Neutrality
Exchange

Exchange
There is being carried on a systematic
agitation in this country against the
sale of munitions of war to European
nations by American manufacturers.
One educated crank has committed sui
eide, after attempting murder and bomb
violence, to prove his devotion to the
cause
Germans are reported to feel bitterly
toward America becauseAmeri a shells
are used by the Allies. German-Ameri-
ca ms over here loudly protest against
the purchase Of American arms by Eng.
land, France and Russia, and indignant.
ly call upon our government to prohib-
it it.
No efforts should be spared to make
these mistaken people see how twisted
is their logic and how unfair is their
protest.
Here is the point. Selling arms to bel
ligerents may or may not be right. 1t is
open to dispute. German sympathizers
are within their rights when they urge
manufacturers not to engage in this traf-
fic. They may bring all the moral sua-
sion they please to bear upon them.
This is a free country.
But for this government to place an
embargo on shipments of arms would
be a distinct violation of neutrality.
The unrestricted sale of arms here hap
pens to bear hard on Germany, for the
simple reason that Germany cannot get
to us. Her ships are bottled up by the
enemy.
Personally, l do lot believe i'll the max
ing and selling war material at all. Many
people agree with me. Various firms
in the United States have refused to &C
cept profit from the nefarious business
These private opinions We are justified
in advancing, and we may properly use
all energy in trying to convert others TO
our convictions. But we have nc right
to advocate that our national govern
ment take a step that would be a clear
act of hostility to one of the European
contestants. Germany has been for years
carefully accommodating ammunition fCr
this crisis. She was ready. She is using
her immense stores. The Allies, on the
contrary were mol ready. They are now
bending all their energies to get ready.
To properly prepare themselves the Al
lies must purchase supplies where they
can. For us to prohibit this i'll our case
would be for us to deprive England and
France of all the advantage they have
gained by shutting up the German feet.
The United States has remained SPLEEN
didly neutral in a very embarrassing sit
uation. While we have individually ex-
pressed our sympathies, we have as yet
doEe no one sided act officially.
The administration has carefully OBJ
served every punctlllo of international
law. 1t has firmly, butcourteously and
particularly, protested against the viola.
ton by the belligerants of the rights Of
neutral nations. Let the German SYM
pathizers, therefore, be as busy as they
like inducing American manufacturers
TO cease from selling arms; but let them
have the grace to cease from the I'M
reasonable and unjust attempt to embroil
our government in the unwarranted net
of violating the spirit of international
law by putting al embargo upon the
expectation of arms, an act which would
be an open deed of hostility to one of
the parties concerned.
