Wilson's reply to the kalsers letter
of the autumn Of 1911 in which the
latter appealed to Americas sense OF
justice with regard to the Belgian
atrocities, gave food for thought.
America was led by economic interests
even more ard more to the side of the
entente, for England had surrendered
80 her the position she had hitherto
enjoyed as the first capitalistic power
in the world The entente was deeply
in Americas debt. and their defeat
would have involved her in heavy loss
The attitude of the United States IN
regard to the question of the supply
of munitions left no doubt about their
sided conception of neutrality
England's monstrous violations or IN
ternational law at sea were only pos
sible as long as American connived
at them. In conversation at the for
eigr office several years before the
war l was assured that America would
never agree ito such tactics. We reclx-
oned with certainty ON Unlimited inn
porto through Holland.
AS matter of fact, the American
government did actually raise objec-
lions to the arbitrary methods OF Eng
lish naval warfare. The American
note of protest on March 80, 1915, was
couched in serious language. 1t as
serted in unequivocal terms that the
so-calied British blockade was IAN
almost UNQUALIFIED denial OF the SOW
ereiRn rights of the nations now at
peace" and continued with the warn
ing that to tolerate England's pro-
cedure in this respect would be to as
sumo IAN attitude OF unneutrality TO
the present enemies of Great Britain
which would be obviously inconsist-
ept with the solemn obligations Of
this (the u. S. Al government in the
present circumstances"
This declaration was perfectly plain.
A second American note of November
s, 1918, emphasized the fact that the
so-called blockade of March IL of the
same year must be considered ineffGc-
tive and therefore illegal Both pro-
tests were bluntly rejected by Eng

NEEDED, SAYS EDGE
Number Of Amendments
Are Adopted to Export
Finance Bill by
the Senate
BY Associated Pros.

Washington. September 6.-Necessity for
the Sterilization of foreign exchange and
the extension of credits abnoad as a
means of furthering American CONNER
cial interests was emphasized in the Sem
ate today, when the report finance bill of
Senator Edge, republican, New Jersey,
was taken up
After adopting number of amendments
to the measure, the Senate adjourned I'M
IL Monday when the discussion will be
resumed.
The bill prepared by the federal reserve
board and approved by Secretary Glass
and a number of leading financiers OF
the country, provides for the formation
of banking corporations and for their
financing so as to enable them to dc
business abroad
Considerable opposition to the measure
was expressed by Senators Smoot, Utah;
Gronna, North Dakota; Lenroot, Wis
consin. and others. They objected par
ticularly to what they said were the al
most unlimited powers granted by the bill
to the proposed financial corporations
and urged that limitations be provided
by which they would be subject to the
banking laws as are other financial in
situations.
The Senate went on record as opposing
control of the corporations. BY unani-
nous vote it adopted an amendment by
Senator Root requesting all members OF
the board of directors instead of ina
jority." as proposed, be American citi-
zens The Senate also amended the bill
SO as to require the corporations to en-
gage entirely in foreign banking ant
other financial operations, instead OF

II don't think there ought to be a for

Smoot in offering the amendment.

the organizations they should be required
| to hold complete control, but Senators
Smoot and Edge termed this as imprac

afraid if this were done foreigners might
attempt to retaliate''
| Senator Smoot called attention to pro
pcsals which he said have been made BY
British officials that as soon as the
league Of nations has been approved, the
English pound note has been made lega
tender in America the American dollar
would be made legal tender in England.

the late America ambassador in Lon,
don, wrote on April 7. 1917. to Earl Grey:

the beginning that while for the time
being we might better serve the cause
of the allies by remaining neutral and
supplying all that we could in the
way OF arms and munitions, and, |

neutral right was; that nevertheless
when by entering into the war with
all our might and with the aid of all
our 'boundiess resources we could help
to bring it to an end in the right
way by the complete suppression of
Prussian militarism and the triumph
of civilization, it would be our duty
to do SO. That time has now come
And on June the American Admiral
Sims spoke as follows in London:
In 1910. when our fleet visited Eng
land l made a small but very un-
diplomatic speech. In that
speech | expressed an opinion which
is now being translated into ac-
ton. This is what ! said I'm

STOCKHOLDERS WHO
 SOLD STOCK GIVEN
 THEM NAY BE TRIED

Another angle of the affairs of the Texas Globe Gas and Oil company, now in the courts, developed yesterday afternoon when it was stated at the attorney generals office that crirn- inal complaints against some of the stockholders who sold stock under alleged false pretenses which had been given them, would probably be filed.
 It has developed according to in- formation in the hands of the attor- ney generals office that a number of local people who were possessed of stock which had been presented to them, had sold the stock to other peo- pie under the assumption that the money obtained was to be used in the development of the property. It is alleged that this money was not turned over to the company as the st5ck sold was private property, and the com pany was in no way concerned with it
 A peculiar phase of the situation is that some of the stock alleged to have been sold under false pretenses found market in the attorney generals q flee II was stated there yesserda ( that word had reached Phoenix that all work had stopped on the companys property. N z
