We Are Not At War, And May Hot Be
It is a time to assume, as some impulsively do
assume, that the United States is now practically at
war, what with the Lend-Lease Act and the seizure
of European shipping in American ports.
We are not at war, and we may not be, though
there is no longer any question that to support ourj
principles we ore taking a desperate risk at war. ¡
Probably the President himself would not disagree
with the statement of objectives made by the very!
isolationist President Hutchins of Chicago University
"The country wants to defend itself, aid Britain, and
stay out of war." There is still a chance of doing all
three
We are not neutral in the sense that was under- i
stood toward the end of the last and the beginning!
of this century. At that time, an idea of neutrality
began to be built up which meant a rigid impartiality
to both sides in a war amounting to indifference, j
The World War taught us the extreme difficulty of
mantaining any such position.
But Attorney General Robert H. Jackson set
before the Inter-Americon Bar Association at Havana
the manner in which the concept of neutrality has
changed. Grotius, the founder of international law,
was cited by Jackson as writing, in 1625: "... it
is the duty of neutrals to do nothing which may
strengthen the side which has the worse cause, or
which may impede the motions of him who is carrying
on a just war. .
Thus the original concept of neutrality was not
one of indifference or even of rigid impartiality. This
legalistic idea grew up in the late 19th century, the
idea that once a war was started, the world was some-
how bound to pass no judgment on which side was
right, but to treat both precisely the same.
The years from 1930 to 1940 were a fine demon-
stration of the folly of such a view of neutrality. Had
the League been able to put effective pressure on
Italy, or on Japan, much that has happened might
not have happened. Had a umited world insisted on
saying "No!" to Germany when it marched back into
the demilitarized Rhineland, the whole tragedy en-
veloping the world today might have been avoided.
At any rate, the world has found that it cannot
afford to be indifferent when the world's peace is
broken by any nation. We all feel the effects of that
violation — in fact, Jackson scarcely exaggerated
when he said that any aggressive war today is "a
c,iyil war against the international community."
Today, any major war affects every country in
the world. It is idle and unrealistic for neutrals to
pretend disinterest. And until the time comes when
a potential aggressor is restrained by the thought that
he will find the whole neutral world against him either
actively or passively, there will be small chance that
aggressive wars will cease.
We do not approve military aggression. While
neutral, we propose to help victims of aggression,
and help them effectively. It is not war as we see it.
1+ may admittedly lead to war. That is the risk we
take, but unless some are willing to take it, there is
no road to a world free of the constant overhanging
fear of aggression.

A Reuters 'British news agency)
dispatch said that the Germans

Albanian town near Tepelenl, on
the Greek western front.
The Greek high command said
that Greek forces had withdrawn
from the Curiam (Korltza) sector,
in southeast Albani't, and that
"the enemy discovered the with-
drawal 24 hours after it began
and sought in vain to hinder it by
pushing forward motorcyclists."

On the North African battle-
front, thousands of British Imper-

African front were reported speed-
ing to the defense of Egypt in a
race with Artis mechanized col-
umns driving into the ancient
land of the Pharoahs toward the
Sue?, canal.
The German-Italian counter of-
fensive raised the possibility that
Egypt. Britain's non-belligerent
ally, might soon be drawn into
the war.
In a secret session, the Egyptian
chambei of deputies ratified an
agreement reached between the
government and British authorites.
The nature of the agreement was
not disclosed.

The Draft In The Future
As things stand today, we may as well look for-
ward to the draft, to selective military service as a
permanent part of the civil obligation of all male
citizens.
Therefore, it is worth while to look at the draft
as we have seen it work out thus far, and consider
how it will probably be modified in the future. First,
it is now clear that as enough trained reserves go back
into civilian life to make a backlog of safety, the age
limits will probably be dropped. After all, the time
for a young man to do his military service is when he
is young, before he has gotten a fair start on his
civilian career and his family life. Further, between
the ages of 18 and say, 23, he has a longer period of
years ahead of him in which he will be fit for military
service.
These things are for the future, since today the
imperative need is for a trained reserve, but it seems
likely that it is the direction the future military service
Igws will take.

Vinson said he regarded Knox's
statement as "a strong endorse-
ment" of legislation "along the
line" of his own bill.
Vinson said his bill had therfe
five major purposes:
Creation of machinery and pro
cedure for mediation of disputes in

contracts;
' Statutory recognition of the
mediation board; the giving of the
same powers to the board as the

Y^/HEN she opened her eyes, An-
thony Bradley was holding her
head. "Go away," she moaned.
"Go away. Oh, my stomach . , ."
"Now you know how I felt,"
Anthony said crisply. "Are you
all right?"
She sat up, scowling at him. She
saw Bruce Sheldrake and Morris
Fletcher. She noted their stupe-
fled pale faces and their slack,
trembling mouths.
Sheldrake came to life first.
"Allow me, Miss Davenport."
He helped her to her feet. The
fat man with the mink coat was

