U S HELD FACING BIG MORAL ISSUE British Economist Declares She Cannot Ignore Inter- national Situation. BY SIR JOSIAH STAMP, Bconomist and Director of the Bank of England. (Written for the Associated Press.) LONDON, October 8.—America to- day is facing the biggest moral issue of her history in view of the grave turn of events in the international situation. It is the difference between active participation in measures necessary to save the world and merely & state of letting things take their own course, perhaps profiting by them for a time. If Italy intended to go to war it 1t is as well the situation is now defi- nite. We are no longer dealing with a hypothesis. The situation is defi- nite in & way that enables the world to judge very simply and clearly the issues involved. It is not clouded by any doubts about intentions or justi- fcation. Gives League Clear Issue. Any nation which signed the Kel- logg pact and has solemnly under- taken not to use war as & weapon of force for the settlement of disputes and breaks that undertaking faces & protest from the whole world. This gives the League & clear issue, though there may not immediately be & clear program for dealing with it. Obviously any action which League members may take to show their dis- approval and prevent Italy from being assisted will depend on the extent to which non-League nations realize the jeopardy to the world and behave sympathetically. Non-League nations may not join in actual formal acts of the League, but if they allow their individuals to step in and take personal advantage of the economic situation so created they will be acting not only against the interests of the League but against their own interests—in the civilization to stand. Moving in Right Direction. America could be only cynically in- different at the price of Europe in ruins and Europe in ruins can never be of interest to America. The moral issue from America is the difference between active par- ticipation in measures necessary to save the world and a state of letting things slide. The recent pronouncement of her statesmen, particularly President Roosevelt'’s pronouncement Saturday and the prompt action of the Amer- ican Government in connection with the Ethiopian oil concession, indicate America knows where the interests of the whole world really lie and is mov- ing rapidly in the direction I have indicated—not allowing her individ- uals to counteract the League's action. _ REPRESENTATIVE SCOTT ACQUITTED BY JURY California Legislator, Charged With Intoxication, Makes Denial in Court. By the Associated Press. LYNWOOD, Calif, October 8.—A Jury acquitted Byron N. Scott of Long Beach, California Representative, of an intoxication charge yesterday after deliberating 21 minutes. Scott denied he was intoxicated when arrested September 16. He said he submitted to a sobriety test by the Lynwood police chief only because he thought the officer was “having some fun at my expense.” “I walked the chalk line and an- awered his questions in & spirit of levity,” Scott testified. “I made a few mistakes. It was all in fun. I positively was not drunk.” Records of the court showed Scott pleaded guilty when arrested and was sentenced to serve 50 days in jail or pay a $100 fine, but that he later changed his plea and demanded & jury trial.
