SAPPING THE FOUNDATIONS
"At the moment there is no more insidious attack being made upon the foundations of prosperity and of peace than that which •s being made by the advocates of economic nationalism and of neutrality in case a conflict should break out between two other nations," says Dr. Nieholas Murray Butler. "There is and can be no economic nationalism without ultimate national suicide and worldwide disaster. There is and can be no neutrality, in the nineteenthcentury sense, without complete and immoral negleet of the highest of national obligations. "The attempt to establish old-fashioned neutrality under newfashioned conditions will not only do nothing to keep a nation out of any war which comes to pass. In this day and generation progress consists in not overlooking governmental immorality and faithlessness, but in preventing it when possible and in rebuking it when impossible to prevent it.
