BRITISH PRESS
 JUS1|F|ES ACT Asserts That Blockade of Commerce Was Only Way To Retaliate
 for Germany's Warfare.

LONDON, March 19.-The British press generally expresses the hope that President Wilson will be satis- fled with the reply of the British gov ernment to his protest concerning the blockading of commerce to Germany from neutral nations.
 The Daily News says: "The pass age in MT. Asquith's speech which will command the most attention. not in this country only, but throughout the world, Is that in which he an. nounced the governments reply to the policy of piracy entered on by Ger. many While expressing regret for any inconvenience which the meas ures would cause to the neutrals, he made it clear that Germany's action left us no alternative, and that the steps we took would be without risk to neutral ships and in strict observ. ance of the dictates of humanity.
 we do not think that neutral coun- tries will complain of these reprisals. They will understand that Germany entered on a policy of murder on the high seas, largely in the hope of in. volving us in difficulties with neu- tral countries, and that in view of that policy any further delay in adopting the most drastic measures would have been to prolong and i'm peril the result. If there is any criti- cism outside it will probably be di- rected to the absence of any collu- sion to the use of neutral flags"

New York, June pa committee
on the division of the peoples income
appointed by the civic federation, in
report Just made asserted that two
thirds of the net earnings from manu-
facturers go to wage earners, while
one-third goes TO capital. Out of this
one-third, the report states, the CAPT
talists must provide for depreciation.
The members of the committee were
w. ]. Pape of Waterbury, Conn; Pro
fessor John b. Clark of Columbia
university and Rev. John A. Ryan OF
st. Paurs Seminary. st. Paul, Mimi
Their report says:
THE trap into which so many who
undertake to reason from the census
have fallen lies in the hasty assump-
ton that the gross product of manu-
featuring industries is the measure
of wealth produced. From the S2,42O,
the AVERAGE value of each worker s
annual output, must he deducted ST.
395 for materials, leaving $l,O25 to
represent the added value given raw
materials in manufacturing"
After capital has paid taxes, rents,
royalties, insurance and similar
charges, the committee said, there re,
mains 1888 to be divided between
owner and employer, of which labor
gets $500, or 664 per cent, while
capital gets S299, or 1876 per cent.

detail, however. to put officials in an
optimistic attitude. 1t was communi-

clear that Germany cannot make an,
