H|RsT STRONGLY IN FAVOR
OF SCIENTIFIC BLOCKADE
Ills Advocacy Has Much to DO
With Plans Now Being
Considered.
EXPLAINS MEANING or TERM
Recognized Authority on Economic
and Financial Questions Regards
Warfare as Something More Than
Clash of Arms.

ICorre sponicnCe of Associated Press. !
LONDON January 25.-Francis w.
Hrst, editor or tho Economist talked
with the Associated prcss representa-
tive today on some of the economic
aspects Of the war and the tremendous
expenditures II is piiine mp on the
hrhtiuc nations Mir. INST is one OF
the recognized authorities on economic
and financial questions. his work on
the Political Economy OF War having
attracted widespread attention as be
ing one OF the first efforts 20 consider
warfare as something more than 4
clash of arms and The gathering OF sol
diers. Colonel House WAS aware OF
this. and so when he came here recent
ly to puage sentiment. he turned 20 Mr..
Hirst quite as naturally as 10 the
political and military leaders
Mr.. lirst is STRONGLY in favor of
scientific blockade instead OF block
head blockade as ne calls it, and his
advocacy of the scientific blockade has
much TO do with the plans the govern
mental and naval authorities are now
considering. He was asked the mean
ing of scientific blockade
I, means, he explained. blockade
based upon some intelligent distinc-
ton ms 10 what will injure and what
will help an enemy. AS against "a
blanket blockade spread over every
thing without regard 10 whether IL In
jures or helps the enemy. and which. in
the case OF the old "blockhead block
ade," actually was OF benefit to Ger
many. There are large number of
articles like tea. coffee ana fruit. Mr..
Hirst pointed out which are not neces-
saries of life, and cannot contribute
TO any large extent IN sustaining
population and the endurance OF
nation. Ii is such articles that scion
tifc blockade permits TO be imported
into an enemy country. for tho reason
that when imported from foreign coun-
tries they must he paid for In gold.
thus creating a steady increase in the
foreign Indebtedness OF the enemy
country.
But the "blockhead blockade" does
just the reverse, in shutting out these
articles which are not nccessaries of
life; it relieves Germany from gold
export, ANA actually stimulates her do
mestic production, which she can pay
for, no; in gold. but in fiat paper
money. That is actually what has hap
pcned in Germany he says, and II is
one of the things which a scientific
blockade viii seek to stop
Mr.. HRS, holds that the traditional
weapons Of England are the navy and
finance, ana not a large land force
