The locusts arrived, split up into
dozens of small flights instead of, as
Is more usual, coming in one over

completely as If great fire had swept

thrown damp vegetation are being tried
by farmers in an effort to keep the
pest off the lands, but nothing seems
to divert them from their self selected
course.
From two other directions near the
WitwaterSand they are reported, in

"the real source of the trouble is less

could face foreign competition. 1t could

Thus, in the general jubilation here

scarcely open to doubt that anything in
the nature of similar aid to the freighter

accompanied by similar conditions Of
governmental control If not of govern

these conditions will be the carrying out

British harm. Thus the result might
be an abandonment of the London
agreement in the new conference to
meet In 1886.
OF course, If Britain were sure Of
remaining a neutral in the next Euro
pean war the case would be different.
Then British and American interest in
establishing and maintaining neutral
rights" to trade with all belligerents
would be identical. But no informed
Briton expects that his country can
remain neutral In the face of any pros
pect Of German victory over France. for
such victory would be attainable only in
Belgium and Northern France and
would bring Germany again to the
Channel, and this time to Calais and
Boulogne as well as to Antwerp and
Ostend.
The British could stand aside If a
new war resulted in French victory, or
even a deadlock-as they stood aside In
the case of the occupation of the
Ruhr-because there is no essential
clash between French and British in
terests, economic or political. But since
such victory would be achieved, if at all,
on land the naval issue would not arise
Here, therefore, there would be no pros
pect Of Anglo American collision.
European Peril Too Close.
I am not quite clear as to whether
Mr.. Lippmann envisages an Anglo
American alliance. That would, Of
course, open still another question. 1t
Is conceivable that the British, backed
by guarantees of the dominions and Of
the United States to defend the British
Isles against any attack coming from
the continent, might resolve once for all
to retire from all continental RESPONSE
bilities and dangers. They might wash
their hands of all involvementS, remain
neutral even II Germany crushed France
and annexed Belgium and Holland.
naval strength Of the various branches
of the Anglo-SaXon world, plus their
financial and economic resources, would
suffice to assure British security even
against the menace of Germany domi-
mating the continent.
Personally don't believe the British
would stand aside. for the European
peril would be too close and the Amer
ican and Dominion support too remote
and problematical. But, this side of q
hard and fast Anglo-Saxon alliance
(Which for American reasons Is today
out of the question: do not believe
that any pre-war understanding be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States in the matter Of neutral rights
is possible On the contrary. for rea-
sons which have Indicated ! think

even discussion Of that subject must
be fraught with danger of grave mis-
understanding.
My own conviction is that wisdom
dictates we should suffer" not wage"
neutrality in the face of another Euro
pean war in which Britain is a bel
ligerent. For me the objective of Amer
lcan policy, faced with the prospect Of
new European war. to prevent which
1t can do nothing. must be to keep out
Of the melee. Beside that objective the
question of asserting American rights"
or enjoying degree of material profit
Incident to the exercise of those rights"
is insignificant.
Mr.. Wilson's policy broke down be-
cause 1t pursued the double objective of
keeping us out Of war and of main
tanning our rights" against both Ger
man and allied interference. At GER
tain moments we were far nearer war
with the allies than with GERMANY
but at all times we were in danger Of
war not because either group of con-
testants desired to attack us, but be-
cause what we held to be our rights
constituted deadly perils for the actual
belligerents.
We shall become involved in the next
VOL Az GuAOP II VIC IOllLlIluc W lIlleI-
fere in questions Of European arma-
ments, because armed nations will re-
duce their forces only as we insure
their security. We shall similarly be
involved II, after war comes, We under
take to assert rights" which conflict
with the necessities" Of the belliger-
ents. Wise American foreign policy to-
day, therefore, seems to impose neutral
ity in the sense Of non -belligerency. The
price Of such policy is, howeverl the
recognition that the neutral has no
rights" and that to assert any Is to
take the first long step toward bel
ligerency.
Since the next war In Europe, II such
war comes, will be purely European
in its issues and no belligerent will
have any direct or indirect hostility TO
us, we shall be injured only as we get
in the way of policies and projectiles
aimed at others. The outcome Of .hc
conflict, too, cannot affect US. Cur
choice Is between incidental d1seom-
fort and injury and actual participa-
ton In another World War. The former
is the price Of neutrality, the latter the
penalty of the assertion Of rights"
That is why 1t seems to me Mr.. Warren
Is basically sound In urging that the
whole question Of rights" should be
clarified Otherwise when war comes
the question Of national pride and
prestige must turn up promptly and
fatally. But clarification and education
should begin now.

Philippines May Get
u. S. Aviation Laws

MANILA, P. I-Word has reached
here from Washington that because the
Philippine Legislature did not pass
Gov. Gen. Frank Murphy's avia-
ton bill the commercial aviation laws
of the United States Government itself
may be extended to the Philippines by
the present session of Congress. One
American company, the Pan-American,
which lately got privileges IN China, was
much interested In the general aviation
bill. This interest was apart from
Murphy's who drafted the law inde-
pendently Of its advantages to any par
ticular company.
The Pan-American also sought a
franchise from the Legislature. This
franchise was refused. Another fran
chise for local company with Span
ish and German capital in 1t, passed,
and another like 1t, for q Luzon COM
pany with local capital, some of it
American.
These respective franchises practically
bestow monopolies Of commercial avia-
ton. one north Of Manila, one south,
for Is years. They have not been ap-
proved by Gov. Murphy and 1t is pos
sible they will be vetoed, because
Murphy wants no such monopolies to
exist His bill was designed for COM
petitive aviation, fair field and favors
