Deemed Important Factor.

Government officials are said to re-
gard the effect Of the embargo on ship
ments of food to neutrals as a much
more decisive factor in the allied pro-
gram than is generally recognized. 1t is
known that Great Britain has been es-
pecially hopeful that such action on the
part of the United States would help
bring Germany to a serious shortage of
food The large quantities of food she
has been able to obtain from the neu-
trails. II is stated, accounts for the fact
that she has not shown the signs of
being starved out" even in the face of
short harvests and of under production
which have seemed to indicate that she
could not feed her army and her people
much longer.
About seventy ships loaded with car
goes for the neutrals are now tied
up in American harbors because they
have been unable to obtain licenses for
their careoes, or to get British letters
OF assurance. OF course. an important
feature of the lessened shipping to neu-
trails is the tonnage it makes availa BILE
for sending foodstuffs to American
allies.
