OUR EXPECTATION OF ARMS

There is a catchy reasonabcness about the German American argu-
ment that our neutrality is unreal unless we forbid the export OF arms.
Germany having lost command OF the sea American traffic in war sup
pucs helps the Allies. III the position were reversed, our neutrality
would still be inpugncd. but no by the German Americans, and we
should be written down as the partner OF "Teutonic' miitarism. Parti-
sans aside, there Is W believe, a growing body of pacihst opinion. repre-
sented by men OF the ability and character OF Dir. Edward Devine. which
insists that American manufacturers are "capitahzing carnage making
profits mt OF murder, and that in decency and in humanity this nation
ought to have nothing to do with the European crime.
But what would be the consequences of SC pure a stand: 1t would
stop the war We are told, but where? With Germany in possession Of
Belgium and the richest part of France. And the lesson to England and
France: 1t would be that m1itansm pays, that God is on the side of the
big, ready batalions. that a nation which dreams plans and organizes war
can impose its will on the less military nations.
Such an embargo would be regarded by the Allies as the most des-
peate teachery as n arbitrary reversal of all international law, not N

SHIP BILL AND ITS FOES

Owing to the action OF several Democratic senator's breaking faith
with members OF the party and repudmting caucus pledges the shipping
bill II WHICH the president bases his hopes to relieve the strain o n At
less the support of some OF the progressive Republicans al be gained
for the bill, it has little chance.
In view OF the widespread interest aroused in this purely emergency
measure, says the Sacramento Union, it might be worth while to inquire
into the reasons for the beligerent opposition o it of some of the Re
publican leaders.
A close study of the speeches of the chief speakers on the Repub1t
can side, Senator Root former secretary of state and one of the ableSt
lawyers OF the American oar, and Senator Lodge, one of the wiest poll
ticians in the senate. taken in connection with the arguments Of the Re
publican press of the country, seems to show that the opposition to the
measure has two ostensble grounds. ..'
Root aimed his batteries at the bill on the ground that the president
and his advisers contemplate the purchase OF the German steamers ren-
dered useless by the var. He declared that such action would be in vo-
laton of the laws of nations and would be certain to involve us in end
less difficulty with France and Great Britain.
The other ground of the attack m the ship bill is that the govern
ment has no right to compete with private capital in the shipping bust
ness The Measure is denouncedtas socm1shc.
1t is noticed that the lei who re opposing the bill in the senate
and the portion OF the press which is fighting it are those formerly
arrayed on the side OF the ship subsidy. They see in the proposed ship
bill the death OF their pet scheme for the rehabilitation of the private
shipping companies at the expenses of the people.

PLANT AND DIG POTATOES

Foreseeing a possible potato famine this year in California, official.
OF the various growers associations throughout California have launched
a campaign to encourage a big increase in the acreage devoted to culu-
walton of tubers. Nevada is va capable OF producing potatoes as Cali
torna and with the prospect OF a big demand the coming year a big
acreage could be set out with an assuranc Of success. Speaking IN the
subject, President Wagner of the James r. II. Wagner company of Los
Angeles, which owns the Nuevo rancho, recently said: #
Potatoes are certain to be a profitable crop this year, and W e are
urging the ranchers on our property to adopt this crop for interculure.
The normal consumption of potatoes in Los Angeles averages f:
teen carloads a day and this will be increased tremendously when the big

1t was Mr.. Roosevelts original intention that the Nobel fund should

that purpose. and the Roosevelt endowment is unnecessary. The main

 Charles s. CIayne, the United States district attorney, has reported to Attorney General Gregory, that the brokers, in declining to submit their books, contended that they are under express obligation not to divuIge the transactions of customers. The brokers asserted, it was said, that the same immunity from disclosure ap- plies to their relations to their cus- toners as to the relations between at torney and client.
 The district attorney sought access to the books of the brokers to as certain whether the price of wheat was due to the actual demand for grain abroad or to speculation In addition, he is seeking to discover whether there is any conspiracy of the big operators to corner the wheat market.

1Assoclated Pressl

LONDON While the prize court
has dealt with the cases of many
American ships which have been
seized by the British navy, large
number still are detained in British
ports. Many annoyances and much
expense have resulted to the owners
of the ships from the crown proce-
dure incidental to their detention.
The port authorities have demanded
considerable sums for pilot fees, and
in one case a thousand dollars for
dock fees
The American skipper would pro-
test that he should not pay for
pilot he had not wanted, who had
detained him and brought him into
port against the shippers protests;
that he should not pay for keeping
his ship at the dock when he was
not keeping her there. and did not
want to stay there But the answer
is invariable that pilot fees and dock
ing fees must be paid or serious for
FIXTURES result, and rather than in
cur more serious obligations, these
pilot, dock and other charges are
paid. although they are for detention
which the ship has not sought.
About the only American skipper
who has escaped these charges is
one who had the good fortune to be
deaf. When the port officials threat
ened him with dire consequences IL
he did not pay for the pilot who de-
tanned him and brought him into port,
he shook his head and did not hear.
1T was the same with the dock fees
he did not hear them. And this skip
