absolute control over it's exports.

absolute control over its exports. 1t
prohibits the export of all articles of
commerce to enemy and neutral coun-
tries, but IL is the intention to care
for the needs of neutrals, by licensing
shipments of such expectations as can
be spared after the wants of the Unit
ed States and its allies have been sup
piled. A large number of commodi-
ties are added to those named in the
original embargo order, including fats
of all kinds, other foods, construction
materials and other articles necessary
to the successful prosecution of the
war by this government; also gold,
bullion, currency and evidences Of In
debtedhess-this in order to conserve
the immense store of gold that has
been accumulated by the United States
in the last three years.
In a statement accompanying the
order the president said:
"The purpose and effect Of this
proclamation is not export prohibition,
but merely export control. 1t is not
the intention to interfere unnecessar-
lily with our foreign trade, but our
own domestic needs must be adequate
ly safeguarded and there is the added
duty of meeting the necessities of all
the nations at war with the imperial
German government.
"After these needs are met 1t is our
wish and intention to minister to the
naaJu Of 4ho v1o11fro1 nations 70 n q
our own resources permit. This task
will be discharged without other than
the very proper qualification that the
liberation of our surplus products
shall not be made the occasion of bene-
fit to the enemy, either directly or in
directly"

ing to gain control in the new republic.
Premier Kerensky admittedly is anx-
ious as to the future, but has stated
fatty and fearlessly the position of the
government of which he is the head
and leading spirit. He warned those
who thought the time had come to
overthrow the revolutionary power
with arms that his patience had its
limits and that those who went be-
yond them would have to settle with a
government that will make them re-
member the time of czardom." He
continued:
'We shall be implacable, because we
are convinced that supreme power
alone can assure the salvation of the
country. That is why l shall oppose
energetically all attempts to take ad
vantage of Russia's national misfor
tunes, and whatever ultimatum is pre-
sented, shall subject it to the su
preme power and to myself, it's head
