Definition OF neutral rights and
policies has been an intricate and
delicate problem in times of 1Ddr.
Our 0,Dn handling OF the Ques-
ton has been paried through the
last $50 years and is noD the sub
ject OF most intense controversy
as conflict RACES in Europe. The
tolloDing article is the first OF u
series of Jour sketching the back
ground OF this controversy.
Foundation stone in the estab-
lishment of rights of neutral ma
tions in time of war, and back
ground for the formation of neu-
trality policies, is international
law.
TraceabIe in some form or
other through centuries of world
history international law is a
loose and often debated code en-
bracing "a great body of custom
and precedent, of treaties and
conventions, of weighty opinions
and authoritative court decisions,
of arbitral awards and instruc-
tions issued by civilized nations
for the guidance of their diplo-
matte and other organs, of his
toric state papers, and the texts
of historians and juristS."

Mayor PerrielIO Denies New Secretary Choice
 of William J. Pape

Pape, local publisher, was made today by Mayor Patrick M. Perriello. He asserted that he decided the appointment himself, without influence from any source.
 The mayor also denied that the replacement of Joseph T. St. Louis, who resigned as his secretary yes terday, was a retaliatory move be- cause Controller Martin J. Sweeney had dismissed several Republican employees from his staff. MT. St. Louis resignation is effective Sat- urday.
 MT. Foster, who was dismissed as purchasing agent by MT. Sweeney several weeks ago, is strongly backed by MT. Upson and MT. Pape. An attempt was made to restore him to his position by aldermanic action but a resolution giving the mayor power to appoint purchasing agent was ruled illegal by Corporation Counsel Vincent Scully. Appointment of MT. Foster IS be- ing criticized in some Republican circles, friends of Alderman Thomas Bane being particularly incensed MT. Bane is former assistant cltJ purchasing agent.
 MT. Foster came into the hmellgh first when selected by the late Con troller Sherwood L. Rowland serve as purchasing agent. Critic of his appointment declare that n' was never active in party affairs and that the secretaryship should have been given to someone mor' deserving politically.
