with quick sympathy here.

THE BLOCKADE BOOT
ON THE OTHER LEG.

From time to time since the
European war began, protest has
been made by Germany, bv pro.
Germans in this country, and by
uniformed or sentimental people
generally, against the methods OF
the blockade imposed by the allies
against the central powers
Especially has it been charged
that the allies had no right to in
terfere with our commerce in ar
ticles that the blockade powers
wanted to buy from us. Cotton
has been the pet grievance of a
certain class of publicists.
Many months ago The Times
pointed out, first, that the allies
are conducting their blockade
under American made rules dating
TO the civil war; and, second. that
no country on earth mas more
Reason for maintaining the m ,st
liberal construction of the super.
ior powers privileges i'm conduct
ing a blockade, because in almost
any war that this county might
wage in the western world the
blockade OF our enemy would BE- a
chief weapon in our hands.
Now comes the precise parallel
to the conditions that the allies
have had to meet. 1t comes soon
er than expected, more impress
lively than we might wish.
We are on the verge of war
with Mexico. We may be in war
before another day passes. The
blockade has already been ar
ranged and outlined. Sufficient
naval force has been sent Co both
the east and west coasts of Mex
leo to seal the country. Mum
tons. foodstuffs, general supplies.
will be placed under the ban the
instant war is declared.
Shall our German sympathizers
protest that We are going to starve
the Innocent, the noncombatants,
the women and children of Mex
ico: That is what they have
charged against the allies block
ade of middle Europe. Or vii!
they realize, as the rest of us
have realized in connection with
the European situation and as the
Washington Government insisted
durinS the civil war, that such
means will bring the issue sooner
and thefpre lessen the horrors of
conflict? We rather opine that an
American blockade of Mexico will
arouse vastly less outcry in be
half of oppressed humanity"
than British blockade of Ger
many. But it is the same thing.
Another parallel. Britain and
France have been compelled to
close the Scandinavian and Dutch
gateways of ingress to Germany.
They have opposed severe con-
diiions, and have inflicted uudoubt.
ed hardships on neutral commerce.
But what are we about to do in a
like situation?
Already we are reminded t'lat
Guatemala, on the southern Dor
der of Mexico, is the ole neutral
through which supplies may be
introduced into Mexico. We
might build a cement wall a mile
high around all Mexico, save the
Guatemala front: and yet, if that
frontier be left open, Carrauza
could twiddle his fingers at US in
glee, and bring through the Guat-
emalan ports and over the border
TO Mexico, all the guns and am
munition and food stuffs and |
what not he might be able to buy
all over the world. 1t would be
no blockade at all with little Guat. |
