Show When one talks a lot it's easy to let slip improbabilities. im-probabilities. So they're now roasting Roosevelt from soup to grapejuice, because ho has declared that Uncle Sam ought to have pitched into Germany Ger-many when Rtlgium was violated, and thoy seem to have him treed because he can't produce any treaty or international agreement to wnr-rnnt wnr-rnnt such action. Nearest to such warrant is the Haguo declaration of 1007, to this effect: "Tho territory of n neutral power is inviolable. Belligerents are forbidden to move troops, supplies, sup-plies, etc., across the territory of a neutral power." It is easily seen that this would be sufficient suf-ficient to justify the whole world in going after Germany were Hague declarations any better than mere expression of views. Expressions of views are proper nnd wise, but when you go to forbidding things you ought to have gunpowder backing or else keep quiet when parties refuse to live up to our views. |
