Idle Neutral Ships,

II was great pleasure to see your edi-
torlal Saturday advocating the comman-
deerlng of the grain ships for neutral
ports row lying idle in our harhors
Every day for the last two months. on my
way TO and from business [ have seen
these SHIPS anchored in the Hudson, their
tlfne wasted, their cargoeS spelling, while
ships and grain are the great need of the
world. And | have wondered, as thou
sancs OF others must have wondered, why
the owners should prefer to let their
property stand idle and deterorate rath-
er than unload it or divert it to another
GeStlHauon. They are intelligent business
men, they must know that there is little
chance that they will be allowed to pro-
ceed TO their present destination. Whose
interest can they be serving in refusing
u alter j.: Certainly not their own They
are simply destroying their own property
70 no purpose. Nor can one see how
II can be to the interest of the
Dutch Government or people to re.
quire or permit such waste. Better
by far to dispose Of the cargoes anS
charter the ships to the Allies on profit
able terms. There is only one party to
whose interest it is that the ships should
be idle, their cargoes destroyed rather
than help the transportation and supplies
OF the Allies. and that Is Germany These
owners and consgners are obviously
playing the German game. They know
perfectly well what they are doing. That
they should deliberately prefer this course
IS the strongest argument l have vet see,
ioT the belief that Germany has In fact
been receiving large supplies of food d.
rectly or indirectly from this country
through neutral traffic. Figures of i'm
ports may mean much or little. they NAV
be explained away, and when presented
. by interested parties various suspicious
may attach to their apparent Significance
But merchants do not destroy their own
property without an adequate reason. and
there is only one reason that appears ade-
quate for the procedure of these grain
ships. Every day that they lie idle adds
to the evidence that justified the Presi-
dent s embargo. and TO the argument for
furthe procedure along the lines sug-
eeStea IN your editorial w. D. NJ
Hastings-on-Hud Sept. Is. 1917
The above letter was written to a.
New York paper. The news dispatches
tell us that since the date of this let
ter one or more of these idle neutral
ships have discharged their cargoes Of
grain and have sailed for South Amer
ice with cargo Of coal and will bring
back nitrates needed on American
farms. This is the course of wisdom
without question, and is one more
nail driven into the coffin Of Prussian
ism.
