DECLARED WITHIN RIGHTS.
State Department Comments on Brit
ish Mines in the North Sea.

That the British are wholly within
their rights in mining the North sea
and that no protest will be made by
the Washington administration is the
opinion of State Department officials.
They interpret the notification re-
ceived from the British government as
not meaning that American and other
neutral ships are forbidden to enter
those waters. 1t is viewed simply as a
warning that ships entering the North
sea do so at their peril
The offer to provide pilots and sail
ing directions for such neutral vessels
as care to make the passage through
the British channel is not regarded as
a mandate, but rather as convenience
extended to neutral shipping to facili-
tate their voyages.

into the cotton pool
Allotments have been made of the
proportionate payments Of the different
institutions and they have been asked
to present the matter to their directors.
The report of Chairman Harper of the
committees appointed to Investigate
the matter plainly pointed out the ne
cessjty therefor and was referred to
the various banks with strong recon-
mendations.
Should any of the banks decline to
participate in the relief measures there
will be no trouble in placing their
quota OF the loan elsewhere.
