Dated this 13th day of September, 1939. The history of neutrality has been full of contradictions like that. It leads to all sorts of complications— arguments over contraband, priva- teering, retaliations. Nations at war have even fought for the trade of their enemies. Great Britain, in the World War, for instance, prevented American shippers from sending hogbacks to Sweden on the grounds that the glycerin in them found its way to Germany. Yet Great Britain, her-/ self, sent hogbacks to Sweden, and profited from the trade. These are the facts about neu- trality distilled from our 150 years of experience as a nation, We usually let our sense of right and wrong lead us into struggle, or else we insist on our right to use the world’s highways. Belligerents don't always like that. They seem to be more interest- ed in winning than they are in the rights of neutrals.
