The United States in its latest note to 1 Great Britain, made public here today, covering exhaustively British interference with American trade since the beginning of the European War, declares that the so called blockade instituted by the Allies against enemy countries on March 11 is "ineffective, illegal and indefensible." Notice is served that the American Goverment "cannot submit to the curtailment of its neutral rights," and it cannot "with complacencesuffer further subordination of its rights and interests. Ambassador Page to whom the note was sent by special messenger for delivery to the London Foreign Office, was in structed by Secretary Lansing "to impress most earnestly" upon the British Government that the United States "must- insist the relations between it and His Majesty's Government be governed, not by a policy of expediency but by those established rules of international corduct to which Great Britain in the past has held the United States to account when the latter Nation was a belligerent engaged in a struggle for National existence." Declaring the United States "unhesitatingly assumes" the task of championing the integrity of neutral rights, the note proclaims that the American Government will devote its energies to the tcielr Qvnrnlcln * an, vaciv.i3iuk always vtu impartial attitude. The note nearly li),000 words in length, was made public by agreement between the State Department and the British Fore ign Office. It carries with it a voluminous appendix, giving the text of American naval instruc , tions issued in 1862 and a sum mary and table showing hun- j dreds of vessels detained by , British authorities since the be ginning of the present war.

In conclusion, after an argument on the law and facts, Secretary Lansing sa>s: "I believe it has been conclusively shown that the methods sought to be employed by Great Britain to obtain and use evidence of enemy destination oi cargoes bound for neutral ports and to impose a contraband character upon such cargoes are without justification; that the blockade, upon which such methods are partly founded is ineffective, illegal, and indefensible; that the judicial procedure offered as a means of reparation for an international injury is inherently defective for the purpose; and that in many cases jurisdiction is asserted in violation of the law of Nations.

The Uniteq States might not be in a position to object to them if its interests and the interests of all neutrals were unaffected by them,, but, being affected, it cannot With complacence suffer further subordination of its rightsj and interests to the plea that the exceptional geographic positiop of th? enemies of Great Britain icifuiic ui jusuiy oppressive ana illegal practices.
