Washington Government to Contend

Washington, May 2I.-It became
known definitely that for the present,
while awaiting the German reply to
President Wilson's note on the Lu-
sitania disaster, this government will
not modify its policy regarding the
actions Of Great Britain in holding up
noncontraband shipments 49, although
the state. department does not ac-
quiosce in the memorandum given out
by the London foreign Office.
In fact surprise was expressed
among officials that London should
have designated as acceptable to the
United States government the nego-
tiations and arrangements being made
with American cotton shippers regard
ing the disposition Of their cargoes
Arrangements Not Sanctioned.
Secretary Bryan's statement on this
point, which indicates that as soon as
the German note is received this gov
crnment will turn more energetically
to it's problems with Great Britain,
says that such arrangements have not
had official sanction. The British am
bassadors suggestion that this under.
standing was due to an error in trans
mission of the memorandum, was ac-
cepted, however.
The impression is general in Off
cial circles that while this government
has in preparation strong protests to
Great Britain on the subject of inter
ference with noncontraband oversee
traffic the administration has definite
ly decided to mark time as to Great
Britain until Germany replies.
That the United States is prepared
to contend still further against the
