of Argentina, Costa Rica, Honduras,
Italy Japan, Paraguay, Serbia, Spain
and Switzerland, Secretary Lansing
said. Many protests from these coun-
tries have been met by discharging
their nationals who had been con-
scripted.
"The president has found it exped-
lent in the conduct OF foreign rela-
tions," he explained, ito indicate his
willingness to discharge neutral
aliens under certain circumstances al
ter they have been brought under his
Jurisdiction as commander in chief of
the army"
The very fact that these men must
be taken before they can be discharg-
ed constitutes violation of our
treaties, Lansing declared.
Moreover" he added, significant
ly, "the act has given rise to reports
abroad that this government is i'm
pressing neutrals into it's armed
forces-a report which has apparently
been seized upon and advertised by
enemy propagandists with a view to
irritate the sensitive feelings of GER
tain foreign governments"
The gain in conscripting these men
is more than wiped out, in Lansings
opinion, by the dangerous possibilities
to which it gives rise.
