GOVERNMENT ADMITS
RIGHT OF SEARCH

sir Edward Grey, OF course. took
issue with that position. but II has
never been changed by this govern
nent. Again in the American note OF
December %. 1915. this language was
used:
The government Of the United
states readily admits the cul right
OF bell!gcrcnt TO visit and search
the vessels OF American citizens or
other neutral vessels carrying Amer
lean goods and to dctnin them when
there il sufficient evidence to Justify n
belief that contraband articles are In
their cnrgocs; but His Majcsty's gov
eminent Judging by It's own experience
in the past, must realize that this gov
eminent cannot. without protest, per-
nit American ships or American car
goes TO be taken into British ports and
there detained for the purpose OF
searching generally for evidence OF
contraband. or upon presumptions
created by special municipal enact
ments, which are clearly AT variance
with international law and practice.
If. on the other hand. Sir Edward
Grey's answer should be an attack
on the American ownership Of the
vessel. then he raises question Of
fact There is no doubt that in the
Hooking case there Is. TO begin with.
thoroughly American corporation
ownership. Those interested have made
statements to the document which
were judged sufficient on which TO
hold that granting of registry was
regular, ami that. so far rs the rec
ordS 20. the ownership was American.
Sir Edward Grey, however. may go
behind the record and furnish evil
dcnce tending To show that the De-
partment OF Commerce was imposed
upon in both Of these particulars. II
is our desire, II he should make that
defense. to discuss IL with him briefly
and automatically. and not in the
prize court. We have always contend
ed, as in the official quotations just
made, that we do not recognize the ar
bitrary suncicncy of prize courts es-
tablished by orders In council or NM
niciJal law We have maintained that
questions of seizure are questions OF
diplomacy. and diplomacy Is swift
nrocess What we want Is proof and
not suspicion. to challenge the direct
statements OF the owners OF the Hook
ing. n the Winncconne should he
seized, n similar course would be fol-
lowed In that case"

I'm the opinion Of this government
tho belligercnt right OF visit and
