China Accuses U. s.
What Did Treaty Mean?

tons to the Orient and said
to private operators, Trade at
your own risk" China accuses
the United States of "a breach
of the spirit of the Nine-Power
Treaty signed at Washington to
guarantee China's territorial in
tegrity."
China's charge isn't surpris-
ing. That kind of accusation
is bound to happen with a dis
cretionary neutrality policy.
Once war has begun between
two nations, and third nation,
to keep herself free of embroil-
ment, bans trade with both ma
tons, the weaker of the two
countries at war will promptly
charge the innocent one with
being unneutral and aiding the
enemy.
That is why I have con-
sistently called for a neutrality
policy which proclaimed to the
world at large during peace
time that if any war breaks out
between two or more nations,
automatically, at the firing of
the first gun, the United States
will institute a "trade-at-your-
own-risk" policy for its ex-
porterS.
MO country could then say
4 that we were playing any
favorites. We would have made
it clear BEFORE war began
that this is what America would
do Immediately on the outbreak
of war anywhere.
1t is too late to say that now
in relation to the Orient, but
it is not too late to establish
that policy in the minds of the
rest of the nations before they,
too, get around to fighting.
The luckiest thing for the
United States is that it is China
that accuses us of being "un-
neutral" Suppose it had been
Great Britain and Germany
who were at war and we an
nounced that United States
Government ships would carry
no munitions or war supplies
to either nation and private
operators must trade at their
own risk?
WE would not be technically
" in the same position in
which we found ourselves from
1914 to 1917, but the results
would have the same effect.
We would be dragged into their
war.
Both nations have great
navies. with the British navy
superior to the German navy.
The Germans. being the weaker,
like China, would accuse us Of
being unneutral and aiding
Great Britain.
But-unlike China-Germany
could and would send her war
ships to Cd sink as many
United States merchantmen as
she could to prevent them 60
ing to the British; 90 lie in
wait outside United States ports
for British ships which would
have free entry and exit under
the protecting cloak of the SUI
perior power of the royal navy,
and 90 if these tactics did not
have the desired effect, then
air raids would be attempted
on American ports as a desper-
ate effort to prevent United
States trade being all diverted
to Great Britain.
Unless we go down on record
that this country goes on a
"trade-at-your-own-riSk" basis
Immediately a shot is fired be-
tween two nations anywhere
else in the world, NOW and
BEFORE any more wars break
out, We'll find ourselves in a
far hotter mess trying to be neu-
trail AFTER two of the really
big boys. with fleets, major air
forces and armies, start to

Connecticut in Midst of Epidemic-ll Towns
 Under Quarantines

Although Connecticut is described as being in the midst of an epidemic of rabies, Waterbury has been de- finitely assured that there is not one case prevailing here.
 Dr. George E. Corwin, deputy state commissioner on domestic animals stated that during the past few months Connecticut has had the worst outbreaks of rabies in years. He subStantiated his state ment with records that show there were 45 positive cases throughout the state from July 1, 1886 to June 30, 1937. H
 There are now II towns in Con. necticut under rabies quarantine, meaning that all dogs not vaccin- ated at least 21 days must be kept at home, or on leash in charge of a responsible persons. Quarantines stay in effect until 90 days after the last positive case of rabies.
 Quarantines have been imposed in Monroe. Shelton, Milford, Dan- bury, Wilton, Weston, Norwalk, Westport and Ansonia. Dog Warden Coleman OLoughlin of this city is proud of the lack of rabies cases in his territory.

ROLLARIA IS re1olcing over the D birth of a son to King Boris III and Queen Joanna, for not un. til now was there an heir to that country's throne. The Bulgarian constitution provides that only a male of royal birth may rule. That excludes 4ls-year-old Princess Marie Louise, while the kings only brother, Cyril, is a bachelor.
 The newly-born Crown Prince, who is named Simeon, after the great Bulgarian ruler of the tenth century, will inherit what his father is believed to detest. For to- day, while the country is under a virtual dictatorship, the king is said to be kept within his palace, far from free to do as he pleases. He became "czar" in 1918, when the termination of the World War caused his father, King Ferdinand, to abdicate.
 Boris is a popular ruler. His hobbies are more democratic than aristocratic. He likes to run
