Sir Edward Grey Cites I'M
portance to Great Britain
and Allies.
ABSOLUTE BLOCKADE
OF GERMANY UNLIKELY
London Ready to Consider Any AL.
tentative to Present Policy if It
Is Effective, Is Statement.

LONDON, January o7-The opening
phrases of the speeches OF Sir Edward
Grey. foreign secretary. in the house of
commons, and of the Marquis of Lands
downe, minister without portfolio. in the
house of lords gave the impression that
the British government is not likely to re-
sort to an absolute blockade of Germany.
Sir Edward Grey said with regard to
neutrals the government was prepared to
examine any alternative policy if while
it was more pleasing to neutrals, the gov
eminent was convinced it was equally
effective with the existing method
The government, he said, was going to
reply to the last American note after con-
sulting with the French government.
Situation as to Neutrals.
The foreign secretary insisted on the
Importance of retaining the good will of
neutrals in order to facilitate obtaining
supplies of munitions and other products
for the allies. declaring that Great Britain
had no right wrongfuily to interfere with
neutrals obtaining necessary supplies for
themselves
You have no right to make neutrals
suffer-" he declared.
He contended that it would he i'm
possible to establish an effective line
of blockade and forbid all ships to go
through.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-01-27
Situation as to Neutrals.
Trying to Avoid Friction.

On the general question he said that
the government was trying to avoid
friction with the neutrals by securing
agreements. not with the governments.
but with the traders, to facilitate dis
elimination between genuine and en-
envy goods. He laid stress on the fact
that Great Britain had duty toward
the allies in this matter, although, he
added had Great Britain had no allies
doubtless she would have done pre-
cisely the same thing. Continuing. Sir
Edward said:
The task of the foreign office is
burdensome one. 1t has to do its best
to retain the good will of neutrals and
secure that the source of certain sup
plies for ourselves and our allies be not
cut off.
AT the same time it has to explain
justify and defend our interference
with neutral trade. If We are to es-
tablish line of blockade we must do
it consistently with the right of neu-
trails and we must let through bona
fide vessels for neutral ports.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-01-27
Departure From Neutrality.

IF they answer that we are not en-
titled to prevent trade with the enamy,
and if the neutral countries take that
line, it would be a departure from neu-
trality. / do not understand that they
will take that line. 1t is quite true
there were things in the last American
note which, il conceded. would have
rendered it impossible for Great Brit
ain to prevent goods, even contraband,
going wholesale to the enemy. but l
don't understand that this Is the atti-
tude of the United States or any other
government"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-01-27
Unable to Do More, He Says.

That is the intention of the support
ers of the blockade resolution. and that
is what is actually being done. We are
unable to do more than attempt to
stop all goods entering or leaving Ger
many and that is being done.
I'VE are applying the doctrine of con-
tinuous voyage" Sir Edward Grey said.
I'VE quite agree that we want common
action with our allies, and that is
what we had with France when the
order in council was issued.
I'VE are going to answer the last
United States note. but in the first in
stance in consultation with the French
government. That consultation is now
taking place. and consultations with
other allies who are concerned in the
carving out of our policy may follow.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-01-27
Ready to Adopt Method.

with regard to neutrals the govern
ment is perfectly ready to examine any
other method of carrying out our de-
clared policy of stopping enemy trade
than the one now adopted. which nigh,
be more convenient and more agree
able in practice, so long as it was eff
fective.
81 would say to neutrals that We can
not abandon our rights of interference
with enemy trade. and cannot exercise
that right without considera BILE inconven-
fence TO their trade. They must answer
the one main question:
DO they admit our right to apply to
the full the principles applied by the
American government in the civil war ac-
cording to the order of conditions. and to
do our best to prevent trade reaching the
enemy through neutrals?
IF they answer yes as they are bound
in fairness to do. then / would say let
them do their best to make it easy fol-
us to distinguish.

Tense of the policy of the foreign Of
fee respecting the war at sea"
Regarding what it terms Sir Edwards
almost passionate insistence upon the
rights of neutrals." the Morning Post
says: The foreign office throughout
the war has been trying to reconcile
the irreconcila BILE neutral advantages
and our own interests. 1t is perfectly
useless to contend that neutral advan-
tages have not greatly prevailed over
national interests

Mr.. Underwood Non-committal.

