ALLIED POSITION
IS REASONABLE
Willing to Grant America Everything
Not of Downright Prejudice to
their Cause

London, Jan. 8.-Great Britain's
reply to the United States note on
interference with American shipping,
it is said in well informed quarters,
is wholly conciliatory. and shows a
disposition to do everything within
reason to avert the delay of cargoes.
England wishes to do everything in
its power consistent with the proper
safeguarding of the allies interests,
to facilitate world trade and stimu-
late commerce. Consequently, it is
declared, there is no disposition on
England's part to protest against the
purchase of German vessels by Amer
leans where the sales are genuine and
the ships are not used so as to avoid
what might reasonably be called con-
sequences of the belligerency.
Use of transferred German ships
in cotton trade with Germany proba-
bly, would call forth objections froili
the allies, although cotton is not con-
traband, because the allies, it is said,
would regard such use as round
about means of escaping the wars eff
fects.
At any rate objection is not likely
to come until ships are actually
transferred and their prospective use
is clearly indicated. 1t is probable
the allies will take the position that
the sale money shall be held un-
til the close of the war as guarantee
that it will not be of help to belli-
gerents.
An assurance that German ships
purchased by the United States gov
ernment or its citizens would engage
only in the South American trade
probably would satisfy the allies.
While it is pointed out that sale OF
German ships in New York to the
American government or its citizens
| would inevitably relieve German citi-
