Hobart. Mrs. Wright, head of the national league's department of government and foreign policy, present Neutrality Act was United States into perpetual peace, “It was the belief of its sponsors,” she said, “that if the U. S. refrained from all trade with belligerents the risk of involvement in ‘other people’'s wars’ would be substantially

| reduced.

Calls Impartiality Impossible “It is impossible to pursue a neutrality policy which is impartial in fact” she declared. “One belligerent or the other is bound to be favored,

depending upon the circumstances. If the United States wishes to have

lined in the July 16 statement of Secretary Hull, a policy based upon the respect for treaties, a national policy which permits discrimination between those countries which keep treaties and those which break them must be formulated.” In discussing the U. S. policy of nonrecognition, she said: ‘This doctrine has been a basic principle of foreign policy ever since Secretary Stimson declared it in 1931 in the Manchurian situation. At the request of the U, S. this principle was adopted by states who were members of the League of Nations in their position toward Manchuria and later toward Ethiopia. “Last week in the 101st meeting of the Council of the League of Nations England in pursuit of her ‘realistic’ policy reversed herself. The immediate response of the U. S. was reiteration of the nonrecognition policy of Secretary Hull. But this country must now realize that nonrecognition in the Stimson sense is no longer an accepted doctrine by a collective group of nations.” Now that the naval expansion bill has been signed by the President the reality of the armament building race must be faced, she said. “The era of disarmament by international agreement is over and | there is no limit to the amount of | armaments that can be built.”

Resolution on Merit System

In urging extension of the merit system, the league resolution said: “Since both party platforms as adopted in 1936 expressed approval of the principle of qualified personnel in state service, we now ask support of practical application of that principal by indorsement of |

specific extension of the system of |

appointment of qualified persons following competitive examination for all employees of State institutions, particularly the guards at the penal institutions and the attendants at hospitals, and in addition such other extension by departments such as the State Depart-

meeting. Praises Legislative Council

The legislative council, he declared, throws politicians concerned with ends together with scientists as masters of means into an organization serving the legislative branch of government, where policies are determined for all men. it weds political sagacity, sensitive to wants, and scientific intelligence, clairvoyant of means, he declared. In continuing his discussion of the politician as one who devotes nimself ‘to ends and the expert as one vitally concerned with means he urged “a higher opinion of these indispensable types of persons and preoccupations.” “Ends are useless without means to realize them and means are worthless without ends to invest them with meaning and dignity. The politician furnishes us with our public ends though, heaven forbid, not with our private ends. He finds in his own peculiar way the common denominator of what is agreeable and then by agreement clears the way to that. In this clearing of the way, however, he needs help. And the expert of one sort or another is just the man to help him in his practical task.” The convention was to close at 3 p. m. with a tour to Lockefield Gardens, Government housing project. At the same hour newly elected officers and directors were to meet for a postconvention board meeting.

Tax System Listed for Study

Also listed for study by the league were tax system and budget procedure; reorganization of state and local government; legislative reform and machinery of elections. Mrs. Richard Edwards explained the “machinery of elections” item was designed for studying methods of making contests and recounts
