make
the territory OF the United States base within
which to carry on injurious attacks in the war
against Engand'S colony of Canada. Let the
administration look to it that the people OF the
United States demand the strict maintenance OF
an unbiased neutrality uncolored by any unusual
view or distorted Interpretation OF the principles
OF International law, neutrality just as among
all Of the belligcrents and Of ourselves, regardless
OF the individual leaningS OF partsans, public or
private and based on the common acceptance by
the consensus OF nations a clearly defined by the
rules OF neutrality defined in the laws OF nations
devoid Of any special plcadngs whatsoever.
