allies violated neutrality because ne
expressed his convictions. Neutrality
is not such pathetic silence regarding
the issues Of the war as we have seen
in the senator of our state. Neither is
it a lettering of the government, an
impossible delicate balancing OF the
interests of two warning countries.
Neutrality is correct action in accord
ance with international law.
Lansing could not agree to modify
the rules OF international law on &C
count of special conditions. In fact,
Germany, having entered the war I'M
der we'll known rules, made at the
start what the world regarded as
foul lunge on Belgium, with no UNI
pire to call her down, and then wanted
the rules changed during the course of
the game. With cheek characteristic
of recent German diplomacy she asked
it in the name of neutrality.
Pacifists have argued that even if
legal and neutral, it is still not moral
to allow the expectation of instruments
to kill But where can one draw the
line between the sale of firearms and
the expectation of copper, nickel, cot
ton, and other materials wherewith to
make them? In modern warfare Pc
troleum, clothing, food, are all ammu-
nition To stop their expectation
would have brought our working
classes great industrial distress. Our
government would not have been NOR
ally justified in doing this. IN fact, ii
the sale of munitions is questioned on
the score of neutrality, we must then
ask and answer the question whether
it would have been moral to withhold
our aid to an outraged humanity
Above all, the sale of munitions was
wise The whole world was atlre.
There was danger that at any moment
some unforeseen circumstance, such
as the sinking of the Lusitania, would
drag us into the caldron. Our army
was puny, our congress was inactive,
our peace-loving president opposed to
preparedness. The increase of our
munition factories was our only prepa-
ration for black emergencies. To have
suppressed it would have been suicidal.
If the right to trade in arms with
neutrals is abandoned, each nation
must depend upon it's own supply OF
arms. Victory will go to the side
which makes concealed preparations
and springs Unexpectedly upon its foe.
The small nation, no matter how CIVIL
lied, will lie helpless before the big
one. All nations will be forced to keep
armed to the teeth Military service
will become universal and the organ
ization of the world will be based upon
might.
Such militarism is an abomination
to our people. 1t is recession from
principles of mercy and forbearance.
| 1t reverts to the law of the jungle. In
the New World we have lived in peace
for century with no military line be-
| tween us and Canada. European poll
| cies have fenced each country with a
military border. Shall we allow the
military lines of Germany to touch our
| shores?

The right to buy arms is absolutely
vital to the safety of a peace-loying
people. The less nation thinks and
plans for war, the more necessary 1t
is to import arms in time of sudden
trouble For this reason shipment OF
arms to warning nations by the citizens
of a neutral country has been unlyer-
sal usage and has become an accept
ed principle of international law This
right was expressly stated in 1907 in
the seventh article of the Second
Hague Congress of Nations and was
ratified by the United States, Ger
many, Austria, and twenty-five other
states.
The United States has both prac-
tised and preached this doctrine, be-
ginning with Jefferson in 1898. 1t
has always depended upon the right
and power to purchase arms in case
of foreign attack" AS our Secretary
of State, Lansing, said in his master
full reply to the Austrian note OF pro-
test: "This right which it claims for
itself, it can not deny to others.
Germany's practice has been exactly
like ours. Her factories sold enorm-
Gus quantities of munitions in the
Russo-Japanese and Balkan wars.
They even supplied Turkey in its war
against Italy although Italy was then
the ally of Germany, and was bound in
a triple alliance Our one-sided sale
of arms to England in the present war
is exactly matched by Germany's sale
to England in the Boer war. The
Beers were shut off from the seas
even more completely than the Ger
mans are today. Who ever discovered
that the Germans on account OF their
one-sided sale of arms had the slight
est hesitation in helping England win
the war?
With this past record in selling mu-
nitions it is no wonder that Germany
used Austria as her cats-paw in an eff
fort to stop our sale of arms. In her
protest Austria admitted the legality
of our trade but because it had be-
come one-sided and enormous, chal-
lenged it's neutrality. This was a
strange attempt to make it appear that
our country became unneutral when it
exercised its neutral rights. Germany
could not risk fight at sea and, wish
ed America to counterbalance this
weakness by Withholding food and mu-
nitions from her enemies.
Nobody can claim that we did not
sell to Germany as long as we could.
Copper she imported in enormous and
unprecedented quantities during the
two years just preceding the war We
know now why. About year ago the
submarine Deutschland made its ia
nous trip to New London and sailed
away from our harbor loaded with a
cargo of nickel.
Much popular confusion exists as to
what neutrality is. Neutrality is an
attitude taken by the government OF a
nation. 1t does not mean a suspension
of judgment by it's people. Before our
entrance into the war neither the Pro-
German nor the sympathizer with the

we were drifting on the ocean we fin
ally got the lantern | mentioned, lit,
after an hours work or so and that is
how the trawler located US. On
boarding the trawler we were almost
all killed. The tide and waves were
strong at the time and as the two
boats came together they began to
smash and we could not b I'D them
apart; of course the small boat got the
worst of the encounter each time. In
the melee while trying to stand up
with the light so the trawler's crew

thrown overheard, but | managed
with the assistance Of the others to
get in again and the next instant as a
wave swept us high beside the trawler
the balance of us leaped for the rail,
caught it and pulled safely aboard.

were moving about as rapidly in
those four hours as they ever have in
