touches The gathering promises lo equal or surpass any convention of a purely Provincial nature ever held In Toronto The limit of del egate privileges Is fixed at KIGHTDO Owing to the fact that since war began various large business interests in States have been- shipping cai goes various cohimodities ad dressed to neutral countries but with primary being delivered in Germany the enemy of the Allies arid of which cargoes were making great profit the British AdmiraUy has been compelled to seize a number of these ships with their valu able cargoes and are dealing with them under International Law in the prize courts of Great Britain and sonie these ship pers have been making serious objection towards Great Britains attitude although they are strict ly within heir legal rights The following article taken from the Wall Street Journal of New York Oct 1st the leading financial paper of the States fully justifies Great Britains- and points out that she might legally go much farther in the restrictions of this class of trade from the United States To the thoughtful observer who has read the newspaper attacks upon Great Britain for her use of the of the seas what will be most striking is not what she has done in the matter of de layed cargoes or prize court con but what she might do So far as we are concerned she can operate what amounts to a virtual- monopoly in such products as tin wool pepper nutmegs tapioca cloves shellac rubber Indian tea Cocoa and many other things which to us are not merely luxuries or com forts but necessities What is to- prevent Great Britain so far as her crown colonies are con cerned from putting an doty on all these articles She commands the seas She can virtually monopolize the freight for reason By transferring the ships with the necessary insulation instalment from the chilled and frozen meat trade of Argentina lo that of Australasia she brought the American packers to their knees in spite of their majority control of the Argentine output With a like command of the export movement of the world what would Germany not do There is historic precedent in the attempt lo tax- what were then I American colonies for the benefit of the mother country which apparently traverses Ibis suggestion But India is not a commonwealth nor are the Straits Settlements from whence our canning industries derive their indispensable tin The self governing colonies of the British Empire properly make their own tariffs But the British mercan tile marine even more in a sense than the British navy holds the mastery of the sea When the New York World the best intentions and with entire justice calls attention lo what Great Britain has done in this respect it forgets what she might do She is fighting for her life as a nation and an em pire She knows that while the domestic consumer pays the du ties in a protective tariff the export duty falls upon the foreign consumer as we discovered for ourselves in the case of Brazilian coffee When the Allies are fighting for those things we hold dearest the Sanctity of treaties and government by consent of the governed suppose we take into our own hearts their surprising moderation in view of the over whelming strength Of their po sition 80 far as our own export and import trade are concerned What might Great Britain do What couldnt she do if she were as unscrupulous as her adver saries
