with permanent committees in tho
United States.
Frank a. Nanderlip of the National
City Bank of New York summarized
the view of the United States repre-
Sentatives tonight in this statement:
The Pan-American conference
was a happy conception. 1t has
turned out better than its very best
friends could have anticipated. The
results promise to be really SUBJ
The conference has been charac-
te"t2ed by practical business sense.
The results promise to be extremely
helpful in giving impetus to the
movement for close credit relations
and in removing obstacles that stand
in the way.
There was point on which every
member in attendance agreed, and
ihe greatest obstacle in the way of
his trade development is the lack
OF transportation, but there was
unanimous agreement that - must be
met before real results are at

NO DEFINITE OUTLINE.

The minister was unwilling to give
a more definite outline to, or to COM
ment on the suggestion that an ar
rangement might be reached on a
basis of an inspection and certifica-
tion by the American government Of
passenger ships not carrying war
cargoes, pointing out that he did not
feel entitled to anticipate as the
other departments of the government
must be heard before suggestions
could be definitely taken up or dis
cussed
QUESTION OF PRINCIPLE.
The question of foodstuffs and
raw materials" DR.. Won Jagow said,
lis not a question OF necessity for
Germany, but one of principle. Ger
many has shown, think, that it can
not be starved out by Great Britain's s
embargo on foodstuffs We may be
a little short OF some particular food
product, but we have enough to live
on and keep up the struggle
The same is true of raw mater
ials, with which according to the
London declaration belligerents have
no right to interfere when they are
not specifically destined to the armed
able to get along even if the imports
Of such materials are cut off. Ger
many, however, objects to the cool
assuption of the British cabinet thar
when 1t is unable to defeat the Ger
man armies legitimately on the bat
tlefeld, it is entitled to try to force
the nation to its knees by economic
pressure, disregarding all accepted
precepts and regulations of war
THE analogy of the besieged for
tress does not apply to Germany The
resident who settles in fortress does
so cognizapt of the risk and aware
that he can leave before the siege be-
gins; but there is no precedent for
the siege OF the civilian population
OF whole nation in it's own land
with no possibility OF escape. Ger
many VIII night such an unjustified
method of war with all the means at
her disposal"
REGARDING NEBRASKAN.
DR.. Won Jagow said he had abso-
lutely no information regarding the
American steamer Nebhaskan, which
was damaged by an explosion in the
Irish sea last week, and in the abb
sence of any definite news as to
whether the ship was torpedoed or
struck a mine, he declined to express
any opinion as to the effect of the
incident on the pending negotiations.
The Nebraskan, in any event DR..
Won Jagow said, was not torpedoed
with design by a German submarine.
