Every con- cession of this kind, every breach in the naval fence jncreases by so much the effort England and the Allies have to make on land. "The country would like to see the whole problem eof the blockade taken out of the hands of the For eign Office and placed exclusively in the hands of naval men. it -believ- es that then the siege of Germany would quiekly become as absolute as sea power could make it. No doubt neutrals would suffer in the process. If it were enforced to its full extent they would be confined to such trade, and no more, as they were carrying on among themselves before the war.
