unable to sail because of the refusal of

NEUTRAL SHIPPING
ATTACK HUN POLICY
Double Purpose Seen by War
Trade Board. Which Issues
Statement.
ANNOUNCES REGULATIONS

Sinking of neutaI shipping by Ger
man submarines has two purposes, &C
cndIng to a statement issued by the
war trade board. One is to cut off sup
plies from America. thus making the
neutrals dependent for food on German
good will. and the other is q deliberate
plan 10 destroy neutral shipping to the
end that Germany may have advantage
in the after-the-war struggle for trade
Coincideut with issue Of the state
rnent the war trade board announced
regulations which are to govern ship
ments to Holland under the plan for
seizure of the Dutch ships All ship
ments not consigned to the Dutch gov
eminent itself must be consigned to the
Netherlands Overseas Trust Company.
Certificates obtained from the Overseas
Trust by prospective importers must be
forwarded to prospective exporters in
this country, who. in turn, will apply
to the war trade boards bureau of ex-
ports for p license.
The war trade boards statement re-
garding the sinking of neutral ship
ping is as follows:
.iermany's war leaders are using
the submarine war weapon to prevent
fulfIlment of American agreements to
feed and relieve European neutrals. A
mass of cumulative evidence and lndi-
cations in the possession OF the war
trade board show that Germany is en-
ploying the submarine menace to pre-
vent neiGhbor neutraIs receiving any
food or favors at the hands of the
United States and its associates in the
war, and to coerce these neutrals
through starvation, into political and
economic dependence upon Germany
quite as much as to strike at the COM
nunicationS OF its opponents Ger
nanys ostensible aim in prociaiming
the ruthless submarine campaign.
Further, indica lions tend to show
that the submarines are being used,
along similar dog-in-t he-manger lines,
to destroy neutral shipping without re-
gard to its employment in order to
weaken prospective neutral competitors
after the war and to drag down neutral
tonnage as far as possible toward a
position of equality Tor inferiority)
with the German mercantile marine.
which has lost between 40 and so per
cent of its ocean tonnage. so that the
neutral trader may be equally as badly
off as his German rival for tonnage in
the after-the-War FACE for commerce.

The Food Problem Solved.

Herbert Hoover's statement In Lon
don that the United States can feed
its allies Of Europe during the war
means that one Of the most difficult
and vital problems Of this conflict has
been solved. Sacrifices already made
by the American people have put them
in . position to supply the heede Of
their allies and further sacrifices will
be made II necessary. We are, said Mr..
Hoover, quoting President Wilson,
"eatins at the common table with the
people Of the allied countries We
have pooled oiir resources. We are
building ships and sending men and
raising war funds, virtually financing
this conflict, and supplying the greater
part Of the Food.
The achievements Of the American
people In the matter Of food eonserva-
ton during the past year have been
phenomenal. In the spirit Of eo.opefa-
tion and sacrifice they have adopted
the war standard Of food use 50 gener-
ally, 80 sincerely and 50 thoroughly

BILE by even the most optimistic. When
Mr.. Hoover left this country for En-:
rope he carried With him reports show
ing beyond question that the food sup.
ply Of tho allies was assured.
II has been suggested that Herbert
Hoover be placed at the head Of the
food organization Of all the allied
countries. IN truth, by virtue Of hii
position as food administrator Of the
United States he is already CONTROLLED
Of the supplies Of England, France and
Italy. Whatever form Of Organization
may be effected, whatever title may
pass, he will stand as the man who CON:
trolls the food situation outside Of the
central powers, and he has won the Inn
