TRADE PAPERS
 AGAINST POLICY
Sharply Criticise Govern ments Stand on Question
 Of Importation.

London. March B - Free trade newsl@,ers are sharply criticising the governments policy regarding i'm portations. as disclosed hy Sir Auck- land F. Geddes, minister for rational service and reconstruction. in the House of Commons on Monday He said that all imporcacior8 of manu- factured and gerni-mar Ufactured commodities whicI are permitted to enter Great Britain will be controlled by a system of special licenses until Sept l, when the question Will be re- viewed.
 The newspapers denOunce th-s pro posal as an attempt to introduce pro lection without any mandate from the voters, insist that a great ma+ori V Of voters are opposed 10 d protective system, and declare that England is still a free trade country at heart They say that Great Britain gained her commercial and financial supre- macy through free trade and can hold it only by free trade"
 One point on which 1lawspa pers of all shades and views on the ta-af are agreed is that after British man ufacturers and merchants have en- joyed the sort of protection afforded them by the license system, the vested interests will have been up- built, or at least fostered which will make it difficult to revert to a free trade basis.
 From -he viewpoint of importers, the license system handicaps them with all the disadvantages of a pro tecdve tariff without it's stabiNzIng virtue of certainty. They say that with protective tariff of 30 or 50 per cent, or any specific rate, hey would know where they stand and might adjust their prices and do busi- ness in accordance with well known conditions. At present. they do w know whether to plan to do any bus mess, because they cannot count on being prohibited altogether from making imports.

LONELY OFFICER
 IS IN GERMANY

Coblenz, March 13-Correspondenc of The Asso ciated Press s)-In a great castle onH hill and with a count and countess and their four daughters as his nearest neighbors dweus today the lonesomest American in all the OCCu- pied territory of Germany. He is Lieutenant John W. Scott, of Detroit commanding Company K, 28th Infan- try, On outpost duty at the stepping off place Of the CobIenz bridgehead where it skirts a, beautiful valley stretching away toward Berlin
 Just across the hallway from the quarters of the Lieutenant on the sec ond floor oT the castle, Count and Countess vOn WalderdOrf have been allowed to remain by courtesy of army officers. But the Germans keep to themselves, looking upon the Americans as invaders, and an army anti-fratern rnization order prohibits Lieutenant Scott from visiting them.
 On the first floor of the castle fifty American soldiers have their beds and mess and a large living room where they play cards and enjoy each others company during the long win ter evenings and tell of their war ez- periences. and of all the wonderful things they intend to do when they get home again. Lieutenant Scott spends his evenings, alone, devouring book after book.
 Visitors are few at this furthermOst outpost across the Rhine twenty miles from Coblenz. During the day the If1utenant makes his rounds. visiting one sentinel after another, always alone. At the foot of the hill crowned by the castle of Molsberg is the village of MoIsberg of which Lieutenant Scott is military com raan6er. but he talks to the towns people only on questions of business And 50. day after day, the Lieutenant meets no one excepting his soldiers and the civilians on routine matters oI the day.
 The meals of this Ioneliest of Americans are served in his quarters where he dimes. alone, with Eiddy green warrior tapestry figures gazing down upon him from their places on the walls just where they were hung som mething like three hundred years ago. The figures Of one panel picture Q gay and jolly party and all the others suggest com ranionship in some form.
 The officer has q telephone which reaches to AIontabaur, the First Dl,i- sion headt.1arters, but iIs use Is re stricted to business only. There are other conveniences too including cleo tric light and running water and wonderful stove reaching halfway to the ceiling and at the bottom the old German makers name and the date l764 But to the lonely Lieutenant even the fire in the stove sometimes seems almost cold
 Lieutenant Scott's nearest Arnert- can officer neighbOr is five or six ,,,;1ae z.y,-.s1- 0l7t a cross the eight thou sand acres owned by the Count. Ali ter dark visits are out of the ques- ton. And so when overcome by lone someness, and weariness from read ing, the Lieutenant tumbles into seventeenth century bed which stands in the same position it has been all these years And within easy reach is the telephone by which he knows eventually will come the welcome news for which so long he has been Eging-''Weve been ordered home!'
