COTTON AS CONTRABAND

Should England Take Such Action
Washington Would Enter
Vigorous Protest.

WASHINGTON. July 2l.-Sh Guild
Great Britain notify the United States
formally that she will hold cotton to
be an absolute contraband of war, 4
new grave commercial issue will be
created.
The United States will reply that
shipments OF cotton cargoes TO neutral
ports arc to Ge regarded rs intended for
thosc ports. and 1t cannot he assumed
that they are intended for Germany
The United States does not consider
cotton contraband OF war. Last fall
the United states Was Informed that
Great britain did not intend 10 place
cotton on the absolute contraband list
ana officials therefore have become
kccnly Interested Ia the recent state
ineht In England by Lord Crcwc that
It might become necessary to place 1t
on that list. II was pointed out in this
connection at the state Department to-
day that limitations had come from
Great Britain that ros!n and turpen-
tine and such naval stores would not
be made absolute cOntraband, yet Great
Britain changed her mind over night
on this matter.
The opinion of officials is that, as
the cotton trade is one of such vast

puts IL on the contraband list, n definite

The United States will maintain that
any arrest of a cargo of cotton bound

Great Britain had not absolute proof

effectively hlockaded under the terms
OF international law, and most Of the
German ports are regarded as so

A sEvEN-FoLD increase in the mill
tary and naval appropriations in the
past twenty-five years, and yet we
are unprepared! What has been done
with the money professedly devoted
to that service? This is a question,
it seems to me, that ought to be salts
~factorily answered before Congress
can with reason be requested to
further deplete, for warlike purposes,
the already shrunken public purse
The nine battle ships now under con-
struction will entail a cost of 1925 600
900. How much more will be demand
ed by the "patriots" with guns and
munitions and steel plate to dispose
of? And how far will "the fool people''
accede to their demands? Congress
must give the answer to this question,
and it is to be hoped our Representa-
tives will not be swerxed from the
exercise of plain common sense, no
matter the clamorous i~nsistence bred
of self-interest in the vitiated sur
roundings at Washington.

President Wilson electrified the coun-
try and started a stampede out of
Washington, when he charged that the
capital was infested by an '~insidions
lObbyn which he was determined to
smoke out. The hegira which follow
ed this presidential warning left
Washington hotel men to mourn the
good old times. There was never be-
fore such a hustling to get out of-the
City OF Magnificent Distances. Bat
the "insidiousi' lobbYi' of 1918 was a
negligible force in comparison with
the more insidious lobby which now
infests the capital. The lobby which
challenged presidential attention in
1913 and which fled before the scourge
which the White House brought into
view was frankly selfish. 1t made few
if any pretensions of patriotism. 1t
was not saving the country. 1t was
not ~buttressing u shores against a
threatened invasion. 1t was not
particularly anxious about the flag. 1t
was troubling itself little with the
Yellow Peril or the German DOGGY. 1t
was there merely to get all that was
TO be had for the railroads, for steel,
for sugar, for glass, for ship yards,
for powder mills, for gun factories,
for lumber and for all the other pets
of privilege which republicanism had
been nurturing for many years. The
President might well turn his atten-
ton to this lobby. The one driven by
him from Washington two years ago
was praiseworthy by comparison.
There YVES little false pretense in that
"~insidious'' aggregation which haunt
ed the halls of congress and besieged
the departments of government in
pursuit of favors. But the lobby of
which the Army and Navy league, the
National Security league, the National
Rifle association, the Aero Club of
America and scores of similar organi-
cations are the visible expressions, is
of the very essence of false p%retence.
1t is greed masquerading in the vest
ments of patriotism. 1t is militarism
cloaked in the garb of peace. 1t is
selfish ambition posing as dislnterest-
ed public spirit. 1t is Imperialism of
the sordid sort whose democratic
habiliments do not conceal the iron
hand or the two-edged sword. That
it should indefinitely pursue its SIMS
ter work unchallenged seems un-
thinkable. The President and con-
gress should both call it to account
and force a revelation of the secret
springs of action and the secret
sources of supply. And the country
will be much disappointed should the
President and congress fail to turn
on the light.

CLAYTON ARGUS: "If defeat comes

The Republicans can not carry Mis-

comfort. Democratic voters should
beware Of the poison being scattered

party disruption and defeat. Missouri

prosperous and best-governed states

blot or stain. It's affairs have been

Democrats since the day of its birth,

the mayor about obtaining wine for
use in the sacrament of the Lords
Supper in his church, as the ritual
says that wine shall be used. The
mayor suggested grape juice, but the
minister insisted that wine is the
fermented juice of grapes. The
pastor assured the mayor that it
was not his intention to violate the
laws of the city, but that in the holy
communion at his church wine is
necessary. He referred to the con-
stitution of the United States, which
says, Congress shall make no law re-
