COMMERCIAL WAR OPPOSED.

Highly significant In connection with the dis
cussion of the plan for organized trade discrim-
nation against Germany, is the vote Of the
National Association of Manufacturers in the
referendum submitted by the Chamber of Com
MERGE of the United States. The directors of
the association had disapproved the boycott
proposal before the members were called upon
to vote. Now the association has issued a
statement in which it says that the economic
boycott proposed by the referendum is ''un-
warranted interference in matters Of interna-
honal relations, the handling Of which rests
with the president and congress- It believes
that establishment of boycott as outlined by
the Paris conference of 1916 would be at vari-
ance with the sentiments of President Wilson.
But while the vote against the boycott plan
is significant, because it represents the senti-
ment of men having practical understanding
of foreign trade problems the argument in the
associations statement is not altogether con-
vincng. The plan for war after the war has
been condemned by clear thinkers in England
and in this country. There will be com
mercial boycott unless it be forced by Ger
many's refusal to come into league of peace
full nations. In statement prepared by the
Boston Chamber of Commerce, and sent to the
commercial bodies included in the national
chambers referendum, it was said that the
distinctive feature of the proposal recog-
milton that under normal circumstances bust
ness boycotts and other artificial interferences
with economic laws were unsound and in the
long run Improbable to all concerned.
Economic intercourse after the war will be
free, if Germany joins the other nations in
keeping the peace. There will be no boycott
for the sake of revenge; but If Germany chooses
to remain hostile to the rest Of the world, trade
may be employed to bring her
to terms.
