THE COTTON coNrRABANp ORDER.


Great Britain declaration of cotton contra
band WILDE vigorously protested by the United
States but it is doubtful if Secretary Lansing
hopes to secure a modification of the order.
More probably this country's protest will be
registered to keep the record clear when after
the war claims for payment are pressed.
The London Times recently explained the
British point of view as follows:
Germany has as her near neighbors the five
neutral states of Holland, Denmark, Norway,
sweden and Switzerland. These states have
rights which we cannot ignore. 81.
But we may justly complain when we find
them importing from IL to 18 times as much
cotton as they need for their domestic consump-
ton and exporting the surplus, or a large part
Of il, to the enemy, who cannot obtain it else
where, who cannot produce it himself, and to
whom a constant supply of this indispensable
raw, material is vital to his military strength
aWhats the British government has done is
to seek a. way out by. series of friendly and
private agreements. ALI cotton entering Hol-
land. for instance, is liable to seizure unless it
is consigned to The Netherlands Overseas
Trust, which is under heavy bonds to prevent
its re-export to Germany. In Sweden an ar
rangement has more recently been made with
an association of cotton spinners with the OBJ
ject Of limiting the importation of cotton into
that country to the needs of its domestic manu-
facturers This seems to me the only principle
that is at once sound and effective on which
we can proceed The arrangement with the
Dutch merchants proved anything but water
tight, largely because it does not expressly
limit the amount of cotton that may be inn
ported ,,

eight feet.

Until recently Yin Poy has had no
word from any Of the people of the
