these arrangements require some
time for adjustment. Meanwhile 1t Is

of trade, the owners drew bills TO the
value Of their goods before or at the
time Of shipment and If such bills
have been negotiated IN the usual
way, Il ~ difficult To understand why

venience on this account ut least be-
fore the date when the bills fall due.

"Scvcnth-~On an impartial review
OF the facts II will his maicsty's gov
crnment feel sure, hc admitted that
no arbitrary Interference With
American interests has In regard TO
these cargoes, occurred, seeing that
his majesty's government have acted
throughout in conformity with the
terms Of an Arrangement agreeable
to the interests concerned, and that
United states citizens Will suffer no
pecuniary loss.
"Elghth-As regards other Ameri-
can cargOes, or portions Of cargoes
which have been placed in the prize
court, his majesty's government re-
sort to this measure In cases where
either the goods concerned are contra

Causes for Long Delay.
"Nlnth--It is true that number
of these cases have been pending in
the prize court for some time. This
Is notably the case In regard to Ger

of meat and lard ostensibly consign-
ed To scandinavian ports. The United

involved I'm these instances is due to
the fact that the negotiations have
been carried on for several weeks

American meat packers with an
agreement designed TO limit impor-

Il part Of the settlement TO be agreed
upon that his majestN's government
should buy the carsoes of several
tships now held up IN the prize court.
Hence the delay in bringing these
cases to adjudication.
