Freedom of the Seas

This is an abstruse subject, and
some of our people are asking why
President Wilson has male it one
of the most important of the famous
Id points of peace.
The reason is this For the past
century the peace-lovine powers
have endeavored to establish the
precedent that in time Of war Deu.
trail countries have a right to carry
on with each other their usual law
ful trade over the sea routes. This
right has practically disappeared in
this war; International law gov
erning sea commerce has been
wiped out.
The Germans began it by their
outrageous attacks upon neutral
shipping Then the situation was
greatly aggravated by the clandeS-
tine trade carried on by several
neutral powers with Germany. The
imports of those countries jumped
to unprecedented figures. This
showed that vast amounts of our
products, nominally destined for
these countries, weie in reality
merely bought to ship into Ger
many. This drove the British gov.
eminent to extremes, and led it to
make a practice of overhauling
neutral vessels. to determine how
far they were carrying on a leeiti
mate neutral trade, and how far
they were doing an illicit business
with Germany.
AS a result all of these conditions
neutral commerce has been greatly
interferred with Its rights and ob
legations should be more definitely
defined and guaranteed.
If there are more wars, and il
these chaotic conditions on the sea
continue, the United States is much
more likely to become embroiled
And at any rate our normal trade
and business will be greatly inter
ferred with The world cannot set
tie down to peace and security un
less some better regulation o
neutral commerce can be developed
This is the problem that Presiden
Wilson is working upon, and it is
vital matter. T..
