BLAMES GERMANY ' AS HER REASON 1 C o / n For Refusing to Accede to De- ? mands of The United I States s * ? m AMERICAN REPLY | BEING PREPARED threat Britain Will Continue to Apply the Orders in C A \ Council. x t , t State department officials last week 1 were preparing the answer which the I United States will make to Great ( jfcr Britain's replies to the latest Ameri- ^ r can representations against interfcrL. *nce with neutral commerce. r Great Britain, in her notes, refuses I to accept the American contention I that the orders in council are illegal and justifies the British course as be- < i ing wholly within international law. Great Britain, it is declared, will r continue to apply the orders in council, but with every effort to avoid em- 1 barrassment to neutrals. j It is denied that international law is violated by the blockading1 of neutral ports to cut of fan enemy's commerce with foreign countries and ; Great Britain declines to allow the free passage of goods originating in Germany and territory under German ' control. Great Britain's reply is embodied i^t two notes, one supplemental, and together with the correspondence over the American steamer Nechez, seized by the British while bound from Rotterdam to the United States with goods of German orie-in. also . I published today, totals seven thousI and words. I The supplemental rote is a reply I ti> the American caveat giving notice j I that the United States would not I recognize the orders in council in lieu I of international law and defends i| I prize court proceedings. The United | I Goi WI 11 MO 11 AN I II tvj 11 wt 11 MS TREXl / Supp itates is invited, however, to submit (j arbitration any prize court deciion it holds unjust. In the case of the steamer Nechez, etained under the orders in counil the note justifies British stoppage f commerce from Germany and German controlled territory on the rround that Germany has violated inernational law in her war on British , ,nd neutral commerce. An answer to the British notes hortly will be forth coming.
