U. s. REFUSES TO ADMIT RIGHT OF ALLIES TO MAKE TRADE EMBARGO
tContinued from Page onc)

the rules hitherto governing legal block ade were formulated It might be ready 10 admit that the old form of close
 blockade with it's cordon of ships in the immediate offins of the blockaded ports is no longer practicable in face of an ene- my possessing the means and opportunity 10 make an effective defense by the use of submarines, mines and air craft: but it can hardly be maintained that, what ever form of effective blockade may be made use of, it is impossible to conform at least to the spirit and principles of the established rules Of war. If the neees- sities of the case should seem to render 1t imperative that the cordon of block ading vessels be extended across the ap- breaches to any neighboring neutral port or country, it would seem clear that it would still be easily practicable to com ply with the well recognized and req sonable prohibition of international law against the blockading of neutral ports by according free admission and exit to all lawful traffic with neutral ports through the blockading cordon. This traffic would, of course. include all out ward-b -bound traffic from the neutral coun- try and all inward-bound traffic to the neutral country except eontraband in tram sit to the enemy.

SAYS CONSTRUCTIVE
 PEACE POSSIBLE

Boston, April 5.-Former President Taft speaking before the New England Wom- ans club today said that a constructive peace in Europe would be possible if neither side won decisively. because the victor would realize that permanent peace would depend on his terms being just.
 q believe he said that practical constructive peace is one that shall pro- vide an international court for the set ting of international disputes"
 MT. Taft declared that existing arbl- traitor treaties between the United States and other nations provide for the settlement of all question except those which are likely to lead to war, and therefore, are of little practical use ex- cept as an expression of good will.

not conflict in any respect with the rights of the belligerent maintaining the block ade since the right would remain with the blockading vessels to visit and search all ships either entering or leaving the neutral territory which they were in fact but not of right, investing.
 Reason Given
 ''The government of the United States notes that in the order in council his majestys government give as tlreir reason for entering upon course of action. which they are aware is without prece- dent in modern warfare, the necessity they conceive themselves to have been placed under to retaliate upon their enc mics for measures of a similar nature which the latter have announced it their intention to adopt and which they have to some extent adopted; but the govern ment of the United States. recalling the principles upon which his majesty's gov ernment have hitherto been scrupulous to act interprets as merely reason for certain extraordinary activities on the part of his majesty's naval forces and not as an excuse for or prelude to any unlawful action. If the course pursued by the present enemies of Great Britain should prove to be in fact tainted by nlegality and disregard for the princi- pies of war sanctioned by enlightened nations it cannot be supposed, and this government does not for moment sup pose, that his majesty's government would wish the same taint to attach to their own actions or would cite such illegal acts as in any sense or degree justifi- cation for similar practices on their part in so far as they affect neutral rights. Tt is thus that the government of the United States interprets the language of the note of his majesty's principal sec- retary of state for foreign affairs which accompanies the copy of the order in council which was handed to the am- bassador of the United States near the government in London and by nm trans mitted to Washington
 "This government notes with grati- dcation that wide discretion is afford ed to the prize court iii dealing with the trade of neutrals in such manner as may in the circumstances be deemed inst. and that full provision is made to facilitate claims by persons interested in any goods placed in the custody of the marshal of the prize court under the order that the effect of the order in council is to confer certain powers upon the executive officers of his maJesty's government and that the extent to which these powers would be actually exercised and the degree of severity with which the measures of blockade authorized would be put into operation are matters which will de- pend on the administrative orders issued by the government and the decisions of the authorities especially charged with the duty of dealing with individual l ships and cargoes according to the merits of each case This government 1 further notes with equal satisfaction the declaration of the British govern
