NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, JA UARY 11, 1915, United States Will Dispute Some Contentions of England Great Britain’s Reply Concedes Prin- cipals of American Protest but Points Out Difficulties in Actual Practice Washington, Jan. 11.—The United Sta®% government, it became known oday, is not altogether satisfied with the note of Sir Edward Grey giving Great Britain's preliminary reply to President Wilson's protest concerning the treatment of American commercs by the British fleet. Whi'e gratified *hat Great fdmits tre justice of practically i%® principles of internatioral law cited in the American note, officials Treiterated today that the chief difficul- 1% had been England’'s neglect to Jnake her actual practice square with the previously accepted rules of in- ternational law. It is realized by officials here that a long diplomatic correspondence con- ceding the principles of the American ‘ease but not actually carrying thera Into practice will not meet the com- plé¥nts of American cxporters and shippers, and although England’s sup- ‘blementary answer is expected to give ° & more detalled statement of her po- sition, officials plan to take up vigor- ously all individual cases which may meanwhile arise. Only Forty-five Doubtful CaSes. England’'s statement that out of 773 ships which proceeded from the Unit- ~ed States to neutral countries in Eu- rope since the outbreak of the war only forty-five had had cargoes placed in the prize courts, while only eight of the ships themselves had gotten into the courts, was regarded by of- ficials and diplomats here as proving that the bulk of the American com- Britain merce was of a legitimate character | and had yielded only forty-five doubt- ful cases. There is no mention made in the British note on the other hand, of the large number of American ships which were detained, some of them for two weeks, for extended ex- amination. In the next communication the United States will send to gland as a rejoinder the British view that ships must he taken into ports for examination instead of being searched on the high seas is expect- ed to be vigorously dispuied. Ther is some doubt, not infrequently ox- pressed here among officials, ol wheher the practice of the British fleet practically blockading the high sess instead of the German ports themselves is not contrary to the fun- Aamental principle of a blockade. Will Give Out Statistics. It is not unlikely that before the American reply finally sent the state department .will give out statis- tics showing when and where Ameri- can ships have been detained. It is admitted at the state depart- ment that the action of some Ameri- can exporters and ship masters has placed the British in possession of a strong argument in favor of its pres- ent position. But with the recent ar rangements for having outgoing car- goes loaded under the inspection of treasury officials and with the system of Jicenses which the British note states has been arranged to insure rubber and perhaps wool exported from America from reaching Ger- many and Austria officials are in- clined to believe that the way soon will be open for a completely satis- factory understanding between the two governments in regard to the frtatment of neutral shipping and they are encouraged in that be- def by the frank and responsive tone O the British note. Points of KEngland's Reply. Briefly the British note, while conceding the principles of the American government's contention points out difficulties in actual prac- ti%e, refers to alleged fraudulent practices by shippers, and cites sta- tistics showing an increase rather than a decrcase in certain neutral commerce, in support of Great Brit- ain’'s suspicions that Germany and Austria have been indirectly obtain- Ing contraband through neutral countries. The note promises, how- ever, that Great Britain will “make refivess” whenever the action of the British fleet “may unintentionally ex- of international law which ¥n- on A Remedy for Bronchitisi Bronchitis is a distressing and Jdangerous disease, often fatal in its results.

The admission of Great Britain of | one of the chief points in the Amer- | that the relations between | neutrals were those of normal times peace and not of war—was grati- | ving to officials who believed the | controversy would now resolve it- self into a frank discussion of what were the actual necessities of the ‘case which impel interference by a | belligerent when suspecting that the ultimate destination of a neutral cargo is belligerent territory. The statistics brought forth to show that commerce between the United States and neutral countries continguous to Germany and Austria increased materially since the| outhbreak of the war were regarded here as misleading. Tt was pointed out that in view of the breaking down | of the normal relations of com- with Germany and Austria, many non-contraband products had been shipped through neutral coun- tries. Similarly, the neutral caun- tries which previously had obtained much of their supplies from belliger- ents were now importing from the United States. Duty of British. As to the increase in shipments in copper to Italy it was pointed out that the Italian ambassador has al- | that Italy which had | previously obtained copper trom Ger- many and Austria, for her manu- factures, now was forced to import from the United States because of the embarga on exportations which the belligerents themselves had imposed. The American government contends, that if some copper has reached the belligerents through neu- tral countries it is the duty of the British to make more effective rangements with those neutral tries. The admission of that as foodstuffs contraband, Lord lisbury's doctrine quoted in the American note, would departed “from hitherto accepted foodstufis being held up only when destined to an cnemy force, also was pleasing to American officials. U. S. Will Nog There is every reason to believe that the United States will not accept the view of Great Britain that car- goes must be taken into port for ex tended examination. While statistics advanced show that only 456 cargoes | out of 773 have actually gotten into | the prize courts, officials here note | that no mention is made in the Brit- ish note of the great number of| American cargoes detained and sub- | sequently released. It was mnot the | loss already suffered by American commerce which brought forth the American note hut the desire to pre- vent commerce in the future from being mistreated. The United States also laid stress on the effect which the detentions! already made had had on shippers, who hesitated to export cargoes account of the hazards involved, and what was termed the indecision of the British authorities in applying their own rule Britain’s Novel Argument. Officials regarded as navel the ar- gument of Great Britain that it could not give unlimited adherence to the rules with respect to conditional con- traband destined for belligerent coun- tries, because Britain's enemies had departed “from hitherto accepted rules of civilization and humanity.” It was suggested that American commerce should not be forced to suffer because of circumstances over which this government or the Ameri- can people would have no possible control. As a whole the note of the British government was regarded as satisfac. | tory, though the state department | will marshal statistics and facts to]| dispute some of its contentions.

