One of the principal tasks facing
this winters Congress will be the
devising of new neutrality law
The existing one expires on May
l. 1897, and, from the look of things
in Europe, Uncle Sam is going TO
need a new one the way an old
time Kansas farmer needed a
cyclone cellar.
You can expect a tremendous lot
of argument when the subject
comes up. Some lofty ideas are in
conflict. Most Americans want to
remain at peace, lend a helping
hand to worthy international causes,
and live up to their cherished OLD
traditions, all at once, and recon-
Cling these aspirations is apt to
create a severe headache.
1t is generally agreed that we
need some kind of restriction on
our munitions trade with belliger-
ents. The present law embargoes
the shipment of munitions, pro-
hibits loans or credits to warning
countries, and denies American
citizens the right to travel on the
ships of belligerents.
y
AS far as it goes, that law is fine.
But when Congress gets ready to
pass a new law, it will be urged by
many good people to give the pres
ident permission to apply this en-
barge to one combatant only, if he
thinks proper.
The arguments for this are plaus-
ible. 1t is pointed out, for instance,
that with such law we could join
other nations in applying sanctions
to an aggressor nation under the
Kellogg treaties. If European
war developed, we could decide
which side was in the wrong and
use our embargo to penalize it and
to help the other side. Thus, it is

IN CHEER FOR THE NEEDY

perhaps because of the contrast,
Christmas can be the gloomlest season

in other seasons.
The very happiness of others may
reach with the hand of despair into the
hearts of those mothers and fathers who
know that ST. Nick will not visit their
children this year. There is no other
feeling so full of empty helplessness.
II is not in keeping with the spirit of

Bruce Cation Says:>>
Neutrality Law Should Favor No BelIigerent

argued, we could use our influence
to promote international justice.
It sounds very attractive, until
you stop to consider that applying
a one-sided embargo such as that
would almost certainly get us into
the war in a most active manner.
Furthermore, we would be taken
into war by the president alone,
not by Congress-in which body the
Constitution vests the power to de-
clare war. A strong willed presi-
dent could defy Congress entirely
and put us in a situation which
would make war inevitable.
The principal objection to the
wholesale embargo policy comes
from those who hate to discard the
traditional American stand for free
dom of the seas.
For generations, freedom of the
seas was a fundamental point in
our policy. We argued that our
merchant ships had the right to
travel any seas they chose, that the
seas were and of right ought to be
free to all ships that wanted to use
them, and that no warning nation
had the right to block the worlds
trade.
X X X
A lofty ideal, certainly-but are
we ready to go down the line for
it? To make it stick, We would
have to fight for it, sooner or later.
Do we want freedom of the seas
more than we want peace? If not.
we might as we'll stop talking about
it.
A mandatory embargo policy, ap-
plicable to all belligerents alike,
looks like the safest bet Any
other law would give us little more
insurance against war than our old
policy of muddling through and
trusting to luck.

HIGHER PAY-FOR SOME
wall Street JournaD

The American Federation OF labor, in its
most recent monthly bulletin, urges not one
wage rise, but a series Of pay increases. Inc
grounds for this policy are that ''ten million to
fifteen million American families are living be-
low this country's health standard.
It is unquestionably true that there are Sec
tions of the population living below any reason
able decent standard Of living in this country.
For that standard of living TO rise something
more nearly compatible with the populations
rnedian level or at least to have it rise faster
than that of other economic groups, is a legit-
mate objective, but will the wave of increase
demands suggested by the federation bring that
condition about? rs
Quoting the federation's survey of business:
ITO create the capacity living production level
at todays prices would require an income of
S3623 for every family in the United States.
This would be SLIT per hour for a 40-hour week,
with steady work throughout the year. Some
skilled workers have already reached this level
For the vast majority we must count on steady
upward progress, striving first TO lift all to the
minimum health level"
Precisely. Some skilled workers, who are
Just the workers who will be in position to
demand and will demand further wage increases
are at or above the declared average objective
of the federation. 1t is not likely as a prac-
teal matter that they, and their slightly less
favored compeers in the ranks of skilled labor,
would get the benefit of the progressive wage
demands to which industry is to be subjected?
The whole program follows, along the lines
of the 30-hour week proposal, on which The
Wall Street Journal commented yesterday. The
ranks of skilled labor are to receive more in
come and shorter hours; the rest of the country
is to tag along as best it The net result
of these will be that the cost Of living-to
everyone else-would ascend to such proportions

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 81. Wp)-
Clark Gable, who reaped wide pub
licity last summer by knocking
out" a former intercollegiate box
ing champ, is temporarily indis-
posed because he couldn't bear to
pop fellow man on the whiskers.
Object of the Gable benevolence
was Byron Russell, late of the New
York stage.
Cables display of tenderhearted-
ness took place during a scene for
"Parnell" which called for the
great lover of Cadiz, o. to pounce
upon and pummel Russell.
Technique required Gable to send
a mighty blow whizzing past the
Russell ear farthest from the cam
era. after which they were to clinch
while the camera panned for close
ups of them making faces like
couple of Greek wrestlers.
Russell hadn't been let in on the
secret, however. and when Gable
started his mauley from the sixth
row of the left field bleachers Rus
sell ducked the wrong way-placing
his dentistry right in the orbit of
the punch.
Now the merciful Gable is cook
ing a dislocated shoulder under sun
lamps, and taking treatments for
torn ligaments in the broad shadow
of his right ear.
What tanned ferocity exhibited
by the great lover last June when
he allegedly flattened Allen Pom
eroy, ex-college heavyweight cham
pion at Columbia university, isn't
explained. OF course, Gable was
making fight picture then, ("Cain
and Mabel') and ferocity made bet
ter reading.
1t is also possible Gable has been
secretly chicken-hearted all the
time, and that Mr.. Pomeroy did a
swan dive without having been SER
iously discomforted by the Gable
blows, but this column would be the
very last to suggest it.
