But as the leading neutral in the world, the United

centuries of struggle should not be abridged merely be-
cause Of the invention Of a new offensive weapon We
were then championing the rights of all neutras and
hereafter Even Germany, we have often remarked,
may at some future time have reason to thank the United
States for the firm stand took against the violation Of
neutral rights under plea Of eXpedency necessity.
The English press argues that the building of railroads
has rendered the old law of blockade obsolete just as Ger

the supplementary note cOntraband Great Britain will
be reminded that is selling the neutras the same things
it has prevented American vessels from delivering at
neutral ports and without any more guarantee to ut

This will explain the phenomenal
growth of our urban population with
the resulting problem of unemployment
and the absence of sufficient purchas
ing power to maintain any consider
able market for the products of our

forces. After this has been completed
