Proposal One of Four Ad.
vanced in Neutrality De-
bate at u. of V.
BY the Associated Press

CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va. July o.
DR.. Clark M. Eichelberger, director Of
the League Of Nations Association,
termed the refusal OF the United States
to join the League aS the greatest
single tragedy OF the postwar period
in an address last night before the
Institute OF Public Affairs at the Uni
versity OF Virginia
DR.. Eichelberger, charging that
American history IS . denial Of our
ability to be neutral" declared that
the United States can no more escape
the results Of another World War than
1t can escape the preparation for 1t.
The other speaker in the Joint deba te
on the question Can America Remain
Neutral?" WAS Representative H. Jerry
Voorhis. Democrat, Of California, who
advocated a national referendum on
war as one of four ways by which he
said America can remain neutral.
Policy Not Adequate"
Our neutrality policy Is inadequate
for the United States, because It Il q
policy OF trying to stay out Of war
rather than trying to prevent It," DR..
hchelberger said, reviewing the United
States experiences with neutrality
legislation.
He termed the United States great
power" but asserted that "our absence
from the League Of Nations has been
the greatest factor tn weakening it,"
DR.. Eichelberger pictured the United
states IS "retreating to its isolation, ''
after making victory in the World War
possible. and not assuming the re
sponsibility" attendant with that VIC
tory.
Voorhis declared America "can re-
main neutral and keep the peace If
America does four things and does
them now"
His four-point plan included: Writ
Ing into the Constitution the Ludlow
amendment which gives to the Amer
ican people the right to decide by na-
tional referendum whether they want
to 60 to war; halt the growth of 4
boom in munitions and war materials
before 1T becomes 4 Frankenstein
monster: discovering and putting into
practical operation" the positive side
of the good neighbor policy" and
making the Nation propaganda
proof"
Weuld Tighten Bonds.
THE United States can continue the
work already started at Buenos Aires
Of building an American peace-group,
covering the entire West Hemisphere. +"
Voorhis declared Bonds of trust and
understanding. the basis for increasing
trade and interdependence In this
Hemisphere, should be forged as tight
~ as possible. The stronger our pure
~ American ties become. the weaker
the drive to involve us in old world
brawls will be-
The unequal distribution" of sources
Of food, raw materials and markets
among the nations u "one Of the
strongest factors making for war TO-
day." Voorhis said.
