ENGLAND'S VITAL WEAKNESS.
Should the recent 1> expressed plan
"f the (hiin.ins to throw a cordon of
submarine vessels around the Hritish
isles becomes a reality, and if such
form of blockade will be as effective
as might t»e supposed, the position of
Kngiand will indeed t>e critical Kng
iand, of herself, produces practicall)
nothing in the way of comestibles, at
least m keepijtg with the needs «»f her
population mil thus is forced to draw
upon the markets of the world for the
bulk of her subsistence, and is also in
practically the same position as re
cards tin* various other commoditiesj
in tlie shape of raw products upon
which her industrial prosperity de- j
pends. Hence it follows that the
crippling of her commerce is a blow at
her very heart, and one that she can
not well sustain for even a eompara
lively short time. Before the advent
of the submarine the world dominating
power of her mighty lleet insured her
freedom from attack in this regard,
but with the development of this now
and seemingly invulnerable terror of
the sea even the overwhelming might
of her powerful naval battalions is
rendered negative and she is brought
fe«e to face with u danger which may
threaten her ultimate destruction, nut
only as a world power, but also as a
nation. Without an open gateway to
the markets of the world Kngland is
lost, and It is safe to assume that if
Uermany can put the proposed plan
into effect for even a few weeks the
resultant crippling of her sources of
energy, not considering the inevitable
starvation of her people, will compel
her withdrawal as a factor In the war.
At present it would seem that the pos
sibility of avoiding this ultimate lies
in the. probable inability of Germany
to put Into practice what she has
proposed rather than in any measure
1 that Britain can command to prevent
I11' _ _
As there seems to he a singular di
versity of ideas concerning the "neu
trality and contraband" questions at
present, the following article, which
i« the substance of a circular letter
issued by the State Bepartment Oct.
24 last, will undoubtedly be of consid
erable interest as it clearly derin>s the
meaning of national neutrality and
also governmental liability as regards
contraband goods Also the question
has been asked as to whether or not
the Fnited States was not permitting
a violation of neutrality In ignoring
the shipment to Canada of manifestly
contraband goods and, as will he seen
| it is answered in the negative
"Generally speaking, a citizen of the
fnited States can sell to a belligerent
government or its agent any article of
commerce which he pleases He is not
prohibited from doing this by any rule
1 of international law. by any treaty pro
! visions, or by any statute of the fnited
■ States. It makes no dlfferbrne whether
| the articles sold are exclusively for war
purposes, such as firearms, explosives,
etc . or are foodstuffs, clothing, horses,
etc . for the use of the army or navy of
the belligerent.
"Furthermore, a neutral government
is not compelled by international law
by treaty, or by statute to prevent
these sales to n belligerent Such sales
therefore, by American citizens, do not
in the least affect the neutrality of the
fnited States.
"It is true that such articles :in those
mentioned are considered contraband
and are, outside the territorial Jurisdic
tion of a neutral nation subject to seiz
ure by an enemy of i he purchasing
government, but it is the enemy’s duty
to prevent the articles'reaching their
destination, not the duty of the nation
whose citizens have sold them. If
I ' "
the enemy of the purchasing na
tion happens for the time to he unable to
do this, that is for him one of the mis
fortunes of war. tile inability. however,
imposes on the neutral government no
obligation to prevent the sale
“Neither the President nor any ex
oeutlve department of the government
possesses the legal authority to inter
fere in any way with trade between
the people of this country and the ter
ritory of a belligerent. There ts no act
of Congress conferring such authority
or prohibiting traffic of this sort with
Ruropean nations, although in the case
of neighboring American republics.
Congress lias given the President pow
er to proclaim an embargo on arms
and ammunition when in his judg
ement it would tend to prevent civil
strife.
“For the government of the United
States itself to sell to a belligerent na
tion would be an utnieiitral act. but for
ft private individual to sell to a bellg
erent any product of the United States
is neither unlawful o runneutral, nor
within the power t>f tlie Rxecntivc t"|
prevent or control.
“The foregoing remarks, however, do
not apply to the outfitting or furnish
ing of vessels in American ports or of
military expeditions on American soil
In aid of a belligerent. These acts ai.
prohibited by flie neutrality laws cf
the United states."
