GERMANY AND ECONOMIC WAR.

In a speech last month in Berlin, reports of
which have just reached the United States, DR..
Reinold Sydow, former German minister OF
commerce, said that his country must obtain
through the peace agreement the necessary sup
plies of raw materials; that peace must also
bring to her the possibility Of entering under
equal conditions into competition with other ma
tons in the disposal of her industrial products,
and that this meant freedom of action on land
and sea, with the termination of economic war.
The speech was significant because it showed
that Germany was thinking of the dangerous
place she would occupy if the nations now OPP
posing her, and neutrals whose rights she lad
ignored, decided upon an economic boycott.
Many leading men and commercial bodies have
expressed dsapproval of the boycott plan, but
some who were among the first to condemn it
have minated that the question of boycott
must be answered by Germany herself If she
shows disposition not only to keep the peace
in the period Immediately after the war; but to
aid in making peace permanent, there will be no
economic war. But if she hinders the peaceful
development of commerce, she may learn from
her own experience that the trade boycott is a
powerful weapon.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Des Moines Register: The speed
with which the third issue Of Liberty
bonds is being snapped up would indi
cate that the American people are not
losing the desire to swat the kaiser.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: Some good
people do not seem to understand that
what is wanted for the camp libraries,
is not the stun that had been intend
ed for the furnace, but the very best
reading that can be spared. 1t is not
the printed matter that goes to the
waste basket, but the richest, purest,
most invigorating mental food that
the men in the camps crave. There
are few who do not care. But the
men who demand real books may be
a little more numerous in the camps
than they are at home. Send them
what they need.

Mason City Globe Gazette: The

Americans can be induced to lay aside
that idol SO dear to the hearts OF

I steps calculated to simplify the problem of coal

steps calculated to simplify the problem OF coal
distribution.
1t is pointed out that the late buying last
season was one of the causes of coal scarcity
last winter; that warm weather facilitates pro-
duction, and that the producers are making
every effort to increase the output.
It is worth noting that the operators say the
war needs Of the nation create an unusual
pressure on an industry that has fourteen
thousand miners less than during the normal
coal-year output of 1875 Not all the experts
give the same answer to the question whether
the labor supply is ample to meet the demands
made by wartime industry, but it would be
folly to ignore the possibility that distribution
of coal may be made difficult by temporary
scarcity of labor.
