ENGLAND WILL NOT ACCEPT CERTIFICATES AS ABSO LUTE GUARANTEE POSSIBILITY OF SHIFTING GOOPS An Invitation for Smugglers to Re-Trnnsffer Contraband to Ship of Certified Cargo. (By Anwifciwl Pre?.) LONDON. Jan. G.-Although the for eign office regarda with bli<h favor the American government's plan certifying cargoes' destined for Eu rope, it was saki today that England cannot accept such; certification as an absolute guarantee of the nature of the cargo in case cause for susplsion arises after the vessel heaves America. In other words? .tte right of search cannot be waived Because of the pos sibility of shifting| cargoes at sea. The waiving ofihc Fight of search in the opinion of prominent British of ficials, would be 'an Levitation for smugglers to carri contraband to in small boats aid) retransfcr lt to a ship of certified ?cargo. The position is precisely the same as that taken by the foreign office concerning certi ficates of manifestations by' British consuls at American ports. The government constantly ls tn communication with, rtl^esentetlvcft of Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Holland, and it is reported these na tions are taking sUps'to revise their lists of prohibited- exports to corres pond with the British contraband Hst, That would maka possible a resump tion ot shipping to neutral European countries from America without d? laya or danaet: orausum ^ A^frflffija, jgji able- impression has been produced1 here by the 'Amer ican certification plea. British officials renard the suggestion as a further matu?--dtb??? ni-a desire te hasten a satisfactory settlement of the situa tion. .Owing io, the failure of London newspapers to discuss the prelimin ary negotiations between Ambassador pegs end Foreign Secretary Grey, ea ter Reg vVer esVeral weeks before tho American note was presented, the English public was not well advised concerning the differences which grew up. Even now tho opinion is quite general, notwithstanding publication of the American note, that President Wilson denied England's right or search. Consequently much of the shook occasioned by the presentation of the American note was due to mis apprehension, and now' is disappearing on account of the calm- and friendly attitude of the government.
