A CLUB OVER GERMANY

The Chamber of Commerce Of the United States has
decided drastic action toward Germany after the war;
unless it gets rid Of mtarsm and makes the German
government responsible instrument controlled by the
German people The national chamber of commerce con-
ssts of 1000 chambers of scattered through
out the country and with votes of from one to ten each
series of resolutions submitted to these chambers
about the middle Of January, and the returns are just
beginning to in So far they favor the resolutions
2O4 to 154 The position is taken that when the war is
over the size Of the armamentS Of all other nations will
be fixed by the size Of the German armament and the
appeal is made to German businessmen to to it that
the government made to represent the people and be
made responsible to them 1t is stated that the American
people not disposed to wage an economic war on or
join in discrimination against German goods after the
war; if danger Of excessive armament is removed by the
fact that the German government has become really
responsible to the people, At the time it is stated
that this discrimination will take place unless the things
asked are accomplished.
In other words American businessmen are not going to
be again forced to aid in maintaining immense armies
and navies just because German mitarsts insist on
Germany doing So They think they have the remedy in
their own hands, and they probably have and this by
simply refusing to do any business whatever with Ger
many. Cutting America from the German market list
would be the hardest blow that could be struck her.
After the she must have the worlds markets in which
to help herself recover from the financial chaos into which
the has plunged her. and the American market was
always her best and biggest However it would not
be America alone that would close its doors on her after
lne war; out Americas example would be followed Joyful
y by the balance of the world This is powerful weapon
and will win Refusal to again trade with or deal with
