enforcement of American rights and
naval officers must be constantly
apprised of the details Of neutrality
policy, so they may protect ship

AS for the Secretary of State, he
is really the Representative of the
President in conducting foreign pol
icy.
Thus, in the plan all interests
are represented and there can be
no charge of political partisanship
or one-man power. and yet the
United States Government will not
be handicapped by rigid laws which
make impossible quick action as
circumstances change. Unquestion-
ably Americas present neutrality
laws have contributed by their very
nature to the fact that "undeclared
war" has become customary, it be-
ing recognized that the American
Congress had ordered certain virtual
embargoes in time of war" which
other nations have avoided by with
holding formal proclamations of
war. The flexible plan of commits
sion permits instant change to con-
form to American sentiment.
