BREAK WITH U. S.
CALLED ILluSORY
BY JAP COMMANDER

TOXIC, Dec. Is. The American
naval expansion program was the sub
iect OF lecture delivered recently be-
fore the National Defence Association
by Commander Sosahur0 Takahashi,
a member of the naval staff board.
The newspapers quote Commander
Takahashi as expressing the opinion
that the much-talked-of American-Jap-
anese war was illusory and matter
of impossibility. but as holding that it
was a greater illusion to take en- opti-
mistic view of Americas policy OF
preparedness. The speaker thought it
dangerous to take an easy view of
American naval expansion and en-
phatically laid stress on the import
ance Of the expansion Of the Imperial
navy with a view to keep in pace
with American preparedness.
Other speakers recommended the
establishment of additional iron foun-
dries in Japan. pointing out how the
lack of them had been keenly felt By
the belligerent nations since the out
break of the war.

SAxONY TO OPERATE
PUBLIC COAL MINES


DRESDEN, Dec. 18.-To put an end
to speculation that has prevailed for
long while, the state Of Saxony is
to purchase and own its coal fields
Existing coal fields that are privately
owned will be operated as before, but
they may not be extended, nor may
other fields be purchased privately
The coal fields of Saxony have for
years presented rich speculative
field. 1t has been the practice, per
mitted by law. to buy on speculation
and in consequence the purchase of a
field has almost never indicated that
theh purchaser intended to operate
but rather that he hoped and expected
to sell at an advance. The public has
hardly benefited from the practice

URGES u. S. WAR RISK
BUREAU CONTINUATION
Maritime Association Pleads
with Secretary McAdoO.

The Maritime Association of the Port
of New York, in letter sent yesterday
to William G. McAdoo and members OF
Congress, makes strong plea for the
continuance of the United States War
Risk Bureau, which expires by limlta-
tion September .. The bureau was
established as an emergency measure
two years ago to assist the American
mercantile marine.
AT the present time the outlook for
an increased mercantile marine is most
promising" says the Maritime Associa-
tion's letter. "and we believe that every
possible assistance in the way of
favorable legislation should be offered
our shipping interests at this time.
Our board of directors believes the con-
tinuance OF the War Risk Bureau, by
facilitating the placing of risks and by
it's effect on insurance rates, will be
most helpful 70 our growing merchant
marine. and will place our vessels in a
favorable position TO compete with for
eign vessels, which are granted similar
protection b. their various govern
ments."

Added to this came the announce

For months the commission has been
able to transport only 10 per cent OF
the food necessary TO keep the needy

German officials refuse TO consent TO
the use of these ships on the theory
that the shortage should be made up

is supplied as far as possibl lie by the

reports here. The rioting was espe-

FOOD SHORTAGE
Government Puts En-
bargo on Many
Commodities.

The Hague, July 21.-Handicapped
by restrictions placed on importations
of foodstuffs by the Allies and pressed
for permission to export by producers
eager to take advantage of high prices
offered by Germany, The Netherlands
is seriously embarrassed in the mat
ter of food supplies for its citizens.
The war has nullifed ordinary laws
OF supply and demand here; one bel
ligerent has artifcially restricted i'm
ports; the other, by artificially high
prices. has caused excessive export OF
the necessaries of life; between the
two. the Dutch government is forced
into making artificial regulations 70
hold the balance between domestic pro-
ducer and consumer
While The Netherlands produces
great excess Of many foods, 1t never
theless imports large quantities OF
such products. At the same time II
exports quantities of butter, cheese
potatoes and vegetables.
The Allies have required strict en-
bargoes on all commodities which were
imported oversea. Restricted imports
of wheat and -four. causing advanced
prices. have induced many changes IN
the diet of the people, more potatoes
and rice, for example, being used.
In virtually all embargoes estao-
lished by the Dutch government there
is reserved tho right 70 make eXcep.
tions to the embargo at the Will OF
the Crown. many of the embargoes be-
ing designed not so much TO prevent
the entire export of the article as TO
keep il strictly under surveillance. The
two greatest articles OF export, butter
and cheese, fall under embargo, but
there is a proclamation every week
permitting the export OF certain
Der cent for that week. Many other
articles are controlled in the same way.
Under pressure Of high prices IN
Germany, the demand from producers
for special consents TO export mas
grown heavier and heavier The effect
Of these expectations upon domestic
prices has been very great. Now, Just
before this years new crops become
available, the supply of many lmpor-
tant articles is reduced, and there is
perpetual war between the pro

price, and the consumer, who wants
