Allied ships are expected to come to our shores to get them soon, Some think that England and France will not be able to ful- fill all their desired orders here, because of our own military ex- pansion program. Men high in the army and navy are known to feel strongly that we should rigidly control exports of imple- ments of war until our needs are met, Military experts are now wait- ing in suspense to see just what luck Britain and France will have in getting their ships home from the U. S. The German U-boat campaign has so far been ominously successful. And it seems to be true that the three German pocket battleships, which Britain at first though were bot- tled up in Reich naval bases, es-| caped the blockade and are now roaming the seas. These ships are extremely fast. Their fire- power is superior to that of any Allied war ships, save a few modern French and English bat- tleships and big battle cruisers. | They have wide cruising ranges, and, apparently, have sources of supply which the Allies been unable to cut off. It was one of these ships, the Deutsch- Jand, which seized the City of Flint. They, plus Germany’s sub- have! smith.

At any rate, our own. ships seem to be safe. The President closed war zones to U.S. vessels as soon as the embargo’ was re- pealed. The proclamation forbids U. S. shipping to go to England, | France, Germany, Belgium, Hol- } land, Denmark, Sweden, Estonia, ; Latvia and Lithuania. It also clos- |es the Baltic sea route to Russia {and Finland—these countries |may be reached only: through the | Arctic. The closed area is sub- |ject to revision. So American policy toward the war has finally been legally es- tablished. We are’ theoretically neutral—kut from the practical standpoint we are holding out a helping hand to the Allies. It is jsignificant that the controlled German press “played down” the | embargo repeal, and continued in its relatively friendly attitude to this country.
