SHIFTING POLICY
CAUSED PROTEST
England'S S Declaring Whatever
She Pleased COntraband Of
War Started the Trouble

Washington, Dee. 30.--It was learned
from a high state department official
this afternoon that the final cause
which prompted President Wilson s pro.
test was Great Britain S constantly
shifting policy regarding contraband.
In November, he said, Sir Cecil Ar.
thur Spring Rice, the British ambassa.
dor here, presented a note from Foreign
Secretary Sir Edward Grey agreeing
that turpentine and rosin should no
longer be considered cOntraband. The
state department Immediately notified
American shippers to this effect. Short
ly afterward the state department
learned that England had placed tur.
pcntine and rosin back on the contra.
band list and seized such cargoes as
rapidly as British warships found them.
British officials explained that they
had learned later that the Germans
were using turpentine and rosin in the
manufacture Of new kind Of bomb.
II was understood that one Of the
strongest features of the protest was
based on the seizure by British war
ships Of copper destined to Italy and
the scandinavian nations. Some com
plants received said that British inter
ests, seeing American firms were grab
bng their commerce, had inspired the
British government to put copper on
the contraband list.
direct indication that other nations
were preparing to join the United
States in its protest was seen today
when several foreign diplomats asked
fer copies of the note. Copies were
furnished to the representatives OF
Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and
Holland.
Ambassador Page cabled the state
department from London this afternoon
that Foreign Secretary Grey was moi
in the city, and that formal acltnow
edgment Of the receipt Of the note could
not ne expected until his return.
