NEUTRALITY LAW
BELIEVED TOO LAX
Senator Pope Says Profit
Greed of U. S. Shippers
May Cause War.
8y the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
TACOMA, Wash, November g.
Senator James P. Pope warned last
night that the recently enacted neu-
trality legislation fails to prevent the
United States from shipping to Italy
products which can be converted into
munitions for use against Ethiopia.
Asserting private individuals seek
ing profits cause wars, the Idaho DEM
ocrat told the World Affairs Council
that this Nation can ship cotton to
italy from which Italy can manufac-
ture all the gun powder she can ever
use"
I'VE can ship wheat, without which
the army can make no progress" he
added.
We can ship steel. which can
quickly be converted into projectiles."
Lost Ship Is War Threat.
He asserted that the sinking of a
ship carrying such cargo might we'll
lead to another war.
The security of the United States
against becoming involved in armed
conflict depends upon the security
of the world, and the best way in
which we can protect ourselves is to
endeavor to prevent wars from start
ing" he said.
In every spot of the earth's surface
where profits might be found. Amer
lean citizens are busily engaged in
the search.
If we are going to be strictly neu-
trail We must stop all that. We must
bring our citizens home and keep them
here.
Many times I have been asked the
question, Can America be neutral?'
The best answer is. believe. Amer
lean can be neutral, but won't
Two Phases Of Question.
1--WE must consider the matter COM
mercially and automatically as it
actually exists. We have only two
alternatives. We may either be COM
pletely and unequivocally isolated and
give up all the trade and financial
contacts with foreign nations engaged
in war. or We may continue to trade
as usual. If We continued to trade as
usual and forego neutrality we are
likely to become involved in the next
major war.
The greatest difficulty about the
problem of neutrality is that you can't
have your cake and eat it too Foreign
trade by which We dispose of export
able surpluses of commodities pro-
duced in America is essential to any
degree of prosperity.
The neutrality legislation so far
enacted is helpful, in that it has
helped to reduce friction. I favor
such legislation, but it does not go to
the heart of the problem"
