LANSING DENIES . RIGHT TO STOP MUNITIONS SALE (Continued From Page One) might not also be applied because of tne superiority of a belligerent on land. It' Js declared that such a the ory of strict neutrality as is advanced by Austria would involve a neutral oation in a mass of perplexities which wouw -obscure the whole field of in ternational obligation. produce eco nomic confusion and deprive all com merce and industry of lealtlmate fields of enterprise, already heavilv burdened by the unavoidable restric tions of war. United States Xs Ventral, Says Vote. The administration declared it could not concede Austria's assertion of "an obligation to change or modify;, the rules of international usage on account 01 special conditions. "it is main tained that the United States is follow ing a strtctly neutral course, and that the recognized international law gov erning the shipment of munitions can not be changed during the progress of the war. The attention of Austria is also called to the fact that before the present war Germany and Austria sold munitions to belligerents, and at no time suggested or applied the principle set forth in the note from Vienna.. It ' was pointed out that during the Boer ; war British warships prevented muni tion's reaching the Transvaal, but "In spite . of the commercial isolation of ' one belligerent, Germany sold to Great 'Britain and other belligerents hundreds Of thousands of kilos of explosives, . gunpowder, cartridges, shot and weap ons." Austria, it was declared, sold similar .munitions to England, though in small er quantifies. "The note is. as follows: "Department of State, Washington. D. C. Aug. ti 1916. The Secretary of present a note to the royal foreign of fice, in repiy to its note of June 29, in the following sense: , . . .. Attitude Xs Surprising-. 3 "Tha government of the United States has given careful consideration to the statement . of : the Imperial and royal government in regard to the ex portation of arms and ammunition at war with Austria-Hungary and Ger many. The government of the United States notes with satisfaction the rec ognition by the imperial and royal gov ernment of the undoubted. fact that its attitude with regard to the exportation, of arms and ammunition from the United States Js prompted by its inten tion to maintain the strictest neutral ity .and to conform to the letter of the provisions-, of international treaties,: but is surprised to find the imperial j and royal government : implying that the observance of the strict principles of the law, under the conditions which have developed in the present-war, is insufficient, and asserting that this government should go beyond the long recognized rules governing such traf fic by neutrals and adopt measures to 'maintain an attitude of strict parity with respeet to both belligerent par ties I-"- , i . ; ... Assertion Is Hot Accepted. "To this assertion or an obligation to change or modify the "rules of interna tional usage on account of Ispecial con ditions, the government of the United States cannot accede. The recognition of an obligation of this sort, unknown to the international practice of the past, would Impose, on every neutral nation a duty to sit in Judgment on the progress of war and t6 restrict its com mercial intercourse with a. belligerent whose naval successes prevented the neutral from trade with ' the enemy. The copwtl6n of" the imperial and royal XviVn men t appears to be that the sdvanuges gained to a belligerent by '-' lt:,5 euperlorlty .on the sea should o equalled by the neu tral po"f73T3 by the, establishment of a system a Mnon-lntercourse with the victor.-. ,TfcrT imperial and royal govern ment confines its comments to arms and ammunition, tmt If the principle for which it contends is sound, it should apply with, equal force to all ar ticles of contraband. A belligerent con trolling the high seas might possess an ample supply of arms and ammunition but be in want of food and clothing. On the novel principle that equalization Is a neutral - duty, neutral nations would be obligated to place an embargo on such articles because bne of the belligerents could - not . obtain them through commercial intercourse. Principle Zs Absurdity. "But if this principle, so strongly urged by the imperial and royal gov ernment, should be admitted to obliga tion by reason of the superiority of a belligerent at sea, ought It not "to oper ate equally um a belligerent superior on land? Applying to this the theory of equalization, a belligerent who lacks the necessary munitions to contend suc cessfully on land ought to be permitted to procure them from neutrals, while a belligerent with an abundance of war stores, or with the power to produce them, should be debarred from such traffic. "Manifestly, the idea of a strict neu trality now advanced by the Imperial and royal government would involve a neutral nation in a mass of perplexities which would obscure the whole field of international obligation, produce eco nomic confusion and deprive all com merce and industry of legitimate fields of enterprise, already heavily burdened by the unavoidable restrictions of" war. ' Germany Has Sold Arms. "In this connection it is pertinent to direct the attention ojt . the Imperial royal government to the fact that Austria-Hungary and Germany, particular ly the latter, have during the years preceding the present' European war, produced a great "surplus of- arms and ammunition, which they sold through out the world, and especially to bel ligerents. Never during that period did either of 'them suggest or apply the principle now advocated by the impe rial and royal government. Boer War Cited as Precedent. - "During the Bper war between Great Britain and the South African repub lics, the patrol of the Coasts