UNITED -STATES8 ROE
in Note to Great Britain 4
Blockade "inefective, i
Washington, Nov. 7.-The United
States in its latest note to Great
Britain, made public here today, cov
ering exhaustively British interference
with American trade since the begin
ning of the European war, declares
that the socalled blockade instituted
by the allies against enemy countries
on March I is "ineffective, Illegal
and indefensible." Notice is served
that the American government "can
not submit to the curtailment of its
neutral rights," and it can not "with
complacence suiller further subordina
tion of its rights andl interests."
Abassador Page to whoin the note
was sent by special messenger for
delivery to the London foreign ofice,
was instructed by Secretary Lansing
"to impress most earnestly" upol the
British government that the United
States "must insist that the relations
betweeni it and I his majesty's govern
ment be governed, not by a policy of
expediency but by those established
rules of international conduct to which
Great Britain in the Ipast has held the
United, States to account when the
latter nation was a belligerent engag
ed in a struggle for national exist
ence."
Declaring the United States "un
hesitatingly assumes" the task of
championing the integrity of neutral
rights, the note proclaims that the
American government ,will devote its
energies to the task, exercising always
an importial altitude.
The note, nearly 15,000 words in
length, was made public by agreement
between the State department and the
Iireisi foreign oflce. It carries with
it a vol uminiouis appendix, giving the
text of tle American naval instrue
tions issued in 1862 and a su mmary
anid table showing hundreds of v'essels
detaiicl 1w nridsh un --' s ince

shown that the methods sought to be
employed by Great Britain to obtain
and use evidence of enemy destination
of cargoes bound for neutral ports
and to impose a contraband character
upon such cargoes are without justi
fication; that the blockade, upon
which such methods are partly found
ed, is ineffective, illegal and Inde
fensible; 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 United States, therefore, can not
slibmit to the curtailment of its
neutral rights by these measuires,
which are adimittedly retaillatory. and
therefore illegal, in conception and in
nature, and intended to punxii tlie
eneni es of Great Britain for alleged
illegalities oil their part.- The United
States might not. be in a position to
object to t hem if its interests and
the interests of all neutrals were un
affeced by thei, bit, being affected,
it can not with comilacence suffer

the two months' plan for the continen

b~e unjust for a man to have to gIve
