The British communication was care
fully phrased and contains no mention of
the so-called snip purchase bill This was
necessary, as Sir Edward Grey could
hardly be put In the position OF lodging a
protest against a measure which has not
yet passed either house OF Congress and
which does not in terms declare the In
tention of the United States Government
to purchase and set on the high seas ves-
sells now flying the flag of Englands enc
mics just as clearly as these circum-
stances would permit, however Il was in
timated to Secretary Bryan that he could
not expect the British Government would
silently acquiesce In such action being
taken
II was pointed out that a sharp dis
tinction exists In the minds OF the British
Government between the commercial
transaction of transferring a vessel from
one flag 20 another. and the general re-
lease Of number OF informed belligerent
ships The latter case would, Il was
pointed out. bear an intimate relation with
the question OF neutrality.
The declaration was made that should

OF the belligerents from the consequences

Britain would regard as an unfriendly

BRYAN SOUGHT RULING
ON INTERNED VESSELS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.--In view O;
statements made in official quarters and
Congress to-day it is necessary to re-
iterate what was said in a Washington
despatch to THE Sun yesterday, that
Secretary Bryan has received a COM
munication making the fact unmis-
.taltably clear that the British Govern
meut would regard the purchase and
operation Of informed German vessels
by the United States as an unneutral
act
Such a communication. dated Jam
uary 10, was received by Mr.. Bryan and
II is to be presumed that It is still In
his office. Developments here, however,
indicate that Mr.. Bryan has not seen
At to inform the President or his asso-
clates in the State Department or Ad-
ministration leaders in charge OF the
ship purchase bill Of what he has
learned OF the British Governments
views.
At the White House It was declared
there is no such communication. Rep
resentative Underwood ON the floor Of
the House made similar statement
In fact much comment was caused by
the eagerress of those most lLterested In
the passage of the ship purchase bill to
rush forth with denials OF the existence

Mr. Underwood's statement.

Representative Underwood said:
II saw the telegram In the morning
paper stating that there was letter
from Sir Edward Grey protesting against
the purchase OF these ships. and | called
up the State Department and asked II that
statement In the morning papers was
correct. and am authorized by the state
Department to deny categorically that the
statement is correct. There is 10 such
letter there and never has been such
letter mere" Applause on the Demo
cratic side.
Were IL not for the well known fact
that Mr.. Bryan often fails TO inform other
officials of the state Department OF COM
munications received the statements
made by officials to-day regarding the
presentation OF Britih views on whole
sale release OF informed bclligerent ships
would be surprising, particularly IN view
OF the fact that the communication re-
ferred to was received in response to
request OF Secretary Bryan himself.
In other words. the document. the ex
istence OF which is denied. was received
by Mr. Bryan for the sole reason that ne
mad asked for H. As a result OF the
discussions growing out Of the exchanges
between the two Governments in the
Dacia case a request was made that the
views of the British Government on the
subject be presented This was done.
