ALLIES RETALIATORY
 PLAN CRITICIZED BY
 LONDON NEWSPAPER
Would Refuse to Neutrals Shipments Allowed English Consumers From Germany-Not Within Inter-
 national Law

London, March 5.-(6:1O D. m.)-The Weekly Nation discusses in it's leading article the proposed reprisals by the allies against shipping to and from Germany and asks by what right England can refuse America leave to import dyes from Germany when England herself has issued licenses to her traders to buy dyes from that source
 .'lt seems clear to us that if the navy receives a general order to arrest all neutral shipping on suspicion of Ger man origin or destination for their car goes our prize court and our foreign office will not lead uneventful lives' the Nation says. It considers that the allies can tighten the existing siege of German coasts without setting up a siege against neutral nations or stopping trade which we do not declare to be illegal or against which we do not take measures that in- ternational law requires neutrals to re- spect."
