v e v k=l NORWICH BULLETIN, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1914 | GREAT. BRITAIN'S ATTITUDE | TOWARD CONTRABAND OF WAR | e { Will Endeaver to Give Every Security Possible to Commerce Between Neu- Nations, : Washington, Oct. 26.—Great Britain in two notes presented today to the state department by the British am- {bassador, Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, de- ifined her attitude toward.commerce ibetween neutral countries as one of !rigid endeavor to give every security ipossible in the interest of free and jundisturbed trade. The documents 'Constituted a general pronouncement |ot British policy on the subject of con- 'traband. The essential points in the British fattitude are: ’ . American shippers should take ade- ‘quate precaution to show the exact destination of their goods, mentioning izither a specific consignee or a neu- ! government in their bills of lading. . “Great Britain will be guided by the {American doctrine of continuous voy- jage or “ultimate destination” in re- |spest to commerce between neutral !countries in articles generally known |as conditional contraband. Absolute luonu-nhsn& embracing munitions of war, is always subject to seizure and jcareful examination when carried in Ineutral ships. Cotton, which is specifically men- |tioned by Great Britain as neither ab- )solute nor:sonditional contraband, can ibe shipped in neutral vessels not only to neutral countries, but to all belli- Igerents without molestation, Tho information sent from London jthat the tanker Brindilla had been or- {dered released at Halifax, N, S. and ithat the Platuria held on the coast of ! Scotland, similarly, would be permitted to continue her voyage cleared up every pending question on the subject of shipping which had arisen in the past week between the United States and Great Britain. In both cases the | principle set fortp in today’s communi- cations from the British ambassador, were foilowed, namely, that on deter- mining the exact destination of the cargo as neutral, the vessels would not be held. Great Britain’s decision mdt to raise 1he question_of change of registry in sither the case of the Brindilla or the Platuria strengthened the helief of ad- /ministration officials that there would Ybe no further difficuity in this connec- ition where the ownershsip of vessels 'was changed if their flag was contin- luously American. As yet there has been no test case of a change from German to American registry where a transfer from a-German company to ,an American concern was involved. There have been several such trans- fers, but in each case, it is understood British consuls have been satisfied that the transfer was of a bona fide char- acter and have not recommended that the vessels he brought before a prize court. The attitude of the British govern- ment in these matters was regarc by the Washington administration as .eminently “satisfactory, the assurances that cotton cargoes would not be mo- lested even when bound for belligerent countries being particularly welcome. As s resuli of these definite assur- ances Secretary McAdoo issued the following statement tonight: “There is no reason why underwrit- ers whe cover marine and war risk insurance should now hesitate to is- sue pclicies on cotton in neutral bot- tome. #o far as Great Britain is con- cerned. = * The tureau of war risk insurance of the treasury department is writing in- sugance. freely on cotton when car- ried in American vessels. « PRESIDENT “JOINS FIGHT AGAINST JOE CANNON Sends Letter Endorsing O'Hair, Who _ Défeated.
