FATS AND OILS MAY
BECOME CONTRABAND
Great Britain Expected to Place
Products on Absolute List
With Cotton.

LONDON, Jan. B-Cby mail, Great
Britain is expected soon TO put fats
and oils on the list of absolute contra
band. just as It did with cotton. Scien-
lists have been demanding that this be
done for some time. saying II Is the ig-
torrance of government officials concern
Ing the use of fats and ellis In the
manufacture of high explosives which
has left this raw material supply oreh
to Germany this long.
Prof. E. p. Poulton. of oxford. calls
1t the national neglect of science.
saying In part: 1T is daI Igerous that
country which depends on science for
its existence and prosperity should be
ruled by politicians and civil servants
who, with hardly an exception, are
utterly ignorant of science. Lawyer
politicians, fixing their attention moro
steadily on American friendship than
German defeat. have permitted the ex-
Fort from England of materials Tor
propslsive ammunition--fats and oils"
Cotton IL already on the absolute
contraband list. this action having been
taken after widespread campaign by
scientists who claimed that cotton sx-
ported to Germany was merely so
much ammunition for the German army.
Sir William Ramsay. leader or the
rcientists' campaign against cotton has
begun campaign against fats and
ellis which. he says, are vital TO Ger
man ammunition making.
Sir william declared today: One
third OF German ammunition for heavy
guns consists of nitroglYcertn; and
fats are the source of glycerin. |
really can't understand the incredible
folly OF going on providing the Ger
mans WITH means of killing our men.
Untold thousands of lives and an ever
growing volume of human misery are
terrible punishment for thf neglect
OF science. II is nossible that military
experts are mistaken in thinking the
fnsl decision in this war car be rea'h-
ed by fighting. II may have TO 3e
reached by economic and financial
pressure
England's official ignorance OF science
as applied to war has heightened the
struggle Sir William declared. con-
t'nuing: III the government: had seri-
ously considered this possibility at the
outset and made preparations accord
ingly. asking for and accepting adNlce
on the subject, the war long ~o"'d
have been over"
Many we'll known British scientists
have Joined Sir william in his newest
campaign against the expert OF fats
