LONDON. March 4.
The nrillsh Government will not under
take to enter into any arrangement or un
derstanding whatever with Germany un
less the United Stales should bo willing
to make herself icsponslblo for the fulfil
ment ot the contract by Germany.
Although the foimal icply to President
Wilson's noto has not et been dratted, It
Is i arned on the highest authority that
the Government will take this position.
Great Britain will refuso to accept any
pledges from he Kaiser's Government
which tho United State3 does not bind
herself to enforce with all tho means at
her command, even fo the extent ot de
claring war upon Germany.
Beginning with the violation of neutral
ity in Luxembuig and then In Belgium,
Britain points to a long list of Instances
in this war in which she asserts that Ger
many has failed to keep her word or has
behaved with a lawless disrcgaid of the
rights of others, and which, she argues,
make It Impossible to deal with her on a
basis of mutual trust. Great Britain,
therefore, will discount no German paper
unless It Is backed by the signature of
Washington.
To what extent they will bo prepared
to bargain with the enemy, should Amer
ica agree to take such a step and such
n dcvlopmcnt Is regarded here as most
unlikely British ofllclals aro disinclined
to pi edict, but It Is admitted that the
situation would be altered if this weie to
happen.
The governmental attitude at present
may be summed up ns follows: Supposing
Germany were to withdraw her war zono
deciec and call in her submarines, and
Great Biltain were to permit her to re
ceive foodstuffs and noncontraband raw
meiclinntmen ns soon ns she has obtnlncd
.sultlelont Importo In satisfy her more
pressing needs?
The order In Council, putting the Eng
lish declaration against German com
merce Into effect. It Is stated autliorllu
tlvely. will explain the details as to how
the Admiralty will proceed In enforcing
Its sweeping plan. The exact date of tho
order has not yet been decided, but proba
bly It will be puhll'hi it In a few days.
Exports tloiiH from fiermnny of such
goods as Client Britain deshes and Is able
to obtain from that country will bo pei
nilttrd by the British Government, not
withstanding the declaration ot Premier
Asqullli that Great Uiltaln and her nlllcs
would movent commodities of any kind
from reaching or leaving Germany.
This point wns made cleat- In a state
