been seriously nterfeed with by
Great Britain.
Officials point out that the exporta-

the United States have increased 300
per cent since the war broke out.
They say that other increases have
been smaller. but that the entire bal
ance of the export trade shows a dis.

as Germany Is to be starved out, there

The chief question at issue, It is
stated here. Is an administrative one.
President Wilson's own admission
that there has been deception prac-
ticed by shippers through the issu-
ance OF false manifests and the con-
cealing OF contraband In non-contra-
band cargoes is declared to justify
England's insistence on the right OF
search. Therefore because under
modern conditions such search is Inn.
possible on the high seas, the only
method that can be followed Is to take
these vessels into the nearest British
port.
Officials are hopeful that q method
will be found which will cause the
least irritation and prevent losses to
honest American shippers.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.--An imme-

expected by this government to It's
note protesting against British inter
ference with United States commerce.
This was declared today by high gov
ernment officials. They do not be-
lieve a rejoinder will be forthcoming
short of two or three weeks.
Delay In the British reply, 1t was
pointed out, hinges upon two features
the serious character OF the protest
and necessity for great consideration
and care In framing the reply. Also
the situation Is not considered imme-
ldiately critical or urgent. For ave
months the conditions complained OF
by the United States have existed
and no urgent, important case involv-
ing American shipping is now at 10
sue. +
Some delay, however. In transmits
sion OF the note Is puzzling President
Wilson and his advisors. The Amer
