On an impartial review of the facts it will. his majesty's government feels sure, be admitted that no ar bitrary interference with American in- terests has, in regard to these cargoes, occurred, seeing that his majestys gov ernment has acted throughout in con- formity with the terms of an arrange ment agreeable to the interest con- cerned, and that United States citizens will suffer no pecuniary loss.

 '10 It may finally be pointed out that repeated complaint to injury suf fered by American trade by interference. due to British mea asures, derives little sub stance from the American trade returns. ANtable of figures taken from these re turns and showing the amount of recent American trade with Germany and with neutral countries supplying Germany is annexed hereto It certainly tends to dis prove any contention that American trade with neutral countries has recently sui fered. It will be seen, whereas American exports to Germany in Austria. in Febru arv. 1915, fell by s2l. 500,000 as compared with the same month In 1914. American exports to Scandinavia Holland and Italy rose by enormous figures of $61, 200 GOO.
