REPLY TO COMPLAINTS
TO lie VIGOROUS DENIAL

II IS understood that the reply to
the present complaint will deny
vigorously that this government has
acquicsced in any way 10 the order in
council, and probably will refer 10 the
last note sent by the United States 10
Great Britain, arguing at length in op-
position TO the Viewpoint of the allies
on the blockade question.
As for the uttcranccs OF the Prcsi-
dent on the shipments OF arms into
Mexico. officials here hold ,hat the
Mexican situation constitutes a special
case in. no way comparable with the
relations between the United States
and the European belligerents. Of

URGES THAT SPIRIT or
NEITRALTrY HE OBSERVED

The note urges that, Irrespective OF
the formal aspects OF the question OF
shipping arms to bellgcrents. the
spirit of neutrality should be Observed
! In support o! this contention. a quota
ton is cited from President Wilson's
address to Congress on Mexican af-
fairs in 1919, when he said:
Il shall follow the best practice Of
nations in the matter OF neutrality by
forbidding the expectation Of arms or
munitions OF war Of any kind from
the United states TO any part Of the
republic OF Mexico. a policy suggested
by several interesting precedents, and
certainly dictated by manifest con-
sidcrations OF practical expediency
We cannot. in the circumstances, be
