UBAT1TPDE TO EMOLA KD A citizen who disapproves of tho critical attitude thc United States has taken toward Great Britain reminds us that our expert? huve increased about 100 per cent und our i ..-,%.! '?!.. trade balance nearly 300 per cent. And thin, lin auys, la "tho gift which thc British Heel bas made to Ameri CU'" itt Ho seems to think it highly un grateful of us, then, to demand that Great Britain stop Interfering with such of our export trude as she dis approves of. It's a curious sort of reasoning! There's no question that our great] increase of exports to tho Aille? has been facilitated by British control of the sea. Hut for ol! that, it doesn't follow that we owe Great Britain.}?py particular debt. If Bhe has protected our exporta, it ls because she hus v, an i i?l them just as badly aS "wo wanted to sell them to her. Her fleet bes been used solely ^or her own purpoaea-only incidentally for our advantage. Her real r-.uifve appears in the fact that tho niomem. there is any question a* iz whether a cargo IB <lc?tlned to benefit the Allies or~Tiot, England solves tho problem by hold ing it up or conflscatlng it, regard less of law and precedent. If naval conditions were reversed, and Qermany controlled th?.- aeas, the exports now going to the Allies in i such volume would naturally go to tho Gcrmau -powers. In that case we should not owo Germany any more gratitude than wo now owe Eoglam'; for she, too, would morely bc using | uer fleet for her own designs. .It -Isn't' a?parent, that In this war wo' owe' much gratitude to any bel ligerent. We might add that some of tho belligerents ought to be grateful to us. But with - the- exception of Belgium, none of them havo shown any such disposition. FA BM COMMUNITIES .-j-''J' ..

Jt Would ^^':,.i^p^,':'^'::'''iSwiu{ertand to let armfcH pass through her territory to uttack Germany, in punishment for a treaty Germany had broken. It seems to follow, thut the way to insure the peaco of Europe'would be to have all the nations sign treaties guaranteeing each other's territory and essontial rights. And then if any of thc nations dared to commit any aggression against another, the rest would automatically combine against her, under the sanction of law. Till;; plan ue?i?M somewhat simiiur to tho one advocated by Col Roosevelt -the policing of Europe by a group of powers under pledge to attack, jointly, any nation that should break tbo peace. The socialist plan io broader, however, in that it aims to take id all the nations, large and small. A LINE o' DOPE Weather Forecast-Fair Thursday; Friday partly cloudy.
