MUTINY ON The BOUNTY
(THlare AdUdnce Regisfer)

The Strangest, most prepOSterOuS mu-
tiny In all history was launched last week
on the biggest liner ever floated on the
industrial high seas-mutiny by men,
bers of the WPA crew of the good ship
Federal Bounty.
Other ships have foundered in stormy
weather of late years Buffeted vessels
of private industry have gone down here
and there, and their anxious crews have
struggled gamely to get new jobs-berths
of any sort, on any ship. But the WPA
ship was equipped with every safety de-
vice the government could provide. So
huge it had a crew of millions, its pay
list was guaranteed by the crews and
owners of the individual ships of Com
merce, Industry and Agriculture-who
Clipped in their taxes to maintain the gi-
gantic craft.
But the WPA crew struck-because
a ships plumber, receiving $84 a month
for AZ hours labor, was asked to work
five hours day, six days a week! That
crews mutinous leaders struck against
the most generous captain a crew ever
had-Uncle Sam.
They struck against the government
that built their vessel against a law and
against the real owners of the good ship
Federal Bounty, the American people
And the Captain, at this writing, has
sternly ordered those mutineers to report
for duty, or go ashore and look for some
thing else, while he puts the Bounty out
OF service. Before it is too late those
crewmen might ponder that old maxim :
Beware the wrath of patient mani"

THE ANTITHESIS
OF NEUTRALITY
WaH Street J0urndf

If the decision of the senate Foreign
Committee to postpone neutrality legis-
lation until the next session holds against
the persuasion of presidential message,
the Pittman and Schwellenbach resolu-
tions should likewise be pigeonholed. Or.
more accurately. these measures should
go into the wastebasket, whatever else
happens.
For, being deliberately written to en-
able the president to intervene against
Japan and in favor of China, they stand
for the opposite of neutrality" Both
formally base the presidents action, if
taken, on the nine-power treaty. Senator
Pittman'S invokes the section of the trea-
ty which undertook to preserve the "open
door" in China and authorizes an embar
go on exports to Japan if certain mater
ials useful in war as an act of retaliation
for the practical denial of our commercial
rights in China. Senator Schwellenbach's S
resolution invokes a different section of
the same treaty, that which guarantees
the TERRITORIAL integrity of China; it
would thus permit the United States to
act, within limits, as the defender of
China's independence.
Now, the preponderance of American
sympathy is doubtless with China. But
are we one among nine parties to the
treaty, to assume alone Except for China
herself) the responsibility of enforcing
its provisions? If so, why have we seen
it violated for two years and more Qeav
ing Manchuria out of the account) with
out acting? Why this sudden and belated
concern over the treaty? If such action
as Senators Pittman and Schwellenbach
have in mind is one of those measures
short of war" which President Roosevelt
recently mentioned, how far short of war
would it be? Once begun, how far short
of war could we stop it without beating
humiliating retreat?
Neither of these resolutions can be
adopted except on the theory that we are
ready to go to war with Japan if that be
necessary to force her to fulfill the nine
power treaty. But are We? The question
answers itself.

DON'T FORGET ANIMALS
DURING VACATION

II you are gong on a vacation. and if
you nave any pets, remember that they
should be cared for during the time Won
are away from home
Several Instances have appered in FL
Centro lately in which dogs. cats and
otner pets have been abandoned to forage

lies TO which they belong are vacationing

CALLING INTERVENTION
BY ANOTHER NAME

AS far as neutrality legislation is con-
cerned, the United States is in the same
position she has occupied for a good
many months. New Deal laments to the
contrary, America is in no greater dan
ger of being embroiled in a foreign war
than she was three, four or six months
ago.
A fight over so-called neutrality legis-
iatlon in congress, abandoned this week
by the New Deal, was in reality not a
fight over neutrality legislation. 1t was
contest to determine whether this coun-
try should treat all foreign nations equal
~ In event of war, or favor one grouD
against another.
A majority of congressman favored alb
solute lmpartlality in dealing with other
nations If a war breaks out The New
Reah wanted to favor one side or the
other Technically, the majority of con-
gressmen wanted to put an embargo on
arms shipments if war comes the New
Deal wanted the right to say that an arms
embargo should apply to one nation and
not to another
II is possible that the safety of the
country might rest in taking sides with
England and France against Germany
and Italy. IT is possible, too that this ma
tlon should take no sides at all. What
ever should be done, the decision should
not be made as the result of misleading
propaganda.
1t is hard to see how a law allowing
the United States to favor one side
against the other would keep this coun-
try out of war, yet the New Deal argues
for its favored bill on the contention that
it, and it alone, will keep the United
States out of war
The foreign policy of this country
should be far more clear cut than it is
before neutrality" laws are reviesd.

At the very moment when Europe
is dismally contemplating the pos
sible collapse of the perfectly SEN
sible plan of Free City of Danzig
under League of Nations auspices,
a somewhat similar plan has been
proposed in South America.
Senator Oscar Valenzuela Valdes,
chairman of the Foreign Relations
Committee of Chile, has proposed
that his country's most northern
city, africa, be turned into a free
port to serve the interests OF Peru,
Bolivia, and Ecuador.
This is a conception quite similar
to that which at Versailles prevail
ed about Danzig. Danzig, predom-
inantly German in population and
tradition, stood in a location where
q free Poland had to have access
through it to the sea. Therefore,
said the Versailles negotiators, let
us give it neither to Germany nor
TO Poland, but let us make it Free
City through which both Germany
and Poland may trade, and let us
name a League of Nations commits
sioner to live there and see that
the rights of both countries and
their citizens are observed.
That was the theory, and a per-
fectly sensible, sane theory, too.
What happened was that neither
Poland nor Germany whole-heart-
edly accepted the theory. Each
tried to increase its influence and
power in Danzig, while the decay
of the League made it impossible
for the commissioner to halt the
opposing ambitions of the two coun
tries. Now these animosities have
flared into such an incandescence
that they may we'll ignite all
Europe.
But all this does not discourage
Senator Valenzuela. He believes
that sanity may yet prevail in the
worlds affairs. So he proposes that
africa be made Free City, believ-
ing that the loss of customs duties

A Free City in South America Proposed

to the countries involved would be
more than repaid by the great in
crease in trade which he believes
would follow the opening of such an
impressive gateway to the three
countries.
africa was the scene of as bitter
fighting as ever ragged in Danzig.
On the great MORO headland that
frowns above the sandy beach,
Peruvians and Chileans fought it
cut in 1879 in as bitter a battle as
the western world ever saw. The
controversy over africa and its
neighboring Peruvian city, Tacna, re-
manned unsettled until 1929. Chile
got africa.
But now, actuated by belief that
the only worthwhile settlement is
one which most benefits all parties,
Senator Valenzuela suggests that.
voluntarily and without the spur
of war or war settlement, the
contested city become a real inter-
national gateway.
How practicable the plan may
be, and whether 1T stands chance
Of adoption, is hard to judge at this
distance. But it is significant that
once again a proposal for sane,
peaceful, mutually beneficial ar
rangement between three countries
has been made in the western
world, the only part of the globe
which seems at the moment able
to make them.
