 In the neutral countries we were subjected to sort of moral blockade ! The way to the soul of the neutrals was barred to us. We had not the means to open it. We alone did wrong: everything that the entente did was morally right and the obvious course to follow.

 ENGLAND AS PROPAGANDIST
 Propaganda was an old and powerful weapon in England's hands. The East India company had striking success with it in the conquest of India. They set up schools in England England was the only country that long ago had employed this weapon of politics and war with clear vision. and on a really large scale. in the service of it's national world -encircling policy.
 ''To threaten foreign countries with the aid of revolution has for many years been the policy@of England" said Bismarck so years ago He was think ing of the speech of Canning on De- cember 11. 1926. in which that prime Tinister threatened in a public sittne Of the house of commons that England controlled the winds of Eeolus and could al any time unchain the powers of revolution

 (Cannng in dealing with the pro- posal to make war against Spain on the side of Portugal. said:
 lf into that war this country shall he compelled to enter we shall enter into it with sincere and anxious de- sire to mitigate rather than exasperate and to mingle only in the conflict of arms. and not in the more fatal con flict of opinions But I much fear that this country. however earnestly she may endeavor to avoid it. could not in such case, avoid seeing ranked under her banners all the restless and dissat- isfied of any nation with which she might come into conflict"

 Even before the war careful watch era had clearly obskrved the propa- sandist activities of our present enemies They were then already work ing systematically against us. It was mainly their propaganda that England and France had to thank for the suc- cess of their policy oi undermining our position in the world. The disarma- ment proposals of the Tsar were their handiwork. and well adapted to the nndiscriminating credibility of many circles in Germany.

PRICES FLUCTUATE
IN COTTON MARKET
Increases Of Profit Taking and
Southern Pressure Cause
Late Heayiness.

Fluctuations on the cotton market
were yesterday within q somewhat re-
stricted range, and on the whole its
tone was not as steady as it might have
been. Until the last hour there was
enough support to hold the list above
last previous final levels. but In, reased
profit taking and pressure by Southern
houses caused considerable heaviness in
later trading. Most operators seemed
inclined to wait for fresh developments
before entering commitments, as there
was yesterday little news of Importance.
Bears laid stress on more favorable
weather over tie belt, but the bullish
argument that the strike situation
everywhere was improved about offset
that theory. Bulls pointed also to ad-
vance In sterling and the National Gin
ners Association estimate, placing the
condition Of the growing crop at 6s.3
per cent. of normal. In some parts of
the belt heavy rains were recorded, and
longs naturally made the most Of that
fact. But for all that support was not

sessions and prices were constantly un-

In the Liverpool market a fairly good
tone was evident, with spots steady on
sales of 5000 bales. Futures there were

MAY RESUME FIRE
RISKS FOR ROADS
Larger Companies Said to
Have Been Notified to Be
Ready to Take Up Business.

II was learned yesterday in authorita-
tive quarters that some of the larger
insurance companies which have carried
the fire insurance of some of the rail-
roads have been notified from Washing
ton to be prepared at any time to take
up such risks again. While no official
announcement to that effect was forth
coming, Il Is known that some leading
insurance brokers have received hints
and that in some cases steps are being
taken to make ready to handle railroad
fire insurance once more This is taken
In insurance circles to indicate that the
owners within a comparatively short
space of time is contemplated.
One insurance broker through whom
a large volume of railroad business is
placed declared yesterday that he had
received several inquiries from the larger
roads as to rates, No.. and that he had had
inquiries direct from the Shipping Board
as to placing insurance on floating stock
owned by railroads. such as barges.
ferryboats, scows, &C. Nothing direct
in the way of insurance for rolling stock
or other operating equipment has been
written, he said, by any company which
ne represents.
When the United States Railroad Ad-
ministration assumed control of the rail-
roads all fire insurance policies were al
lowed to expire without renewal except
when a contract was in force between a
railroad and an insurance company. The
Government preferred to carry its own
fire risk. believing that IL could be done
more cheaply than the payment of
premiums to companies. Practically all

CORN PRICES MOVE
WITH IRREGULARITY
Varying Weather Reports
Have Different Effects on
Market Moves.
DEALING IN NARROW LINE
Oats Show Tendency to Fol

> visions Are Dull.
DEALING IN NARROW LINE

The corn market was nervous and
irregular yesterday. The nervousness
was due TO the weather. Moves were al
most wholly contingent on some weather
news. Reports that the drought had not
been checked caused early buying, and
later speculation on precipitation was re-
sponsible for the selling The close was
easier. Forecasts of favorable weather,
even with cool temperatures, were encour-
aging to the longs. who bought eagerly.
But about noon the trade began to con-
slider that dry weather, like continuous
rain, had an end. And while the weather
for to-day may be favorable there IL
good chance that rain will fall before
Monday. That opinion was looked on
with much confidence, even though 1t
was a gamblers chance. When clouds
were reported lowering over some or the
middle Western States their hopes were
raised. There were ALSO reports that
rain had fallen In Utah, the first in three
months. Crop reports still continue OPP
tlmistic. 1t is claimed that the crop can
continue for about week without pre-
.cipitation and not deteriorate. It Is as
serted also that the crop Is in the most
advanced stage in.which It has been at
this season during the last several years.
Trading was quiet and the market
narrow, The market resolved itself into
two sided affair, with neither side appar-
emily caring to make any headway. Ad-
vices from the Argentine told Of con-
tinued strength In the grains there, due
mostly to the large export demand. 1t

they cannot be expected to move corn.

Oats were irregular, showing ten
dency to follow corn. Commission houses
were on both sides OF the market. Early
buying was attributed to the dry weather
and selling in the afternoon was due to
the belief that rain was imminent. Crop
deterioration is believed generally to
have been discounted. There being no
change in the foreign financial situation
and the marine labor strike no export
