A NEW KIND OF
MONOPOLY

The sisal inquiry by the senate
committee on agriculture has reveal
ed an astonishing state of affairs in
which the American farmer is the
victim of an international monopoly
and First Chief Carranza one Of the
beneficiaries.
Yucatan produces nine tenths of
the worlds sisal crop and this sisal
composes nine tenths Of the binder
Irvine used by American farmers in
harvesting their grain crops. The
testimony brought out by the senate
committee shows that American fin.
anciers combined with an organiza-
ton OF Yucatan planters to monopo-
lie the sisal crop under the sanction
of military force exercised by Car
rama, who receives a share OF the
profits. The sisal monopoly, it ap-
pears, furnishes a large proportion
of the revenue OF the de facto gov.
eminent OF Mexico.
After having perfected the monop-
oily the combination began to raise
prices. and 1t has been shown that

was started. II was at first thought
that the International Harvester Co.,
controlled the Irvine market, but the
evidence shows that the harvester

from the monopoly and Is not inter

The financial interests backing the
monolopy have skilfully sought to
place the blame upon the harvester
company, but the committee has fin.

ENGLAND FORTUNATE

Great Britain's reply to the Ameri.

ences with neutral trade finds the
American people little disposed to
be critical. Its logic Is not faultless
nor are its conclusions irresistible.
But 1t is kindly received for 1t is
read in the light of the possibility
that the United States may soon be
openly allied with the cause which
IL represents.
Upon every occasion since the war
began when the United States and
England might have drifted into com.
plications, Germany has interposed
to draw them together. England has
given the United States repeated and
ample provocation for quarrel. That
nation has DISTRACTED neutral COM
merce by calm, deliberate and per-
sistent contravention of the rights Of
noutrals and the fundamentals of
international law, but, whenever the
United States has prepared to call
England to sharp account, Germany
has murdered additional noncombat.

cessity of facing the Just consequen.

1t has been the constant complaint
of the Teutonic powers that the Uni.

from them. They have cited Ameri.

because they seem the excuses of q

England more. but that a great crisis
involving Germany, and the United

Blind Policy
Brings Revolt

London, April 26.--"The revolt In
ireland is the natural result OF the
governments policy in Ireland"
says the Daily Mail Augustine Bir-
rell, chief secretary for Ireland and
Premier Asquith sat still and allowed
rebel force to be enrolled and arm
ed. They did not move hand or
foot against 1t. On March II, sixteen
hundred Irish volunteers paraded,
mostly armed with rifles and nobody
stopped or challenged them.
mr.. Birrell never asked why the
volunteers existed. He knew 1t was
not to serve against the enemy, but
rather to obstruct the imperial for.
ces. On December 10 he declared evi.
dence Of their disloyalty is volumin-
GUS, yet he did nothing.
Blind to Treason
IF he had any policy other thaa
merely drifting, It was to turn
blind eye to the disloyal movement.
The government persuaded itself that
the treason could be overcome by res
olutely looking the other way. The
government wait and see policy was
complicated by hide the truth pol
Icy.
IF the newspapers had been per-
mitted to publish information in their
hands Sunday night these things
could not have happened. The Irish
authorities would have been aroused
from their sleeping sickness by the
publication Of news that something
very exceptional was occurring. They
might have taken ordinary precau-
lions, but the press was muzzled. II
is proof of the grossest negligence
and obtuseness when four or five
parts of a great city can be seized
by comparatively small number
of armed men.
"This colossal blunder follows up
on and surpasses all other blunders
OF the war. How much longer IL the
nation prepared to drift under the
Of leaders who refuse to
lead"
The Times says the uprising in
Ireland would influence certain kinds
of American opinion in their favor
at time when relations with the
United States are critical. German
societies and Irish societies in Am
erica have been working hand in
glove to prejudice opinion against
Great Britain. They doubtless will
exert themselves now about Ireland'c
struggle for freedom. II the cabinet
tries to hush up any part Of the truth
or confine the intelligence reaching
America to official communications
doled out by themselves, the Ger
man and Irish agencies in the United
States will have free field for their
malign activities; but If the govern,
ment allows responsible, competent
correspondents to investi
gate matters freely and unfettered.

they have misunderstood real Am.
