British Naval Officer Says
London Merchants Helped
ProIong War,
SOLD GOODS TO GERMANY
Wilson Made Bitter Protests
at Practice and Govern

By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Times Staff Correspondent


w T ASHINGTON, July IA book
~ entitled THE Triumph of I'm
W armed Forces" by Rear Ad-
miral Consett, British naval attache
in Scandinavia during the war, has
stood John Bull on his ear.
The first two or three copies of
this book, privately sent over from
England, have reached Washington.
Rear Admiral Consett openly
charges the British government with
having allowed British merchants to
sell war, materials, knowing these
ware going straight into Germany,
where they We're used against Britain
and her allies.
At the same time Great Britain was
loudly protesting against the United
States carrying on trade with neutral
countries bordering on Germany. on
the ground Germany was profting
thereby.
Consett charges while London pro-
tested against the SHIPMENT of cotton
to these border States, British dealers
themselves were selling cotton to Den
mark. Norway and Sweden, with the
knowledge and consent of their gov
eminent. From these countries the
cotton went Immediately to Germany,
where it was manufactured into high
explosives and other war materials.
In the same way. he says, oils and
fats. copper. tin, zinc, nickel fodder
and lubricants We're sold into Ger
many by the British.
Had Britain put a stop to this
traffic, Consett declares. Germany
could have been beaten to her knees
long before she was. He dubs the in
cident "the greatest blunder or the
greatest crime in history"
1t is recalled President Wilson was
fully informed Of what was going on
and was openly angered by the blind
in-one-eye attitude OF the British gov
eminent. He made It the subject of
a number OF very hot protests.
