Taft Praises President
For Neutrality Stand
Special to Th* Ttlcgrafh
Mftdison, Wis., May 7. —Commend-
ing President Wilson for the policy of
neutrality "which he has so conscien
tiously followed"; declaring against a
change In the present International
rule which would prohibit neutrals
furnishing foodstuffs and ammunition
to belligerents and urging an arbitral
court of the greater nations which
would make war In the future im
possible, former President W. H. Taft
yesterday addressed the Wisconsin
legislature.
Referring to the war, the ex-Presl
dent said:
"We are In a state of anxious ex
pectancy—a state of sorrow. For a
time we are enjoyihc a feverish activ
ity in many branches u£ industry. We
must take care that we are not over
joyful and misled—that all of this is
real prosperity.
"We have been criticized for the sale
of arms and ammunition permitted
under the International rules. The
rule has always been that neutrals
could furnish arms and foodstuffs. As
a nation we should not place ourselves
at a disadvantage and take an oppo
site view of this question.
"We are always unprepared for war.
We must always expect aid from neu
trals in case of war. It would be an
unwise policy in my judgment for us
to change the rule."
