N its frantic efforts to be neutral, the Portland Journal newspaper has devolved a ludicrous sense of morality. Nothn'StreTr'eYcphon1' """" Speaking of the action of Great Britain in making eotton icoiurananu 01 war, tne .journal Hectares: i In morals, mioh a blow nt Tinerlcan producers I? Indofen&llilp. It In of ; kind with tho German Invasion 'of Ilelgltint, The invasion of Belgium was a violation of treaty and of international law. The placing of eotton on the contra band list violates no treat v, no code of .ethics and is ac- iieo cordiinffo international law. There is no question of morality involved. Great Britain had eveiy right to place cotton along with war munitions on the contraband list, and the wonder is that it was not placed there, at the beginning of the war, for cotton is the principal essential component of modern explosives. The allied German-Austrian armies expend eotton at the rate of 1000 tons a dity. The. great German' howitzers shoot half a bale at a shot.' Other guns use t in proportion. David Lloyd George calculates that the 2J50, 000 shells fired daily by the Teutonic forces require TOGO bales of cotton for artillery uses alone, while a similar quantity is eonsuincd by rifles and machine guns. "When the war began Germany had immense stores of cotton in reserve, as well as all other supplies. When the embargo of the allies shut off the cotton imports they were secured through neutral countries. The cotton imports of J Tolland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway increased enor mously. In the first three months of the present year they imported six times as much cotton as in the corresponding months of 101-!. The conclusion is obvious in spite of embargo, cotton still found its way to Germany. The only way the allies can liiakp it difficult for Ger many to keep supplied with explosives is to make it diffi cult to secure eotton. Embargo having failed, the only remaining step is to make cotton war contraband an action entirely within the province of belligerants and sanctioned by international law.

The Journal absurdly )arallels as similar moral crimes Unted to the grand jury. .fudge Chorion K Wolvorton will proelde over tho terms of the United States district court which opens In Medford on the flr-t Tiiwilm In Oc tober of this year the making of cotton as contraband and the spoliation of Uelgium. There is no parallel. Cotton producers will be confined to selling their death-dealing stuff t,o the alius instead of the Germans, because the German fleet is bot tled upland its control of the sea lost, while the violation of Belgium musi ever remain a crime in the vyt of civil ization. The Journal's moral code has become as strangely warped and twisted as the Prussian jugger's and needs revising. FINCH DELEGATES 10 SECURE CREDIT PARIS, Aug. 27.