of neigh boring neutral colonies by British naval vessels prevented arms ajid am munition from reaching the Transvaal or the Orange FreeStates. The allied republics were in a situation almost identical In that, respect .with. that -in which AustriaHungary "and Germany find themselves at The present time. Yet, in spite, of the commercial isola tion, of one belligerent, Germany sold to Great Britain and other belligerents hundreds of thousands of kilos of ex plosives, gunpowder, cartridges, shot 'and weapons; and it is known that Austria-Hungary also sold similar mu nitions to the same purchaser, though in smaller quantities. Principle of neutrality the Same. "While,, as compared with the pres ent war, the quantities sold were small (a table of the sales is appended), the principle of. neutrality involved was the same. If at that time Austria Hungary and her present ally had re fused to sell arms and ammunition to Great Britain on the ground that to do so would -violate the spirit of strict neutrality, the Imperial and Royal gov ernment might with greater consist ency and greater force urge its pres ent contention. "It might be further pointed out that during the Crimean war large quanti ties of arms and ammunition and mili tary stores were furnished to Russia by Prussian manufacturers, that dur ing the recent war between Turkey and Italy, as this government is advised, arms anil ammunition were furnished to tne Ottoman government by Ger many; and that during the Balkan wars the belligerents were supplied with munitions by both Austria-Hungary and Germany. Empires Have Long Sold Arms. "While these latter cases are not analagous, as in the case of the South African war, to the situation of Austria-Hungary and Germany in the pres ent; war, they nevertheless : clearly in dicate the long established practice of the two empires in the matter of trade in war supplies.- "In view of - the foregoing state ments, this, government Is reluctant to believe that the Imperial and Royal government will ascribe to the United States a lack' of impartial neutrality ON HIS FEET AGAIN! ! I IC0NFl3e.NCE --jL-t " - ' VOU" From the Chicago Herald. in continuing its legitimate trade in all kinds of supplies used to render the armed forces of a belligerent ef ficient, even though the circumstances of the present ; war prevent Austria- Hungary from obtaining such supplies rrom tne markets of the United States. which have been and remain, so far as the action and policy of this govern ment are concerned, open to all bellig erents alike. ' - - " V. S. Bu Ho Arms Reserve. "But in addition to the Question of principle, there Is a practical and substantial- reason why the government of trie united States has from the founda tion, of the republic to the present time aavocated and practiced unre stricted trade in arms and military supplies. It has never been the policy of this country to maintain in time of peace a large military establishmeui or stores of arms and ammunition suf ficlent to repel invasion by a Will- equipped and powerful enemy. It has aesireu to remain at peace with all nations and avoid any appearance of menacing such peace by the threat cf its armies and navies." V. S. Depends on other Nations. " "In consequence of this- standing policy,, the .United.: States, .in event of an . attack by a. foreign power, would be at the outset of a war, seriously, if not fatally, embarrassed by the lack of arras and ammunition and by the means' to produce them in sufficient quantities to supply the requirements of national defense. The United States has always depended on the right and power to purchase arms and ammuni tion from neutral nations in case-of foreign attack. . .This right, which it claims for itself, it cannot deny to others. . f. ? ; Peaceful nations at Disadvantage. "A nation whose principle and policy it is to rely upon international jjtiliga tions and international justice to pre serve its political and territoriaf ' in tegrity might become the prey of an aggressive nation whose policy and practice it is to increase its military strength . during times of peace with the design of . conquest, unless the na tion attacked can, after war had been declared, go into the markets of the world land purchase the means to de fend itself against tne aggressor. Torce Would Supplant Justice. "The general adoption by the nations of the world . tho theory ' that neutral powers ought to prohibit' the sale of arms and ammunition to belligerents would! compel' every nation to have in readlrjess at all times sufficient muni tions "of' war to meet any emergency which might arise and to erect and maintain establishments for the manu facture of arms and munitions to sup ply the needs of Its military and naval forces throughout . the progress , of a war. Manifestly the application of this theory would result In every nation's becoming an armed camp, ready to re sist aggression and tempted to employ force in asserting its right rather than appeal to reason and Justice for the settlement of international disputes. Would Compel . Militarism, "Perceiving, as it does, - that the adoption of the principle that it is the duty jof a- neutral to prohibit the sale of arms and ammunition to a belliger ent durlngthe progress of a war would Inevitably " give the advantage "to the belligerent which had encouraged the1 manufacture of munitions In time, of peace and Which had laid in vast-stores of. arjms and ammunition in anticipa tion of war. the government of the United States Is convinced that the adoption of . the theory! would force militarism on the. ; world and work $15 suit at Moyer's is the equal of a $20 ordin suit at Quality, Style, Service are the three essentials you will always find in Moyer -$15 suits. j . . v ... i .-. : , " .

