The Washington times., 1915-02-28

Now. after hundred yc"rs of peace.
a situation has arisen between the
United States and Great Britain which
contains the elements of possible disas-
ter. This situation, like that prior to
1912, arises out OF British interference
with American commerce on the high
seas. AS in 1872, the British action is
part of its efforts to defeat an enemy on
he continent of Europe, this time Ger
many instead of France.
The American course in 1915 is every
whit as clear as 1t was in 1872. This
does not mean that we ought to declare
war against Great Britain, but 1t does
mean that we are bound to sustain the
policy to which we have been commit
ted throughout our history. Up to the
emergency under which 1t Is now acting.
this policy was historical with Great
Britain. 1t Is the British reversal Of
policy that brings it into controversy
at this critical juncture with the United

erty of belligerent. 1t was purchased
by Edward N. Breitung, an American
citizen. and was loaded with cotton at
Galveston with the announced intention
Of sailing for Rotterdam.
In a formal statement given out for
publication at the British embassy In
Washington, tho position Of the British
government is thus set forth:
I'm connection with the transfer OF
the Dacia from the German to tho
American flag the British government.
while anxious to avoid causing loss to
the shippers Of the cargo. have found
It impossible to agree that the transfer.
under the circumstances in which 1t
has been effected, is valid. in accord
a.nce with the accepted principles Of in
ternational law"
The statement goes on to announce
that If the Dacia sails 1t probably will
be captured by British warships, and.
II 1t is captured. the British government
will seek to hold it as u prize.

Boy Scout Scribes

To the Scout Editor:
A dozen OF the members of Troop II
attended the rally at st. Matthews
Church last Monday night. We met at
Twenty-second street and Minnesota
avenue and later were met by Mr. KID
well at Eleventh and NJ streets. When
We arrived at the church we helped
dispose Of the eats which had been
so kindly donated to us.
Some of us have been making a lot
of smoke lately trying to make fire
without matches. We have succeeded
In getting plenty of smoke but have
been unable to get flame. although
we hope a little practice will give better
results soon.

To the Scout Editor:
The scouts of Troop 81 met at the
Takoma Park Presbyterian Church
Monday morning to take part In the
Second division field day. The first
Of our sealed orders told us to go to
the bridge at Pennsylvania avenue
southeast. There we opened our second
order which told US to go to Minnesota
avenue. After hiking to Minnesota ave-
nue. we opened our third order, which
told us the program for the afternoon.
The principal event was capturing
scouts. One scout from each troop had
been hidden in the woods at Randle
Highlands before we arrived. Troop Ii
and our troop were the only ones who
captured anv Of the scouts. and were
tied for first place. Our little scout.

Two Reasons
For Change.

tnder these circumstances tne nat
ural question is: "Why has Great Brit
ain so suddenly and vigorously changed
Its position"
Two answers are forthcoming at once
to that question. One is from sources
friendly to the British and, In fact.
from the British government itself. The
other is from sources friendly to the
Germans.
The pro- British answer is that 1t is
prime necessity of the war tor Great
Britain to shut Off all supplies from
Germany that could be converted to It's
advantage in prosecuting the war
rying on war. the British naturally
seek to prevent money from getting to
Germany. AS the sale of the numer-
Gus German vessels interned In various
amount Of money to the Germans. Great
Britain seeks to prevent that sale. and
notifies the United States that 1t Will
not recognize the transfer OF any OF
these vessels to the American nag.
The pro-German answer Is that 1t is
not so much the prevention Of money
from going to Germany that Great Erit-
ain seeks as 1t is the prevention OF the
expansion of American carrying trade.
Those who give this answer assert that
British mills and factories are now run
ming at full time with all the hands that
can be secured. They point out that
british ships are all occupied all tne
time and at rates higher and more
profitable than ever before. They assert
that Great Britain is striving to retail,
all its own trade and commerce an:
to secure as much as it can of the
trade and commerce that were Ger
many's before the war.
They assert that Great Britain's de-
sire in this regard is so keen that its
government is deliberately willing ia
bring on strained relations with the
JTnited states in order to further this
purpose. They believe that Great Brit
ain is willing to push the United States
to the utmost limit In carrying out this
policy, and that nothing but the most
vigorous opposition on the part Of this
government will cause a change in the
pritish attitude

United States
Protests Seizure.

Already Groat Britain has seized sew
eral foreign built vessels that had been
transferred to the American flag since
the outbreak of the war, in accordance
with the provisions OF the act OF Au-
gust Is. In each case our Government
has protested, not on the ground that
the Transfer was distinctly within the
ance with the American position an
but upon the proposition that the ships
seized. having belonged to a foreign
corporation. the ma jorlty stock Of
which was owned by American citizens.
had always been. In fact. American
vessels.
In the case of the Dac!a that subter-
fuse cannot be pleaded. The sole
versy. If our historical position, be
maintained. is the good faith Of the
sale and purchase. or course II 1t can
be shown that Mr.: Breitung is not the
bona fde owner of the ship; that there
which it is to revert to the Hamburg
American or other German ownership
after the war, the sale Is fraudulent.
and the ship Is not entitled either to
the American flag or to American pro-
lection.
The natural presumption is that be-
fore the state Department authorized
the hoisting of the Stars and Stripes on
the Dacla II h0N satisfied Itself tnat us
purchase by Mr. Breitung was in good
faith and absolute.
Another natural presumption is that
the British government. in view of the
friendly relations existing between the
two nations. would be inclined to give
faith and credence to the authorization
of the State Department for the admis-
sion OF the Dacia to American registry.
But 1t is already clear that Great Brit
ain places no faith In the discretion OF
the state Department. at least In this
case.
The presumption is also set UP that.
wherever possible. Great Britain means
to contest the application by American
citizens of their rights under the his
torical position It has held so long itself.
