PRESS COMMENT ON AMERICAS
PROTEST TO GREAT BRITAIN

LONDON. Jan. l. The Saturday
Review describes President Wilson's
note. protesting against the British
attitude toward American shipping as
"a document from a candid friend who.
Just because he Is Il friend. can say
things which between strangers
would De regarded as having too
rough an edge" The Review does not
think II should be impossible for two
governments who have no wish IT,
find causes for taking the offensive.
to reconcile their points of view.
The position of a belligerent with
respect TO command of the sea, SAYS
this paper. is different. even when
neutral governments are friends. But
his position Is determined absolutely
by the fact that England has that com
mand of the sea, and cannot surren-
der her right TO use 1t for defeat of
the enemy by any means sanctioned
under international law"
Unfortunately, the Review contin-
ties. 1t Is necessary TO interfere with
the custom of neutral countries Of sell
ling in the dearest markets, but there
is evidence that Britain will strain
TO meet every reasonable complaint
and make the yoke OF the trident az
light as Is compatible With the objects
of the British navy"
The Nation says:
I'VE confess the feeling some re-
greet AZ this form OF American note
We wish 1t had been somewhat diff
ferently expressed and despatched in

We will not say of diplomacy, but
OF a friendly correspondence. .
There are two ways or conducting
a controversy of public interest. A
man may give his correspondent the
sole benefit OF his mind, or he may
turn a missive into Il missile by des-
patching n copy of It to the press
at or before the hour of its receipt BY
the person Immediately concerned. It
appears the American state depart
ment chose the later course, but there
Is no call to turn an error of tact into
one OF substance.
For the rest there Ia no deeply
serious cause for complaint. 1t was
inevitable that a nation not at war

in the opportunities for acquiring an
additional amount Of farm land
There is no discounting the fact
that Montana lands find favor in the
eyes of the practical farmer or the
investor and there is reason to he

it.. There is a difference in beginning
