quiry frolll Senator Stone for inform- :ltioll ns ll result of complaints made ill the press, and ill letters from vari- ous parts of the country, charging thc Wuslllllgtoll government with llnfar- lless to Germany and Austria, it also is intended as tl. -pronoullcelnent of policy' on some questions oi' neutrality previously unexplained.

Those ill this country who sympathize with Ger- many and Austria-Hungary appear to assume that some obligation rests up- on this government, ln the perform- ance of its neutral duty to prevent all trade to-contraband. and thus to equalize the difference due to the relative naval strength ofthe belliger- ellts. No such obligation exists; it would be all unneutral act, an act of ,partiality on the part of this govern- ‘lnent, to adopt such a policy, if the

[executive had the power to do so.
