TO STRENGTHEN THE
ECONOMIC BLOCKADE
OF. CENTRAL POWERS

Washington, April 21.-Measures to
prevent food and supplies reaching the
enemy through peace time American
trade channels to the Scandinavians,
are under preparation by the admins
tration, the United Press learned today.
The problem Is one of general
series Of trading with the enemy re-
strtctions, being worked out by the
special trading with the enemy commit
tee appointed by the cabinet and COM
posed of representative each of tho
state. Justice and commerce depart
ments.
Legislation to seal an air-tight eco
nomic blockade about the central pow
ers is expected to be presented to con-
gress shortly.
While the United States went on
record against the principle Of the COM
mercial blacklist, some means, 1t was
stated, must and will be found to pre-
vent Swedish and Danish merchants
from acting as go-betweens for Ger
many.
The government also faces the prob
lem OF preventing German American
traders here from showing supplies
through the Scandinavias via German
or quasi German confederates there.
That this country will refuse to en-
ter into any general blacklisting of
German merchants in neutral coun-
tries-just because Of their nationality
lis believed certain. however.
We must work out q plan to pre-
vent our supplies from reaching Ger
many with as little unjust discrimina-

possible" was the statement Of high

an American expeditionary force sent
to France is soon as possible-simply
for the effect the presence Of Ameri-

"Of course. I can express only my
personal opinion" he said to the Unit

certain that the presence of even a
single American division on the bat
tie fields of France or Flanders this
year would exercise influence and af-
ford encouragement out Of all proper
ton to the actual number of men en-
ployed.
TO cHEER-THE ALLIES.
1t was always represented to us
that the timely arrival of even a small
force of British troops in France
would stimulate and cheer the heart
of every French soldier.
AS it turned out our small army
achieved very great material results in
addition to its moral effect. Perhaps
1t played a decisive part in the su-
preme events of the opening phase Of
the war. But now, when the terri
BILE weight and burden of this strug-
gle has pressed for nearly three years
upon the French, the British and Bel
gian troops, the arrival Of the Ameri-
can flag and the American uniform
on the actual line of battle would be
the veritable signal of approaching
deliverance and of victory and would
kindle Joy and enthusiasm in every
