is this true of Friday. A balmy

rain and many indeed were in
the potato patch that day. Plenty

Great-Britain must Hew to Line
Washington, Nov. 7.? 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.

blockade was instituted,
and announce that a separate
communication will be sent soon
dealing particularly with the
"propriety and right of the Brit
ish Government to include in
their list of contraband of war
certain articles which have been
so included."
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 U niteJ States, therefoie,
cannot submit to the curtailment
of its neutral rights by these'
measures, which are admittedly
retaliatory, and therefore illega^
in conception and 111 nature, and
intended to punish the enemies
of Great Britain for alleged
illegalities on their part. 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.
"Tne Government of the
United States desires, therefore,
to impress most earnestly upon
His Majesty's Government that
it must insist that the relations
betwjeen it and His Majesty's
Government be governed, not

which Great Britain in the pastl

day but of the future that the
principles of international right
be maintained unimpared. J
