Control Trade After War

Extension for period of three years after the
close of the war of the extraordinary powers now
exercised by the government in the regulation Of
imports and exports is the object Of a bill
before parliament, according to commerce reports.
This measure entitled imports and exports fem-
porary contro) BILL presented by the president of
the board Of trade, embOdies the most important
legislation thus far initiated with view to pro-
tecting and controlling British trade after the
war. Unless extended, present powers Of control
Of exports and imports will to great extent lapse
upon the cessation of hostilities.
Section l. paragraph 1 of the bill reads as fol-
lows:
"The lords of the council on the recommends
ton of the board of trade may by order prohibit
the importation expectation Of goods of any
class, description, origin or produced manu-
factured in whole or in part in any country
place specified in the order, either generally
from to any country place named in the
order, subject in either case to such exceptions
Gf any) may be specified in the ORDER and to
any licenses the grant Of which may be auth
oriZed by the order.'
While ordinary legislation has given authority
for certain measures Of control in times of
peace, the particular powers which it is desired
to make effective beyond the duration of the war
are the following Prohibition of importation Of
goods of specified origin prohibition of exporta-
ton of goods of any kind prohibition of expor-
tation of all goods to any country place spe-
cited.
The desire on the part Of British interests for
action of this nature is shown in resolu-
ton in favor Of restriction by tariff or other
wise, of the trade relations with enemy countries
adopted by the Association of Chambers of Com
merce Of the United Kingdom in 1916

PHYSICIANS Deaths.

AS an example of how malicious and
seemingly innocent is German propa-
ganda ih the United States may be
cited the rumors and the actual facts
about mortality among the allied
physicians at the western front.
Recently the actual statistics were
produced, which showed that the bat
tie risks of a physician are scarcely
more than those Of civil life. Between
the beginning Of the war and June 25,
1917, only 1915 French and English doc
tors have been killed, 7O7 wounded and
62 cut down by disease.

president was himself an editor, with
habit of writing very long articles for
his paper in Georgia, and the contem-

statement regarding his weight refused
to retract it for the reason, he said
that "Air. Stephens must have had one
of his editorials in his pocket when
he last tried the scales. This would
account for the difference of four
pounds between the two figures"
