Washington, Aug. 24.-Cotton car
goes for neutral countries will not be
confscated under the reccn: decree Of
the allies declaring cotton contraband
if within the normal consumption of
those countries. This issuance was
given cotton shippers today in state
ment issued from the British en-
bassy.
The statement reads:
"It is misapprehension to suppose
that the declaration of cotton to be
contraband will further restrict those
consignments of cotton to neutral
countries which are proved to be ex-
clusively destined for the normal con-
sumption of those countries. The en-
bassy has no authority, however, to
give any assurance as to the .immu-
nifty of particulac. shipments, but un-
der the pr2cedureSNS Sisa1effasstiefslaf af1- !
dence of ultimate enemy destination
will be necessary to the condemnation
of cotton as lawful prize"
The declination of the British en-
bassy to give any pledge as to what
will be done with any particular cot
ton shipment is understood to bc bas-
ed upon the fact that it will he for
the home authority to determine what
