BRANDS OF NEUTRALITY.
There .ire millions in the United States for whom neutrality means a scornful refusal to get mixed up with the'quarrels of foreigners, and thousands for whom it means a chance to go on having their own way and to make some money out of the light, writes an American clergyman in the “New Witness,” New York. 33ut there is a high and true neutrality which does • no! take sides because it is too busy taking responsibility. There is a neutrality the heart of which is justice and redemptiveness; justice in facing the sins of both sides—the—- sins of Versailles and the past quarter-century of international intrigue and selfiishness, as well as the sins oh Hitler and the totalitarians; and redemptiveness toward botli sides, which thinks and works constantly, not for the defeat of one side and the victory of the other, but for the defeat of sin, and the victory of God, in every nation.
