NOME, ALASKA. JULY 27, 1916.
Allhough the press reports indicate
a prospect of serious friction with
ili-.il Britain omi the mail seizures
ml Iso the blacklisting of American
business firms which refused to obey
the British command to dispose of
their wares only in such markets as
a, designated by the British coun
cil, there is, doubtless, no reason for
anyone to feel unens>. There is hard
ly a prospect that anything will de
lop out of the controversy that may
Is- looked upon as seriously jeopardiz
ing our pence and security.
Our complaisant government will
sci to il that nothing that England
docs will be allowed to disturb the
•'harmony” at present existing be
tfjeen that nation and the United
Ktatis; rest assured of that. There
will be a few notes exchanged, some
of till lit, perhaps, couched in "sassy”
terms, but if dear old England re
mains obduiatt we will hush up like
good children and say no more about
it. There won't be any war -at least •
while the present administration holds
the reins.
» If Cfermany or Austria, or doubtless I
any other nation lint Britain. had I
I.ecu the offenders, there would prob- j
ably be a frightful hullabaloo and war
clouds would gather swift and low if
they did not come to time in a hurry.
Had (e rmany. for instance, seized the
mails. continuously and repeatedly
and in spite of warnings, as England
has done, or if she had blacklisted our
exporters because they neglected to
do as the kaiser commanded, or made
ns secure permission to trade with J
Whom We phased, we would mighty
soon haul out the ancient “chip," place
il oil our shoulder and commence to
tell about the things that would ‘'hap
pen to tlermany if—We wouldn't
he the least bit backward about either
protests or actions. U'e would bully
and bulldoze and threaten war until
we had our way and there would not
be a particle of "bluff" about it either.
\\ i would be out for business at the
drop of the hat. Our famous notes
would breathe profound indignation in
every line and the public would be
carefully educated to an exact appre
ciation of the terrible things that Ger
many had done to us—how she was
abusing tiie principles of international
law: infringing upon our sacred
rights: trampling upon our privileges
as a neutral power and otherwise
monkey ing with our dignity as a great
and humane nation. Not one ioto of
i be evidence would be withheld and
ibe tar pot would work overtime
painting her sins as black as the
pit. Wo would be told witli an air of
deepest resignation to the dictates of
in untoward fate that "if war must
be the result of upholding our in
leniahle rights, let it come," or some*
hing of that nature, and the patriot
sin mills would grind out reams of
-tnft’ about our "sacred duties" in or
ler to get us into a proper frame of
mind to jump on somebody’s neck,
lint there will be nothing of that kind
.a the ease of England. No one need
:a\i the slightest fear that the situa
tion will he allowed to become so
intensely strained that war yvill re
mit. If the evidences of the past four
ears are worth anything as a basis
i speculation concerning the not re
moo i'ulure, England can bulldoze us
i bom as she pleases as long as the
present administration is controlling
in destinies. England may ban our
merchants, restrict and destroy our
eloign trade or seize the mails about
is often as she feels like It. Nothing
will result. We will growl about it
for a while, show our teeth maybe—
and then forget it. Lots of us might
e. inclined to go farther but we will
not lie given the opportunity. If En
gland becomes real nasty and there
is a really serious prospect for trou
ble. we will simply resort to "secret
diplomacy” so the dear public will
not got wise to hoyv our good friend
cross the pond orders us about,
mocks and defies us. The whole
tiling will he nicely covered up by
the simple process of not letting the
public.know what is going on. and no
one will have a chance to raise an
unpleasant fuss. We will not be given
m opportunity to learn the depths
nf our humiliation so everything will
be serene. Some of us might resent
being imposed upon too far. There
■ire a great many persons who call
themselves Americans that would be
very liable to insist on their rights
<4[ven against ft he "Mistress of the
Seas" and would be lord of the uni
verse. Some of them are so unrea
sonably proud of the fact that they
are Americans and citizens of oue of
the world’s greatest nations that they
would lie very apt to declare war on
the devil himself If he trod careless
ly on their coat tails. These people
would be much inclined to act rather
ugly if they realized that their coun
try was being flaunted and shamed,
merely because someone thought that
they could do so without punishment.
But it is not probable that they ever
will know anything about It. The
whole thing yvill be nicely concealed
in the purlienus of the state depart
ment so there yvill be no trouble and
we can all sleep o'nights without fear
of danger. There wont' he any dan
ger, no matter what England does.
Woodrorv yvill save us. Wo may have
to swallow a whole lot of hitter pills
of English make or endure a few llieks
from the Lion’s tail—but we yvill ho
saved. Leave it to Woodrow. He
will not do anything to unduly offend
dear old England.
