In conclusion, after an argument
| on the law and facts, Secretary Lans
ing says
Il believe it has been conclusively
shown that the methods sought to be
! employed by Great Britain to obtain
| and use evidence of enemy destina-
tion of cargoes bound for neutral
ports and to impose contraband
character upon such cargoes are
without Justification that the block
| ade. upon which such methods are
partly founded, is ineffective, illegal
and indefensible; that the judicial
procedure offered as a means of rep
aration for an international injury is
inherently defective for the purpose;
and that in many cases jurisdiction is
asserted in violation of the law of ma.
tions. The United States, therefore.
cannot submit to the curtailment of
its neutral rights by these measures,
which are admittedly retaliatory, and
therefore Illegal. in conception and
in nature, and intended to punish the
enemies of Great Britain for alleged
illegalities on their part. The Unit.
ed States might not be in a position
to object to them if it's interest and
the interests OF all neutrals were un-
affected by them, but. being affected,
it cannot with complacence suffer fur
ther subordination of its rights and
interests to the plea that the excep-
tional geographic position of the en-
emies of Great Britain require or
justify oppressive and illegal prac.
tices.
The government of the United
States desires, therefore. TO impress
most earnestly upon his majesty's
government that it must insist that
the relations between it and his mai.
esty's government be governed, not
by policy of eXpediency. but by
those established rules OF internation-
al conduct upon which Great Britain
in the past has held the United
States to account when the latter
nation was a belligerent engaged in
struggle for national existence. II
is OF the highest importance to neu.
trails not only of the present day, but
of the future that the principles of
international right be maintained