it in a parcel locker. It had our
label. I—"
"Give me my coat!" She
snatched it out of his hands. "Call
my car, somebody! I never saw
such a bunch of imbeciles in my
life! What are you all standing
around for? Do something! You,
Mr. Fletcher—call my guardian at
once! Tell him I fired you! You,
Mr. Sheldrake! Get out of my
sight!"
• * *
LX)R the second time she tutaed
and fled down the corridor.
But now the mink coat was
clutched in her hands, and now
wide-eyed employes got out of her
way with gratifying alacrity.
Through the street level selling
floor she raced. No car at the
main entrance. She lilted her
hand. A cab slithered to a halt.
She got in.
"Fourteen-forty Park Avenue."
There'd be delirium In Mr.
Weeming's office, consternation in
Budget Fashions, a crisis In news-
paper city rfK.ms. She didn't care.
The doorman at her apartment
house ko raled.
"Pay this man his fare!"
The elevator boy nearly fainted.
"Miss Davenport, ma'am, I thought
you were kidnaped!"
She sailed into her own apart-
ment. "Greta! What do you mean
by giving information to report-
ers?"
A dark man rushed out of the
drawing room. "Beatrice! My
own! They have saved you!" He
held out his arms, like an emo-
tional Latin In a movie. ''You
have been restored to me! My
darling!"
• • «
UEATRICE stood very still and
regarded Clarence distaste-
fully, "How did you get here?"
"Mr. Weeming phoned me five
minutes ago. I rushed right over."
"Did he say what I'd been do-
ing? Did he tell you I had never
been kidnaped?" Her control
snapped. "Oh, Clarence, you fool!
You messed everything all up! I
was enjoying myself for the first
time in my life! I was living,
working, amounting to something
—feeliny something!"
"Aha," said Clarence, blinking
his black eyes. "Those emotions
you so yearned for!" He pulled
thoughtfully at his neat mustache.
"What sort of emotions, explain
me that. To work—bah! That is
not romantic! It was something
else. Tell me, Beatrice."
"I'll tell you nothing!" She ran
to the white and gold bedroom
into a coiner of which Toby
Masters' whole apartment would
have fitted snugly. She pulled out
dresser drawers in a frenzy of
haste. She found the antique sil-
ver jewel case and extracted
Clarence's emerald. She ran back
to the drawing room. "Here!
Here's your ring! I don't want it."
"But cara—my sweet—what has
happened? I am not angry with
you, Beatrice. It was an adven-
ture, a whim! It cannot come be-
tween us, beloved. Surely you—"
"Please, Clarence. There's no
use talking about It any more."
She pressed the ring into his hand.
"I—I made a mistake, when I
promised to mBrry you. I didn't
love you. I didn't know what love
was. But now, I can't go on with
It."
' áo?" Clarence breathed softly.
"So. now, all Is changed? Now
you know perfectly what love is,
eh?" He grabbed her arm. His
eyes burned. His mouth was sud-
denly cruel and ruthless. "Who is
the man who has taught you what
love is, Beatrice? Who is he? I
demand the truth!"
Beatrice jerked away from him.
"I won't tell you. It's none of
your business. AU that matters to
you is that I've given you back
your ring."
"But that is not all that mat-
ters to me! I love you. I shall
kill the pig who tries to take you
away from me."
Three musical notes chimed.
Beatrice looked at Clarence, spec-
ulatively. "Here com e¿ your
chance," she said. "Because I'm
sure that's Anthony Bradley at
the door."
a • •
IT was Anthony. He strode into
1 the room, hatless, his expres-
sion a curious mixture of bel-
coPVRiGMT. teat.
nca sen vice. inc.
llgerency and determination and
temper. He stepped short when
he saw CJarence.
"This," said Beatrice malicious-
ly, "is your pig, Clarence. And,
Mr. Bradley, this is your prince."
Clarence eyed Anthony. An-
thony surveyed Clarence. The
silence became appalling. Beatrice
helped tilings along by remarking,
"Clarence has duelling pistols on
his mind. Or sabers at r'.awn."
"Hmmm," said Clarence, "so you
are the man who hHs bewitched
my betrothed. It is because of
you she returns my emerald."
Anthony's face cleared. "She
returned your ring? Oh. 1 see."
The relief in his tone was un-
mistakable. Beatrice's heart began
to sing. Maybe he wouldn't hate
her too much, after all. Maybe
he could bear to marry a girl who
owned a department store, espe-
cially if he worked in it.
"Queer about Mr. Weeming,"
she said irrelevantly. "About his
investigations, I mean. Because
that was my idea, too, you know.
"I must prepare a statement for
the papers," Beatrice said dream-
ily. "I mus* Inform them that It
was my concern for Grandfather's
store which ran away with me."
"Beatrice!" thundered Clarence.
Beatrice looked around, mildly
astonished. "Oh, you're still here?"
Her eyes dropped, "Clarence, do
run along like a good boy. I—I
have a lot of things on my mind,
and—really, Clarence, you'll be
delighted to be rid of me, once
you think it over."
The swarthy face of Fernando dl
Grandezzl, who was not the de-
scendant of a long line of noble
Romans for nothing, stiffened. He
bowed formally. His heels clicked.
"I hope you will be very happy,"
he said thickly.

1) EATRICE and Anthony
u watched him go. Then An-
thony said, morosely, "We prob-
ably won't be. On your money."
"II you start that, Anthony
Bradley, I'll butt you in the stom-
ach again!"
"I do know other ways of start-
ing. But you'd have to come a
little closer."
Slowly, deliciously, Beatrice
moved closer. "Is this better, An-
thony?" she Inquired meekly.
It was much better. Anthony's
arms swooped her up. He kiwed
her masterfully. Kissed her until
the room swam around her and
the floor lurched. He kissed her
until she was blind and deaf and
helpless.
"Our mutual guardian was
right," he said happily. "Whut
you needed wasn't chloroform,
after all. All you needed was
love."
