DEFENDS DEPORT4TIONS
German Government Says Transporta-

German Government Says Transporta-
tion to Germany Benefits 3eIqians.
The German government has issued
n statement in explanation and justi-
fcation of the transfer of Belgian Ia
borers to Germany.
Before compulsory transport, it is
stated, every idle person is offered the
opportunity voluntarily to accept pro-
fitable work on contract, and compul'
sion Is resorted to only where the la
borer stubbcrnly refuses.
Workmen coming to Germany are
placed on the same footing as Ger
mans are earning higher wages than
they ever received in Belgium. Steps
have been taken to send part of their
earnings to their families in Belgium.
The laborers also are permitted to
make regular visits to their homes and
families are allowed to accompany
them to Germany if that IS des red.
Provision also is made for religious
services in their own language.
In view of the circumstances, the
statement says, the transportation O.
workmen to Germany means coasid
cradle betterment in their position. In
as much as hundreds of thousands are
being ruined in Belgium, while aged
men. women and even children {
wearing themselves out with wo~li
Germany, the transportation Of B'l
gians, the statement asse"ts, is n
only right but a social duty OF the
German government.

The MARINA WAS
SUNK ILLEGALLY
The President May Send New
Note to Berlin.
WANTS AN UNDERSTANDING
Aroused by This Phase of U-Boat
Warfare, Washington May Ask a
Showdown.

A new note to Germany on the gen,
eral submarine situation appears to he
among the possibilities which may
come out of the latest activities of
the undersea boats.
If decided upon, such note would
be designed to clear up apparent d l.
ferences of Interpretation in Washing,
ton and Berlin, as to what Germany's
pledges in the Sussex covered, espoci-
ally as to armed ships.
Secretary of State Lansing said no
final course OF action had been agreed
upon by President Wilson and him,
self.
Although the state department has
been going on the principle of decid'
ing each case separately on its merits,
it was said that the number Of cases
had reached such proportions that
some general action would be justi'
fed, although it was made clear that
nothing had been determined upon.
The developments in the situation
were:
The United States asked Great Brit
ain for information to determine the
status of the Peninsular and Oriental
line steamship Arabia, which a Ger
man submarine commander took for
an armed transport and torpedoed in
the Mediterranean.
Official information to the state dc
partment estab 'ishe1 that the Brit S
steamship Marina, torpedoed with q
loss of six Americans, was in no sense
a transport, and was entitled to the
immunities of peaceful merch nj.
man.
In both cases, Germany has express
ed willingness to offer amends if her
pledges were broken.
It was reiterated that the Urited
States stands squarely on the position
1t took in the Sussex case. This, COM
bined with Germany's statement TIA
she. too, holds to the pledges she
gave in that case, leads officials to say
there seems to be difference in in
depreciation.
A new note would be designed to
make plain beyond question that the
United States expects that no mer'
chant ship, under international law,
shall be destroyed without warning, or
without having crews and passengers
removed to places of safety.
Affidavits on the sinking without
warning of the italian line steamship
Palermo, on which state department
records show there were twenty-three
Americans, are being collected as
rapidly as possible. AS yet, there are
no indications that any American lives
were lost from information at hand.
the case seems to parallel closely the
Arabia and the Marina.

FOOD EMBARGO
Up TO CONGRESS-
-Four Bills Aimed at High Cost
Of Living introduced.

Two of the Measures Deal With Stor-
age and Lower Parcel Post Rates
on Food.

age and Lower Parcel Post Rates
on Food.
-Four bills resigned to touch the
higXh cost of fool were introduced in
congress by Representative Fitzgerald
Democrat, cf New York.
Two propose a food embargo. One
would regulate transportation of cold
storage foods and another would regu.
late the admission of farm products
and manufactured foodstuffs to the
parcel post and reduce the rates on
food.
The enactment of either of the
bills" said Representative Fitzgerald,
will bring immediate relief to the
country. The people want action;
they are heartily tired of talk and in
vestigations." A mass of petitions
was filed in favor of the legislation.
One embargo resolution would pro-
hibit expectation of any farm product
or manufactured foodstuffs for cne
year. The other would empower the
president to suspend expectations
whenever prices became extortionate
and public interests require. Both
bills would provide for shipment of
food to Americans abroad or to peo.
Piles made destitute by the war, pesti-
lence or other extraordinary events.
Interstate transportation OF cold
storage goods, unless the date OF stor-
age is distinctly marked, would be pro-
hibited, together with an arbitrary pro-
hibition of interstate transportation OF
any product in cold storage more than
ten months, except butter, which
might be held longer.
An immediate embargo on the ex'
portation of wheat and it's products
could be laid by the president by the
terms of a resolution introduced by
Representative Farr, of Philadelphia.
This would call for an investigation
Of the amount of wheat in the United
States last July and estimate of the
amount to be exported during the re-
mainder of the fiscal year, if the pro.
posed expectation would lessen the
average per capita amount consumed
during the past ten years, the pres1'
dent would be empowered to proclaim
an embargo against expectation that
would lessen this average annual per
capita.
Other food bills included a joint
resolution by Representative Lindberg,
Republican, of Minnesota, proposing
a special congressional committee to
consider all food embargo measures
and to report by February 20. Repre-
sentative Emerson, Republican, Ohio
introduced resolution for report by
secretary of agriculture on the advisa'
bility of wheat embargo and legisla'
ton on shipment of foodstuffs.

u, S. PROTESTS
SELLING BELCIANS
State Department Silent on How
Germany Received Note.
CONTENTS is MADE PUBLIC
The Note Declares Deportatlons TOR
Forsied Labor is Illegal and Against
All Human Principles.

A note to Germany protesting
against the deportation OF Bel
gians, for forced labor, as c-n
srary to all precedents and mum II
PRINCIPLES of international pract.c2
was made public by the state depa-
ment.
Tae note was cabled to Mr.. Gray
the American charge d'affaires at Ber'
lin, on November 29, the day Amoas'
sador Gerard discussed the subJcct
with President Wilson, with lnSt.u uc'
tions that he read it to the German
chancellor personally.
in making it public the state depart
ment announced that the interview
had taken place, but said nothing aDSut
results.
The text of the protest, as read TO
the chancellor, was given out by the
state department as follows:
"The government of the United
States has learned with the greatest
concern and regret of the policy OF
the German government to deport
from Belgium a portion of the c-V!i
population for the purpose OF forcing
them to labor in Germany and IS con-
strained to protest in friendly spl'lt'
but most so,emnly, against this actl n,
which is in contravention of all prece'
dent and of those humane principles
Of international practice which have
long been accepted and followed by
civilized nations in their treatment
of non-combatants in conquered terri
tory.
"Furthermsre the government of the
United States is convinced that the
effect of this policy, if pursued, will in
all probability be fatal to the Belgian
relief work so humanely planned sn1
so successfully carried out, a result
which would be generally deplored and
which, it is assumed, would seriously
embarrass the German government"
The protest is unsigned, but it is
understood it was written by President
Wilson.
