Thirty-Five Points. © “Thirty-five points are treated in the note, and, in conclusion, Secre- tary Lansing declares that the United States ‘“‘cannot with complacence suf- fer further subordination of its rights and interests to the plea that the ex- ceptional geographic position of the enemies of Great Britain require or justify oppressive and illegal prac- tices.” The relations between the United States and Great Britain, he says, must be governed not by expedi- ency but by established rules of in- ternational conduct; it is of the high- est importance to neutrals not only of the present day but of the future that the principles of international right to be maintained unimpaired, and the United States unhesitatingly assumes the task of championing the rights of neutrals. Heretofore Americans whose car- goes destined to neutral countries have been seized on the high seas and delayed or confiscated have been ad- vised to exhaust legal remedies abroad before asking the United States government to seek reparation. Now, the note says, the government “feels that it cannot rasonably redress before tribunals which are, in its opinion, unauthorized by the un- restricted application of international law to grant reparation, nor to re- frain from presenting their claims di- rectly to the British government through diplomatic channels.” Look to Government. Since the United States does recognize the existence of a blockade, Americans may look to their government for protection In the shipment of non-contraband car- goes not only to neutral countries continguous to belligerents but di- rectly to or from the enemies of the allies. Ambassador Page, to whom the note was sent by special messenger for delivery to the London foreign office, was instructed by Secretary Lansing “to impress most earnestly” upon the British government that the United States* must insist that the relations between it and his majesty’s government be governed, not by a policy of expediency but by those es- tablished rules of ‘international con- duct to which Great Britain in the past has held the United States to ac- count when the latter nation was a belligerent engaged in a struggle for national existence.” Tmpartial Attitude. Declaring the United States ‘“un- hesitatingly assumes” the task of championing the integrity of neutral rights, the note proclaims that the American government will devote its energies to the task, exercising al- ways an impartial attitude. The note, nearly 15,000 words in length, was made public by agreement between the state department and the British foreign office. It carries with it a volumious appendix, giving the text of the American naval instruc- tions issued in 1862 and a summary and table showing hundreds of ves- sels detained by British authorities, since the beginning of the present war. not legal Lansing’s Statement. In conclusion, after an argument on the law and fact, Secretary Lan- sing says: ¢ “I believe it has been conclusivgv shown that the methods sought to ve employed by Great Britain to obtain and use evidence of enemy destin: tion of cargoes bound for neutra ports and to impose a contraband character upon such cargoes are with- out justification; that the blockade, upon which such methods are partly founded, is ineffective, illegal and in- defensible; that the judicial procedure offered as a means of reparation. for an international injury is inherently defective for the purpose, and that in many cases jurisdiction is asserted in violation of the law of nations.

Document Sent to England REGARDING ALLIED BLOCKADE Manchester Guardian Warns Briton Not to Forget That Cordial Friend- ship of Uncle Sam Will Not Be a Luxury But a Necessity. Manchester, England, Nov. 8, 10:05 a. m.—The American note to Great Britain is polite but hard in substance, in the opinion of the Guardian, which says: “We must not let preoccupations prevent us from trying to understand the United States viewpoint. Although we shall be unable to concede its con- tentions much will depend upon the spirit in which it is dealt with official- 1y, privately and publicly. Let none forget that the cordial friendship of the United States will not be a luxury but a necessity of British policy when the war is over.” Part of Germany. Pointing out that the - rules for blockades were made before railroads were built and that lawyers and diplo- mats always have forgotten the rail- road when revising the rules, the Guardian contends that railroads have made Holland, Denmark and Norway a part of Germnay, and that if there were no interference with the transit of goods through these neutral coun- tries then Germany could not be blockaded. “In effect” the Guardian continues “The American arguments, if they were accepted as they stand, would abolish ‘the commercial blockade of any continental power. Only islands which have no neutral side doors could be blockaded commercially.
