What will he the result of the latest
note to the German government can
not be conjectured hut that the forci
ble presentation of the attitude of the
T'nlted States in regard to the rights
lof neutrals will make an Important
■ hunter in the history of the country.
'Vgardless of the result. Is a matter
concerning which there can in* no
dAubt. President Wilson while tem
perate in language and displaying an
evident patience with the situation, has
noiV set forth with friendly hut forcible
clarity the full position of the govern
ment, regarding the jeopardizing of
neutral lives, through informing Ger
many that the United States intends to
regard as deliberately unfriendly any
repetition of the acts of the German
naval commanders that ire in contra
vention of American rights. While this
is exceedingly strong language and, in
certain aspects might well tie con
sidered as in the nature of an ultl-l
matum. it is indicated that it is not the
Intention to place the matter in such
posture that a failure on the part of
Germany to conform to tjie letter of
tlie American commulncation will re
sult in n break with that country. On
the contrary, a careful consideration of
the salient features of the note leads
to the belief that it is the President's
aim to place the matter in such light
that there can he no further doubt as
to the entire seriousness of the Ameri
can attitude and the determination of
i the government to insist, even to the
i extent of ultimately employing force.
in upholding the rights of neutrals to
, the freedom of the seas. The state
ment that "the United States will con
tinue to contend for tlie freedom of the
seas, from whatever quarter violated,
without compromise and at any cost,”
ran leave no doubt as to the Intention
of the government to support, its con
tentions and in stating the matter in
this form the attitude is,so clearly de
fined that none hut the willfully blind
t can fail to understand. Judging from
, tlie attitude of Germany toward the
previous notes, nothing short of a most
foreihle declaration of principles and
Intentions can overcome the failure of
disinclination of that government to
face the issue squarely. The position
of the United States has iieen estab
lished in admirable fashion and tli*
contentions and intentions in regard to
the matters under dispute set forth In
a manner which admits of no further
quibbling or evasion. It is, therefore,
to he hoped that Germany will now
come to accept the view that tlie
United States, while not desirous of
inviting conflict, is nevertheless ttrmly
determined on her course and cannot
he put off by uncertain tactics or the
subtilties of diplomacy.
The announcement that toils deriv -
ed from shipping through the Panama
canal are barely sufficient to pay the
costs of operation of the administrative
department while disquieting <*hnnot be
considered as other than inevitlble un
der the present commercial depression
due to the influence' created by tlie
great war. According to the most re
liable information obtainable, the gen
eral volume of the world’s commercial
traffic has fallen off nearly one fourth
during the period of strife, while the
Imports and exports of certain coun-l
tries upon which the T'nited States was
compelled to depend for a •large part of
the revenues of the canal have fallen
away in a much greater degree. The
elimination of tile immense volume of
overseas traffic of the German nation
alone seriously afreets the canal as, it
will he remembered, that Germanv was
oni of the largest carrier nations of
[the globe prior to tile beginning of hos
tilities. According to the same infor
mation. the volume of British traffic
with the Orient shows a most decided
decrease, and as a large portion of such
traffic was expected to pass through
the canal, this also probably would
have formed, under normal conditions,
a large portion of the canal revenues.
Aside from the loss of the traffic of the
principal carrier nations, the general
depressions throughout the world both
industrial and commercial have had a
part in reducing the income of the ca
nal. There is. therefore, little reason
to doubt that the resumption of normal
conditions will immediately result in
placing the canal on a paying basis.
