During tue course m a short
deuate m tne senate upon the
question of placing an embargo
on the export of arms and war
munitions, occurring recently
Senator Lodge otferd the conten
tion that suen an embargo would
be unneutral, basing his argu
ment on the principle that to take
away the privilege of purchasing
munitions from the allies was to
directly aid Germany and Aus
tria. the senator insisted that the
placing of an embargo on arms ,
would be worth a million men to ,
Germany and to do so would he .
offering a serious violation of
neutrality. On the other hand he
contended (that to continue the
unrestricted sale of munitions to
the allies is not violation of the
national neutrality for the rea
son that such sales are permissa
ble under the international law.
If vve are to accept the terms of
international law as the last word
in the matter this is a very good
argument—especially as it hap
pens to be one that, in practice, is
exceedingly profitable to .our
selves. But if we examine the
matter from the ethical stand
point it would seem that the sen
ator overlooked something in -his
estimate of what is neutral and
vhaf »s not.
The true view of our neutral
ibilgalions would seem, to bqthat
,ve should extend no active aid
0 one side of the other. If we
ire to consider ourselves neutral
at all we must keep our hands
off and leave them to tight it out
by themselves. That we are cer*
tainly not doing Taking the
senator’s own statement that by
laying an embargo on arms we
would be practically supplying
Germany with a million men,
does it not follow that by supply
ing Britain and her allies with
munitions we are providing them
with the equivalent of a million
men to fight Germany ?
Does not this mean that our
present proceedure is lessening
uermany s power and increasing
those of her allies? Regardless
of what that compilation of legal
ized nonsense, the international
,iw, says about it, we cannot
morally call our attitude neutral.
We have no more moral right
to help England against Germany
than We have to help Germany
against the allies, yet, if we are
to take the senator’s statement,
are we not officially refusing to
maintain a strictly neutral atti
tude when the government re
fuses to place an embargo on
arms?
It is all right for the senator to
argue that by placing an embargo
on arms we would be offering
direct aid—equivalent to a mil
lion men—to Germany but he i«
iver looking the very important
fact that we would be offering a
ar less tlagrant vioaltion of
teutrality in shutting off arms to
he allies than we are in continu
ng to supply them. The differ
rrce is th.s; that, . tn thouTl we
would be assisting German' ,y
in arms embargo, it wou d he
but passive assistance1 at the
most. Granting that it would be
equivalent to supplying them
with a million men, we would in
reality be, suppying them with
lotliing whereas by selling arms
:o Britain and her allies we are
lot only acting directly against
Jermany but are also guilty of
tetively assisting her enemies As
vill be readily apreciated there is
1 vast difference By refusing to
irohibit the sale of munitions to
:he allies we are to all intents
tnd purposes governmentally and
officially active participants in
the war. The Massachusetts sen
ator may call the placing of an
arms embargo unneutral .but it
would at least have the merit of
relieving us of the stigma of pro
fessing what we are not. We
might be aiding Germany by
•ich action but it would be no
lid that left a guilty stain.
MODERN GREEKS
What and who are these mod
ern Greeks? The most skeptical
investigators admit that in most
of them is some blood transmitted
from ancient Greece, and that
there is a proportion of Greek de
scent in Greece about equal tq
that of Anglo-Saxon descent in
America. For the rest, the mod
ern Greeks are either Albanian
or Slav or Vlach. Beside the
Greeks in Greece there are other
Greeks who far outnumber them
They are found on all the coast9
of the Ottoman empire; Crete
and other islands until very late
ly under Turkish soverignty have
no other inhabitants important in
numbers; they are numerous in
Asia Miror, in Syria and in
Egypt. While domiciled else
where, they remain passionate in
devotion to the Greece they style
Hellas, the modern kingdom
whose people are called Hellenes;
and, being masters of commerce
and finance, many of them gain
ed enormous fortunes, from
which they pour great sums into
Athens particularly, but into
Greece generally, for public
buildings and endowments.
GERMANSWISr
JME DIVIDED
London Chronicle.
1 have known Switzerland for
twenty four years, I have been
through the country twice since
the war began and have just re“
turned from a long visit to the
principal towns in German and
French Switzerland. In the
course of this journey I had uni
que opportunites of judging the
various curents in Swiss opinion.
I am convinced that the situation
is more complex than English
people imagine, and that the sym
pathies of the Swiss do not alto
gether coincide with the lingual
boundaries- One thing is certain,
French and Italian Switzerland
are much less divided in senti
ment than their German speaking
compatriots.
French and Italian Switzerland
are unanimous in their passionate
si^port of the allied cause- Of
this there is no matter of doubt
The French Swiss not only want
to win but they want
Germany to be beaten and to be
decisively beaten. In German
Switzerland I never head a single
expression of dislike for the
French. In French Switzer
land the Germans are about as
popular as they are in Paris. In
some cases the French Swiss
Hth.ve extended their dislike for
anything German to their Ger
man speaking compatriots.
The German Swiss are of a
different stock to the Prussian,
and their whole tradition of dem
ocratic independence is utterly
alien from the Prussian ideal.
German Switzerland is not unlike
the little South German states in
the days before Bismarck.
There’s one rubber
boot that has
“made good’’ in !
Alaska and that’s the
Goodrich
“HIPRESS”)
White Boot }
Sgjp “With the Red-Line \
7T ’round the Top” §
' You know that when u Boot
comes in and simply sweeps the country
like ‘TU PRESS” has done, it’s GOT to
be SOMETHING UNUSUAL—for Alaska wear
is the supreme test for Boot Quality.
White Goodrich “HIPRESS” Boots actually wear longer than iron or steel!
You don’t have to balf-aole thetn with leather—they far outwear hob
nailed leather soles.
The reason for this unusual tervice is that “HIPRESS” are constructed by
on entirely new process—fifty years ahead of the old-fashioned boot. They
are mude of the same tough rubber that goes into Goodrich Auto Tires— 8
welded together under enormous pressure INTO ONE SOLID PIECE I I
There’s nothing to couie apart—they can’t leak, peel, crack or split! S
They’re comfortable, too—shaped to the foot while its working. We jj
promise that once you start wearing White “HIPRESS” you’ll never be *
satisfied with anything else.
And remember—there is bat ONE “HIPRESS” Boot—it has
a Red-Line ’round the Top.
DEALERS: If not already stocked on “HIPRESS" write at once for sample* and price*
ThU is the best rolling, best wearing Boot over put Into Alaska. •
