Undue commotion seems to have
been raised over the recent action OF
congress in placing in the hands OF
the president several persuasive
means Of insuring the rights OF the
commerce Of the United States.
The fear OF a commercial war, and
of reprjsals on the part of belligerent
countries, can be diSmlsserd. All or
them recognize that the patience OIL
the United States had reached
limit:
AS regards the entente allies the
question is not whether they have any
Interference with the mails and their
restrictions under which neutraIs may

the attitude Of the allies is that their
| fight for existence juStifies them IN
whatever measures they make take
TO prevent commerce with the enemy
countries. In other words, national
necessity is superior to international
law and the rights OF neutrals.
While the United States in its OIL
ficial communication has distinctly re-
fused to recognize such doctrine
| its acquiescence in unfriendly acts IN
uany cases perhaps has Justified the
warning nations in believing that ener'
getic protests would be all the ACTON
taken by the United States. Congress
in placing a weapon in the hands OF
the president, has rudely shattered
| this view.
The state department, always nope
| full of what diplomacy may accom-
plish, did not ask for all the powers
that have been given the presldent,
But congress, without losing talh III

The question involved in the dis
elimination against American tobac-
CO is somewhat similar to that In the
blacklist. 1t may no the the purpose
OF the British or the French govern
/ ment TO limit the market so that they
can buy his tobacco at their own price,
but when this is the outcome, what
ever administration is in authority at
Washington must take notice of the
effect regardless of the disintersted
motives Of the belligerents.
France maintains a government mo-
nopoly of tobacco, and the French gov
eminent, while it may not deliberately
seek means for compelling the tobac-
co growers of Virginia and Kentucky
to sell their product AT its own price,
nevertheless is not likely to worry
over the low prices. The Virginia
| and Kentucky tobacco growers, not
understanding diplomatic euphemisms,
! quite naturally expect their govern
ment TO do something to protect them
! from this artificial cheanening OF their
product.
So far as the powers with which the
| President is clothed are limited 10 the

prehension need be felt over their APP

reassuring to learn that Europe's chan

developments.
Whether the diplomatic representa-
| tiyes conf1ne themselves 10 the custom
airy inquiries, or whether they make
! formal protest, is not very important.
| What is important is that they shall
clearly understand that the tolerance
| OF the United States In the interfer-
| ence with its commerce has reached
a limit. and that a boycott Of belliger-
ents against neutral commerce is not
something that will be borne with in
definitely.
The President has the means OF per-
suading them Of the unwisdom of their
| course.
