COTTON DECLARED CONTRA
BAND BY ENGLAND

Theaetion Of the allies in declar-
ing cotton contraband, both as to
its news and its effect, has been
largely discounted. That our gov
eminent will protest and protest
,trongiy there is no doubt. There
viii M sharp diplomatic CORE.
spOndence respecting the matter
md our government may adopt a
oolieg that will lessen greatly the
benefits that the allies are receiving
IRON This country. Much, however,
will depend upon the effect that the
making of cotton contraband will
have upon the price of cotton and
the provision the allies make for
assisting in the marketing of cotton
in the neutral countries of Europe.
Neither side in the war is show
ing much consideration for the rights
and Interests Of neutrals. Each is
looking out only for itself. Neu
trails are given kind words and ex-
plantations in response TO their
protests aud complaints but they
are Il poor compensation for the
losses sustained. Neutrals have
got 10 look out for themselves and
protect their interests the best they
can. It is certain that if they are
expecting consideration iron either
side they are goingt to be disappoint-
ed.
When Russia, in her war with
Japan, proposed to.make cotton
conditional contraband Great Brit
ain protested vigorously. Cotton
was then used in the manufacture
# ammunition, just as it is now.
However. Great Britain now asserts
slsal she has perfect legal right.
to make cotton contraband. A
belligerent easily finds arguments
to do what it wants to do where the
rights of neutrals. are concerned and
has the power.
We do not of course think that
the allies aIe totally Indifferent as
to how much injury they do neu-
trails but there is plenty Of evidence
that-they are doing what they think
will be for their own benefit regard
less Of the injury they are doing
neutrals.
Neither the President nor the
Secretary Of State will find much
time for vacation this, year. They
have two very serious international
questions to deal with now. that
with Germany, respecting the rights
Of neutraIs on the seas, and that
witch the allies, respecting cotton,
and in both the people Of this coun-
try are profoundly interested.
Either or both of them may lead
to perilous situations. In fact the
the issue with Germany has about
reached that situation now. To.
avoid actual war will require judge
ment and diplomatic ability of the
highest order.-Ex.
