THE BRITISH NOTE.

Conceding the admirable tone
and temper of the British note.
and admitting the force Of much
OF the argument, the British case
nevertheless is fatally weak in that
the blockade is not applied i'm
partially to the ships of all ma
tions."
No attempt is made to enforce
the blockade in the Baltic. Ger
man traffic with Norway, Sweden
and Denmark goes on without in
terruption. Where it is conven-
lent for Great Britain to enforce
the blockade, the restrictions are
drastic. Where not, no pretense
Of effective enforcement is made
Under the form Of blockading
Germany, Great Britain in reality
is bloCkading the United States,
while permitting German com
merce with the Scandinavian
States to proceed without restraint
1t is useless TO deny that chang
ing conditions OF warfare modi-
fy the ancient rules Of blockade.
The United States would be the
last country in the world to re-
pudiate its own record. But there
are two principles Of blockade
which cannot be set aside with
out abandoning the whole struc-
turc of international law as affect
ing the trade rights OF ncutrals
One is that the blockade must be
effective and the other is that i,
must be impartial, and these rule.
are now habitually disregarded by
Great Britain.

should become excited over a
mere matter of dollars and cents.
1t must be conceded by all fair
minded persons that there is a
mooted legal question involved
regarding England's right to seize
and hold for, prize courts vessels
which she has reason to suspect
are intended for her enemy. And
until this question is threshed out
and finally determined we can af-
ford to wait.
But in the case Of the Lusitania,
not to mention many others, the
German government had no war
rant in law or humanity. These
are the reasons why the Labor
Advocate has taken the position
which is not considered fair by its
correspondent.
When the allies begin to com
nit murder instead of waging
war, then "A Reader" will see
whether we are pro-ally or not.
