GOVERNMENT ALERT
TO PROTEST CREDITS
Confidence Felt That United
States viii Not Suffer by
European Complications.

With the greatest war in the history
OF civilization impending, the attitude If
this Government is one Of calm. but of
alertness and determination 20 make
every preparation possible for the A.
nancial fertilization OF the United States.
II Is not here question of armies. but
OF dollars and cents. The Administra-
ton feels that 1t is It's business to see
that the American people and Ameri-
can financial institutions are injured as
little as possible by the terrific blows
which may be struck at credits In the
worlds financial marts.
At the same time. the utmost conf
dnnce Is felt.
Measures Already Taken.

ment extending helping hand

gress prepared to put through legis-
lation amendatory Of the Aldrich-V ree-
land act and to consider the question
of admitting foreign ships to American
registry and with early Organize lion
OF the Federal reserve board In sight,
Federal officials consider the situation
II well in hand.
But there is to be more than this done
II need be. 1t Is apparent that IL Eng
LAM gets into the war and controls
the sea, there will be no difficulty In
sending exports abroad. II this country
can get rid OF its products. II will be
in excellent shape. One of the plans
seriously discussed Is the project of the
Government going into the shipping
business and having Government-owned
craft carry cargoes. The conversion or
certain naval auxiliaries into merchant
craft, 1t is believed by some thinking
men in Congress may become wise
move.
The Panama Canal.
Looming up of the utmost Importance
is the question of strait-laced neutrality
for the United States. The Government
may be expected to insist on this. The
fact that the Panama canal is not yet
opened Is the cause of some satisfaction
here, SO long as this country Is not at
war, and not going to war. II II were
open in a vast international struggle,
there might be difficulties arising in
connection with the passage of vessels
through 1t which would give this coun-
try much trouble, anxiety, and, posi-
bly,, might lead to complications But
1t Is not yet open. and opinion Is not
lacking here that the Government will
be In no hurry to open it.
