Editor Brooklyn Daily Eagle: In your issue of August 26, I read the letter of Henry Saune, about our not being neutral. If he will only use a little of his gray matter he see that the Government has nothing to do with the sale of munitions by private manufacturers; they can sell to whomsoever they please and that does not make the United States un-neutral. These manufacturers would sell to Germany also. Nothing to stop them.

How is it he did not send a protest when Germany was selling munitions to the Boers? And how about the same to Turkey in the war with Italy? He had nothing to say then; that was all right; now when the shoe begins to pinch he makes an outcry. How about vioo lating treaties when Germany invaded Belgium? That was only a scrap of paper. So with selling munitions to the only a scrap of paper." I say let them sell all the munitions they possibly can to the Allies and put an end to "Kultur." T. F. Brooklyn, August 30, 1915.
