bers of the Town Council according to the

Commission in Germany will prohibit the
shipment of materials from Germany to
Argentina, or any other neutral country
if such countries insist in trying to buy
munitions. This announcement was made
in British official circles here today. 1t

gentina to the Allied reminder that the
Versailles treaty prohibits Germany from
manufacturing or exporting war materi-
ais, no drastic measures had been needed

rpctlv to the Council OF the League Of
Nations demands that all Allied and
Associated Powers be given equal op-
portunities in mandate territories. 1t
was announced today at the State De-
partment that in a note virtually iden-
tical with the one on It's subject, sent
to the British Government in NOvem-
Der had been despatched to the Coun-
ell. which, is in session in Paris. De-
cision to act on this question, nOtWith-
standing the early change of admins
trations, was predicted, upon the under
standing that the Council contemplated
immediate action on mandates, such
as those in Mesopotamia and Palestine.
While no reply has been received from
Great Britain, it has been officl lily stated
that the British Govt. was preparing an
ansW er that would go far towards salts
fying the United States contentious that
equal OPPORTUNITIES. 1t has been sug-
gested that Sir Auckland Geddes, who re.
turned to the United States today after
consulting with the Foreign Office in
London, has been empowered to convey
the ideas of his Govt. on the subject.
Officials of the Department declined to
say fir what quarter the intlmation
came that the question should be taken
direct to the League, but it is believed it
came from Great Britain, and that the
returning British Ambassador bore the
message. In his note to Lord Curzon,
Mr.. Colby said the United States did not

Ship Subsidies Proposed

The news that President Harding is favorable to
plan for ship subsidies will not surprise anyone who
is familiar with the facts
The United States now possesses great sea going
merchant marine. but those ships built under
conditions and for the they would have
been built Moreover, they cannot continue to operate
competition with the ships of foreign nations unless
there is some way to make up the difference in their
expenses compared with the expenses Of their
competitors.
If the American people desire foreign outlet for
their surplus products undr favorable conditions they
must maintain the American mercantile marine If
they want American shipping under the American flag
they must establish and maintain sort of sub
sidy system If they do not want subsidies they cannot
have ships in the trade
An experience of half century, in which American
ships were driven from the highways is sufficient
proof of the folly OF thinking that American ships can
be kept on the ocean by theories speeches.
