In Economic War,
British Believe
Control at Source in
Keeping Goods From

Nv WILLIAM H. STONEMAN

chicaso Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
LONDON, Jan. 30.-One Of the
first matters to occupy the atten-
ton of the American and British
administrations in the immediate
future will be the problem of how
the United States can back up Brit
aims economic war against the axis
to the same extent that it is now
supporting her other, and more vio-
lent, war against the enemy.
Economic experts are now work.
ing on this problem in the con-
viction that American cooperation
in the blockade of Germany is just
as vital for victory as the delivery
of American war materials to Brit
ain. While, they point out, the
delivery of American armaments
may be delayed, economic help Of
this kind could start tomorrow
The picture as they paint it is
as follows:
While the United States is TAX
ing drastic measures to expand and
organize its war industry, 1t is still
almost completely lacking in ma
chinery for the prosecution of eco
nonic warfare on the scale now re-
quired.
Want Control at Source.
AS the British now see it, economic
warfare is no longer principally
question of sheer blockade, involving
wholesale search and seizure of
-, &c Of
last summer reduced the allied fleet
by nearly half and increased the
enemy's coastline 500 per cent,
classical blockade has become physi-
cally impossible. Consequently, the
British have been forced to resort
to control at the source" and it is
in this business that they require
the urgent assistance of the Ameri-
cans.
The machinery for the execution
of such control is almost as COM
picated as the series of diplomatic
difficulties to which it is bound to
lead.
Organizational requirements, as
they might affect the United States,
would include:
l. Export control.
The United States now has no
comprehensive licensing system to
control the export on all materials
and products useful in war. While
the United States does prohibit the
export of certain items, it freely
allows the export of others which
are equally vital These include
lead, radium, cotton. all petroleum
products except aviation gasoline
and high grade lubricats, auto tires
and oil drilling machinery.
All these things are now reach

ing Germany and italy by devious
means.
The British are particularly per-
turbed about the continued export
Of American cotton to the Soviet
Union. These imports and they
alone the British insist, make it
possible for Russia to fulfill its
agreement to increase cotton ex-
ports to Germany.
In 1887 and 1888 the Soviet, &C
cOrding to its own statistics, i'm
ported 10000 tons of cotton. I'M
ports from the United States totaled
1000 tons, in 1887. AS far as is
known here, Russia did not import
any cotton between September, 1899,
and October, 1910. But, between
October Is, 1910. and January 1,
194l. Russia imported $4,000 tons
from the United States alone.
Under the new Soviet German
agreements, it is further pointed out,
the Soviet certainly agreed to send
at least as much to Germany as last
year when, it is estimated, Germany
received between 10000 and 100000
tons.
Likewise, 1t is insisted here, Amer
lean exports of oil drilling machinery
and tubing to the Soviet Union are
highly instrumental In making it
possible for the Soviets to fulfill its
agreement to increase its oil exports
to Germany.
Preclusive Purchasing.
2. An arrangement for "preclusive
purchasing or "pre-emptive buy
ing"
This would make 1t possible to
buy up certain products. particularly
OF South American origin. which
otherwise might be bought by the
Germans, or oy the japanese and
Russians on their behalf. Such pur-
chasing must be effected carefully
in order to avoid boosting of prices
or simply resulting in increased pro-
duction. But it is hoped that the
Americans might reduce German
supplies by pre-emptive purchases
of copper, mercury. lead scrap, nom
ferrous metals, industrial diamonds,
mica, crystals, wool, cotton, hides
and castor seed, the source of high
grade lubricants. The British frank

 Bush liinas are of two classes, large ard small seeded: the former bearing larger beans, but fewer of them. The small seeded limas have been improved recently, and new varieties have larger beans, while still producing them abundantly. For the home garden. it iS best to consult your preference.
 Small seeded bush liinas mature in about 05 days, large seeded bush and pole limas in about 30 days. As they cannot be sown until late spring in most states, the harvest comes late. Pole Drnas have Q long season of yield, and will provide beans for the table until frost kills the vines.

Rich, dark green leaves of lima beans form one of the best of cov- erings for @ garden fence, and the pole varieties bear @ heavy crop of luxury food in the late summer and early fall.
 Lima beans should never be planted before the ground warns up; they will decay without sprout- ing in cold soil. The seeds are so large they are easily spaced, and should be planted with eye down to facilitate quick growth. Otherwise they must turn over underground in order to grow, and some of them may not make 1t.
