critical conditions did not exist. The
entire question of peace and neu-
trality at this serious juncture in its
possible effects upon the safety and
the interest of the United States

most Importance. This question
should, in my judgment, receive full
and careful consideration and be
acted upon by this Government
without unnecessary and undue de-
lay. CORDELL HULL.

through other circumstances, should

neutral nations of embargoes.
The opposition to the present sub
stitute proposal joins issue on this
point, and stands for existing rigid
embargo as permanent part Of our
neutrality policy. And yet by insist
ing on an arms embargo in time OF
war they are, to that extent, for the
reasons I have stated, urging not
neutrality, but what might we'll re-
suit in actual Immortality, the Sc
rious consequences of which no one
can predict.
Those who urge the retention of
the present embargo continue to
advance the view that 1t will keep
this country out of War-thereby
misleading the American people to
rely upon false and illogical delu-
sion as a means of keeping out of
war.
say it is illogical because, while
the trade in arms, ammunition and
implements of war" is at present
banned, the trade in equally essen
tlal war materials, as we'll as all
the essential materials out of which
the finished articles are made can
continue. For example, in time of
war, we can sell cotton for the manu-
facture of explosives, but not the
explosives; we can sell the steel and
copper for cannon and for shells.
but not the cannon nor the shells:
we can continue to sell to belliger-

been endeavoring persistently, with
in the limitations of our traditional
policy, over a period Of many years
to do its utmost to avoid the out
break of general war. I earnestly
hope that the Congress will lend the
fullest measure of its cooperation in
the endeavor to avoid war in the
first place and to place this country
in position of the greatest security
possible, should war break out. In
the tragic event that peace efforts
fail and that major war occurs,
there will be general agreement
within the United States that every
effort must be exerted to keep this
country from being drawn therein.
must also refer to the impression
sedulously created to the effect that
the sale of arms, munitions and i'm
plements Of war by this country Is
immoral and that on this ground it
should be suppressed in time of war.
AS matter of fact almost all sales
of arms and ammunition made in
recent years by our nationals have
been made to governments whose
policies have been dedicated to the
maintenance of peace, but who have
felt the necessity of creating or of
augmenting their means of national
self defense, thereby protecting
otherwise helpless men, women and
children in the event that other
powers resort to war. In the face
of the present universal danger all
countries, including our own, feel
the necessity of increasing arma-
ment, and small countries in partic-
ular are dependent upon countries
like the United States which have
the capacity to produce ornaments.
Our refusal to make it possible for
them to obtain such means Of neces-
sary self defense In q time Of grave
emergency, would contribute solely