Senator Underwood Of Alabama, who
as chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee Of the House had charge of the
present tariff law when 1t was In the
making in that body, and whose name the
law now bears, said today regarding
the tariff commission:
such a tariff commission could ac-
complish nothing which cannot be accom-
plished by instruments of the government
now at hand. The bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce of the Department of
Commerce is perfectly capable of giving
us all the advice We want in regard to
tariff schedules. To provide for a new
tariff commission would mean only that
the government will expend several hun
dred thousand dollars year which it
does not now have to spend. 1t would
mean only a duplication of work.
ca mot see what good it would accom-
plish. nor can l see that it would work
any particular HARM
Senator Underwood said he was not
prepared to say whether he would OPP
pose or support a measure providing for
a tariff commission if one was brought in
by the democratic leaders. He said that
he did not think the move for a tariff
commission heralded any movement for
revision of the existing tariff law on
the part of the democrats.

Letting men specially adapted to advise
on tariff matters. l am in favor of the
plan for tariff commission. The bill
creating such commission, l expect, will
be offered first in the House, as 1t affects

There are some people who still
have their doubts as to the value OF
.chooling. We have some here n
Keokuk. They have them everywhere.
Davenport has them, for Superinten-
dent F. j. Sessions of that city, pub
fishes the following, which will be Of
interest to many in this city:
In many families there are just
now going on spirited discussions as
to the advisability of keeping some
of the older children in school, who.
fourteen years of age, have COM
pleted the sixth grade school work
and are, therefore, eligible to work
certificates under the child labor law.
Families under economic pressure
needing the financial help of their
children are tempted sorely to sacri-
flee their future in the interest of
family relief.
In other families, the children ELI
gible to work certificates are tired OF
school and long for the freedom OF
the factory or shop, as they view it,
and insist upon getting away from
school.
In still other families, there is, per
haps, parental ignorance and indif-
ference as to the value of a years
schooling.
According to figures compiled by
the United States bureau of educa-
ton, the average salary or wage for
the first eleven years of a large
group of city men who left school at
the age of IA was as follows:

hen Fruit Was Being Shipped in Here
and Then Re-biIIed as
Product Of
Iowa.

During the summer while the
campaign against bad eggs was be-
ing waged in Iowa by the state dairy
and food department, between 200 900
and 100000 dozen eggs were con-
nscated and destroyed, according to
the records of W. B. Barney, COM
missioner. AS the result of the
Watchfulness of the inspectors, as
many more dozen eggs were kept
from being thrown on the market.
We have had excellent results
from the egg campaign said Mr..
Barney. "As an example of what
has been accomplished, / will cite
the experience of a Knoxville mer-
chant. When we began war on rot
ten eggs, the Knoxville merchant de-
clared we would ruin the merchants.
Owing to the large number of bad
eggs that merchant got in each case
OF eggs. he was paying about 5 cents
dozen for eggs.
1--WE went after the producers and
required them to candle the eggs
sold, so that grocers got good eggs
when they bought by the case. That
Knoxville merchant now is paying IS
cents dozen for eggs and he is
getting eggs which he can sell to
the consumer. Formerly he had to
throw away from half to threequar-
tiers of each case.
I'VE found that the improvement
in Iowa eggs resulted in commission
houses of Chicago and other large
cities offering from $3.50 to 81 a
case more for Iowa eggs than they
paid for eggs from states surround
ing Iowa. This led to the growth of
a practice of shipping Missouri eggs
into Iowa and rebilling them to Chi
cago as Iowa eggs. We put inspec-
tors on the track, and by co-opera-
ton with the federal officials, we have
broken up the system. Hereafter Mis-
souri, eggs will go to outside points
as Missouri eggs, and not as Iowa
product.
THE summer of 1916 was especial
ly difficult with regard to keeping
eggs, owing to the heat. 1t was there
fore necessary for our inspectors to
be unusually active in the egg cam
paign."
