CANNOT WAIVE RIGHT OF SEARCH ENGLAND WILL NOT ACCEPT CERTIFICATES AS ABSO LUTE GUARANTEE POSSIBILITY OF SHIFTING GOODS An Invitation for Smugglers to Re-Transfer Contraband to Skip of Certified Cargo. (By Associated Press.) LONDON, Jan. 6.-Although thc for eign office regards with high favor the American government's plan ot certifying cargoes destined for Eu rope, it was said today that England cannot accept such certification ss an absolute guarantee of the nature ot j the cargo in case cause for susptsion. arises after the vessel leaves America. I In other words, tho right of search cannot be waived because of the pos sibility of shifting cargoes at sea. The waiving ot thc right of search in the opinion of prominent British of ficiate, would be ea invitation, for smugglers to carry contraband to sea in small boats and retransfer it to i a ship of certified cargo. The position ls precisely the same ss that taken by the foreign office concerning certi ficates ot manifestations by British consuls at American porta The government constantly is in' communication With ri Viesen tail v<e? of Sweden, - Norway, Denmark and Holland, and it is reported these na tions are taking steps to revise their lists of prohibited exports to corres pond with the British contraband list. That would make possible a resump tion of shipping to neutral European countries from . America without de lays or danger ot seizure. - - j A. docldrJP.ly favorable impression has been produced here by-the Amer ican certification plan. British officials regard the suggestion as a farther manifestation of a desire to hasten a satisfactory settlement of the situa tion. Owing ti ths failure of Londc? newspapers to discuss the prelimin ary negotiations between Ambassador Page and Foreign Secretary Gray, ex torting ..Ver aSVeral weeks' before thc American note was presented, the Ein gi lah niiKlio waa not well advised concerning the differences which grew up. Even now the opinion is quito general, notwithstanding publication of the American note, that President Wilson denied England's right o? search. Consequently much of the shock occasioned by the presentation of the American note was due to mis apprehension and now' is disappearing on account ot the calm and friendly attitude of the government.
