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.

OCTOBER
i,
PORTLAND, Ore , ng. 27
United Stat Attorney f'liirenrp
ItuauifB announced (odtiy that n Bpe
cldl redornl grarfd Jury would bo
called to mNl nt Medford. Oregon,
early In OoluUor of this ywir, and
that the Houston of the grand Jury
would probably he of two woektt du
ration 'or tuori'. Thl will bo the
flritt Mine f"n the hlatnrV of Oregon
that n federal grand Jur'haa ever
been convened otuMdo of (iw oily of
of I'ortlnnd. It wan aiilibuiicod by
the district ntioftiev that, upon the
completion of the new federal build
ing In Medford, in grand jury nctwlon
would bo held In Medford at loust
twice per year.
Tho federal grand Jury connlits
of 23 grand'Jnrrora, and at tho Med
ford term tills bodv will bo drawn
from .lackRon, Jonephine, I.ako nnd
Klamath countloH There will be nt
least one murder tao to bo Investi
gated by the grand jury nt this kcis
Ion, and the district attorney an
nounced that. In the event nn Indict

trial of tho raao would probably fol
low Immediately. It In known thnt

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.
