MAIL CENSORSHIP.
[sioux City Journal

SIOUX lily JOuIHdl.l
Insofar as the American protest
against the existing mall censorship
applies to the parcel post, II is I'M
likely to be effective. Prevention OF
trade with the central empires by
means OF parcel post Is only
logical extension Of the policy Of pre-
venting trade by freight or express.
The allies are now establishing an air
tight blockade which will bar the Teu-
tons from all transatlantic communi-
cation. The effort will be not only
to break up trade in contraband and
provisional contraband. but to isolate
Germany and Austria 20 that moth
ing can go into or come out Of those
countries except shipments by way OF
Turkey and Bulgaria. Great Britain's
explanation that the American protest
had been referred to her allies for dis
cussion, probably forecasts a unani-
nous decision TO diregard the Ameri-
can demands
American insistence on the right 70
immunity from seizure for parcel post
shipments to neutral ports is on .
parity with American inslstence on the
right TO unrestricted trade Of all
kinds with neutral ports. The allies
have asserted and exercised the right
to divert all American shipments to
neutral ports when there was pre-
sumption OF eventual TeutoRic destina-
ton. The parcel post provides medi-
UNI by which an closes OF merchan-
dine, ssn.rahand included. may be
shipped TO Germany from this
country, provided only that they be
shipped in small lots. Likewise. all
kinds OF goods could be shipped In
small quantities from Germany to this
country while the parcel post re-
NAMED free from interference It is an
open secret that large trade in chem
icals and other commodities has been
carried on in this way Only recently
II was disclosed that considerable guam
titles Of rubber were reaching Ger
many thru this channel.
It Is distinctly to the interest OF the
allies to keep the little door az well
as the big door shut. So long AZ this IL
true they may be expected to use their
sea power to that end

INVESTIGATE THE PETITION.

- u
The United States senate has re-
ceived petition from a million women
requesting the United States govern
ment to discontinue the shipment OF
war supplies to Europe.
The petition has been in preparation
for long time. 1t bears the names OF
many foreign-born citizens who are
looking at the war from the European
standpoint. ~
The petition is not what It seems TO
be. The petition means that the
United States has not been neutral.
The petition means that the Germans
have not been able to buy war Imuui-
toiDs In the United States. Therefore.
nobody else should be permitted TO
buy. g
1t would be well enough for the sen
ate to appoint committee to ind out
who circulated the petition; who paid
for the circulation OF the same; and
any other pertinent facts.
The senate took the petition very So

The Turks can continue to buy war
materials from the Krupps in Germany
and IL they do not have the ready
money Germany win let them have the
materials anyway. The specially OF
the Turks in this war has been killing
armenian christians, for nothing else
than that they are christians and
Aryans But Senator Kenyon and some
others would deny the right of the
British, who are trying TO make the
Turks behave. from procuring war
materials. Is that the gentle hearted
senator's conception Of christian con-
duct? How would it do. az the quid

ing munitions to the British, IL the
Germans would quit selling II to the
Turks? Or to quit selling to any one,
il the Germans Will quit making ma

and the British at their various plants?
II we could come to An all around
agreement like this We would surely
stop the war. But II will not be
stopped by taking the munitions, or
even a small part Of them from one set
of belligerents-unless We might call
the humiliation OF one side by the
other proper stoppage Of the war.
