Russia Expected
To Create Buffer
State in Poland
Its Share in Partition
Believed Much Greater
Than Many Think
By PERTINAX.
PARIS. Sept. 19. (N.A.N.A.).—It Is
reported from a fairly reliable source
that Russia's share in the partition
of Poland is much greater than is
commonly imagined.
Apart from the territory both con
querors intend to incorporate within
their empires one way or the other,
a Socialist republic of Poland would
be created, around Warsaw, accord
ing to some—around Cracow, ac
cording to others—to be placed un
der Russian protectorate.
That solution would be strangly
akin to the solution devised by the
Congress of Vienna in 1815, when
the Grand Duchy of Warsaw was
proffered to Alexander I. while, in
the third partition of Poland, in 1795,
Prussia, Austria and Russia had be
come coterminous upon Polish ter
ritory and had suppressed all ves
tiges of an independent and even of
an autonomous Poland.
Were such a plan really to exist,
it would mean that Adolf Hitler
and German Foreign Minister von
Ribentrop have not hesitated to pay
a very big price to win Russia to
the cause of Germany, besides mak
ing the shrewd calculation that the
new territorial arrangement would
have for them the advantage of
making it very difficult for France
and Great Britain to discriminate
between Germany and Russia, to
fight the former and spare the
latter.
In the light of the above details,
it becomes quite intelligible that
the French and British negotiators
in Moscow, who never understood
that Russia sought to regain the
territories lost in 1918, had no
chance to succeed, and that their
insistence upon the principle of
nonintervention in the internal
affairs of small states was bound
to alienate from the western powers
Joseph Stalin and his advisers.
On the other hand, the fact that
revolutionary Russia appropriates
to herself the policy of territorial
expansion obstinately carried out
by the Romanoff Empire means
trouble for German-Russian rela
tions in the future, near or far.
The consequences upon the atti
tude toward Russia of the Balkan
states and of Turkey may be far
reaching.
Wilhelmina Confident
Dutch Will Stay Neutral
By the Associated Press.
THE HAGUE, Sept. 19—Queen
Wilhelmina, in a speech from the
throne opening Parliament today,
expressed her gratefulness that the
Netherlands remained at peace and
the hope that war between other
nations could be ended by negotia
tions.
Voicing profound pity for the vic
tims of war, the Queen said: "I re
joice that our friendly relations with
all powers continues unimpaired.
“This refers especially to our re
lations to those neutral countries
with which we established closer
contact in previous periods.”
She alluded to the peace appeal of
the Northern European neutral
states before the outbreak of hostili
ties and to the offers of the good
offices of King Leopold of Belgium
and herself toward the mediation of
European disputes.
Her majesty said that mobiliza
tion of the Netherlands Army and
Navy (in order to maintain the
Netherlands’ strict neutrality) had
been carried out perfectly, and she
expressed confidence in the ability
of her armed forces to insure the
country’s neutrality.
Referring to economic conditions
In Holland, she said the navigation
and fishing industries were in a very
unfavorable position as was agricul
ture, the latter because of the dis
location of exports.
Swiss Lower Military Age
BERNE, Sept. 19 <JP).—The Fed
eral Council yesterday authorized
a cut in the age for military train
ing from 20 to 19. making a new
class of about 20,000 available for
the Swiss Army.
Neutrality Background—
Congress Began Experimenting With Embargoes
In 1934; Mandatory Ban Came Later
This is the second of a series
of four articles sketching the
background of the American def
inition of neutral rights and pol
icies in wartime.
Declining to be any part of the
League of Nations, the United
States followed a policy of rela
tive isolation from 1918 to 1928.
In that year it took a leading
part in formation of the Kellogg
pact, designed to prevent war by
outlawing it as an instrument for
adjusting world grievances.
Disconnected efforts to imple
ment this pact by various types
of neutrality legislation achieved
only a single minor success prior
to 1935; namely, the enactment
of a discretionary embargo
against arms shipments to Bo
livia and Paraguay in 1934. But
in 1934 and 1935 a special Senate
committee hit the headlines with
disclosures of extensive American
financial involvement in the
World War prior to our actual
entry. Charges were made that
this condition led to our partici
pation, and legislative action re
sulted in 1935.
This initial action was in the
form of a joint resolution, impor
tant provisions of which were to
expire in February, 1935. In
cluded was a section directing
the President to proclaim a state
of war when such existed, with
an accompanying mandatory em
bargo against the export of arms,
ammunition or implements of
war from the United States to
any belligerent, or to any neutral
for trans-shipment to a bellig
erent.
The President was accored dis
cretionary authority to forbid
American citizens to travel on
belligerent vessels at their own
risk, to restrict entry of foreign
submarines to American waters,
and to take precautions against
transport of men or munitions
from American ports to bellig
erent ships at sea. This legis
lation also provided for the li
censing of all arms exports and
imports.
Although President Roosevelt
criticized the mandatory char
acter of the arms embargo, Con
gress made it even more rigid
in wording when it extended it
the following winter to May 1,
1937.
Congress also decreed in 1936
that the arms embargo should
be accompanied by a ban on
loans to belligerents but made
the whole act inapplicable to
American nations when engaged
in war with non-American states,
providing the American state is
not co-operating in its war with
another non-American state.
In early 1937 an emergency res
olution made the neutrality
statute applicable to civil warfare
and it was subsequently invoked
in the Spanish Civil War. Pre
viously, the applicable provisions
had been invoked in the Italo
Ethiopian war but the Chino
Japanese conflict has been offi
cially ignored.
