OWN INTERESTS PUT FIRST United States Charged With Violat ing Precedent Arbitration Irea ties Will Prevent Danger- ous Situation. BY JOHN CALLAN O LAL'GHLIN. WASHINGTON. Jan. 11. (Special.) Great Britain and France are about to send an identical note to the United States in reply to the voluminous pro test presented by direction of President Wilson against allied restrictions on American trade. ' Authoritative information is to the effect that the note was drafted in Lon don by the Foreign Office in consulta tion with the French Ambassador. It is now in Paris being examined by the French officials. When the revision is complete it will be hsnded to the United States, probably in the course of the next fe-w days. Tone Will Be Vigorous. The note will be quite as vigorous in character, from all accounts, as that sent by the State Department. It will point out that if the attitude adopted by the United States against the form of blockade established by the antes, should be concurred in by the latter, it would be possible to send through neutral ports anything of which Ger many may be in need and that there fore the measures in restriction of enemy trade would be absolutely nullified. Should Great Britain and France proclaim a formal blockade, which the United States considers the legal way to proceed. It ia pointed out that ships violating the blockade would be con demned, whereas under the ordcrs-in-council this action is not taken, and as to the goods seized in view of being returned or the owners being compen sated, they would receive nothing. Method Not to Be Changed. Moreover, it will be pointed out that thare is no guaranty that a shipment, say, of lard, consigned to a Danish agent would remain in Denmark, es pecially as the shipment is beyond tlie amount consumed by the Danish people in normal times. It may be taken for granted, there fore, that the allies will not change their present method of intercepting enemy trade. In its note to- Great Britain and France the United States declared that it viewed with surprise and concern I the attempt to confer on British prize i courts Jurisdiction under which they could PP'y to vessels and cargoes of neutral nationalities, seized on the high 1 seas municipal laws and orders wnich it was argued could be rightfully en forced only within the territorial waters of Great Britain or against ves- eels of British nationality when on the high seas. Violation of Precedent Charged. The British and French governments regret that the United States has adopted such a position, especially in view of the fact that the same tradi tions observed with reference to Amer ican and British courts. There is no doubt that the declaration of the United States in the matter haa cre ated the presumption in the minds of the officials in London and Paris that this government in advance refused to accept the decisions of the allied courts. In view of the way in which American courts dealt with neutral ships and. neutral cargoes, and the acquiescence of Great Britain and France therein. it is suggested that there is a de parture of the United States from precedent. Moreover, both Great Britain and France insist that their judicial pro cedure is their own and that any in terference by a foreign power would be, in fact, an infringement of sov ereignty. - Owa Interenta Held Vital. The note will make it clear that the allies have done everything they can to Impose as little inconvenience as possible upon American trade. But Uiey have their vital interests to con eider, and among them is the necessity of preventing Germany and Austria- Hungary from receiving any goods which will enable her to pursue the war. At the same time, the desire to retain the most friendly relations with this Government is expected at least to lead to further discussion. The question cannot possibly become dangerous, such as did that in connec tion with the operations of German submarines, resulting in the loss of American life. There is in force be tween the United States and Great Britain and France treaties of general arbitration which cover all differences of a legal nature, and there is also in force with these countries the Bryan treaties providing for a year's investi gation of any dispute that may arise. Senator Confers With Lanalnej. Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, who has been the particular Senatorial critic on the British trade measures, called at the State Department today and had a conference with Secretary Lansing. Mr. Smith promised to make public the wireless messages he- has been receiving from Berlin and which. 1- ... ....,inan I n fsxvr-n otlnn . i-.!iia ' , Vf,sti(ration of tho -r fetfl of the Frltih restrictions upon tConcluUcd on i'aae Column, i.j I
