THE BLOCKADE

The Star hasn't any idea what
President Wilson will do about the
blockade. 1t doesn't see what ne can
do without making matters worse.
From the standpoint of exact and
equal justice, the merchant ships OF
ali neutral nations have as much rlgnt
to eo with cargoes to the ports of
Germany and Austria as they nave
"a ro TO those of Great Britain
France and Russia. But there is no
iustice In this world except that
which is backed up by force. We have
an immense amount of force. but we
are not in shape to use it. II we
could and did use it, it would only
add to the sum total of the vast SUI
ferinR that this war has brought upon
the world.
The idea of starving a nation, or
two nations, into submission, is a ter
rible thing, but it is as legitimate
measure of war as the use of the rifle
and cannon. It is doing no more TO
Germany and Austria than they have
done to Belgium and Poland, and no
more than they would do to Britain.
There Is nothing America can do,
except declare war, that would alter
the situation very much. We have
no cause for declaring war on Ger
many. and it is doubtful that any
cause will be given. There have been
not n few indications in the last two
or three weeks that Germany realizes
that IL she is defeated, America will
be the only nation in the world to
whom she can turn for help.
That we should declare war against
the allies is inconceivable. They have
caused US inconvenience, but incon
venience weighs little in the balanc'
against war. They are doing only
what we would do were we in theil
place.
To declare an embargo would be un
reasonable. Such an act would great
" distress Great Britain, and incon
venience France and Russia. 1t woul'
also be cutting off our noses to spit
our own faces. We are selling thes
countries goods by the hundred mill
ions. We would throw away all be
cause we cannot obtain part.
The Star hopes President Wilso

Cruz, fiag-salute stunts. In domesti
matters, he 10 one Of the best pres
dents the country ever had. In foreig
affairs, he has so far succeeded onl
In keeping the world guessing whs
he will do.
In spite of Germany's submarin
blockade, and the allies food blocl
ade, the Star does not expect the wa
TO end soon. Since Feb. Is, the Gel
mans have sunk about twenty allie
ships, most of them small and slo,
vessels. In the meantime, thousan
ships have made port safely, an
probably more ships have been launch
ed from French and British shipyarc
than have been destroyed. The allie
merchant marine contains over 1000
vessels, and even If Germany sinh
twenty-five week there will
enough left to supply the allied land
On the other hand, we do not b.
lieve the Germans are on the brir
Of starvation. They have probab

the future, but it is more than like
they are supplied for several montl
yet, and they will certainly keep |
the fight as long as they have Il
slightest chance to win or make go,
terms.

TAXES
ARE OPPOSED
o'Brienites in Parliament Are
Against Lloyd. Georges Duty
on Spirits and Wines.

London, April pa resolution in
troduced by David Lloyd George doub-
ling the duty on spirits and quadrupt-
ing duties on wines and instituting a
graduated tax on beer to encourage
the use of lighter beers, was strongly
opposed, and it is generally believed
new taxes must be moderated before
parliament will accept them. The
O'Brienites protest against additional
taxation on Irish whiskies and beers,
brought about the first division in the
house since. the outbreaking of the
war, by taking the unusual course OF
voting against the provisional resolu-
tions. A resolution relating to spirits
passed SO to 5, the minority composed
Of OBrienites. The laborites promis-,
ed to reply to the chancellor's charg-
es that the minority workmen, lured
away by drink, were not putting their
best into the work Of producing ma
terial which was SO badly needed at
the front Besides the Irish opposi-
ton to spirit duties, many members
oppose new wine taxes on the ground
that they will strike at France, Aus
tralia and South Africa.

that manufacture OF shrapnel was en-