This consideration | and the preparation of the reply will necessarily require some time and I thercfore desire to send without fur- ther delay, some preliminary obser- vation which will, T trust, help to clear the ground and remove some misconceptions that seem to exist. Recognize Friendly Spirit. “ILet me tirely recogniz at once that the most friendly spirit referred by your excellency and that we desire to reply in the same spirit and in the belief that, as vour exceliency states, frankness will best serve the continuance of cordial relations between the two countries. “His majesty’'s government cordial- lv concurs in the principle enunciat- cd by the government of the United States that belligerent, in dealing with trade neutrals should not inter- fere unless such interference is neces- 'y to protect the belligerents' n. tional safety and then only to the ex- tent to which this is necessary. W shall endeavor to keep action within the limits of this principle on the understanding that it admits our right to interfere when such inter- ference is, not with 'bona fide' trade between the United States and an- other neutral country, but with trade in contraband destined for the ene- my’s country and we are ready when- ever our action may unintentionally exceed this principle, to make re- dress¢ we en- to a our Some Misconception, “We think that much misconcep- tion exists &4s to the extent to which we have in practice, interfered with trade.

In the matter of cotton it may he re- called that the British government gave specirg assistance through the Liverpool cotton exchange to the re- newal of transactions in the cotton trade of not only the United King- dom, but of many neutral countries. Detention of Copper. “Your excellency’s note refers in particular to the detention of copper. The figures taken from official turns for the export of copper the United States for Italy for the | moenths during which the war has | been in progess up to the end of the | first three weeks of December, are as follows: “Ninteen two hundred Nineteen fourteen: lion two hundred thousand pounds. “Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Switzerland are not shown separate- | ly for the whole period in the Unit- ed States returns but are included in | the heading; ‘Other FEurope (that is IEurope other than the United King- dom, Russia, France, Belgium, Aus- tria, Germany, Holland and Itaiy). The corresponding figures under this heading are as follows “Nineteen thirteen: Seven two hundred and seventy-one sand pounds. Nineteen fourteen: Thirty-five million, three hundred and forty-seven thousand pounds. “With such figures the presump- tion is very strong that the bulk or copper consigned to those countries has recently been intended, not for their own use, but for that of a bel- ligerent who cannot import 1t “We too much action | par- of 1 clusion is of his diminu- | a state of re- from thirtcen, two fifteen thousand Thirty- and million pounds mil- eight-five million, thou- Real Destinations. *Tt is therefore an imperative ne- cessity for the safety of this countr, while it is at war, that his majesty's government should do all in their power to stop such part of this im- port of copper as is not generally des- tined for neutral countries. “Your excellency does not quote particular shipment of copper to Sweden which has been detained. There are, however, four consign- ments to Sweden at the present time of copper and aluminum which though definitely consigned to Swe- den, are, according to positive evi- dence in the possession of his ma- jesty’s government, definitely destin- ed for Germany. “1 cannot believe that, with such figures before them and in such cases as those just mentioned, the govern- ment of the United States would ques- of the action of h majesty’s government in taking su pected cargoes to a prize court, and we are convinced that it cannot be in accord with the wish either of the government or of the people of the United States to strain the interna- tional code in favor of private inter- ests so as to prevent Great Britain from taking such legitimate means | for this purpose as are in her power.
