NOTE To AUSTRIA
SENT BY LANSING
Answer to Protest Does Not
Agree With Warning Ma
tons Views on Trade.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Sec'y Of
State Lansing Tuesday sent a note to
the Austria Hungarian government in
which it is made plain that this gov
eminent does not agree with the Aus
tria-Hungarian contention that the ex-
portation of munitions from the
United States on the present scale is
not in consonance with the definition
of strict neutrality"
The note was cabled TO Ambassador
Penfeld, who probably will present it
to the Vienna foreign Office Thursday.
1t may be made public later by agree
ment between the two governments.
Though framed in diplomatic Ian
guage and entirely friendly in tone.
the reply is understood to repudiate
fatty the suggestion that the United
States has permitted violations Of neu-
trality, and to stand firmly upon the
right Of American exporters to send
war supplies to belligerents able to
purchase and receive them.
The United States always has held
that this is an unquestioned right UNI
der international law. and high Of
ficials have pointed out that to pre-
because another was not i'm a posi-
ton to receive them would in itself
be a violation Of neutrality. Prece-
dents also have been recalled where

tria imported arms extensively.

man note regarding the sinking of the

cabled to Berlin tonight and probably

While the original position of the
state department that the Prussian-
American treaty of 1928 was violated
by the destruction of the vessel is re-
affirmed, it is understood that the
United States now agrees to accept
payment for the Frye under the con-
ditiOns suggested in the last German
note, obviating an appeal to arbitra-
ton at The Hague.
Germany stipulates that payment
shall not involve admission OF a treaty
violation. The American note is said
to stipulate that no treaty rights are
waived by acceptance. The amount
TO be paid will be fixed by two COM
missioners. one appointed by each
government.
