'nonric League" Could Force
End of Hostilities. 4
Special correspondercs 10 rsn srS.

LONDON, Oct. 10.-Dr. r. J. Dillor
contributes 70 the English review a
new suggestion as to tho best manner
In which to end the hostilities in an
article entitled "A Way TO End the
War" DR.. DiIion's suggestion consists
OF the formation OF an economic league,
which would mean the adoption by tho
Allie OF two customs tariffs for all
produce and manufactured goods enter
ing their respective countries from
abroad. q lesser one TO be applied TO
imports from allied countries. or 1t might
in case be wholly dispensed with,
n another very much higher to he
levied on all merchandise coming from
other States
Tho effect would be 10 raise prices,
but. say DR.. Dillon. It Is a matter OF
dire necessity, while 'in reality the cost
OF food would not be appreciably aug
mented owing to tho large number OF
markets on which We could still draw
FOR our duty free supplies. II, say.
Ruinania were not q member OF the
league we should purchase our cereals
In Canada Australia. Russia, the United
States. Doubtless the South American
republics would also Join the concern,
which In their case would not imply
readiness to render help other than
diplomatic TO the Allies. Now this
tariff league. n established at once,
would represent 271.5o0.o00 friends. a.
against 142.76o.oo0 enemies and G5. 0oo.-
900 neutrals."
Another item In this economic pro-
gramme would include FAR reaching
restrictions on tho coasting trade and
sufficiently heavy shipping dues to XIII

carried on by the great German liners

coal too. which before the war was
exported for the value OF about $1,000
600 sterling. a higher and a lower rate
Of eSpor duty should be levied. which
would sensiblv affect the industries of
the non-members Of the league"
pr. Dillon concludes ny saying that

stated. For 1t is manifest that none

might fall from Germany's frugal board.
Solicitude for the material interests TO
which they are peculiarly susceptible
