It is a question of whether. in our desire to be of assistance to humanity. we should make this departure from the present law. Personally I doubt if this legislation. if enacted by Congress. will amount to a great deal. I say that for two reasons: First. the legislation requires that the safe conduct of these vessels be guaranteed by all of the belligerent nations. I doubt that that will happen. Suppose. for instance. application is made to Germany for safe conduct for one of these vessels for these refugee children. and Germany simply does nothing about it. In her business of prosecuting the war she does not answer that request. Then it would be nugatory.
