COTTON CANNOT

British Attorney General Makes Clear
that Cotton cannot get through Ncu-
trnl Ports to 'rcutOnS.


trail Ports to TcutOns.
London, April lS.-That cotton is
kent from Germany and Austria just
as effectively as if it were declared alb
solutc contraband is the tenor OF
reply addressed by Attorney General
Simon to a conference Of chemists and
engineers who asked whether the gov
ernmcnt's action was sufficient TO make
it certain that no cotton reaches those
countries. The attorney general ven
lures some suggestions to those who
may be under some misapprchcnSlon
either as to the law OF contraband or
as to the steps which in fact are being
taken under the order in council OF
March H. The steps being taken un-
der authority OF that order in council
have been extremely effective in stop
ping cotton from reaching Germany
and the declaration OF cotton as con-
traband would not alter the result in
the very least so far as preventing
cotton reaching Germany is concerned
"If an article is declared absolute
contraband it can be stopped from go
ing to a German port and be stopped
even from going to an adjoining ncu-
trail port if it is in course Of transit
through that neutral port to an enemy
country. These are exactly the cir
cumstanccs in which under the order
in council any article can be stopped
whether it is contraband or not, and
of course this order in council is be-
ing put into force in all proper cases.
"To imagine that since March Il
anything can be gained so far as stop
ping the entrance Of cotton into Ger
many is concerned by calling it con
traband is. in effect, to suppose that a
blockade is rendered more effective if
you add that specified contraband ar
ticles will not be allowed to break that
blockade. A blockade stops all arti-
cles whether they are contraband OF
not, therefore, any additional rulings
would not have any practical consc-
uuences What Is true of Germany is
equally true Of Australia.

and we are glad to be called that.
We come from the country where
we are taught the class struggle in
our childhood; it is bred in our bones
to- fight oppression because we have
always had to fight it. We are used
to the Cossacks; they do not brighten
us. So long as we have souls in our
bodies we will go on fighting and
when we stop fighting it will be be-
cause our souls are dead"
eff we lose this strike it means
for the men that they might as well
jump in the river, but with girls it is
case of selling their bodies because
we cannot live on what we have
been making. We have got to win. -
The words were spoken by a man
and a girl, slender man with fire
in his eyes that makes one almost
believe he is being consumed in his
ardor for the cause of his people, and
girl who without emotion pointed
out what must be the fate of girl

their struggle is on each day. They
are pieketing the shops while the

by the bosses police force that the
strikers may not interfere.
At 9 O'Clock they are at the differ
ent halls attending shop meetings.
At noon they are again on the picket

return some one will have been slug

will be an added current of intensity
as they come back into the halls
again.
