remaining prerogative-the right of

In the first place, the purpose would

Anything else would mean the penal

Asked General Authority.
1t was with this Chaco situation pri-
marily in mind that President Hoover
asked Congress for authority in his
discretion. to limit or forbid shipment
of arms tor military purposes In cases
where special undertakings can be
secured with the principal arms
manufacturing nations" In this re-
quest he safeguarded the rights OF
American manufacturers against dis
elimination, but. unfortur ately. he
asked for general authority instead OF
simply for the one case. That the
other nations would have co-operated

representatives of all the principal

secured a promise of their support.
There we're two practical reasons
why this bill, sent to Congress by Mr..
Hoover, was never passed. One was
that Congress in 1882 and 1888 was
not giving the President any author
ity to do anything; the other. was
that the bill was too general. too
vague in its provisions. should have

Stimson Cited Other Embargoes.
Mr.. Stimson. in a memorandum Of
February 8, 1888. to the House Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs, attempted
TO show that little danger would re-
suit from possible breaches of neu-
trality If, for example, the President
should decide to prohibit shipment to
one only of two belligerents. He re-
ferred to the fact that since 1922 the
Government has been able to declare
an embargo on the shipment OF arms
to China and to countries in this
hemisphere when domestic violence Is
rife. and asserted that because this
right had been employed effectively
and without incurring charges of nom
neutrality, similar action under the
pending bill would be equally safe.
Leaving aside the fact that the
cases of domestic violence are, in their
nature. very different from cases OF

BY WILLIAM r. CASTLE, JR.,

Former United States Undersecretary Of
State.
~ HERE is one reason and one
only for placing an embargo
on the sale of arms to foreign
countries. That reason obvl-
ously has to do with war. 1t
is believed that by preventing arms
from reaching certain disturbed parts
of the world the danger OF war may
be diminished, or, if fighting has al
ready begun, that it may be brought to
an end. The purpose is humanitarian.
1t is wholly laudable. But it is futile
unless it attains the end in view and
it may well be perniciouS if the result
is different from that expected. Rome
not only could have but did fight its
interminable wars without using any
one of the weapons prescribed by the
Convention for the Supervision Of the
International Trade in Arms and Am
munition and in Implements of War.
signed in Geneva in 1925 and Just
now sent once more by the President
to the Senate with the request that
it consent to ratification.
Mr. Coolidge sent this convention to
the Senate with request for consent
to ratification; Mr.. Hoover made the
same request; now Mr.. Roosevelt has
added his argument and the treaty
may well have been ratified before
this article Is published. The con-
vention is very long, very detailed and
not always clear in meaning. Its
principal value is that it forces pub
licity in the sale of armament and
that it makes such sales practically
impossible in certain undeveloped
parts of the world, proviso which
should make native revolts much less
likely.
Indicates Realization of Danger.
The conventions principal impor-
tance. at a time when the Disarma-
ment Conference is about to disband,
is that it demonstrates that there is
still the possibility of international
action along cooperative, humanlta-
rian lines. That this particular con-
vention would. as President Hoover
said in a message to Congress, con
tribute to the ends being sought by
the entire world for the prevention
and limitation of war" seems very
doubtful except in so far as its adop-
ton by all the nations of the world
indicates a growing and healthy real
ization OF the dangers of uncontrolled
traffic in military supplies.
More directly important for the
prevention and limitation of war" is
that there shall somewhere be lodged
legal authority to prohibit the export
of arms to disturbed areas. The
President asked Congress for such
authority to prohibit. with other
arms-producing nations. the sale of
arms to the participants in the Chaco
dispute, and Congress Immediately
granted the request But, except in
these specific cases. to devise legisla-
ton which will carry out the intended
purpose and no other is by no means
simple.
