Washington, May 4.—The British embassy issued a statement last night for the information of American ship- ping interests, designed to facilitate trade of the United States with neu- tral countries by pointing out a way to guard against interference by allied warships with the cargoes not under 1he ban of Great Britain's blockade order in couneil., The statement has been sent to all British consuls in the United States, to whom shippers are advised to give notice' of the character of cargoes, so that the British government may be advised before ships reach European ‘waters. Publish Embargo Idsts, ‘" The United States does not recog- nize the right of the allieis to inter- fere with legitimate commerce be- tween neutrals, or with non-contra- band goods, even when uitimately des- tined to Germany or Austria, and has set forth its position in' the long diplomatic exchanges on the subject. In order, however, to prevent as far as possible unnecessary delays and de- 1entions, the foreign trade advisers of the state department have been hold- ing informal conferences with British embassy officials in the nterest/ of shippers, and to aid those who desire to conform to the requirements of the order in council they have had printed ihe re-export embargo lists of the various countries contiguous td. the FEuropean belligerents. The text of the British embassy statement follows: “The British embassy haye received, since the issue of the order in council of March 11, numerous applications from shippers of American produce for information and advice on general lines as to the steps which ought to be taken by them to facilitate the quicker expedition and passage of con- ‘signments of goods to neutral destina- tions for neutral consumption. \The British embassy can give no assurance as to the immunity from ivisitiand search or detention of any particular shipments; but with regard tc' consignments of non-contraband articles, as well as of articies of con- Gitional contraband, they are au- thorized 'to ' state that .in . cases ‘Wwhere adequate information is furnished by consignors to show that the goods shipped are neutral property and are to be used exclusively for con- sumption in neutral countries or by the allies, this is taken into considera- tion by the authorities charged with the execution of the order In council. This will also apply to shipments of certain, descriptions 6f goods listed as absolute contraband. Such goods are, ‘hewever, usually subjected to closer scrutiny and control and in some cases ic special arrangements. Help . Clearing Vessels. “It would greatly facilitate and ex- .péditejthe work of clearing vessels bound to neutral ports, which call at, or are brought into British ports for examination of their papers, if ship- ping houses or their agents would give Britsh consular officers a duplicate of: the final manifest 0f the vessel im- auediately on its departure for Europe in: order that, «if possible, it may be transmitted'to the ‘British authorities and considered before the vessel ar- rives. " “To further accelerate proceedings manifests and bills of lading should disclose the exact nature of the goods and wherever it is possible the name and full business address of the ujti- mate. consignee as well as the name and address of the consignor. Exact Definition Called for. “Shippers should avoid the use of generic descriptions such as hard- ware, dry materials, machinery, etc., which are capable of being employed to conceal the real identity of goods classed as contraband. An exact definition of the specific character of consignments . will save delay in their examination; it will also facilitate their identification with articles com- prised in the export embargo—lists of the country to which the goods are consigned. For example, in the casc of lubricating oils, it should always be stated whether the oil is vegetable or mineral. The precise nature of animal and vegetable fats and oils should also be indicated; the term ‘lard’ alone, for instance, is not ade- quate without some. closer definition, because: the lists: of ‘prohibited exports of’ certain neutral countries differen- tiate between various - ' preparations iand’ compounds of' this article. It should be clearly understood that' the ' forwarding: of goods to & neutral port . isinot proof .that they ‘are’ destined for-neutral comsumption. .Consigners should always endeavor to procure and.exhibit complete; informa. ‘tion as to the final destination of the goads.. Shipments manifested, ‘to order’ or ‘in transit,’ or with bills of lading addresses to a branch or agency of the consignors, or to ‘com mission agents,’ ‘banks’ or ‘forward- un- named consignee, afford no-evidence as to their ' ultimate destination. Wherever it is ‘practicable, ‘the full name and address of the ultimate con- signee should figure jn the document's Telatively to' the goods concerned, and metals should so far as possible( be addressed to the actual consumers and not to dealers. Proof of Ultimate Destination. “In comnection with the establish- ment of proof of ultimate! destina- tion, it may be observed that it goods definitely, addressed to a neutral con- signee can be clearly identified as he. ing comprised in the export embargo list of the country to which they are consigned, this will be taken into con- sideration as ‘corroborative . evidence of their- destinations for neutral con- sumption Precision in describing I"gooda will accordingly accelerate com- parison with the lists of prohibited % N NN D\ ‘in that country should be consigned ‘tion in that Let’'s see what The Stoné Age man held *gébblc -n-his Away Back : QS 3 a7 Y\ hiistorveavs: mouth for moisture and to' prevent thirst.
