of neutrals in the future, the United
States Government would be justi-
fed in calling to the attention of
both the Nazi government and the
allied governments the serious trans
gressions of neutral rights of which
their respective navies are guilty
If the principle oe conceded that
belligerents have unlimited rights,
then the opportunities for small ma
tions to keep themselves free from
war will disappear and the large
nations will find that the area of
operations in every war is more and
more extensive with the consequence
that America will nave much more
difficult time preserving her neu-
trallty hereafter by a passive at
titude.
To acquiesce in the attacks on
neutral shipping and to withdraw
American vessels from the high seas
in their trading with the neutral
countries of Europe is to concede
that the high seas belong to the
belligerents. This concession on the
part of the United States has weak
ened the position of the smaller
neutrals of the world They have
no champion any longer and it re-
mains to be seen whether further
violations of neutral rights even in
Latin American waters will cause
the United States to change her at
titude to one of active protest.

is an accomplished fact.
The rapprochement between the
White House and Senator Harrison,
during the conduct of the fight over
the trade agreements bill. is not
without its significance. The Mis-
sissippi Senator is always a loyal
party man. But he has not always
seen eye-to-eye with President
Roosevelt, particularly in regard to
taxes and tax methods. Indeed, the
last two tax bills passed nave
brought serious riffs, and the Mis-
sissippi Senator has been the victor
in those contests.
Now, however, Senator Harrison
not only has led a winning fight for
the administration-as chairman of
the Senate Finance Committee-but
he is. it is clearly understood, ready
to 60 down the line for the Presi-
dent If he becomes a candidate for
a third term. He is convinced that
the Presidents popularity through
out the United States is still enor-
nous and that. If he is renominated,
he will win.
Believes in Principle.
Senator Harrison's adherence to
the trade agreements bill is founded
on his firm belief that the principle
involved and the end to be attained,
lifting of barriers which halt this
country's international trade, are
good. The Mississippi Senator is as
stanch supporter of the good old
Democratic theories of freer trade
as is his former colleague, Secretary
OF State Cordell Hull. The trade
agreement act is the child of MIR.
Hull-the very apple of his eye. lir.
Hull served with Senator Harrison
in both the House and the Senate

To them both the Smoot- -HaWley
Tariff Act, the last Republican tariff
measure to go through, and still on
the statute books, is anathema. Re-
peal or hamstringing the Reciprocal
Trade Agreements ACT would leave
the Smoot- -Hawley Act opeating In
full effect. Senator Harrison's
victory for the trade agreements in
the Senate is, of course, a victory
for Senator Hula very big victory.
Without the aid of Senator Har-
rison and his talents for getting
things done in the Senate, there
might have been no such victory. A
few months ago, it seemed the Trade
Agreements Act was doomed to die
q natural death in June. when it
was slated to expire unless extended
by Congress. The Democrats in the
House and in the Senate were widely
split. Many of the Western Senators
and members of the House had been
aroused by protests from their con-
stituents. They maintained that
under the agreement entered into by
the administration with foreign
countries they were getting the little

been the case in Norway.
The same argument, it is believed,
will be used by the Berlin govern
ment in explaining the attack on
Holland as in the case of Norway
that the allies were preparing to
invade Holland, which offers an
easier access to the Reich since
the West Wall is not as strongly for
tilted as the south.
In military circles, it is considered
that the allies themselves might try
to make a diversion by going into
Holland before the Germans get
there. The restraint imposed on
them in the fight for "the territorial
integrity of neutrals and small ma
tions" no longer exists. Germany
has shown that she is ruthless even
with nations against whom she has
no territorial claims. The old slogan

Empire Bethmann-Hollweg Not

of the German government to police

Should any of the Danubian states

1t is considered significant that

The vaccinations are purely precau-

Bangs disease in animals Is pro-
