There is a big paradox in trality. It is this: the neutral State wishes to avold' war, but is also le termined not to tel war laterfere with its trade. There is the point of all the trouble that arises between neu- train and belligerents,
Chlet among the rights of neutrals is the declaration that a neutral State Is entitled to have the integrity of its territory and territorial waters respected by the Powers at war;
the For instance, If troops on frontier accidentally crossed Into neutral territory, the neutral has the right to call on them to surrender ard to intern them for the "duration."
For belligerent aeroplanes to y ever neutral country is an obvious breach of the rules, and, since there is no way of calling on them to sur- render, presumably that neutral has the right to shoot them down.
TN its treatment of belligerents the neutral must be strictly impartial. A favour granted to one must be given to the other.
The neutral must not allow belligerent to move forces, munijons.. or supplies across its territory, nur allow it to erect or use wireless or any other telegraphy apparatus for military purposes.
Among the other "must not" Is the one that declares that the neutrul must not provide any belligerent with troops, slips, munitions of war, money, or with commodities of direct ar Indirect use in war,
