1t is not always popular to ask ques-

setting. 1t is unconventional. Yet 1t is an
axiom that a question Is the fingerpost to
a reform. What one man asks everybody
wants to know 1t takes some one strong
enough and brave enough to stand up in
meeting with the meddlesome, imperti-
nent query and bring down on his devoted
head the chairman's rebuke. Then the rest
find that they too are not satisfied. They
too would like to be assured. They too
are twitched by qualms, computations,
misgivinss.

QUESTION All Ships Of
Transatlantic Co.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The United
States and Argentine, it was forecast.
ed here today, will join hands in pro-
testing to, England over tle latter s
ship seizure policy.
Seizure of the American ship Hook
ing and the Argentine ship Mitre re.
Gently on the ground Of "enemy own
ership" is the basis for suei possible
joint action.
The American case is aggravated by
news from the American consul at Hal
flax that England had requisitioned
the Hooking without the formality of
prize court proceedings. This course,
amazing to the administration is bound
to provoke a strong protest from Am
erica. State department officials hold
that England S course is arbitrary and
far beyond her rights under interna-
tiOnal law.
At the same time, it is generally be-
lieved that Great Britain intends to
requisitiOn all the ships of the Ameri.
can Transatlantic company. The con.
cern has reported seizure of other ships
and frankly believes England intends
TO go the limit with all ner vessels.
The cases of other ships Of this line
will probably be mentioned in connee.
tion with the proposed protest.
England has agreed to turn over to
the prize court funds to cover the
Hooking seizure in the event the case
finally goes against her. This govern.
ment, however, is not satisfied with
such procedure and will insist the ship
60 back into prize court.

On the question of selection of a
