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.

HOW TO ENFORipE TB8ATI?S
European socialists have a Dian for
compelling the observance of treaties.
?s set forth by Kidgar Mtlhand, .pro*
fessor of International law In tb,e Uni
versity of Geneva/. SwlUerJand/. . tho
way to maketreaties sacred' is to
relieve all slghatort?? ..'4fr 'fftf [treaty
of-;(a&v. obligation toward'.: a- irt^ajw
ot it" ; i : 7/. > v Vf-v-Vi'.^V:'
How this plan weald : work".'^^
empllfled by the case pf Belgium. He
explains that, when Germany vtolat-i
ed the treaty guaranteeing Belgium's
neutrality, all ute other natlcnct that
parties '"tnthat- 'treaty > would
hiveturneo,.against - her., Belglnni
jrould Wi?^een'^?ed^ot e^iy by
a*d'.ln"Bl??Kfet::?v?:-H,,lier
neutral neighbors. It would.be ?
fectiyproper*-'^f\ff^n??w?M6ll
to let tho BrlUBh pass through hi
territory toiretcue Bolgium. 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.
