STARVATION WILL Be
ANOTHER HUN WEAPON

Washington, Mar. 15.-Germany's
latest campaign of ruthlessness
against neutral shipping is attribut-
ed by the war trade board, in state
ment tonight, to deliberate plan
for cutting off the north European
nations from American and allied
food supplies and thereby reducing
them through starvation to polit-
ical and economic dependence upon
the Teutonic war lords.
While the board makes no refer
encc to the determination of the
United States and England to take
over Dutch ships in American and
allied ports, unless The Netherlands
government accepts pending eco
nomic agreement, its statement
throws interesting light upon the sit
uation which led to this decision.
The hope is expressed that neu-.
trails would contrast the respective
attitudes Of the United States and
Germany toward the problem oi
feeding them.

cd by big British commercial houses

TO enable British manufacturers

rates, the output OF manufacturers
for export must show very large
increase on .pre-war standards. We
cannot hope to pay the increased

"The additional plant called into

and the intensive cultivation Of ex-
isting markets will be necessary. The
clue to what is wanted is the ex-
perience Of firms which have been
able to place their own Offices In for
eign markets. We propose that
every firm shall have such Offices
collectively and the men In charge
will be the best that can be found.
They will have behind them the
