CHARGE u. S. TRADE
SECRETS ARE STOLEN
Killing Citizens Much Worse
Crime, Declares Senator
From Mississippi
TAssocia,sd Press BY Federal wirelsssl

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan, 81
Senator Hoke Smiths denunciation OF
Britain's interference with neutral
commerce precipitated an angry de-
bate, in the course of which the actiyi-
ties of the German admiralty were
denounced as premeditated murders
and the activities Of the British navy
as robberies on high seas. A charge
was made by one speaker that the
British -censors had extracted Ameri-
can trade secrets from the correspond
ence passing through their hands and
had impaired the information OBJ
tanned from intercepted mail to Brit
ish firms. This charge was fatty de-
MED by other speakers.
Senator Borah of Idaho and Senator
Vardaman of Mississippi agreed with
Senator Hoke Smith that British In
reference with American commerce
called for more than diplomatic pro-
tests and Endorsed the contentious OF
the Georgian that an embargo upon
munition exports would bring the Brit
ish to realization of American rights.
Senator John Sharp Williams OF
Mississippi said that he would agree
to no action which might lead to the
supposition that the United States
would go to war for. the sake Of dol
lars or placed the lives of its citizens
secondary to the sake of foreign trade.
Human Life Comes First.
This stand was seconded by Sena-
tor Blair Lee Of Maryland, who stated
that the United States should not
place property rights on the same
plane as the rights of human life. In
regard to the actions of the British
toward alleged contraband, at worst
1t was only a violation of property
rights and involved nothing that could
not be paid for. He thought 1t suffi-
.cient, he said, II the United States
entered formal protest against these
violations of American rights, then
await the British reply in calmness
before presenting any demands for
restitution.
