lowed to stand in it's present form, and
also be made public has not been dis

argument may be covered in the new
note and the previous communication
be withdrawn.
Deals With international Law.
The new note, it Is understood, is the
most formidable In point OF length and
scope of the entire series of communi-
cations exchanged by the two govern
ments on this subject. It is filled with
citations and deals at length with in
tricate questions of international law.
The British position on at least two
points not treated in the original note

er Neches, en- route from Rotterdam to

| can caveat of July II, declaring the
orders-in-council would not be recog-
nized by this government as a substi-
tute for international law-will be fully
argued.
Much Data Gathered.
Meanwhile much data has been
gathered by the state department upon
which to base a rejoinder which prob
ably viii be ready for President Will
sons consideration before he returns
| to Washington next week.
The accuracy of the figures produced
in previous British notes covering the
volume OF American expectations to
Germany and Austria via neutral ports
Is being scrutinized. The British con-
| tention is that these figures show
large Quantities of American cotton
and even military supplies have reach
| ed Germany and Austria via Sweden,
Denmark and Holland, virtually break
ing the allies blockade.
No Records of Illicit Traffic.
All these neutral countries now have
embargces against re-exportaion OF
such goods. Efforts of the state de-
partment to ascertain to what extent
these embargoes have been violated
have failed Naturally there are no
| records Of an Illicit traffic. The lack
of these statistics may prevent the
department from challenging success
fully the British figures. which are
based upon the normal consumption OF
American goods by the neutral coun-
tries involved as disclosed by ante
bellum statistics and American export
| figures showing the value of the war
time trade with those countries
