Such a policy would na- turally call for a very strict con- ception of neutrality. As to how this path can best be followed, it is being suggested that America decides not to per- mit her country to be made a happy hunting-ground for 'pro- pagandists, as it was in 1915 and 1916; that she decline to allow her financial resources to be used as a reservior for war loans; and that steps be taken in advance to prevent her indus- tries from being converted into manufactories for munitions of War. It is admitted that it would be extremely difficult to follow such a policy, but against the difficulties is placed the de- sirability of at least one great nation remaining at peace in the event of a
