understanding the seriousness of the
situation To American industries would
take steps to amelieorate the condi-
tons against which this government
protested.
From the way the president dis
cussed the situation With callers it
is evident that the Washington gov
eminent had spoken firmly of its de-
sire for improvement in the conditions
of European commerce. and was pre-
pared to further insist on it's rights.
The president declared that the theory
eXpounded by the United States in the
note, Vas, from the American point
of view, hardly debatable as England
had adhered in previous wars to the
contentious now advanced by the
Washington government.
During the cabinet meeting it was
suggested that in order to support the
American government in its efforts to
protect cargoes of non-c ontraband
goods, shippers and shipping compan-
les should be warned against the con-
cealment of doubtful articles on the
same ships The White House then
issued its suggestion to American ship
pers to be careful about manifests de-
scri5ing their cargoes. The president
said the great embarrassment to the
government in dealing with the whole
mater was that some shippers had
concealed contraband in the cargoes of
non -contraband articles.
| So long as there are instances of that
| kind. the president added, suspicion
| would be cast on every shipment and
| all cargoes are liable to doubt and TO
| be searched.
State department officials said later
| that there were two cases in which
this occurred and that Great Britain
had consequently used them as basis
for & general search.
| Solicitor Cone Johnson declared it
was absurd that any general conspir-
acy to conceal contraband in cotton
| shipments should exist because of the
mechanical difficulties involved in such
an undertaking. but he pointed out
| that one or two isolated cases would
embarrass all shipments.
| Sir Cecil Spring Rice, British am
| bassador. who received q copy of the
note at the same time it was sent to
| London to be transmitted to Sir Ed
ward Grey. British foreign secretary,
| declined to make any comment on it.
In congress the note was referred to
! in a speech by Representative Mann,
| minority leader, who commended the
administration position and action.
| Senator smith of Georgia placed be-
| fore the senate kilograms of protest
from his constituents against Britainis
action in putting turpentine and rosin
on the contraband list. Senator Walsh
| introduced a resolution asking for in
formation about the American govern
ments correspondence with foreign
powers concerning seizures of copper.
| It became known that protests against
| the attitude of the allies on the sub
| iect of contraband have been coming
| to the state department through sena-
tors from various parts of the country,
| and the situation was reviewed to some
extent in the American note of yes
| terday.

months, between Ambassador Page
and Foreign Secretary Grey have
conferred about the detention and ulti-
mate destination of the American
cargoes in question. The present
protest summarizes all the grievances
of the United States in this connec-
ton. The British foreign office con-
stantly reiterated its regret at the
delay of American ships, and high
officials have expressed a desire to
expedite the examination of Ameri-
can cargoes as speedily as possible
under existing and trying conditions.
All Factors Not Noted.
The statement that delaying car
goes by British authorities is held re-
sponsible for certain depression in
American trade created some sur
prise among officials. who voiced to-
day the idea that Americans holding
such views must fail to realize the
wide, sweeping effect upon American
commerce of the disappearance OF
German merchant ships from the sea
us well as other effects of the war
beyond the control of Great Britain
and her allies. 1t is generally be-
lieved in London that the foreign of
flee will make a detailed statement
as to the activities of the navy il
OBTAINING suspected cargoes which
will put these contraband troubles in
different light.
The foreign office has time and
again expressed its regret that mer-
chants in no way violating neutrality
should suffer delay because their ship
,nents were mixed with copper and
other articles declared to be contra
band, which frequently have found
hidden under coal and other heavy
cargoes, but at the same time II
takes the position that trans-ship-
ments at sea, and other sharp prac-
tees have made a careful inspection
imperative to the welfare of the al
lies. Frequently cargoes are so load
ed that inspection makes necessary a
complete shifting of virtually every-
thing in the vessel.
The statement that this protest 81
the United States was thoroughly APP
proved by President Wilson created
much comment here and also had
added weight : in its effect, although
there is some disposition in London

British officials expressed surprise
at the disposition on the part OF
certain Americans to blame Great
Britain for being one of the causes

held by them to be due to over-pro
ductfon and not to any action on the
part of the British government

commerce departments look forward
tG the conference us an important
step toward bringing the two Ameri-
can continents in closer commercial
relationship than ever before. They
point out that in the American
movement lies the hope Of South
America for financial aid from indie
pendent Europe and suggest the pos
slbifity of New York becoming at
least a serious competitor with Lon
don for the supremacy as the world 5
financial center.
1t had long been recognized that
the crux of the difficulties which in
the way of the commerce between
the United States and the other
American nations lies in the question
of credits. South and Central Ameri-
can buyers have been accustomed to
seek and easily obtain long term
credits in Europe.
At present the bankers of the
United States do practically no bust
ness direct with South America ard
the foreign exchange with the coun-
tries there is carried on through Lon
don Largely to this has been at
tfbuted the com paratively small
amount of trade between the United
States and her next door neighbors

out in Europe, South America suf-
fcred a severe shock to her system

American banks established branches

however, there is 50 far no great
stimulus with this country and no
well defined movement to make di-
rect banking operations possible.
Officials who heard the plan dis
cusscd expect to see an Interchange
OF views at the forthcoming confer
ence that win lead to the establish
ment of many connections with
houses in the United states and

can countries, as Well as more

The detailed arrangements for the
conference have nor been taken up,

That the University of Arizona is

various departments, and that more
money must be forthcoming in tie

will be impaired, was brought out
forcibly by Pres. r. &. Won Klein

at the afternoon session. In his re

the institution, Dr.. kleinSmid en-
phasized the point that the university
could not hope to retain the services
of good men on the faculty if they
were not given the amount needed
to carry out the work of their sew
eral departments. He said that the
university would ask the Legislature
for an appropriation for a new ply

from $4,000 to 100000 and $150,-

dition to $4,000 for maintenance and

ing department of home economies
was also emphasized.
