There are citations of decisions by United States supreme court b-fln‘ on the same point, such as the cele- brated Springbok case. Other de- cisions, such as that in the Matamoros case, which apj to conflict with this doctrine, are held to be inapplica- Sis' by vessoir of & vadical @iffersnpd of governing conditi Seizures and ommhm of Shipe. The note has been long in prepara- tion and was intended to meet the ob~ Jection of the United States that previ- ous British notes had dealt only with special cases of eetzures and detentions of ships and cargoes seemed to ustify the British ac- tion, failing to ‘answer the American contentions that the whoie process of interference _with neutral commerce was in violation of international law. After it had been despatched to Wash- ington, new conditions arose that led the Britleh government to amplify its argument. One of these new copditions was & strong protest by. the state departutont sgainst selzure of the American ship Neches, bound from _Rotterdam New York with a Belgian F= | German goods. Britiah-activities pre- viously had been principally to &olding up cargoes from America, ostensibly boand Ter neutral countries: but alleged by the British to be actual- 1y destined for or Austria. The Neches case made necessary defonse of the allies’ right to eut off Germany's export trade to neutral countries and the financial benefitto be derived from that bustness. Actual Blockade of North Sea. The second note of the series deals with this issue, and it is understood that it sets up the contention ‘that an actual blockade of the North sea ports exists and that, regardless of the Brit- ish orders-in-council, there is an in- herent right in the blockading powers under international law to suppress traffic of this kind. While the contro- versy is proceeding, unofficial efforts are being made to releass for the American market goods now awaiting export at Rotterdam, by proving Bel- glan origin and American ownership. ‘The last note of the series is in reply to the American caveat of July 17 say- ing the United States would be gov- erned only by the principles of inter- mational law in dealing with cases of detentions of American ships and goods and would not recognize the or- ders-in-cous To Meet New Conditions. The British foreign office holds that the orders-in-council comply with the spirit of international law, although they make a new application of these principles to suit the new conditions developed in the w-r British prize proceedings ‘wherein the mmmm have assumed, that the orders-in-council were in con- formity with international law pro- voked the American communication. The British contend that where inter- national issues were pending before the United States courts that fact has n recognized by the London gov- et S emmen far datuif diplomatic protests. It is held that the United States government cannot assume that its merchants have suf- fered permanent injury, since there is always in reserve the right of diplo- matic review of prize court decisions, and even of arbitration, under the spe- clal arbitration treaty between the United States and Great Britain, re- cently perfected. German Note. The German note, continuing the dis- cussion over the sinking of the Ameri- can ship Willlam P.
