Defense by Retreat"
1.-THE present neutrality legisla-
ton was passed in the belief that it
would constitute q strong defense
against involvement in war. It is
defense by retreat from the scene
Of warfare. It presumably, there
fore, reduces the necessity Of naval
ornaments.
ION the other hand we have I'M
dertaken to see that the safety zone
created by the declaration Of Pan
ANA is patrolled. If our right to
exclude belligerent activities from
this zone is questioned, we may be
obliged either to abandon the doc
trine or to provide a navy large
enough to maintain it. Also, we
should remember that the Neutral
ity Act has not been invoked in re-
lation to the Far Eastern conflict
The implications of this fact in re-
lation to our national defense prob
lem and to our problems as neu-
trail nation should not be over
