CLAIMS ENGLAND WAGES
WAR ON UNITED STATES
Former German Colonial Secretary
Discusses Sea Policy of
the British.

ST PAUL. MINI. February 3-Dr
| bernhard Dernburg. the former colo
NAL secretary of the German empire,
| IN an address here last night argued
| that the logical sequence of the inter-
ruption of trade between Germany and
! the United States through Great Brit
| ans command of the sea, both trans
| portation and communication, is that
! the war with Germany is 4 war
| against the United States
| The speaker. who is making Il series
/ Of addresses, told of the commercial
| enlbarrassmcnts now suffered by Ger
| many and the effect upon neutra
| countries. After reviewing the re-
! sources of this country and describing 4
. II rs the chief purNcyor to the world
| OF oil, lumber. cotton and copper, DIR.
; 'crnburS told Of the situation in Ger
many. where about .o.ooo,o"o people
| arc living in Il territory lot larger
| than California, which means, he said,
about thlrty-five Germans to one Cali
fornian in the same area.
Must Buy Raw Materials.
| The country, he said, was rich only
III coal and potash. so far natural
! resources were concerned. $50 that
! German genius he said, has had to
| be applied in the manufacture of high
| ly finished goods, importing raw stuffs
| not only for manufacturing purposes,
| but also for home consumption.
''On this basis an enormous trade has
been established between the United
| States and my country. Of cotton no
( less than 2.15o,00O bales have been
purchased here during the last year.
In copper, Germany is the best Gus
toner of the United States. OF wood
and lumber her purchases in this coun-
try have been constantly increasing"
The stopping of German competl-
tion on the sea means a loss of $780,
100000 to the people of the United
States" said the speaker, and it was
in this connection that he declared a
war with Germany was against this
country.
A Reversal of Doctrine.
( He spoke at length Of Great Britain s
| intentions in relation to conditional
| contraband, declaring that country had
reversed the doctrine that when cond1-
| tional contraband is stopped the bur
den rests upon the captor to prove that
| the goods were destined for the use OF
| the armies or navies of adversarles
| He declared that by the reversal of
the recognized doctrines relating to
contra band England hoped to starve
Germans at home. In this connection
| he said:
"And while the English will proba bly,
| be balked in this ingenious device by
the action of the United States. as we'll
as by German thrift that will supple
ment the needed quantities from other
sources. it is a fair example of the
spirit in which the English conduct
| their warfare. The uncertainty of the
status of conditional contra band is
doing untold harm to a number of
people in these states and is largely
responsible for the fearful increase .in
unemployment"

BOOM IN SH|PBU|LD|NG
AT THE AMERICAN YARDS
Contracts at Big Prices Largely the
Result of the European
War.

There is an unprecedented boom in
shipbuilding in the shipyards of the
United States. The shipyards of the
Atlantic seaboard for many months
had so little to do that they scrambled
and cut prices to get the smallest
order. but today every one of the big
plants is SO busy that the smaller
plants are getting the overflow and
are also crowded with work
Bargain prices in new ships prevailed d
during tht slack period; now u new
craft to sail the deep is costing big
money. The American shipyards lost
out III competition with foreign ship
yards in other days: today the Ameri-
can yards are getting work at their
own prices because OF the lack of for
eign facilities.
This story of prosperity in the ship
yards of the United States is brought
from Newport News by Capt. c. A. Nc
All1ster, chief engineer of the coast
guard, who was recently there to in
spect the two coast guard cutters build
ing at the Newport News drydock and
shipbuilding plant. That plant has
enough work on hand to keep $500
men busy for two years, and is likely
to refuse additional construction work
as beyond the capacity of the plant.
Total of 10000 Tons.
Prior to December 1 the shipyard at
Newport News did not take a single
construction order. Today, including
two battieships and two coast guard
cutters. it is building 10000 tons, dead
weight, of new ships
Cramps shipyard is signing up con-
tracts to crowd it with work The
Maryland Steel Company yard at
Sparrows point, the New York Ship
building Company at Camden and the
Fall river plant are all doing capacity
work. Although orders for repairs
are necessary to keep busy certain
facilities of the plant, a great part Of
repair work is being abandoned to
smaller plants; the bigger plants were
taking every bit of it they could get
only brief time ago.
Among ships building at Newport
News are two big oiltankers for the
Standard Oil Company. each $4,000
tons dead weight. These steel vessels
were to have been constructed in Ger
man yards, but the German concern,
una BILE to construct them, abandoned
the contract to American competitors.
This is only one of many foreign con-
tracts for construction that have been
abandoned, with American yards profit
ing.
Other Vessels Under Construction.
Two other big vessels being con-
structed at the Newport News yards
are a 10,O0O-ton dead weight steel
freighter for the Luckenbach company
and a 1O,000-ton dead weight freighter
for the New York and Porto Rico
Steamship Company.
