is almost bound to go into Germany, the
more so as Germany is ready to pay
high prices for it. The trader in the
neutral country does not buy more cocoa
or anything else than he wants in order
to sit on it. AS 1t is, neutral traders
are enjoying unexampled prosperity.
Many are building up enormous fortunes
Just look at America, whom we shall
have to fear more than Germany as
commercial rival after the war! Her
exports increased by more than a bill
lion dollars during the first nine months
of the war. and those to Holland alone
by fifty per cent.
America is creating machinery which
she will be able to use against US com
merCially after the war when our manu-
factures will have great burdens to bear
1t is conceivable that many Of the trad
ers in neutral countries would like to
see the war go on indefinitely because
of the prosperity it means for them
It is always dangerous to build up vested
interests like that and I think We can
see some little signs of 1t in this
country.
Blockade Is Important.
Cocoa and other articles of absolute
need for the purpose Of the war should
be made cOntraband, and we should adopt
the policy of rationing neutrals-allow-
Ing them the average amount they re-
csived in the year before the war, witt
perhaps a small addition. 1t may be
that important trade interests woulo
suffer but every week makes a difference.
and when victory is at stake one really
cannot stop to consider the temporary
hardship inflicted on one industry or
another. II would be useless to checn
exports from this country. unless we took
steps to stop them going to the sam>
destination from other countries"
Reading between the lines Of what
Lord Sydenham actually said, 1t Is easy
to see how he regards the American
protest. While he does not speak for
the government, 1 can say on authority
that the British government regards the
economic blockade of Germany as ons
of the most important campaigns of the
war. a campaign which may do more
to decide the issue than all the battles
that are fought. The one weapon Amer.
ca can bring to bear against the allies
an embargo on munitions-is losing its
vital Importance with the progress being
made in the great factories that have
sprung up everywhere and been equipped
with American machine tools, and while
an embargo this spring or summer woufa
be serious blow to the allies, they Will
Ckeerfully accept 1t rather than abate
and jot the restrictions on neutral trade
1t is far more likely that those restrIc-
tions will be increased.

In nv view" ne said, "a more con-
vincing display of sea power is what Is
required and would be calculated to in
crease the respect of neutrals for Us and
to solve their doubts as to which side
is going to win the war"
Lord Sydenham is inclined to blame the
government for slackness in permitting
American imports to reach Norway
Sweden, Denmark and Holland, from
which countries he says they filter into
Germany in spite Of any guarantees
which may be eXacted. The curse OF
the whole contra band problem he de-
cIared, is undoubtedly the Declaration
of London l see the trail Of that dis
astrous document everywhere in the path
the government has been treading. The
foreign office, though not adhering to II
strictly, has felt unable to get around
some portions of it, and we have been
.sDoiling' neutrals to such an extent that
II is now more difficult than ever to come
to an arrangement with them"

Lord sydenham cited the fact that
thousands of tons of cocoa, which he
called the finest thing you can get for
fulfilling fatty requirements, nave Deen
going into Germany.
we should have made cotton contra
band in December, 1914, he said, and
il we had the war might now have been
over. Then it was only a few months
ago that we placed any restrictions On
linseed and vegetable oil.
"I am not sure whether the restric-
tions as to the exports of linseed are ef'
| fective even now. Nothing was done To-
ward cutting off Germany's supply until
| the order in council of March II, last
and then the prime minister said that as
far as possible everything was to he pre-
vented from entering or leaving Ger

when other people, including myself
have urged this policy we have been ac'
cused of championing piracy and
breaches of international law and want

the old buccaneers. II by judicial

I'm view Of its own record. the United
States is not in a very strong position

fine any member who violates that
agreement. But what guarantee is there
