One of the first things he did after

that America was itching to join
the fight against them.
Our Peace Efforts
The picture of the United States,
waiting with Wilsonian idealism to
be turned to as the great example
of peace and the mediator of the
conflict, when its sympathies were
all too plain, even to the Allies, is
to be found in the records of inter-
national diplomatic correspondence
of the period.
We got into the war. 1t was a
war to end all wars so when it
was over the victorious nations at
tempted to organize to preserve the
peace - assuming that the status
quo at the end of the war could be
permanently preserved, an assump-
tion sadly shaken since. We had
participated in the conferences of
the Hague and other international
peace movements. Largely at our
own Presidents suggestion, t h e
League of Nations was formed, with
its offspring, the World court, but
we stayed out Of them.
We sat in on the interminable
disarmament conferences. A n d
finally, we brought forth the Kel-
logg pact which outlawed war-on
paper. Unfortunately it did not sue
ceed in outlawing war on the
earth's surface, and perhaps it was
the Kellogg pact of which President
Roosevelt was thinking at Chautau-
qua when he said:
1T is bitter experience to us ,Uhen
the spirit OF agreements to tOhich zoe
are a party is not lived up to. 1t is an
epen more bitter experience for the
iUhole company Of nations to iUitness
not only the spirit but the letter OF
international agreements Violated ,Uith
impunity and ,Oifhout regard for the
simple principles OF honor"
The President cited the nations
attempts to cooperate for peace.

bitter end in the work of the
general disarmament conference.
When it failed, we sought a sep
arate treaty to deal with the manu-.
facture of arms. and the interna-
tional traffic in arms. That pro-
posal also came to nothing.

quently upheld as too neighborly.
The outstanding example of good
neighbors are the United States and
Canada, the President said:
The noblest monument to peace
and to neighborly economic and So
cial friendship in all the world is
not monument in bronze or stone,
but the boundary which unites the
United States and Canada - 5000
miles of friendship with no barbed
wire, no gun or soldier, and no
passport on the whole frontier"
To which his opponents might add
that the lowering of the tariff wall
January l has permitted multiple
increases of imports over that
frontier. But few could disagree
with him when he said: 1--WE seek
to dominate no other nation. We
ask no territorial expansion. We
oppose imperialism. We desire re-
duction in world armaments."

be supposed, ''hate war"

no longer dared to freely climb out

tion, we warn our citizens at home
and abroad to preserve the spirit
and letter of our neutrality.
The country's application of the
neutrality law in the Italian case
has been mentioned. The next ap-
plication was on last August when
the government instructed its dip
lomatic and consular representa-
tives in Spain that it's policy was
one of non-interference, advising
American nationals in the same
vein. This raises fine point. Our
law applies to fighting between two
nations-but the Spanish incident is
a civil war and concerns only one
nation. International law experts
say that political neutrality does
not obligate the nationals of neu-
trail nation unless that nation has
a domestic law which controls
such nationals. From this view
point it seems that our neutrality
law does not cover our nationals in
the Spanish case.
How Business Co-operates
Only one case has been reported
which might reflect the attitude of
American business men with re-
gard to nOn-interference in Spain.
That concerned an airplane manu-
facturer who stood in a fair way to
receive an order. He asked the
governments advice, was advised
not to fill the order, and didn't fill
it.
Whether the cooperation of busi-
ness men With the government rUus so
satisfying in the ItaIo-Ethiopian war

icant in another way, perhaps, is
the fact that the response would
have been equally enthusiastic had
he hated spinach, red flannels or

Decries Fools Gold
The President said that before
the 1892 election, Il have made up
my mind that, pending what might
be called a more opportune mo-
ment on other continents, tn e
United States could best serve the
cause Of a peaceful humanity by
setting an example"
Later on, he said: II wish I
could keep war from all nations;
but that is beyond my power. I
can at least make certain that no
act of the United States helps to
produce or promote war"
The President also said: IF uar
should break out again in another con.
fiHent, let us not blink at the fact that
zoe could find in this country thous.
ands Of Americans Uho, seeking i'm
mediate riches-foois' goid-,Oould at
tempt to break dotcn or euade our
neutrality -.
IF we face the choice of profits
or peace, the nation will answer
1--WE choose peace"
The policy of America, the great
peacemaker, setting an example to
the world, is not new. Long and
often sorrowful accounts of it's high
moral achievement and almost COM
plete physical failure are readily
to be cleaned from even the newer
pages of history.
Rights of Neutrals
But the policy of foregoing the
profits to be collected from other
nations Wars-profits which would
provide work and income for mil
lions of unemployed in order to
maintain absolute neutrality a n d
peace, is new. Because it requires
individual personal sacrifice as well
as collective good behavior, it is
perhaps on even a higher moral
plane than the exemplary policy.
Its possibilities in application have
yet to be tested in any real way.
President Roosevelt admittedly
struck the popular chord when he
gave assurance that the nation
would dedicate itself 10 maintain
ing neutrality in the case of any
war. 1t is little short of innovation
to imply the waiver of the rights
of neutrals to trade freely on the
high seas in time of war.
Yet that, or nearly that, has been
the demonstrated policy of the admin
iSration in the ItaIo-Ethiopim sifua-
tiOn, ,CIien it announced on October 5,
1885, that americans tUOuld deal Uith
6elLigerent nations at their OlUn risk.
Before the European war broke
out in August of 1914, this nation
was definitely committed to neu-
trality and in the two years that
followed made heroic-almost COM
ic-opera-efforts to maintain it. The
government secret agents went so
far as to shadowpersons suspected
of having tendencies other than
neutral, and put them in Jail or
deported them.
Yet with the perspective given us
by the passing of the years it would
seem that our neutrality, while it
was legal fact up to April 1917,
was morally non-existent Ameri-
can sympathies from the start were
with the Allies. They were expertly
