it
the other hand, active measures from neutral States. For neutrals must prevent belligerents from making use of their neutral territories, and of their resources, for military and naval - purposes during the war. This applies not only to actual Eghting on neutral territories, but also to the transport of troops, war material. and provisions for the troops, the Atting out of men-of- war and privateers, the establish- ment of Prize Courts, and the like. Further, neutrals must prevent each belligerent from interfering with the legitimate intercourse with the other belligerent through commerce and the like. because a belligerent cannot be expected passively to suffer vital damage re sulting to himself from the vio- Intion by his enemy of a rule which, while it operates directly in favour of 'heutrals, indirectly operates in his favour as well.
But it is important to remember that the necessary attitude of Im- partiality is not incompatible with sympathy with one belligerent, and 28 antipathy against the other, so long as these feelings do not find expression in actions violating im 29 partiality. Thus, not only public opinion and the press of a neutral State, but also its Government, may show their sympathy to one part or another without thereby via Fading neutrality. Moreover, acts of humanity on the part of neu- trals and their subjects, such as the sending to military hospitals of doctors, medicine, provisions, dress- Ing material, and the like, and the sending of clothes and money to prisoners of war, can never bè con- strued as acts of partiality, even if these comforts are provided for the wounded and the prisoners of one belligerent only." (pp. 476 and 477).

Belligerents, on the other hand, are indeed per- mitted by International Law to punisa subjects of neutrals for breach of blockade, for carriage of contraband, and for rendering un- neutral service to the enemy: but the duty of subjects of neutrals to comply with these injunctions of belligerents is a duty imposed upon them by these very injunctions of the belligerents, and not by In- ternational Law. Although as B rule a State has no jurisdiction over foreign subjects on the open sea, International Law gives each belligerent an exceptional right to punish foreign subjects by con- fiscation of reargo, and in certain circumstances of the vessel itself, in case their vessels break or at- tempt to break a blockade, carry contraband, or render unneutral service to the enemy; but punish- ment is threatened and executed by the belligerents not by Inter- national Law. Therefore, if re-ins. tral subjects commit such acts, they neither violate neutrality nor do they act against International Law; they simply violate injunc- tions of the belligerents concerned. If they choose to run the risk of punishment in the form of losing their property, this is their own concern, and their neutral home State need not prevent them from doing so. But to the right of belligerents to punish subjects of neutrals for the acts-specified cor- responda the duty of neutral States to acquiesce in the exercise of this right by either belligerent.
