WHAT IS CONTRABAND OF WAR

lHlko AViirim ARnlimt n llimty Over
tiiriilne of Precedent.
London, Jan. 1. Loid Rosobory
writes as follows this morning to tho
Times:
"Thoro aro disquieting intimations
which appoar to point to our govern
ment having treated foodstuffs as con
traband of war. Ah this is a matter of
supreme importance, I venture to ad
dress this lino to yon in tho hope that
it may olicit an authoritativo Htatomout
on tho subjoct."
Tho Times, commenting editorially
upon Lord Rosoberry's letter, says:
"Too littlo ia known of tho seizures
for any valid inforouco safely to bo
drawn. An emorgonoy might arise
when certain foodstuffs would bo ro
garded as contraband whilo others)
would not, especially if tho lattor wore
intended for cuncombatante. Thcro
might, for iustanco, bo reasonable
grounds for treating caunod goods as
contraband and flour as legitimate."
After admitting that it "would bo
unadvisablo to creato a precedent which
might somo day bo invoked against
us," tho articlo coucludos as follows:
"Whilo wo fully share tho viow that
no serious chango of policy should oc
cur without cogont reasons and ample
consideration, we cannot but ask our
selves whether, in tho event of Groat
Britain being engaged in a war, the
action, either of tho enemy or even ol
neutral powers, in a matter upon
which such great divorgenco of opinion
still exists is likely to be governed by
any precedent wo or any ono else may
have set in the past, rather than by the
hnmediato interests of tho momf Jt."
