RfBRITAIN'S
CONTRABAND CODE
CAUSED U. S. NOTE
Shipping Protest, Made Public in Wash-
iington, Cites Hindrance to American
nw Commerce Because of New and Indi
vidual Policy Full
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. Violation of
tho rights of tho United wales through
pursuance of a contraband policy, framed
according to British principles atone and
solely from the British point of view, Is
the themo pf the protest sent to Great
Britain by the United Btatcs against seiz
ures of American cargoes.
Tho noto shows that Great Britain was
warned that conditions have been uorlous
because of Interruptions of American
trade and that continuation of tho pres
ent British policy might arouse "foellng
contrary to that which has so long ex
isted." It was charged that this policy
Is "an Infringement on tho rights of
American cltlxcns"; that American ox
porters are "perplexed by the Indecision
Af British authorities In applying their
own rules," and that the stoppage ot 100a,
for instance, without definite- proof Is con
trary to previous British doctrines. A
stand was taken on British policy ot tho
past, and tho London Government waa
asked to take stops soon to stop "unnec
essary Interference."
TEXT OP THE NOTB.
Thn full tet ot the note, which Is
dated at the State Department December
38, follows:
"Tho present condition of American for
eign tmdo, resulting" from the frequent
seizures and detentions of American
cargoes destined to noutrai European
ports, has become so serious as to ro-
' qulrg a candid statement of the views of
thlsXIovernment in order that tho British
' nniummiint Tnnv tin fullv Informed as to
Uhe attitude of the United States toward
tho policy which has been pursued by
I the British authorities during the present
var.
"You will, therefore, communlcato tho
1 following to his Majesty's principal Sec
rotary of Btato (for Foreign Affairs, but
in doing so you will assuro htm that It Is
done In tho most friendly spirit and tn
tho bollef that frankness will better serve
the continuance of cordial relations be
tween the two countries than silence,
whtch may bo misconstrued Into oo
qulescenco In a oourso ot conduct which
this Government cannot but consider to
be an Infringement upon the rights of
American citizens.
NO HARSH JUDGMENT TAKEN.
"Tho Government of the United
States has viewed with growing concern
the large number of vessels laden with
American goods destined to neutral ports
In Europe which have been seized on the
high seas, taken Into British ports and
detained sometimes for weeks by the
British authorities. During tho early
days of the war this Government assumed
that the policy adopted by the British
Government was due to the unexpected
outbreak of hostilities and the nocesslty
of Immediate action to prevent contra
band from reaching tho enemy. For this
reason it was not disposed to Judge this
policy harshly or protest It vigorously,
although It was manifestly very Injuri
ous to American trade with the neutral
Countries of Europe.
"This Government, relying confidently
upW tho high regard which Great Britain
has t often exhibited In tho past for tho
rights of other nations, confidently await
ed amendment of a course of action which,
denied to neutral commerce tho freedom
to which It was entitled by tho law of
nations.
"This expectation seemed to bo rendered
the more assured by the statement of tho
Foreign Ofllco early in November that tho
British Government were satisfied with
puarantces offered by the Norwegian,
Swedish and Danish Governments as to
nonexportatlon of contraband goods when
consigned to named persons In tho terri
tories of thoso Governments and that or
ders had been given to tho British flee.tr
and customs authorities to restrict Inter
ference with neutral vessels carrying1 such
cargoes so consigned to verification of
ships' papers nnd cargoes.
FIVE MONTHS AND NO CHANGE.
"It Is, therefore, a matter of deep regret
that, though nearly Ave months have
passed since the war began, the British
Government has not materially ohanged
its policy and dors not treat less rigor
ously ships and cargoes passing between
neutral ports In the peaceful pursuit of
lawful commerce, which belligerents
should protect rather than Interrupt. The
preater freedom from detention and seiz
ure which was confidently expected to re
sult from consigning shipments to definite
consignees, rather than 'to order' is still
awaited.
"It is needless to point out to his
Majesty's Government, usually the- cham
pion of the freedom of the seas and the
rights of trade, that peace, not war. Is
the normal relation between nations, and
that the commerce between countries
which are not belligerent should not be
interfered with by those at war, unless
aueh Interference Is manifestly an Im
perative necessity to protect their nation
al safety, and then only to the extent
that It la a necessity,
"It Is with no lack of appreciation of
the momentous nature of the present
truoote In which Great Britain Is en
oaged and with no selfish desire to gain
undue commercial advantage that this
aovernment Is reluctantly forced to the
conclusion that the present policy of his
Majesty's Qovernment toward neutral
hips and cargoes exceeds the manifest
'necessity of a belligerent, and consti
tute restrictions upon the rights of
American citizens on the high seas which
are not Justified by the rules of Interna
tional law or required under the prlncl.
pie of self-preservation,
"The Government of the United States
does not Intend at this time to discuss the
propriety of Including certain articles In
the lists of absolute and conditional con-v
traband, which have been proclaimed by
his Majesty open to objection as somo
of these seem to this Government. The
chief ground of present complaint Is the
treatment of cargoes of both classes of
article when bound to neutral porta.

so numerous and delays so prolonged that
exporters are afraid to send their copper
to Italy, steamship lines decline to accept
It and Insurers refuse to Issue policies
upon It.
"In a word a legitimate trade Is being
greatly Impaired through uncertainty as
to thetreatment which It may expect at
the hands of the British authorities.
