Document Will Be Sent to Great Britain and France Within the Next Few Days
ATTITUDE SIMILAR
 TO THAT II. s. HELD
 DURING CIVIL WAR
U. s. Interpretation of Con tinu0us Voyage" MiscOn- strued yRecent Exchange of Views, Is Claim

Washington, March 22.--Prcsident Wilson had under consideration todn, the draft of note to be sent tn .rent Hritain and France presenting the blockade of commerce between Ger many and neutral countries.
 It was stated officially that the com munication would go forward within q few days. No statement as to it's char acter was made. though in well informed quarters t was understood that strore objections would be voiced on tie ground that the blockade was based on no prece- dent in law OF history
 Some officials indicated that the att tftude of the United States would be the same as that held during the Civil war. They suggested that since the recent ex- change of notes with Great Britain there had been a popular misconception as 10 the position of the Washington sovern- ment in 1868. It was said that the at- titude of the United states on the doctrine of Continuous voyage" had been best expressed in the cases of the Springbos and the Peterhoff, two English vessels captured and taken into prize courts.
 The Springbok Case
 The springbolk was captured while on route from England to a British port in the Bahamas. She was laden with gun powder and army supplies. The supreme court of the United States, to which the case was appealed, ruled that the ap- parent destination of the vessel was the Confederate States and the fact that the
 
 not alter the continuity of her voyage The court held that the cargo should be condemned and that vessels which could be proved to be intending to violate a blockade could be intercepted at any stage in their journey.
 In the case of the Peterhoff, and others known as the 'Matamoros cases" how ever, q ruling was made an entirely different set of circumstances constitut- ing, in the view of officials here, al- most an exact parallel with the situa- tion today with respect tu commerce be- tween the United States and Holland or other countries contiguous to those at war. The Peterhoff was captured while on route from England to Matamoros. Mexico, and her cargo was condemned by a prize court. When appealed to the supreme court Chief Justice Chase ruled that the mouth of the Rio Grande was not included in the blockade of the ports of the Confederate States and that neutral commerce with Matamoros except on con- traband was entirely free.
 Justices Ruling
 Tie chief justice hsld that neutral trade to or from blockaded country by inland navigation or transportation is lawful" and therefore. that trade be- tween London and Matamoros, even with intent to supply, from Matamoros. goods to Texas. violated no blockade, and can- not be declared unlawful"
 This position, officials indicated, might be referred to in the forthcoming Ameri- can communication to Great Britain and France, who have declared. through the order in council. their intention of de- taining '.all commerce. whether in con- traband or noncontraband.
