MR.. LANSING TELLS
OF GERMAN PLOTS
Sought to Embarrass U. S.
Even Before the Declara-
ton of War.
TO HALT ENEMY TRADING

Secretary Lansing. appearing today
before the House commerce committee
in support of the trading -with-the-
enemy bill. said the government had
evidence that Germany. while the
United States still was neutral. had
sent an agent here who organized
steamship company, and loaned Ameri-
cans the money to buy the grain aboard
a ship, in order to raise an issue with
Great Britain and France over her
seizure upon leaving port.
There are many cases." he said,
doubtless inspired by Germany. while
we were neutrals, OF organizations ef-
fected in this country for the sole pur-
pose Of creating friction with Great
Britain and France"
Solicitor Woolsey of the State Depart
ment, Secretary Redfeld and Solicitor
Thurman Of the Department of Com
merce- and others supported the bill.
Innocent Business Protected.
- Secretary Lansing was specifically
asked about the American Trans-Atlan-
tic Company, but refused to discuss the
case. saying it would be embarrassing.
Representative Adamson said numer-
Gus complaints had reached the COM
mittee that the bill interfered with in
nocent business and was confiscatory.
It's not confiscatory at ALL" replied
Secretary Lansing; cit is rather pro-
lection to the property owner against
unjust seizure"
Secretary Lansing AIDED that there was
nothing new in principle in prohibiting
trading with the enemy, but that it
would be novel not to prohibit it.
Transactions in this country of sew
eral large German insurance companies,
Secretary Lansing said. are protected
in most states by bonds
How about the American life inSur-
ance companies that do a large busi-
ness with the central powers?" asked
Representative Esch.
That would depend on the action of
thtSo governments" replied Mr.. Lam
sing.
Pension Payments Suspended.
The committee asked about the $780,
600 year pension money paid to peo-
pie living in Germany. 1t was stated
that the commissioner of pensions had
suspended the payments and the money
can be paid after the war if Congress
SO directs.
Secretary Redfeld said most of the
work to be created by the bill could
ernment. which now is besieged by
wealthy persons who want to work for
nothing.
"One Of the most embarrassing things
we now have to deal with" he said, 'is
that persons with large incomes feel
hurt IT they cannot be taken right on
without pay"
1t was explained that the administers
tion wants the bill not so much to keep
goods out Of Germany as to prevent
transactions which may be consum-
pated- Without dealing with actual
shipments. It Is quite possible, 1t was
declared. to transfer credits to Ger
many by wireless at the present time
via Mexico. South America and Spain.
Many United States firms trading with
German agents. 1t was declared, would
not do SO IL the Department of Com
merce were in position to point out
their exact obligations under the law.

BRAZILIAN HOUSE VOTES
TO REVOKE NEUTRALITY
Action Viewed Here as Forecasting
Breakdown of German Propaganda
Among Republics.

Brazil has decided to revoke
her decree of neutrality. This
action is construed here as little
less than declaration of a state
of war with Germany. 1t also is
believed to indicate a general
breakdown of German propagan-
da all over the southern CONT
nent
Unofficial advices that Chile
would indorse and perhaps join
Brazil in the stand against Ger
many are taken as added evil
dence of the growth of a friend
lier spirit and a corresponding de-
cline of German influence.
To Make Break Complete.
RIO JANEIRO. May es.-The Bra
lillian chamber yesterday passed the
first reading of the government meas
ure revoking Brazilian neutrality in
the war between Germany and the
United States. The vote was 1876 to g.
The leaders of the principal political
factions declared that they would vote
for>the proposed project This declara-
ton brought forth enthusiastic ap-
plauSe.
1t is probable that the bill passed
yesterday will be amended so as to pro-
vide also for cancellation of the DEGREES
OF neutrality in the war between the
central empires and the European al
lies, thereby permitting Brazil to take
sides with the entente against Ger
many.
During the debate yesterday the
greatest enthusiasm was shown. The
galleries were crowded with members
OF the diplomatic corps and other
prominent persons. A pacifist deputy
who attempted to speak was interrupt
ed by other deputies who cried: THE
Germans are assassins!'
Ship Seizure Urged.
Seizure of German ships and adoption

recommended by the diplomatic COM
mission of the chamber of deputies. to

Ideas of italian Mission.
These. in substance, are the broad gem
eral principles the Italian mission has
impressed upon American officials, as
outlined to newspaper men today by
francesca Saverio Nitti, one of the
worlds foremost economists, and one Of
italy's ablest men. who has held port
folioS of commerce, agriculture and in.
dustry In the Italian cabinet
Italy entered the war for the same
principles and purposes which induced
the American Congress, at the instance
people of the United States, to 6eclare
war against Germany" Mr.. Nitti ex.
planned. Italy could have kept out Of the
war. hiding behind her agreement with
the two central powers. but she could not
remain neutral when the whold world
was fighting the mailed fist Of Germany.
Italy now is fighting not only new war
of independence, but a war for civiliza.
tion and democracy"
Mr.. Nitti explained that Italy went
into the war under greater disad-
vantage than any other allied power.
He pointed out that she was without
any other natural defense than her
soldiers. They had to make up for lack
of coal, munitions and supplies

Italy's Brilliant Contribution.

Our fighting. at times. has meant to
our soldiers opposing only their bodies
to the bullets of the Germans" he said.
'and when the history of this war is
written. the contribution of Italy, we
believe. will form one of its most bril-
liant chapters"
Emphasis has been placed on the fact
that Italy sent a mission to the United
States to ask nothing in particular for
herself, but only to seek fullest mutual
cooperation, because the weakening OF
any one nation means a weakening of
the alliance.
AS Mr.. Nitti views the German lines
of attack they are:
preventing the shipment of food to
England.
Italy, that countrys greatest immedt-
ate need.
Undermining the manhood of France.
Seeking first by scheming to divert
Russia, and then to offer her induce
ments to cease fighting"
ITO controvert these aims" Mr..
Nitti said, "the allies must pool their
interest," and Italy stands ready to
give ner lives and all we possess to
the common cause.
Financial Condition Good.
Mr.. Nitti explained that the financial
condition of Italy was excellent before
the war. italy. he said. is the only
allied country beside England that has

the interest by taxation of funds loan
ed internally or abroad. The taxes inn
posed have been shouldered by the
italian people. he stated. without
marked discomfort
Rates of exchange for Italian money
have been high MIR. Nitti said. because
of the fears of foreign financiers aris-
ing out of the peculiar economic Or
ganization of Italy:
..When Italy went into the war" he said.
"she was compelled to obtain the equiv
aiant of $500 600, 900 in American money
While she was not able then to export
mercbandise which would Offset this
anoount. Loans will tend to reduce the
rate Of exchange. The deficit in Italy's
fnauces is due only to conditions
nraated by the war and the necessity
of maintaining 100000 fighting men
through importations of cereals. coal.
raw materials. horses and other sup
plies.
