ARE WE DRIFTING?

rhe editor has circular issued by
an organization which styles itself
"Qtizens' League for America and
tho Allies" and it's platform is given
as Follows:
we believe that the fabric Of civil
iza4iOn embodied in free government
and diversity of nationality is menac-
edsby Teutonic aggression, and that
tho foundations Of public right are
endangered by the violation of Bel
GUM and the atrocities of submarine
warfare.
I'VE are convinced that our polit.
ical ideals and our national safety
are bound up with the cause of the
Allies, and that their defeat would
mean moral and material disaster to
our country.
Therefore, this League is formed
to use all lawful means to put this
Nation in a position of definite sym
pathy with the Allies, and in an
equally definite position of moral dis
appreciation of the purposes and
methods of the Central Teutonic En-
pires."
The names Of thirty eminent Anglo
Americans appear under the same.
These gentlemen have the courage to
throw off their mask of assumed neu-
trahty and openly advocate a course
that will inevitably embroil United
States into the quarrels of Europe
The very thing that the founders of
our government specifically warned
against. When the German-American
Alliance pronounced pr gram aim
ing to secure a course of more strict
neutrality for this country they were
criticized in many quarters severely
for assuming to make their influence
object as neutrality. Will these crit
les now be consistent and denounce
this organization which is not content
to demand neutrality and strict fair
play, but insist that this country shall
make entangling alliances with the
monarchies of the Old World known
now as the Allies?
What do the talks of Root, Roose-
welt, ct al, mean, if not that this
country has been too tardy in getting
into the World war? Events are
shaping themselves for a national
contest between those who desire to
see America keep out of the war by
the observance of neutrality and those
who wish to even more actively than
at present assist the Allies.

ATTACK ON OUR GOLD
General Assault on Our Reserve and Foreign Trade After War Predicted by National Council.

Washington, July 2O.-A general European attack upon Americas un- precedented gold reserve and foreign trade at the close of the war is pre- dicted in a statement submitted to the house judiciary committee today by the National Foreign Trade Coun- cil urging passage of the Webb bill to permit American combinations in the export trade.
 N. Pointing out that the present enor- nous export business is due largely to an abnormal war demand, the council says the liberty to cooperate which rivals and customers of Amer ican firms have enjoyed has pro- duced highly organized selling agen- cies and that the United States cannot hold it's position in the world of bus mess if European industrial and gov ernmental cooperation versus Amer ican compelled competition is to con- tinue.
