Up at the Columbia on F Street

the bill weekly for a stock COM

good friend Theodore Hardy was

Every one should know how to

forded. Boys who have not developed
skill in the art OF swimming should
avail themselves OF the opportunity

LAST
IN A
SERIES

GliC Vi VIC
World War outlined long recognized
legal right of neutrals to deal in war
materials. And American firms sold
hundreds Of million dollars worth to
the entente allies before we joined the
struggle,
Would Embargo Arms.
The way the United States Com
mittee on War Information saw it,
if we had refused to sell munitions to
the belligerents we could never in time
of war of our own obtain munitions
from neutrals.
But the Pittman resolution, recently
passed overwhelmingly by the Senate,
puts mandatory embargo upon ship
ments Of arms, ammunition and i'm
plements of war to belligerent nations.
Furthermore, 1t gives the President
discretionary authority to add other
materials to the embargo list If he
thinks such shipment might endanger
neutrality.
The sinking by German subma-
rine of the British liner Lusitania in
May. 1915, with loss OF 1,150 men,
women and children, ia of them
Americans, probably did more to
arouse anti-German feeling in the
United States than any other one
thing.
Now the Pittman measure would
forbid American citizens to travel on
belligerent ships following proclama-
ton by the President Of state of
war between foreign nations.
Before the United States entered
the war flnanciers in this country
loaned millions to allied governments.
The Pittman bill prohibits loans or
credits to belligerent nation.
The new plan would not forbid
American vessels trading with belliger-
ents in commodities that were not
enlarged, but would make that trad
Ing wholly at the risk of the ship
owner. Cash would have to be paid
and the title to all commodities trans
ferred from American citizens to for
eigners before the goods reached the
dock for shipments. Once they had
left American ports the United States
would have no duty to protect them
in transit.
Arming of merchant ships, which
President Wilson urged also would be
forbidden.
