Control Trade After War

Extension for period of three years after the

exercised by the government in the regulation of
imports and exports Is the object of a bill now
before parliament according TO commerce reports.
This measure, entitled imports and exports (tem-
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 hostilites
Section l. paragraph / of the bill reads as fol-
lows
"The lords of the council the recommended
tion OF tie board of trade may by order prohibit
the importation or expectation of goods of any
class description, or origin, produced manu-
featured In whole in part in any country or
place specified In the order either generally or
from to any country or place named in the
order. subject in either case to such exceptions
az 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 1t is desired
10 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-
tatlon of all goods 70 any country or place spe-
cited.
The desire on the part of British interests for
some action of this nature is shown In n resolu-
ton In favor of restriction, by tariff or other
wise. Of the trade relations with enemy countries

When Nobel Cut His Einuer.

The great war might be traced back
to Nobel's cut finger, E. f. Slosson
writes in the New York Independent.
Alfred Nobel was Swedish chemist
land a pacifist. One day while work
ing in the laboratory he cut his finger.
as chemists are apt to do, and again
as chemists are apt to do, he dissolved
some guncotton in ether alcohol and
swabbed it on the wound. At this
point, however, his conduct DIVORCES
from the ordinary, for instead of stand
Ing idle. impatiently waving his hand
in the air to dry the film as most peo-
pie, including chemists. are apt to do,
he put his mind on it and 1t occurred
to him that this sticky stuff. slowly
hardening to an elastic mass, might
be just the thing he was hunting as
an absorbent and solidifer of nitro
glycerin. So instead of throwing away
the extra collodion that he had made
he mixed it with nitroglycerin and
found that it set to jelly. The "blast-
ing gelatin. thus discovered proved to
be so insensitive to shock that it could
be safely transported or fired from a
cannon. This was the first of the
high explosives that have been the
chief factor in the great war.
