Show H Something of the appalling truth tegauling H our shipments of sup)lios to neutrals adjacent H to Germany is emphasized by thu recently issued H report of the department of commerce bhnwing H exports for the month of August and the eight H months ended in August. The report gives a H marked decline in shipments to Northern Kuio- H pean neutrals, adjacent to Germany. As the H Mew York Journal of Commeice arpiopriatelyi H remarks, "the effect of the embargo put into op- H erntion by this country is readily seen in the Ue-I H cline of goods shipped to sections where theyj H might be sent across the German frontier and B thus give comfort to the enemy." The humili- BBB ating feature of the disclosure is that not until BBS August, 11)17, was there any marked decline in BBS this trade which could readily "give comfort to BBV the enemy." There had been n slight decline in BBW July, but it was more than four months after we BBV entered the war before we effected a material BBB decline in the shipments against which the allies BBB had so long protested.
