received from the New.York Chamber OF Commercs,

statement Of the Solicitor General, are susceptible
of being easily evaded, which appears 10 be e9u-
6-rpoA by the fact of the Alabama having evaded
Them Notwithstanding that her destination Ws rea-
sonsbly suspected, and that the attention OF our
Government was directed to her while IN course
OF construction with the view Of having the act
put in force against her wherever sufficient
iegi evidence should sppear for doing 30;
that this alleged insuficiency Of tie act
tends 70 expose professions OF neutrality to the
charge Of insincority, aud to establish precedent
which may ~ some future time he turned with
harrassing effect against ourselves. That, In con.
riderstion Of the above evils, this Committee Is OF
opinion that The Liverpool Chamber OF Commerce

endeavor, III concert with the Government Of the
United States, 20 make such alterations IN the
Foreign Enlistment acts Of both countries as shall
seem best calculated TO prevent systematic evasion,
and restrain the citizens Of those States from contra
Nenng the earnest desire Of tnar respective Govern
Inents TO maintain upon all OCCASIONS strictly
neutral attitude toward friendly Powers, who may
happen to be belligerents, and that a copy of this
report be transmitted 70 the Nsw-Yolk Chamber Of
Commerce"
