The American Note on Contraband

The memorandum Of the United States
dealing with Great Britain's contra
band policy as an interference with
legitimate American trade has been pre-
| scnted none too soon to prevent unwcl-
come controversy perilous to the friend
~ relations of the two countries. 1t -
to the execution OF that policy more
than to the expression of II that the
United States objects. But Great Brit.
ain Is inclined 10 extend unrea soma h! !
the conditional contraband list. 1t has
been well said. and the statement ap-
plies to both absolute and conditional
contraband. that "thc test to be ap-
piled is whether, under the special cir
cumstances of a particular war, the ar
ticle concerned Is by it's character prl-
marlly AMI ordinarily destined TO 10
made use Of for military or naval pur-
poses
If the United States had nothing to
say to the contrary. Great Britain would
have every article and product concclv-
ably useful to the enemy people treated
as conditional contrabnnd, although
carried in neutral ships. But tn"
United States. both "a a neutral nation
and ms n trading nation. cannot permit
Great Britain and her ally France TO
play fast and loose with the question of
what Is contraband and to detain Ameri-
can ships on the mere suspicion that
their cargoes include conditional con-
traband intended for the enemy. Grent
Britain herself has never hesitated to
assert her trading rights as against
bclligcrcnts. and sometimes. as in the
Russo japanese war. the United States
has Joined her in obIecting to items in
a contrahand list made arbitra rily by
a belllgerent. AS Il matter of fact. the
two countries hold the same view in
regard to many questions of interna
tional law that are still In controversy ::
and in more than one case Great Bit
ain has tncitly accepted an American
policy. for instance. the doctrine Of
continuous transport IA applied To
contraband Therefore II ought not to
he difficult for the United States and
Great Britain to come to a satisfactory
understanding.
The United States. to illustrate does
not object 10 the seizure Of any article
or product reasonably on the contra
band list If there is sufficient proof Of
itS dcstinal ion 10 Inc enemy. though
the Transporting ship delivers il at n
neutral port; but what the United
States does object TO Is an assumption
that the article or product is seizahlc
on the suspicion that It will he carried
overland into the enemys territory for
military uses. All that the United
States Government asks Of Great Brit
ain is rational attitude. sanctioned
by international law. toward ncutra,
goods I'm neutral ships and the exercise
Of II sane discretion in Selling and CON
dcmnng such goods. That IL 10 say.
the United States wants and will have
a square deal for her exporters and she
will insist upon due recognition of her
rights as a neutral Power. The United
States can require no less with self
respect. and Great Britain az n friend V
nation would be well advised TO he Il
