TALKS OF COTTON
Question Forms Leading Topic for Ed
itOrials in British Press.

London, Aug. 23.-Declaring cotton
contraband of war and speculation as
to what the United States will do con-
cerning the sinking of the Arabic form
tie main topics of editorials here this
morning.
Although the British press was by
no means unanimous in demanding
that cotton be made contraband, now
that the government has taken action
it's decision meets virtually with the
universal approval of t:ose newspa-
pers which hitherto had refrained
from urging the step. These newspa-
pers now take the view that the gov
ernment was in better position to
judge tie proper method of dealing
with the question.
Some comment shows that consid-
cradle political feeling mas entered
into the matter. The morning Post
claims that it has only been since the
coalition government entered into
power tat the order in council has
been administered in such a manner
as to prevent Germany receiving cot
ton through neutral ports.
The Post expresses the desire to
know why cotton woven fabrics and
textiles were not declared contraband,
since it says the claim has been made
that Germany can employ them in
tie manufacture of explosives.
The Daily Chronicle interprets the
movements declaration to mean that
while the government will decide to
enter into any vast project for buying
up the American cotton crop it will be
prepared to- make such purchases as
may seem advisable to support the
market and secure a reasonable level
of prices for tie American grower.
The Chronicle comments at length
on the sinking of the Arabic 1t says
that it realizes President Wilson's
task has not been made easier by the
establis. ed fact that American citi-
zens were drowned.
"T1e messages from America do
not anticipate that the United States
will make war;" the newspaper says,
"but we may be permitted to doub:
whether anything short of war will
compel any respect from Germany.
American Intervention on the side
of the allies would be a serious fac
tor, not, perhaps from tie purely mil
itary point of view, but from that Of
finance and supply. 1t right consid-
erably hasten the final end, but the
mere rupture of diplomatic relations,
unless accompanied by substantial
support to Germany's offending ma
tions and is not the kind of argument
to which it has I1itherto Shown the
least attention to defer

cealed the ditch into which the ma
