Distinction Is Drawn,

The government Of the United States
also dissents from the view expressed
in your note that there would be no
foundation for a claim of the American
government unless the prize court
should not grant indemnity in accord
ance with the treaty. The claim pre-
scented by the American government is
for an indemnity for a violation Of
treaty, in distinction from an indem-
nifty in accordance with the treaty, and
therefore is a matter of adjustment by
direct diplomatic discussion between
the two governments, and is in no way
dependent upon the action of a German
prize court
For the reasons above stated, the
government Of the United States can
not recognize the propriety Of submit
ting the claim presented by it on beha II
of the owners and captain of the Fyre
to the German prize court for settle
ment.
The government Of the United States
Is not concerned with any proceedings
which the imperial German government
may wish to take on other claims of
neutral and enemy interested parties
winch have not been presented by the
government of the United States, but
make prize court proceedings in this
case indispensa BILE, and it does not per-
cefve the necessity for postponins the
settlement of the present claim pend
ing inc consideration of those other
claims by the prize court.
ihe government of the United
states. therefore. suggests that the
imperial German government recon-
slider the subject in the light of these
considerations. and. because of the OBJ
1ectfons against resorting to the prize
court, the government Of the United
states renews it's former suggestion
mat an effort be made to settle this
claim by direct diplomatic neeotia-
lions. T.HNaINC
