Should Urge Neutrality of the Seas


lh VIEW step IN the right direct ion, but
IL step which should greatly hasten
,he day when peace will be restored SO
long as each side is bent upon the de

peace. For either side to have a complete
victory would take years and ruin ali the

shortening OF the war lies In the pos

AZ once adopt the plans of the South

fewer ships YOU have engaged IN foreign

"Yes, Mr.. Babson. although the diplo-
mats OF my nation have made grave mis-
takes and although we have Committed
crime on Belgium, let me tell you that
fundamentally We are lighting only for
commercial freedom Also. let me add
that, as religious wars were suppressed
only by the granting of religious free
dom and political wars became thing
OF the past IN civilized nations only as
political freedom was granted, so this
great commercial war OF to-day can be
permanently settled only through the
gra n'ing OF commercial freedom"

THE PANAMA CANAL AS A BREEDER
OF WAR.
The chief advantage OF The Panama Canal
in the even: Of existing or threatened war VIII
be that-ke the strategic railways OF Ger
many in land operatons-it will enable naval
reinforcements to be transferred rapidly on IN
terror lines from ocean 20 ocean. 1t thus
sbortens the passage to the Pacific by sixty
days-time emo Oh to win decisive action on
our far-fung military frontier there, or, by the
presence OF superior force. to avert war
Further, in the event OF attack on both coasts
it is Just possible that a sufficiently powerful
American feet might defeat one enemy on the
Atlantic and then, sweeping through the canal,
DESTROY the other on the Pacific. This con-
ception seems more pleasing than probable.
Another advantage of prime importance is
thst the canal eliminates the perhaps unsolv-
able problem OF fuel supply by South American
neutrals in the passage TO POSSIBLE war area
in the Pacific As to this Captain II. 5. Knapp,
u. S. NJ. says:
1T (the canaD means the possibility OF
sending ships from the Atlantic to almost my
place where they will be needed in the PACING
by route that has fuel stations under our nag
along the entire distance. no tyo Of which are
further apart than the fuel endurance OF our
capital ships. This is an enormous sdvan,age.
To estimate the magnitude OF this advan-
tage one need but recall that some years ago.
when our battle feet steamed around the
world. it was attended by more than forty mer-
chant vessels crrying fuel and supplies and
all flying foreign flags. If sudden war had
come during that globe-girdling cruise these
transports would have been transformed auto
raticay into enemies or neutrals. In he
latter event they would have vanished at once
leaving our admiral hard pressed 70 get his
ships hone. -,
