ENGLAND's DOUBLE POLICY.

ENGLAND'S DOUBLE POLICY.
The recent search Of vessels and
seizure of American food stuffs by
Great Britain involves something more
than an indemnity to be paid American
owners Of the, cargo, and the settlement
should call for a disavoBaI Of the act
Of interference with American COM
merce.
The war of 1912 practically settled
the claim of the right Of search and
seizure of neutral vessels. In the set
Element Of the Mason and SIidelI case
in the time Of the civil war, England
pronounced against the right Of search
or seizure Of a neutral vessel sailing
from a neutral port to a neutral port,
and the contention was allowed by Mr..
Seward, then secretary of state, as set
ting the controversy Of 1872 and com
hitting both nations to the rule.
In the Delagoa bay seizures England
turns around and does the very thing
dissvOwed at that time. All that has
been given out on the subject is that
Great Britain will settle, but no word
Of disavOwal Of the act, and yet it is
said that the answer is eminently salts
factory to the state department at
Washington. Nothing more than NOR
bid cOmplacency in the matter could
be expected Of such a pro British ad-
ministratiOn as that Of William MeKin-
ley. 1t is a bastard American policy.
