U. S. REPLY TO BRITAIN ON
EMBARGO IS NOT YET READY

Washington, March 23.--President
Wilson said to-day the American gov.
ernment's reply to the declaration by
Great Britain and France of an en-.
barge ON commercial intercourse be.
tween Germany and neutral countries
was not yet ready. At the same time
he declined to give any intimation of
its character because the document nau
not been finally put into definite shape
1t was made clear ut the White
House that there will be no further cor.
respondence with Germany or Great
Britain on obtaining an agreement with
reference to foodstuffs and the sub.
marine blockade, The President pointed
out to callers to-day that the American
government s suggestions were entirely
informal, that the United States of
course had no right to ask the two
belligerents to agree to anything be-
tween themselves, but thought as a
moral obligation il should suggest the
means by which Germany and Great
Britain could come into an agreement
if they desired on those maritime ques
tions.