"Wo feel that we are abundantly Jus
tified In asking for Information as to the
manner In which the British Government
proposes to carry out the policy which
It has ndoptod in order that wo may
dotermlno tho steps necessary to pro
tect our citizens engaged In foreign trade
In their rlghta nnd from the serious
losses to which th'oy are liable through
Ignorance of tho hazards to which their
cargoes nro exposed.
CONTRABAND QUESTION,
"in tho enso of conditional contraband
the policy of Great Britain appears to
this Government to bo equally unjustified
by tho established rules of international
conduct. As evidences of this attention'
Is directed to the fact that a numbor of
the American cargoes which have boon
seized consist ot foodstuffs and other
articles of common use In all countries
which are admittedly relative contraband.
In spite of the presumption ot Innocent
use because destined to neutral territory,
tho British authorities made these seiz
ures and detentions without, so far ns we
are Informed, being In possession of facts
which warranted ft reasonable belief that
the shipments had In reality a belligerent
destination, as that term Is used In inter
national law. Mero suspicion Is not evi
dence, and doubts should be resolved In
favor of neutral commerce, not against It,
Tho effect upon trade In these articles be
twoen neutral nations resulting from In
terrupted voyages and detained cargoes
Is not entirely cured by reimbursement
of tho owners, for the damages which they
have suffered after Investigation has
failed to establish an enemy destination.
The Injury la to American commerce with
neutral countries as a whole through tho
hazard of the enterprise nnd thn repeated
diversion of goods from established mar
kets. v
FEAR ENEMY MI0HT BENEFIT.
"It also appears that cargoes of this
character have been seized by the British
authorities because of a belief that,
though not originally so Intended by the
shippers, they will ultimately reach the
territory ot the enemies of Great Britain.
Tct this belief Is frequently reduced to a
mero fear In view of tho embargoes
which have been decreed by the noutrai
coiujtrles to which they are destined on
the articles comprising the cargoes.
"That a consignment 'to order' of ar
ticles listed as conditional contraband
and shipped to a neutral port raises a.
legal pieaumptlon of enemy destination
appears to bo directly contrary to the
doctrines previously held by Great Brit
ain nnd thus stated by Lord Salisbury
during the South African war:
" 'Foodstuffs, though having a hostile
destination, can be considered a contra
band of war only If they are for the
enemy forces. It Is not sufficient that
they are capable of being so used. It
must be shown that this was In fact
their destination at the time of their
seizure.'
"With this statement as to conditional
contraband the views of this Government
are tn entire accord, and upon this his
toric doctrine, consistently maintained by
Great Britain, when a belligerent as well
ns a neutral, American shippers were
entitled to rely.
RIGHT OF SEARCH.
"The Government of tho United States
readily admits the full right of a belliger
ent to visit andjscarch on tho high seas
the vessels of American citizens or otljer
neutral vessels carrying American goods
and to detain them when there Is suffi
cient evidence to Justify a belief that con
traband articles are In their cargoes; but
his Majesty's Government, Judging by
their own experience In the past, must
realize that this Government cannot with
out protest permit American ships or
American cargoes to be taken Into British
porta and there detained for the purpose
of searching generally for evidence of
contraband or upon presumptions created
by special municipal actions which are.
clearly nt variance with International law
nnd practice.
"This Government 'believes and ear
nestly hopes his Majesty's Government
will come to the same belief, that a
course of conduct more In conformity
with the rules of International usage,
which Great Britain has strongly sanc
tioned for many years will In the end
better serve the Interests of belligerents
as well ob those of neutrals.
"Not only Is the situation a critical one
to the commercial Interest of the United
States, but many of the great Industries
of this country are suffering because
their products are denied the long.es
tabllshed markets In European countries,
Which, though neutral, are contiguous to
the nations at war. Producers and ex
porters, steamship and Insurance com.
panlis are pressing, and not without
reason, for relief from the menace ta
transatlantic trade which Is gradually
but surely destroying their business and
threatening them with financial disaster.
RELIES ON FRIENDSHIP
"The Government of the United States,
still relying upon the deep sense of. Jus
tice of the British nation which has been
so often manifest In the Intercourse be
tween the two countries during so many
years of uninterrupted, friendship, express
es confidently the hope that his Majesty's
Government will realize the obstacles and
.difficulties which their present policy has
placed in the way of commerce between
the United States and the neutral coun
tries of Europe end will Instruct) Its offi
cials to refrain from ail unntceisary in
terference with the freedom ot trade be
tween nations which w sufferers though
not participants In Jho present conflict,
and will in their treatment of Neutral
ships and cargoes conform more closely
to those rules governing the maritjmt re
lations between belligerent and neutrals
whicl) have received the sanction of the
civilized world and which Great Britain,
ha In other war so strongly and suc
cessfully advocated.
J'Jn conclusion It should be Impressed
upon his Majesty's Government that the
present condition of American trade with
the neutral European countries is such
that if It does not Improve It may en,
gender a feeling contrary to that which.
has so long existed peiween toe Amtrlcari
and British peoples. Already it I becom
ing woru and more tha subject of public
criticism and complaint. There; is an In
creasing belief, doubtlesa not entirely un
justified, that the present British pollgy
toward American trade la responsible for
the Upre4ion In pertuin Industrie which
depend upon European market.
"The attention of the British Govern
ment le called to thU posslb)-) rwult of
their present policy to show how wide
spread the effect u upn tfae industrial
lire of the United State and to ewphxei
the tiotKH-tancw of i-ciavvin the cause, vt
