The law of unneutral service deals with those acts of neutral vessels which constitute assistance to a belligerent, significant enough in consequences to give the offender a hostile character. It must be emphasized that, contrary to the inferences of some writers, unneutral service has nothing to do with acts committed by a hostile state. There are rules dealing with such acts, but they are not comprehended within the meaning of the term which is the subject of this discussion.

The scope of activities covered by the rules of unneutral service is much more limited than one might casually suppose from the term itself. As determined by practice, the activities included are only those of privately owned vessels, committed in such a way as to afford actual assistance to a belligerent force, and of such a nature as to constitute a hostile action for which the agent might be found responsible.

Studies on leadership, by both laymen and academicians, abound. It is an oft- studied concept that has experienced a distinct evolutionary cycle typical of much of social science research. This paradigm is utilized to describe a variety of investi gations that suggest that self-esteem is a significant variable in individual produc tive functioning and leadership effectiveness. This literature is reviewed, focusing not on characteristics of a leader, but on superior-subordinate interactions. A con ceptual framework is presented that describes the importance of self-esteem, how it is affected in organization contexts, and what implications are apparent, given this evidence, for researchers, managers, and consultants.
