Pittman Embargo Plan
Called Violation Of
1911 Trade Treaty
Invasion of Chino Is Held
No Excuse for Breaking
Pact With japan
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Some State Department experts
believe that the proposal of Senator
Pittman, Democrat, of Nevada to
embargo the shipment Of certain
raw materials to Japan would vio-
late the 1911 treaty of commerce and
navigation with that country.
This probably will be the nature
Of the departments reply to a re-
quest of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee for an opinion on
whether the Pittman proposal would
be in accordance with the treaty.
The experts point that violation
Of one treaty does not authorize vio-
lation of another. Japan, they say,
without the shadow of a doubt has
violated the nine-poWer treaty of
1922, under which nine nations
guaranteed to respect the independ-
ence and territorial integrity of
China.
Taking the position that a wrong
Is not righted by another wrong,
they contend this does not give the
United States the right to violate the
treaty of 1911.
Reciprocal Freedom Pledged.
The Japanese-American treaty
. contains several articles that bear
on the points raised by the Pitt
man bill.
One is Article 4, which says:
"There shall be between the terri
tories of the two high contracting
parties reciprocal freedom of COM
merce and navigation. The citizens
or subjects of each of the contract
ing parties, equally with the citizens
or subjects of the most-favored ma
ton. shall have liberty freely to come
with their ships and cargoes to all
places, ports and rivers in the ter
ritories of the other which are or
d. may be opened to foreign commerce,
subject always to the laws of the
country to which they thus come"
Article S, paragraph 3, says: Nor
shall any prohibition be enfroced by
either country on the importation
or expectation of any article from
or to the territories of the other
which shall not equally extend to
the like article imported from or ex-
ported to any other country"
Revision Suggested.
In other words, if the United
States is to abide by the terms of
the 1911 treaty and also desires to
embargo the shipment of raw ma
terials to Japan, it must also en-
barge shipment of the same ma
terials to all nations.
Japans violation of the nine
power treaty, the experts say, might
give the United States only the
right to denounce the same treaty.
However, this is something the State
Department does not want to do.
In his note to Japan of December
81. Secretary Hull offered to meet
with Japan and China and the
various signatories to the nine
power treaty and discuss equitable
revision of the treaty or new COM
mitments to be agreed on with re-
gard to China. But the United
States denies Japan the right to a
one-sided abrogation of the treaty.
1t denies the validity of Japan's
contention that because a new or
der" has arisen in the Far East, the
nine-power treaty has been out
moded and rendered ineffective.

Sukkos Feast al Sundown

In thanksgiving for the harvest as
well as in commemoration Of Gods
watchful care during the 40-year
journey in the wilderness, Washing
ton Jewry will start its observation
of Sukkos, the feast OF tabernacles,
at sundown today.
An eight-day celebration for Re-
form Jewry and nine-day observa-
ton for orthodox and conservative
groups, the feast is a reminder of
Judaism's unchanging belief in the
fatherhood of God and the brother
hood of man.
During the celebration, orthodox
Jews traditionally have their meals
outdoors under the Sukkah, a can
opy of branches decke6 with fruits
and vegetables, as reminder of the
harvest. In reform temples, the
Sukkah is erected at the altar.
The festival is celebrated with
branches of palms, myrtle and will
lows, bound together and used in
the morning service when the wor-
shippers march around the syna-
gogue. Also at the morning service
the worshipers recite the Hallel, a
peon of praise and thanksgiving.
On the seventh day of the festival
the celebrants strike their pews with
the willows and chant of the COM
ing of the Messiah. The feast ends
with the "Simchas Torah." the re-
joicing in the law" It marks the
completion of the annual cycle of
readings from the Torah. the scrolls

German violation of Swiss neutral
ity in an effort to gain a jumping of
point for a flank attack on the Magi-
not Line is not regarded as likely by
military observers here.
The immediate effect of a Ger
man invasion of Switzerland, it is
argued, would be to bring the Swiss
into war on the Franco-British
side and open the undefended Ger
man-Swiss border to a French
counterattack In force, which might
we'll imperil the whole South Ger
man basin of the Danube River.
Switzerland, it is believed here,
would make far stronger Jumping
off point" for the French than for
the Germans, and in a race for the
military occupation of Switzerland
which would be set off by a German
invasion the advantage probably
would lie with the French, who could
pour into Switzerland by interior
routes through both the historical
Belfort Gap on the northern border
and from the southwest through the
Rhone Valley. There seems to be
little doubt that the French have
contemplated such a contingency
and are prepared to counter at once
any movement by the Germans into
Switzerland.

their way into France around the
end Of the Maginot Line, military au-
thorities believe, they would have to
launch the drive with force prob
ably as great as the entire force used
against Poland If they hoped to
smash through French defenses.
Because of the exceedingly noun
famous terrain, a mechanical force
OF such proportions could not be
handled with facility through the
circumscribed Swiss passes, from
which it would have to issue in COL
lumns, which could be met by the
French In strength under conditions
far less advantageous to the Ger
mans than those which made pos
sible their speedy occupation Of the
Polish plains.
The French would be In a posi-

garded as slender. The Swiss are
hardy fighters who have been
equipped to defend their mountain
Gus country against modern air and
mechanized ground forces and there
is little doubt they could hold off
q German assault in force long
enough for the French to come
through Switzerland to help them

ing to the northeast and the great
Danube Basin.
Once in possession of this Swiss
frontier the allies would be in a far
more favorable position Tor a drive
into Germany than they are today.
Their attack would be from noun
tain Businesses into rapidly WIDEN
Ing lowlands, with all the advantage
OF terrain in their favor. Moreover
they Immediately would take the
southern end of the German Sieg-
fried Line in reverse, with the hope
OF making it speedily untenable for
the Germans.
Military experts regard any Ger
man attempt to outflank the French
by violating Swiss neutrality as q
more desperate gamble than any the
Nazis yet have taken. The chances
for its success are not good and the
consequences resulting from its fail
ure would be too immediate and too
fatal to German security to make
the venture worthwhile, according to
qualified authorities.

Summarizin gthe past q months

declared that China resistance and

Editor, The Citizen:
NO FOLDER RECEIVED
|, On a recent trip from Miami
to our Key West home met with
an experience at the Matecumbe
toll gate that needs to be checked
up.
It was my understanding that
information about Key West was
being passed out at this toll gate,
especially to foreign cars. AS a
matter of fact, all of us under
stood that some $4,000 folders
had been printed recently-very
fine folders, too-and that the
big share of them were to be used
at the income toll gate.
We drove up to the gate land,
because the attendant did not
come out of the office, being en-
gagged in conversation with some
one outSide-he could not know
that We were not strangers.
expectantly waited for the
folder to be handed to me. None
was given out-and ] gathered
that no folders were on hand.
Since, / have learned that a few
are being distributed at the Big
Pine Key toll gate-to people
leaving Key West.
It is passing strange that we
permit such condition to 60 on
uninvestigated. Either the toll
gate keeper is grossly negligent
of his duty in passing out litera-
ture-or, as many now suspect
the total number of folders print
ed fell way short of the report
first mentioned by the publisher.
The idea of acquainting Key
West visitors with information
beforehand, in the form of circu-
lars of some kind given to them
at the gate, is good one. | hope
something is done to furnish the
keepers at Matecumbe with such
literature-and that they will
conscientiously pass them out.
