What Neutrality Means

Detzer, Dorothy | December 4, 1935 issue

add to cart   close window

The question that the American people will face in January is not whether sanctions imposed by the League of Nations are quite wise or effective for League countries, but whether the U.S. Congress of the United States should substitute for the present inadequate law. New neutrality legislation which will give the president the power to cooperate with the League in imposing sanctions on an aggressor, or whether the legislation should be mandatory upon the president to apply embargoes on both sides. Neutrality requires equal treatment of two belligerents without regard to the nature and origin of their conflict.
