 The United States does not consider cotton a contraband of war Last l fall the United States was informed Great Britain did not intend to place cotton on the absolute contrabano list, and officials therefore have be- come deeply interested in the receDi statement in England by Lord Crewe that it might become necessary to place it on that list.

All the London newspapers devote much space to the cotton issue.
 An editorial in the Daily Mall says: If We limit the importation of cot ton by neutral countries to the actua needs of their domestic consumption we should be doing all that is neces- sary to reconcile their rights with our belligerent interests. That is the frs, step to be taken.
 The second step is to declare cotton contraband. This will at once dis courage American exports by impos- ing heavy penalties on shippers, anC would regularize our position in the eyes of the United States Government Our Order in Council is regarded ir Washington as an unwarrantable eX- pansion of maritime law. It brings us no advantages we should not ob- tain by declaring cotton -eontrabano and enforcing the doctrine of continu- ous voyage, which American courts developed during the Civil war.
 "The third step is to compensate American cotton growers for their inevitable losses. The new crop is immediate decision is necessary.
 "Win the Government at last abandon the attitude which has be- wildered this country and puzzled our allies. Will it take hold of the problem as men of affairs, not as lawyers and pedants?"
 The Morning Post says:
 We do not conceal the fact that injury would be caused the United States by our refusal to permit cottor to enter Germany through neutra countries, but in justice can the United States hold us to blame? The responsibility must be placed on Ger many. She was the aggressor in this way She had the power to prevent the war, but refused to do so.
 Greatly as We deplore the loss the United States may suffer, we simply ask it to put itself in our place.

The action of ,,reat Britain in hold ing up shipments of German made goods destined to the United States
 ,ne neutral territory of Holland is another example of the self assumed right of that nation to trample upon the privileges of any one regardless of the question of right or wrong as long as such action shall suit the immediate .eed. The goods referred to are, be il remembered, American goods; goods bought and paid for by citizens of the
 States. True they are made in Germany but this does not in the least diminish the fact that they are at the resent time American owned. Tn, question of who produced them is one that does not affect the situation in the least, as the matter of present title to ownership is alone. involved. Yet be- cause of the fact that the goods were produced in a country with whom Bri-
 at war she arrogates to herself the privilege of seizing and condemning them regardless of who may be the owners at the time of seizure.
 No question of legality of right or justice is allowed to stand in the way of such action and the matter of owner ship is one that is utterly negligible. The goods may belong to a friendly
 ton and they may be in the posses sion of neutral power at the time of seizure These matters do not in the least restrain Britain, however Let but the shipments come within the reach of her rapacious arm and they are talk en into British ports and then and there condemned as contraband of war For why? Nobody knows except Bri- tain. This is her pronouncement and because of her supposed power it is accepted by the world with little pro- test. Might justifies anything, remem- Der.

 The United States will maintain any arrest of cargo of cotton bound to a neutral port would be illegal If Great Britain had not absolute proof the cargo was to be trans shipped for the benefit of the German mill itary.

But, in spite of the fact that Germany has no part or interest in them they are not allowed 10 pass the forbidding line ot British guns guarding the German shores. Most of the goods were pur- chased a considerable time before the British announcement of intention tc seize all German shipments and were therefore American goods at the time the council order was made. For this reason Britain agreed, on the represen- tations of the United States, to allow tEe eonsignments to pass with safe conduct.
