THINK NEUTRAL. TOO, TO
KEEP OUT OF WAR
There is now the gravest ciiance of
a war between Japan and China.
That war might involve Russia,
which might involve Germany, which
might involve Prance, which might—
The possibilities that lie in every
brush between Japanese and Chin-
ese sentries around Peiping are al-
most too awful to think about. Yet
we must think about them, and
think hard.
Ninety-five per cent of the Ameri-
can people are absolutely against
having any part of either the Span-
ish or any Asiatic war. Regardless
of personal sympathies in either
case, it is clear that almost all
Americans agree that the first duly
of the President and of Congress is
to keep us out ol these slaughter-
houses that have claimed too many
lives in Spain, and will claim many
millions in Asia once the mad dogs
of war are unchained there.

INSECTS of the tropics have many curious ways of making
themselves inconspicuous. The caterpillar holds flower buds in
its front legs while covering them with silk, then twists its head
around and attaches them to its body.
NEXT: What causes elephants to grow curious malformed tusks?
Every citizen must remember this:
there is no law, and there can be no
law that will insure our keeping out
of these wars. Certain laws may help,
may nuke it easier, but there is
only one guarantee that offers any
hope whatever.
That Is an unshakeable resolution
on the part of a big majority of
Americans that we will not become
involved, that we want and will
have no part of it.
We are not so likely to become
Involved through “neutral shipping
rights” or “freedom of the seas" as
we were in 1914. Those excellent and
civilized principles have been mur-
dered by the kind of war that is
waged today. For today, all articles

the
*“* dreaded Guinea calms as he
sailed for India, one Pedro Al-
varez Cabral was drawn into the
strong Brazilian current. On Eas-
ter, the year 1500, he entered a
bay along the coast and forthwith
took possession of the land in the
name of the King of Portugal. So
the history of Brazil began.
Supposing that he had reached
the further side of India, Cabral
dispatched a boat back to Lisbon
with the news. Subsequently vast
areas of the new territory were
divided into colonization tracts
and passed out to court favorites
or nobles. But the settlement
scheme failed.
With the discovery of gold in
1601 and diamonds some years
later, Brazil took on a new life.
Then in 1807 Napoleon's troops
invaded Portugal, forcing the
royal family to flee to Brazil. On
that event the country’s future
turned. Thousands followed the
royal family to the new land and
took root. The result was that
eventually Portugal decided to re-
establish the South American
kingdom it had once abandoned.
To prevent this, the Brazilians re-
volted. And in 1822, at the end
of bitter struggles, Brazil pro-
claimed its independence. Not un-
til 1825, however, did Portuguese
troops Anally withdraw and the
crown recognize the declaration.
The stamp below was issued in
1922 on the centenary of Brazil’s
dependence. It pictures Presi-
ni
of trade are contraband because
anything that Is of any use to any-
body is of use in war today.
It is loss of American life that
is most likely to start the war fury
burning. The most vital difference
between British and German tramp-
ling on American rights during the
World War is that the German
trampling cost life, the British cost
only money and Inconvenience.
* * *
Thus the first step is to see that
American citizens are kept out of
war and danger zones, or at least
that they go or stay there at their
own risk.
The next and most Important step
is for every Individual to think neu-
tral, and not to yield to propaganda
that, in the case of Spain, has al-
ready begun and, with the start of
an Asiatic war. will aim at showing
America that this war is different,
that country A or faction B is pure
and the defender of civilization,
while country C or faction D is the
barbarous defiier of all that is good.
And the atrocity stories. Whenever
you read an atrocity story today
think of the Crucified Canadian and
the Handless Baby of 1914. Twenty
years afterward, we found that they
didn’t exist, never had existed. To
every atrocity story you read today
add three large inches of salt.
Ask yourself two questions every
time anyone appeals for sympathy
in these wars: Just what is my stake
in this? and Am I willing to die
for it?

Roosevelt In—
(Dcr.tinned From Page One)
amendments to the Wagner Labor
i Relations Act.
| Opening debate on the proposal to
establish wage and hour standards,
he sought to head off a move by
Senator Vandenberg, Republican.
Michigan, who has announced he
will propose amendments to increase
the responsibility of labor unions,
to prevent union coercion of em-
ployes, and to give the employer the
right of appeal to the labor board.
The Wagner Act carries a guar-
equal-judicial work.
But Mr. Roosevelt said Tuesday that
the board has also been accused of antee of collective bargaining and
being biased In favor of manage- outlaws “unfair” practices by em-
inent. The Presidents thesis was that ployers. Many employers have con-
stnee the criticism comes from both tended they should be given more
sides, it is a sign that the board is rights under it, and that unions

Mr. Roosevelt expressed belief that --°--
the Wagner Labor eRlations Act, Outlook For_
which the board administers, is not j _
at all one-sided.
Asked by a reporter if he believes
the act could be strengthened by
making unions .more responsible in
living up to agreements, the Presi-1
dent said he did not know.
Wage-Hour Debate Opens
His defense of the labor board and
the labor act came while Senator
Black, Democrat, Alabama, was
striving on the Senate floor to pre-
vent the administration’s wage-hour
bill from becoming a vehicle for
