when three or four mon start a free fight, the chances are that you get hurt, though the fight is not of your making.

That is the position of neutral countries in war time.

There is a big paradox in neu- trality. It is this: the neutral State wishes to avold war, but is also de- termined not to let war interfere with its trade. There is the point of all. the trouble that arises between neu- trala and belligerents.

Chief among the rights of neutrals Is the declaration that a neutral State is entitled to have the integrity of is territory and territorial waterS respected by the Powers at war,

the For instance, troups on frontier accidentally crossed into neutral territory, the neutral has the right to call on them to surrender nd to intern them for the "duration."

For belligerent aeroplanes to fly over a neutral country la an obvious breach of the rules, and, since there Is no way of calling on them to sur- ader, presumably that neutrul has the right to shoot them down.

impartial. A favour granted to one must be given to the other,

The neutral must not allow belligerent to move forces, mualtions, or supplies across its territory, nor allow it to erect or use wireless or any other telegraphy apparatus for military purposes.

Among the other "must nots" is the one that declares that the neutral must not provide any belligerent with troops, ships, munitions of war, money, or with commodities of direct or Indirect use in war.

The odd Ung about it is that this rule only applies to the neutral State. end not to its individual citizens.

But as you know, that rule broke down in the last war when the United States became an arsenal of supply for the Allied Powers, Nations en- ged in a life-and-death struggic are inclined to waive the rules.

Anyway. another rule is that a neutral must not allow any act of war to be committed within its territorial waters. And that applies of what the inter- to the exercise national lawyer call Visit and Scorch.

Now the only way out of that is for the belligerent to prevent the neutral from supplying commodities to the enemy, and that practice Is recognised, so long as the restraints on neutral trade pre not "unwarrant- uble.
