II seems to be a well established
fact that tho world will witness a
gigantic trade war after the canons
shall have ceased to speak in Europe;
and in that event the United States
may find itself between two mill
stones England, the spokesman of
the Entente Powers which will CON
stitute one group of the trade waring
nations, has told us that we have
forfeited any post bellum right by
not joining the Entente in the war
against the Central Powers, but that
an application after the war for adj
mission to the economic alliance
may be considered" In view Of
this and Of the treatment the United
states is receiving from England i'm
nuential officials Of our Government
are said to be discussing the advis-
ability of forming an economic al
lance with the Central Powers after
the war is over and to have Congress
at its next session pass legislation
aimed directly at Great Britain and
her allies.
If the United States must do some
thing to protect itself from being
ground up in the coming great trade
war, no doubt the proper place Of
this country would be in the group
formed by the Central Powers. We
have mainly rawmaterial and the
product of our soil to sell-the very
articles which the two great manu-
featuring nations OF Central Europe
need, while on the other hand the
group constituted by the Entente
Powers has its vast colonies from
which to draw all the rawmaterial
and foodstuffs which it needs. By
joining this group we would lose the
rich markets for our rawmaterial
and foodstuns in Central Europe,
and we would not be compensated
by the group which we had joined.
And, in addition we would force a
natural economic alliance between
the Central Powers and our Latin
American neighDors to the south Of
us, because the Central Powers
would be furnishing them the only
market in the world for their ever
growing output of rawmaterlal and
foodstuffs.
But we doubt very much that the
powers i'm Washington, and the pow
ers in Wall Street, and the British
controlled press in this country can
overcome their hate OF everything
German to let the United States ally
itself with the trade waring group
where it's selfinterests lies. 1t is far
more likely that Wall Street and the
British controlled press will be mad
enough to force the United States
entirely into the arms Of England
Of the "Motherland.
