THE BAN ON GERMAN GOODS
Thousands of Americans have made up their minds never again “to
whittle with Esslingen knives, to eat off Bavarian porcelain, to take Saxon
drugs, to wear jewelry from Aschaffenburg, to buy the!.- children Nuremburg
toys, or to drink again the dark heavy beer that used to come from Bavaria/
remarks the Literary Digest, “Some have gone on record as abstainers from
these articles named by the New York Tribune, ns well as from all of the Ger
man-made goods, by signing the American Guardian Society's pledge: “I
am opposed to opening the markets of America to the products of German}
for the next twenty-five years, and so far as may be practicable I will buy o:
use no German-made goods during the same period of time.” Othetp. with
out joining any organisation, have privately made the same decision or have
responded with alacrity to boycott arguments made by newspapers and men
of influence. Governor Harding, of Iowa, for instance, started something ol
the kind a while ago, and the Des Moines Capital calls it “a wise thing tc do,’
saying:
- ' £ -
“The Prussians are too brutal and too unreliable for the Aiherlcan
1 cople to have anything to do with them. All the Allies should boycott
German trade. We might as well make this war amount to something while
we are at it”.
True, an official boycott against Germany w<Ald probably hurt the
Allies as much as it would the enemy, thinks the -Topeka Capital, since ii
would be" depriving them of one of the great markets of the world for theii
products.” Governor Capper’s paper prefers that the Allied nations slmpl)
agree to refuse Germany the benefits of the “most favored nation” clause Iv
commercial treaties. Proposals to boycott German goods are also “con
demned from a moral standpoint and from the fact that a boycott woulc
throw Germany economically back upon herself, create deep resentments If
that country, and breed a new out-break of militaristic madness” the New
;:rk Star-Eagle notes, and it thinks the :-easoning sound. Yet both thew
papers are convinced that Germany is certain to be subjected to an unofficial
boycott. The thousands who have died because of Hohenaollera ambitions
who have suffered from Prussian brutalty. who have been “Impoverished bj
the German dream of empire.” who-have learned the awful depths of deoep
tion and trickery of which German commercialism Is capable”—these thou
sands and millions, declares the Newark paper, “will not buy German good
if they can help it." Arguments.against Che boycott are quite wasted, agreei
the Detroit Journal, for they “are likely to be affairs with which govern
ments will not have a little thing to do, which may be carried on in spite of ant
even against the frantic appeals of governments.” The people who have suf
fered at the hands of Germany, it continues, “are not merely sufficient t)
decree a boycott, but are numerous enough to maintain it”. The Wash
ington Herald likewise recognises that national action will not be necessary
since “German goods will be shunned by the people of every country whktl
It at war with Germany.” Germany, In this editor's opinion, “has less reaso;
tc worry about getting raw materals for manufacturing than she has to bi
concerned about where she can expect to find markets for finished product*
The markets are closed to her now; nothing will re-open them until she I
a different Germany.”
The New York Globe is inclined to think that the boycott idea I
stronger in this country than Is generally believed. Those who oppoee It an
said to ignore a most essential consideration, namely, mat the boycott, is con
ditional on ”the failure of Germany to alter her course voluntarily and th
failure of the Allies to force a change by her.” The conditions, says Th<
Globe, touch the very heart of the problem. And we read further:
“What if the peace is of such character as to encourage German;
to be worse than she has -been? Are we to ship cotton to Germany to b<
converted into explosives to be hurled at us, or copper to make shells ti
devastate our cities?
“Those who oppose the tabu also Ignore the fact that Germany, althi
highly sensitive to any suggestion of ^exclusion directed at h^r. Is busy crent
ing a block of territory wherein she Is to have special advantages”
One very important fact outlined by a number of newspapers is th
drastic action taken by the British Seamen's Union, which Is thought to b
the largest organisation of seagoing sailors in the world. ‘After a prates
against German frlgfctfulness was answered by officers of a simlliar union ii

In September of ta«rt year ,hot If submarine. shpiiM continue in attack sail
cr», a boycott against Germany would he enforced for two, years after the wai
with an addition of one month for every new offense. -If the members o
this union ponltlvely refuse to serve on Ships tie dine with Germany, it will,
says the Utica Press, “make a pretty formdiable boycott, If tks Americas
French, and Italian sailors should Join the same.movement. It would be i
body-blow to the Teutons.”
