Bruce Cation Says:>>
Real Neutrality Plan Must Hurt Somebody

| Congress moved fast - for Con-
gress-in voting to keep American
exporters from shipping munitions
to war-torn Spain. One shipload
did get away, but it does not look
as if there will be any more, and
all is quiet along the Potomac.
That quiet. however, is beginning
to be disturbed by the plaintive
cries of the lovers of liberty.
These people are complaining that
our neutrality program is not, in
actual fact. a non-partisan affair
Far from bearing on rebel and gov
ernment forces alike, they protest,
it plays right into the hands of the
rebels. For the Spanish rebels have
their own supplies of munitions and
are doing right well with them;
the Spanish government vitally
needs such imports, and, by cutting
off the shipments, our government
is giving valuable aid to the
FascistS.
Since we are apparently fated to
have some sort of rigid embargo
law as part of our neutrality pro-
gram, this complaint is worth ex-
amining carefully = for whenever
we apply an embargo, a similar
complaint will be made by parti-
sans of one side or the other.
And the best way to approach it
is to understand that any embargo
law we pass, in any European war
that may develop, is bound to help
one side ard hurt the other.
1t is 50 in Spain today. 1t would
have been so in the World War.
1t will be so in any war in the
future. We simply can't have an
embargo law that will help us keep
out of war if we are going to try
to apply it in scrupulously fair
and non- partisan manner.
The World War offers the best
illustration. If we had an embargo
law then, it would have hurt the
allies very badly. It would not
have bothered the Germans. for
they couldn't get out and get our
supplies anyway.
The effect of the law would have
been ne-sided-just as the policy
we actually did follow, of selling
munitions to anyone who could
come over and buy them, was one
sided.
But the very essence of our pro-
jected neutrality program is that
we refuse to worry about the for
tunes of warning parties overseas.
That is what real neutrality means.
The moment we start shaping our
policy with one eye on the effect
it will have on this or that Euro
pean group, we cease to be neutral
n

A MOVE FOR PEACE,
NOT FOR HOSTILITY

When the Associated Farmers OF I'M
perial County placed almost 400 men
at the disposal of Sheriff Robert ".
Ware as special deputy sheriffs In the
event of farm labor trouble, it was
move for peace, not one for trouble. 1t
was definite step toward prevention
of injury, bloodshed and property DAM
age such as was experienced In the
valley two years ago.
Sworn in as special deputy sheriffs,
the farmers would be directly under
the sheriff's orders. AS demonstrated
in the past, those orders would be: Pre-
serve the peace!'
If farm laborers or shed workers wish
to strike, no one will prevent them. They
may refuse to work They may even
gather near the places of their former
employment There, however, their ac-
tivities must cease. By trespassing on
property where they are not employed,
by threatening those who wish to work,
or by inflicting bodily harm or property
damage in spirit of intimidation, strik-
ers are violating the law. Such viola
ton should not be tolerated
1t will not be the duty OF the depu-
tized farmers to prevent strikes. 1t will
be their duty only to keep the peace.
Nothing more can be asked.
