THE DUTY OF THE CITIZEN
BY J. E. JONES

ny . L. SONLo
1 The United States may escape the
European war, even though the best
official minds of our Nation are
thinking ia lot of directions.
The present neutrality law was
laid down as an iron-clad program
in the calm days of peace a few
years ago. II was an honest effort
to meet situation such as now ex-
lists i'm Europe, before a war explo-
sion might blow up sane-thinking.
Now comes the demand to repeal
the embargo against the shipment
of war supplies to Europe. That is
absolute reversal of the former poll
cies of the President and the Con-
gTes5 to keep us out of war The
cash-and-carry provision of that
law was limited to expire-and it
did expire last May. An attempt has
already been made to replace that
provision of law by permitting the
war countries to buy from us on
shOrt-teiIn credit This suggestion
does not meet the approval of Con-
gress whicE seems Inclined to re-
store the cash-and-carry theory

commonly known as the Presidents
plan. Repeal means that the sale
and shipment of arms and ammu-
milton viii be allowed. One reason
advanced is that if sales are made
il will help France and England to
fight the war against Hitlerism. An
other reason is urged that it would
be the best way to keep us out of
war" Without stressing these argu-
ments it is perfectly plain that this
is not neutrality. OF course our peo-
pie as whole are not very neutral.
Those opposed to change are be-
ing called ''isolationiits. Even
though that is not intended as a
title il is pretty
good synonym for the word 'neu-
trail The Congressman and others
who are opposed to a change in the
law argue that just the moment the
United States authorizes the sale of
arms and ammunition it puts it's foot
one step into the war. and that it
will be perfectly natural to take adj

Associated Press Foreisn Affairs Writer.
Moscow having rejected the offer
OF mediation in the sso-Finnish
war, the League Of Nations has on
its hands a grave problem in the
Argentine motion for expulsion Of
the Soviet Union.
There is danger in it both from the
standpoint of the European war
crisis and from that Of the League
itself.
Rodolfo Freyre of the Argentine,
in urging expulsion, declared the
League was faced with an issue of
life or death" 1t could throw Rus
sia out, or resign its function in
the spirit of truly suicidal defeat"
This conjured up a picture Of the
Leagues magnificent marble palace
on the banks of Lake Geneva being
transformed into the highest priced
mausoleum Of history.
1t is tough spot, since the League
will be damned if it does, and
damned If it doesn't. 1t will lose at
least one important member which,
ever way the voting goes, since the
Argentine has said it will resign If
the motion is defeated.
Should the League expel Russia
it will be the first time such drastic
action has been taken against any
country.
League Applied Sanctions.
In 1885 the League applied sane
tions to Italy as aggressor against
Ethiopia, though less than three
years later the League Council gave
members permission to recognize
Mussolini's annexation of the Afri-
