AMERICANS REJECT
AUSTRIAN PROTEST
STATE DEPARTMENT CLAIMS
RIGHT OF AMERICANS TO SHIP
AMMUNITION TO ALLIES.
Reasons Based on international Law
a Feature of the Answer Being the
Claim That Germany Sold England
Munitions During Boer War.

Notwithstanding state department
on August Is gave out the text OF
this governments reply to the pro
test of Austria Hungary against the
shipment of arms and ammunition to
the allies. The note rejects all oil
Austria's contentious.
The reasons given by the United
States for its position are:
"The principles of international law
the practice of nations, the national
safety of the United States and other
nations without great military and
naval establishments; the prevention
Of increased armies and navies, the
adoption of peaceful methods for the
adjustment of international difficult
ties and finally neutrality ITSELF"
The reply says that if neutrals were
compelled to prevent sales to bellig'
erents all nations would be obliged to
have at all times sufficient munitions
of war to meet any emergency"
The United States has always de.
pended on the right and power to pur,
chase arms and ammunition from neu
trail nations in case of foreign attack
In consequence of its standing policy
the United States would, says the
note. Sin the event of attack by for
eign power. be at the outset of the wal
seriously, IL not fatally, embarrassed
by the lack of arms and ammunition
and by the means to produce them IN
sufficient quantities to supply the re
quirements of national defense"
One Of the features of the reply Il
the assertion that during the Boer wal
Germany sold war supplies to Grea
Britain and that Austria Hungary solC
them to the same purchaser, though
In smaller quantities"
The point is made that II Austrit
and Germany had refused to sell arm
and ammunition to Great Britain a
that time, Austria might with create
consistency and greater force urge 1t
present contention
II Is stated also that Prussian manu-
tacturers sold arms to Russia durinI
the Crimean war and that German,
sold arms to the Turkish government
in the recent war between Turkey an
Italy.
