PEACE FOR COMMERCIAL NATIONS.

The refusal Of the Egyptian. which are prac-
tcally British authorities to permit the coaling
OF Admiral Camara's fleet in the ports at either
end Of the Suez Canal, or in the canal ITSELF
appears to be clearly justified by the terms or
the treaty under which the canal is operated.
II is expressly forbidden that armed vessels or
transports bearing troops shall take aboard in
the canal or at either extremity any munitions
of war; In modern times the term munitions

coal II would probably he most advantageous

upon which the great commercial! nations Of the
world have especial reason to insist. II Is to
the advantage Of them all that the destructive
rcss Of war shall BE confined as far as possible
10 the nations engaged therein, and that armed
vessels or forces shall not be helped Oh their
way by neutrals TO fields Of operation far from
home.
The commercial nations are substantially
agreed in treating as cOntraband Of war sup

though they differ somewhat in their interprc-
tation Of the rule But entire agreement be

At present Great Britain controls nearly all
