Barter With U.S.A.
Sir,—"Butter for Gnus” was Germany's armament slogan, America Ims guns and we have butter and wool. San Francisco is no more distant than Panama, aud there is a world shortage of shipping, (‘.specially insulated space. Why not trade directly in the Pacific? The Hawaiian Naval Base is over 2000 miles west of the United States, while Pago Pago is less distant east of New Zealand.
Let Argentine beef go to Britain aud ours to the United States Fleet. If all insulation space is booked for Britain, a load of wool or blankets in exchange for guns would be a quick solution of our own needs and a contribution to tiie United States’ new army.—l am, etc., WA TER SID EWO RKER. Feikling, February 17.
