moved from its anchorage until the
captain of the vessel has an authorize
tion IN his possession.
Moreover, railroads are prohibited
from accepting merchandise disttned for
Europe unless the shipper can show a
government license. Extending the
mechanics of the embargo so as to
cover the railroads was done mainly to
economic freight cars and to pre-
vent them from being used as ware
houses at the large eastern terminals.
The prohibited list of products which
can only leave this country under IL
cense include almost everything from
pig iron to soap. from locomotives to
peanut oil, from cannon to ashes and
SCOT, and from coal to carrier pigeons.
The purpose and effect OF this proc
lamation," President Wilson informed
the world, when the embargo went into
effect, 'is not export prohibition, but
merely export control.
TT Is not the intention" he said, TO
interfere unnecessarily with our for
eign trade; but our own domestic needs
must be adequately safeguarded, and
there is the added duty of meeting the
necessities of all the nations at war
ment."
First of all. there must be food and
war materials for the United States.
That is need number one. And so much
food and war material as can be
spared for the allies of the United
States. That is need number two.
