starvation"

When "the starvation Of Ger
many" is spoken of in connec-
ton with the blockade, the word
starvation is a figure of
speech. When a nation is re-
duced to eXtremeties by this kind
of starvation" the last thing
it suffers from is actual loss of
food. 1t begins first to "starye"
in the matter of military sup
plies; if it can hold out it then
starves for clothing and other
necessaries of life, and finally, if
it comes to that for food. 1t is
quite correct to say, as in this
sense it is often said, that the
Southern Confederacy starved to
death. Yet the people of the
South did not literally die of
hunger. The rolling stock of its
railroads wore out first, and it
could not make up the deficiency.
1t lost it's ships, and was unable
to build more. Then, in the
winter Of 1864, General Lee
began to find himself unable to
clothe his men properly. The
South began to find itself short
of paper, Of wool, Of other neces-
saries. 1t was short Of food to-
ward the end, but its people did
not die in the streets for lack OF
| it. starvation" was in that
case as it is in Germany's a fig.
ure of speech; quite correct one
in that of the South. The ques.
ton is whether it is correct in
Germany's.
If Germany is suffering from
lack of wool to clothe her
soldiers, from lack of cotton tc
make high explosives, from lack
Of copper, or rubber, then the
blockade is Starving" her.
There is no doubt that she is at
least beginning to suffer the
lack of these things. This is
the kind of starvation that is
relied on to bring her to terms.
If the Llockade becomes so ef-
fective that she can get no cot
ton. no wool, no copper. no rub
Der, at all, then Germany will be
starved to surrender, even
though every family in the EN-
)ire has three meals a day. The
blockade is most certainly effect
We in fact; Germany is being
starved" and the pressure OF
that kind Of starvation will in.
,rease, though bread and meat
| md milk remain.
| Germany now proposes tC
'starve" England. She has &
perfect legal right to do it, just
as England has a perfect lega
right to 'starve' her; just as she
had a perfect legal right tC
starve Paris in 1870, in which
case she brought about not a fig.
urative starvation but an actual
famine of food. But she has nc
right to kill neutrals or destroy
their property in the course OF
that starving process. That il
the difference between hel
blockade and England's, and il
is the reason why the United
States protests-not at al
against her starving process, bu
against her slaughter of neutrals
