GERMANY HAS FEAR
OF ECONOMIC BOYCOTT
Manufacturers Are Most
Alarmed Over Supply Of
Raw Materials

Washington, Feb. s. - Germany is
launching counter drive within the
central empires to offset growing fear
lof an allied economic boycott after the
war
"Secret agreements, to be pro.
mulgated by Germany and the greed
of other nations will smash any boy
colt, declares the semi-official Wolff
Agency in an article prepared for wide
distribution in Germany and Austria,
a copy of which has reached this gov
ernment.
"By compensation agreements it
would be easy for Germany to prevail
upon countries to make exchanges Sc
cretly or openly. If individual states
take up business connections with Ger
many openly or secretly there will be
many ways to get raw materials.
Gas soon as the chain of agreements
with regard to an economic war is
broken, England will be the greatest
sufferer An exchange of goods, not
carried on according to natural eco
nomic laws, will make the costs of pro-
duction greater, export more difficult
and inland consumption more expens.
i've, all to the detriment of English la
borers'
Italy, according to the Wolff article
"cannot long do without Germany, its
best market for vegetables, fruits,
silks, cts. The natural market for Rus
sian grain, hemp, bran, wood, eggs and
many raw materials, is Germany. Many
countries need goods which they can
not get only from Germany, such as
coal, coke. potash, sulphate of ammo
mia, chemicals, dyes, etc"

SHIPPERS OF nation
ALIVE TO INTERESTS
Railroad Control Legislation
Will Hold Center OF Stage
Next Week

Washington, Feb. s. - The rs. 0.
IS call was sent to shippers Of the
country today to protect their inter
ests in the railroad control legislation
which will be taken up by both
branches of congress next week.
Clifford Thorne, former chairman Of
the Iowa state railway commission and
now representing a dozen large ship
pers organizations through the middle
west, urged them to exert their fullest
pressure to obtain enactment of a rate
fixing clause which will leave that
power with the interstate commerce
commission.
Thorne claims that failure of tho
house committee to adopt the senate
rate making provisions has brought the
fight to the floors of congress. The
house measure leaves the power with
the president The senate measure leav-
es it with the commission, but gives
the president the right to initiate
rates, as carriers now do.
q Unless the senate provision is
adopted the commission may be re-
duced to nominal control such as it
used to have" Thorne warned.
Nobody has suggested that war
power overrides the rights Of railroads
The rights of shippers are just as sa-
cred as those of the roads.
The railroad legislation will reach
the senate floor Monday with pros
poets of few talkless days until the
measure is enacted. Dissenting mem
bers of the interstate commerce com
ittee plan to present their varied views
in spite of the plea Of President Will
son and Chairman Smith for rapid ac-
tion.
Senator Cummins, who will present
his minority report to the senate Mon
day, will center his attack on the com
pensation feature of the bill. He
fought in committee to cut out the
of any surplus to the roads
during the government control. The
total surplus guaranteed in the com
mittee bill, he says is nearly 100000,
900 annually.
Senator Pcindexter, who has present
ed his views in a report, expects to car
ry his fight to the floor He will fight
the time limit and rate fixing fea.

"we must continue our policy of deep
ening the German revolution
Referring to Foreign Minister Trot-
sky reference in his exclusive inter-
view with the United Press to an elias
tic policy, the Novayazishiin (news-
paper) asked whether Russia should
permit German annexations in the west
even if they were rejected in the east.
The Bolsheviki reply to this that if
the Germans are able to annex terri
tory on the western front it is the al
lies fault, as they failed to join the
