LONDON, April 2.-The attention Of
the British public IS today concen-
trated upon the question OF abstinence.
For the moment it has oTershadoWel
the war
This Is Good Friday and in London
there are no afternoon papers but it
is doubtful II the biggest headlines
5chronicling military activities could
divert the attention OF the people from
the all absorbing topic OF the posi-
4bility Of a dry country.
That some drastic measures are
contemplated is beyond question bus
the public is divided in opinion as to
whether the prohibition is to be total
or whether the consumption OF nj
coholic liquors will be permitted I'M
der sharp control s4
Several Of the London morning
papers appear today with full page
advertisements presenting petitions
with the request that supporters OF
the movem ent cut them out and send
them to Chancellor George. These
petitions read:
~ am entirely in favor OF the sus-
pension of the manufacture and sale
OF intoxicating liquors during the war
which consider Imperative for a
kuick and successful termination Of
the war shall heartily support the
government in any such measure
The petition idea is backed by mer-
chants and business men and other
employers Of labor who disclaim any
save war interest in the proposed
measure.
The sense Of personal liberty is SO
strong in England it may defeat total
prohibition. But the sense of fair play
fights on the side Of the extreme
measure for the opinion is growing
that il employees be deprived Or their
fright to drink. employ ra must take
their place in the same boat.

Tying Peru to the United States

THE commercial relations between the
i South American Republics and the United
States will be closer when there are more
contracts in force such as the President of
Peru approved yesterday. 1t provides for
the investment by American company
of 100000 900 in enterprise for irrigating
and colonzing certain Peruvian coast lands
South America needs financing. as the
United States needed it until within the pres
ent generation, Our proportion of the for
eign trade of the southern continent has
been small because Europe has been supply
ing money for developing the country and
the people paid the interest on bonds by ship
ments TO Europe, the vessels bringing back
cargoes of European goods
AS the war progresses 1t appears that the
United States will be the only nation left
in a condition to finance great enterprises In
any part OF the world for the next genera
ton, The surplus capital OF Europe is being
burnt up in battle.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1915-05-08

NTE HAVE condemned the nations of
w Europe for permitting themselves to be
sucked into the maelstrom We must not
follow their example. We must, on the con-
trary. keep our heads There has been uni
versal condemnation when mobs have turned
into lynching parties, because some foul
crime has made them lose their reason. We
want no mob policies now Rather we need
the calm wisdom of statesmen.
That Germany gave warning of her inten-
tions merely emphasizes the fact that the
disaster was deliberate and carefully planned
The criminal does not mitigate his crmi-
nality by giving notice of it. The important
fact for us is that the United states had
already notified Berlin that 1t could not
accept the German theory Of what is proper
in submarine warfare. We have not ad-
mitted the right of any nation to destroy
passenger ships, with Americans aboard.
without first rescuing them.
In the crisis the country turns with conf
dence to the President. 1t will uphold him
valiantly in whatever course he may find 1t
proper to follow. Non, loves peace more
than he, none Is more averse to war, and
none more patient amid the swirl of emo
tions. Let the people follow his example,
wait and watch with him, and depend on him
to vindicate alike the honor of the nation
and its undoubted rights.
