German Flag
Disappears From Seas.

The outbreak or the present Wdr IN
Europe caused the almost immediate
disappearance of the German flag from
The seven seas. At the same time the
hottlinc up of Germany largely shut off
it's commerce, even by means of neutral
vessels.
Thus there was suddenly presented to
Great Britain an opportunity to regain
for herself a large part of the carrying
,rade which it had lost to Germany. and
also to made inroads upon the COM
merce that Germany loses through the
war.
The United States. as the chief neu-
tral nation and the principal producer
now the chief competitor of Great Brit
ain not only for the commerce Germany
has been forced to abandon but also for
that which Great Britain loses by not
being able to maintain Its industries
on the peace basis.
This situation was recognized at once
upon the outbreak of the war by the
American Government and business
men. 1t was apparent that peculiar
opportunity was opened to this country
for the development of its commerce.
At the same time the situation pre-
Sented an oplNrtunity for the recovery
Of carrying trade and the re-establish-
ment of merchant marine.
The American flag had disappeared
from the carrying trade Of the world be-
cause OF American legislation. Under

Warns America Against
"Bluffing" Too Much

"Weve all been telling ourselves we

Declares Vessels
May Be Transferred.

On August 7, while the measure was
still pending in Congress. and before
any definite action had been taken or
the Government committed to a definite
line of procedure. Cone Johnson. the So
licitor of the State Department, rem
dered an opinion upon the transfer of
merchant ships of q belligerent to Il
neutral after the outbreak OF war The
first conclusion stated wes:
Merchant ships Of a belligerent may
be transferred to neutral after the
outbreak of hostilities.''
His second conclusion was that iii
the sale Of the ship is made In good
faith. without defeasance or reservation
OF title or interest In the vendor. with.
tacit. that the vessel is to be retrans-
ferred after hostilities. and without the
indicia or badges Of a collusive or COZ
orable transaction" then the transac.
ton was valid.
According to the solicitors opinion tn.
transfer must be allowable under snu
in conformity to the municipal regula.

tance. for it was made prior to the en-.
actment of the measure by Congress
and that measure was passed by Con.
sress with the knowledge Of this opinion
by the solicitor and in conformity there.
with; Congress thus specifically affirm.
ed the right.
Mr.. Johnson also declared that the
declaration of the naval conference at
London in 1909 that transfers of enemy
vessels to neutrals during war will not
be valid unless it is shown that they
We're not made to evade the conse-
uuences to which they would be subject
as enemy vessels relates only to the
good faith of the transfer and not to
the ulterior motive Of the parties to
reap the natural advantages to flow
from the operation Of the vessel under
the flag of country not at war"
In 1856. William l.. Marcy. then Sec
retary of State. in sending instructions
to our minister to France on this SUBJ
ject, said:
The principle that a neutral has q
perfect right to purchase the merchant
vessels of a belligerent has been main
tsined by England. by Russia. and by
the United States: and " is inconsiste mt
with these historical facts to sav that
the contrary doctrine avowed by France
has had the sanction of the chief mari
time nations or that it forms part of
the whole doctrine of maritime law"
Mr.. Johnson says in his opinion that
the position thus stated by Secretary
Marcy lis undoubtedly in harmony with
the general English rule"
In the case Of Benito Estenger Jl76 U
s.. 56sl, Chief Justice Fuller said
In England and the United States
the right to purchase vessels Is in prn.
ciple admitted. they being in themselves
legitimate objects of trade as fully az
any other kind OF merchandise"
The Washington times., 1915-02-28
Would Even Force
War. Is Claim.

1t is even asserted that Great Britain
is willing to force matters to the point
of actual war with the United States,
relying upon it's treaty of alliance with
Japan for assistance in case affairs
should come to that emergency.
Those who hold this view point out
that Japan has long had series or
serious grievances against the United
States. and that. if it cherishes the be-
lief that some dav it must fight us for
best time for it to undertake the con-
test. providing Great Britain is wiling
not TO oppose such action.
They point out that as long as the
United states navy Is superior to that
of japan the Japanese could not hope
to make successful landing upon the
western coast of the American conti-
nent. but that. operating In conjunction
with the British, the Japanese would
not only have naval superiority, but
they would enjoy the facilities of pre-
pared landing place on the Canadian
Pacific coast. and could thus help Great
Britain to hold Canada against the
American invasion.
Which is the correct theory? Or are
both wrong. and is there a third cXpla-
nation of the British course, which Is
the true one?
If there is, il does not now appear
but enough has already become clear to
show the people Of this country thai We
arc facing situation filled with men
acc, and that even when we fancy our
, selves most secure we are liable to be
forced into a dreadful and disa rous
war.

MENACING SITUATION ARISES AGAIN.

Congress and signed by the President,
which repealed that provision and au-
thorized the Chief Executive to suspend
$50 far and for such length of time as
he may deem desirable the provisions
Of law prescribing that all watch Off
GERS of vessels Of the United States
registered for foreign trade shall be
citizens Of the United States when
ever In his Judgment ''the needs Of
foreign commerce may require such
suspension.
1t also authorized the President to
suspend the provisions Of law requiring
survey, inspection, and measurement
by officers Of the United States prior to
American registry Of foreign-built ves-
sells.
Under this authority the President is
sued his proclamation suspending these
eign vessels came under our registry
under this law. and facilities for the
change of flag were so extended that in
some cases the Stars and Stripes have
been raised over forcign-built vessels in
foreign ports.
Congress had this bill under consider
alton for eight or ten days. The widest
publicity attached to the proceedings.
There was widespread discussion of the
measure. Full information concerning
its progress through Congress was ca
bled to London and the British news
papers were well aware what was go
ing on.
1t Is not conceivable that the British
embassy at Washington failed to inform
its government regarding the measure
and the motives actuatinK Congress and
the Administration in securing its pas
sage.
The enactment of this measure was
not only reaffirmation of the position
, We had always maintained regarding the
right of neutral to purchase vessels
from belligcrents during a state Of war
but it was full and ample notice to the
world that We proposed to maintain thai
position in the present war.
This action was taken deliberately by
Congress and the Administrati tion. and
the care and thought given to the sub.
ject prior to taking action were such as
effectually to commit the Government ia

Holds Ships May
Be Purchased.

The United States has maintained the
right Of a neutral to purchase the ships
OF belligerent in time Of war and to
operate them in proper neutral COM
merce, always provided that such pur-
chase Is in good faith. The transfer
must be genuine and complete. 1t can
not be part of a secret bargain by when
the belligerent seller retains control or
interest in the vessel. or by which own
ership Of it Is to revert to the seller
at the close of the war.

right to buy the ship Of belligerent ctti-

the Americans hal a great merchant
marine. They coHld build better and
faster vessels than any other people
and were better sailors. In the wor!d
competition for the ocean carrying trade
tho Americans excelled all others. ana
their merchant marine was the best
Conditions, however. changed with the
introduction Of iron steamships. Then
England came to the front as tne me
iron was cheaper than Americas. and
its labor cost less. Changes In the laws
Governing the employment and the con-
dition of life Of seamen also operated
in favor of the British merchant marine;
lis seamen were compelled to live and
work under less favorable conditions

70 men. ~ ,,,,
The result was that British shlps
rould be built and operated more
cheaply than American ships. British
ships gradually drove American ves-
sells out of the ocean carrying trade.
The development of the German mer-
chant marine has had the effect. so far
as we are concerned. of accentuating
the disappearance of our merchant ma
rine from the seas. 1t has not material