Sot Passing on Present War. "The government of the United States, in the foregoing discussion of the practical reason why it has advo cated and practiced trade in munitions of war, wishes to be understood as speaking with no thought pf expressing or implying any Judgment with regard to the circumstances of the present war, but as merely putting, very frank ly, the argument in this matter which has been conclusive in determining the policy of the United States. "While the practical manifestations so well illustrated by Germany and Aust.ria-Hungary duringthe South Af rican war, and the manifest evil which would result from a change of practice render compliance with the suggestion of the imperial and royal government out of the question, certain assertions appearing in the Austria-Hungary statement' of the Germans for its con tentions cannot be passed over without comment. Austrian Assertions Quoted. "These assertions are substantially as follows: ' "(1) That the exportation of arms and agiunltion from the United States to belligerents' contravenes the pream ble of The Hague convention of 1907 3) That it is inconsistent with the refusal of this government to allow furnishing -of supplies to vessels of war oh the high seas. (3) That oc- cording to all authorities of interna tional law who concern themselves more properly with the question, ex portation should be prevented; when this traffic assumes such a 'form or such dimensions that the "neutrality of a nation becomes Involved thereby. Hague Preamble Cited. "As to the assertion that the expor tation of arms and ammuitlon contra venes the preamble of The Hague con vention of 1907, this government pre sumes that reference is made to toe last paragraph of the preamble, which Is as follows: - "'Seeing that, in this category of ideas these rules should not, In princi ple, be altered In the course of the war by a neutral power, except in a case where experience has shown the neces sity for such change for the protection of the rights of that power. "Manifestly' the only ground to change the rules laid down by the con vention, one of which. It sihouid be noted, explicitly declares that a neu tral is not bound to prohiibt .the ex portation of bontraband of war. Is the necessity of a neutral power f to do so in order to protect its own rights. Bignt to Change Zs Neutral's. "The right and duty to determine when this necessity exists rests with the neutral, not with a belligerent. It is discretionary, not mandatory.. If a neutral power does not avail itself of its right, a belligerent is not privileged to complain, for in so doing It would be in the position of declaring to the neutral power that which is necessary to protect that power's own rights. The imperial and royal government cannot but perceive that a complaint of this nature would invite just re buke. "With reference to the asserted in consistency "of the course adopted by this government in relation to the ex portation of arms and ammunition and that followed in not allowing supplies to be taken from its ports to ships of war on the high seas. It is only neces sary to point out thai the prohibition of supplies to ships of war rests upon the' principle: that -a neutral, country must not permit its territory to. be come a naval base for either belliger ent., A warship may under certain re strictions, obtain fuel and supplies in a neutral port once in three months. All Season Against Prohibition, "It may not be Inopportune to direct particular attention to the declaration of the German authority, Paul Elnicke, who states that at the beginning of a war belligerents have never remon strated against , the enactment of pro hibitions of trade in contraband, but adds, that such prohibitions may be considered as violations of neutrality, or at least as .unfriendly acts, if they are enacted during a' war with the purpose . to .close unexpectedly the sources of supply ! to a' party which heretof ore had relied, on them. -"The government of the United States deems it unnecessary to extend further at the present time a consid eration of the statement of th:Aus-tro-Hungarian government. The, prin ciples of international law,--the prac tice of nations, the national safety of ! the United States and other " nations without great? military and naval, dis play, the prevention of increased: armies and navies, 'the adoption of practical methods for the adjustment of international , differences, finally neutrality Itself, are : opposed to the prohibition by neutral nation of the exportation of arms, ammunition or other implements of war to belliger ent powers, "during the progress of the . - ' "LANSING."
