IMPORTANCE SF NEUTRALITY ACT IS POINTED OUT Future Peace, War Rests In Congress’ Hands, Warn Writers. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scrippt-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Jan. 14—One of the most vital measures ever considered by Congress, the neutrality bill now before that body, may ultimately decide the question of peace or war in the United States. Such is the thesis of Allen W. Dulles, former State Department official, and Hamilton Fish Armstrong, editor of Foreign Affairs, in a study released today for the Council on Foreign Relati' is. It is called, “Can We Be Neutral?” (Harper Sc Bros., New York). The popular impression is that if we wish to stay out of war all we have to do is to declare our neutrality, the authors observe. This is called a dangerous delusion: Congress never faced a more difllcult or more important task than the framing of an instrument to keep us neutral. Big Job Ahead “Almost any policy of neutrality will serve in a minor conflict," the study asserts. But to give us even reasonable security from becoming Involved in a major war is a job which will require “better than parttime consideration by an unwieldly congressional committee and partisan debate in the final hectic session of a dying Congress.” We are often reminded, the volume continues, that in 1914 we were unprepared for war. What is more to the point, we were unprepared for peace. “We were not prepared as a neutral with any policy which held out a reasonable hope that in a protracted conflict between great protagonists we could remain safely aside. “Popular opinion and to some extent official opinion were deluded with the idea that there was a well defined and accepted status known as ‘neutrality,’ and that if we obeyed certain rules known to the initiate , . . we could keep cut of war. Outcome Unforeseen “We further expected that, with certain minor restrictions, we could continue to enjoy normal liberties of travel and trade. We had no way of foretelling the scope and application of the new methods and instruments of warfare in ruthless hands. v We could not foresee the ‘warzones’ on the high seas, the sowing of mines on the open seas, the unrestricted submarine warfare, or other unprecedented actions which largely did away with the geographical limitations of war. “Nor did we foresee the criminal acts of violence in our own territory.” Our many eye-opening experiences from 1914 to 1917, the writers remind us, should have brought us to an earlier awakening. Long before now we should have begun a careful examination of the whole problem of keeping aloof from war. But Americans have generally and sincerely believed in the efficacy of the world peace machinery the League of Nations, the Kellogg Pact, the Nine Power Treaty and so on. Accordingly it was not until Japan flouted the whole scheme of things, and seized Manchuria, that we began to see the light. The Ethiopian crisis shed still more. Security Impossible Now we are attempting to organize our neutrality. But, warns Mr. Dulles and Mr. Armstrong, it would be folly to lead ourselves into believing we can make America absolutely secure. We can not. “The best we can hope for ... is to avoid as many as possible of the incidents that might arouse public feeling, and in the pursuit of this aim to avoid the assertion of rights which are not well founded and fundamental, and which, once asserted, may involve our national honor and prestige.” The volume is about half study, half appendix, with many pertinent documents in full, ranging from President Wilson’s proclamation of neutrality In 1914 to the text of the new neutrality bill presented to Congress little more than a week ago. Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Dulles are eminently qualified to make a wellbalanced • presentation of the case. Both have devoted years to the study of foreign relations, the one as editor and author, the other as official participant in international conferences and similar activities.

Time# Special GREENCASTLE, Ind., Jan. 14. Another Indiana jurist today had indicated doubt of the validity of Indiana’s 10-day divorce law after Circuit Judge C. C. Gillen overruled a motion filed in behalf of George R. Lawter, Greencastle. Seeking separation on charges of cruelty, Mr. Lawter contended his complaint was entitled to action within 10 days after summons w r as served on his wife. Opposing counsel argued that the 1935 statute failed to amend the state’s 60-day divorce law, enacted in 1923. In denying immediate hearing and setting trial for Feb. 15, Judge Gillen appeared to agree with Circuit Judge John Morris, Henry County, who announced last week his unwillingness to follow the new law until its legality is determined by the State Supreme Court.
