Will We Pay the Pricep

When congress takes off its gloves and gets down
TO work the neutrality law it ought to be pos
sible find whether the American people are real
ly in earnest when they say keep out of the
next war, no matter how much it costs them.
The argument over the kind of embargo law we
shall haye-whether ii shall apply automatically to
all warring nations or may be applied to one side
only discretion of the presidents really secon-
Diary, important that issue is The crux of the mat
ter depends what going TO embargo.
Munitions of course. The old law cuts off the
planes to warning nations; the will unques-
tonably do the same Since very few of us own mu-
nitions company stocks work for airplane manu-
facturers ii is easy for us to applaud.
But that hardly scratches the surface.
Suppose world should break out in
Europe tomorrow Both sides Immediately would
turn the United States for supplies what kind
of supplies would they be after?
Munitions? Yes, if they could get them But
cry great power in Europe has been devong the last
decade to putting its munitions plants in order.
England Germany, France Italy-all these countries
can make their guns, shells, and airplanes if they
have to.
What they can't possibly make for themselves
is the bulk of the great materials without which
war cannot be fought--wheat, beef OIL cotton and
the like Those the things they will be anxious to
buy from the outside; and those are precisely the
things which America has to sell.
Shall we have the courage to put embargo
them?
1t would be expensive; make mistake about
that. 1t would touch all of us in that sensitive pock
etbook nerve. years embargo on the shipment OF
such commodities would cost stupendous sums.
But there is one thing that would cost great
deal more That would be for us to get into the war
ourselves. And just oil, wheat cotton and beef
helped to get into the last they could help to
get into the next one.
In 1917 Germany made desperate attempt to
starve England into surrender by cutting of those
supplies AS result we had to fight. The attempt to
starve England failed but it failed by the narrowest
margin
Have we any guarantee at all that similar
attempt would not be made in another war? And is
there any chance that could keep of that war
if the attempt made, with American ships, car
goes and being sent the bottom by daily
submarine attacks
We have not thought through this neutrality
problem. There is infinitely to it than muni-
tons Unless have the courage see that the bas-
ic commodities explosive as gun cotton, any
neutrality law get will be sadly imperfect

Plentywood herald., 1937-01-21

The new Congress started off un-
der a full head of steam by enacting
a resolution plugging a hole in the
neutrality act of last year. There
was nothing in the old law TO pre-
vent any American from selling war
war such as is now going on in
Spain. The State Department had
been compelled to grant licenses for
the export of several million dollars
worth of second hand airplanes and
engines which had been sold to the
Spanish rebels by a Brooklyn deal
er who had bought them at a Unit
ed States army auction.
These munitions had already been
loaded on ship when Congress
convened. The effort of the new Con-
gress was to rush the new law
through in time to prevent the ship
from sailing. Congress was not
quick enough. However, it is now
the law that hereafter no American
may supply arms to anybody taking
part in civil war anywhere in the
world.
There is a distinct feeling in
Washington that the State Depart
ment is worried about the European
war outlook. Signs are numerous
that large scale international con-
f1ict is brewing in Spain. This coun-
ry may not become involved, though
there is always that danger, but just
in case, the President has ordered
work to be begun. Immediately on
the construction of the two biggest
battleships that we have ever built.
They will cost about 100000, 900
and will take about three years to
build.
The Constitution
While there is talk heard on every
side about constitutional amend
ment giving Congress authority to
legislate on labor relations, there is
not an immediate likelihood that
such a resolution will be adopted
this year. Congress was considerably
| impressed by the Presidents re-
minder that the Constitution already
has sufficient breadth to permit gov
ernment to meet twentieth century
social and economic problems in a
progressive way, and that all that
is needed is enlightened interpre-
tation'
That is, in effect, what some OF
the members of the Supreme Court
have also said in the past four years
The latest Supreme Court decisions
have given much satisfaction to the
more liberal minded.

opinion has set him free.

Court ruled that when any state
adopts a law forbidding the impor-
tation of prison-made goods, it be-
comes a federal offense to ship such
goods into that state. This decision
