LONDON, March 9.—A _ drastic amendment to the Defenses of the Realm Act was unexpectedly present- ed ta the House of Commons this efrernoon by Chaiteellovot the Ex. chequer Lioyd-George. His proposal was that the Government be empow- ered to Commandeer all factories se- quired for war purposes. Up to the present time firms and factories already producing war ma- terlal could be taken under Govern- ment control, The amending Dill e: tends this power to cover all other concerns which the Government may wish to utillze for this purpose. Mr. Lioyd-George laid particular emphasis upon his statement that not only the duration but the success of the war depended upon the output of munitions. The Government, he de- clared, proposed jo organize the entire engineer commuRity, through a com- mittee headed by business men, with the id of out; all ite stages.

This has been communicated both to England and France, although not in the form of either an ultimatum or warning. It has been more in the nature of a friendly remonstrance | and just what effect it will have will | be shown when the text of the Brit- ish order in council is made public. It is understood that the Britisn Government expects the United States to protest against each individuai stoppage of an American vessel, or an American cargo, and that each wil be handled on its merits. The British and French Governments hope to be able to have the Scandinavian coun- tries put a ban on all re-exportation, to safeguard their own shipping, and if this is done it will be beneficial to American trade. The one thing which is troubling the United States more than anything else is the belief that England will try to make every article produced.in Germany contraband, thus interfering with the shipping to this country of large quantities of dyestuffs already bp ected for by Americans.
