Washington Thinks Price
Would Be Prohibitive
and Plan Illegal.
SAY MANUFACTURERS
WOULD SELL ABROAD
Experts Believe Chance OF PROM
Would Be Too Tempting to
Keep Staple Here.
from The Tribune Buresu.I

Washington. Aug. 7.-England's plan
70 buv all the cotton of the United
States which is usually exported, IN or
der to avoid complicatioDs and possibly
to realize a little profit by reselling ~,
il causing considerable speculation IN
Diplomatic and financial circles IN
Washington.
Assuming that the total of this years
cron should be about 100000 bales,
the amount which would reasonably be
exported. we're it not for war condl-
tons. would be about 100000 bales,
the remainder being spun in this coun-
try. Therefore, under her proposed
plan. England would have to buy about
100000 bales
State Department officials pointed out
to-day that the government OF the
limited States could not sanction sueh
q plan. as it would be strictly a CON-
mercial transaction between EnglanG
and the cotton planters and FACTORS Oh
the South. If there were one dealer
who could bargain with England on the
price of the 100000 bales, and denver
the entire quantity to her, the sl.ua-
ton would be comparatively slmple.
But officials view an attempt 10 Duy
Z OOO ono bales on the market as SINH
lar in its results to an attempt 10 puy
control of a railroad on the New YORK
Stock Exchange. The price would boom
al the first news of such plan, and
would lump higher with every pur-
chase until it reached prohioltlve
figure. Thus England would have TO
nav a stiff price TO. the first thousand
bales she bought, and with every pur-
chase the price would go higher
nv the time four. or five million bales
had been bought and taken off the mar,
ket by England such price would
exist. il was declared, as has never
boen seen in this country. And then
would come the trouble. Marking the
rrice ND so as to make profit Oh the
cotton she had already bought, Eng
land would try TO dispose of 1t to sucn
neutrals as she would feel sure would
not hermit any of it to get to Ger
many. Some factors. learning OF the
high prices prevailing for cotton IN
that neutral country, would charter
ship and send load of the staple 20
that country. The ship would propanly
be held up by the British fleet, and the
situation would then be just where 1t
is now, with nothing gained by Eng
land by the maneuyre. Instead. she
would probably incur the i'll will OF the
countries to which she attempted, TO
sell the cotton at d price lower than
could be met by would-be exporters
from this country.
Even if England obtained the entire
export crop of the United States, 1T was
nointed out. the four million bales left
for consumption in this country would
be offered at once abroad on any ad-
vance in price, even if 1t we're IN tne
hands of manufacturers, since the
protit would be much surer and easier
than that to be made by spinning me
cotton.

Complain to State Depart
ment of British Tie
Up Order.
RUSSIA MAY LIFT
EXPORTS EMBARGO
Tentative Scheme, Completed
Here, Will Be Cabled for
Minister'S Endorsement.

Washington, Aug. 7.-American i'm
porters who have contracted for Bel
gian merchandise and whose shipments
have been held up by the British or
der in council are flooding the State
Department with requests for an OPP
portunity to release their goods. even
under the last British proposal that
payment be made through London
financial agents to prevent any pos
sible benefit to German interests. Ar
rangements probably will be made
soon for the release of small guam
tity of goods under this plan.
Much of the Belgian products now
held at Rotterdam and other neutral
ports already has been paid for, and
the importers are urging the depart
ment to obtain some concession from
Great Britain that will allow their
shipments to come out, holding that
they cannot be expected to pay twice.
This phase of the question has been
presented to Great Britain through Sir
Richard Crawford, the commercial at
tache here.
Arranging final details to lift the
Russian embargo on exports to the
United States, a conference to-day com
pleted a tentative scheme for handling
the traffic, representatives of the Rus
sian Embassy and the State and Com
merce departments participating. Inc
plan will be cabled to the Russian Min
lister of Finance for Endorsement.
Under proposals made by the United
States and accepted in principle by
Russia, all Russian exports 70 this
country will be consigned to the Secre-
tary Of Commerce and delivered by him
to local consumers under guarantee
that none will reach Russia's enemies
by re-exportation.
As formulated to-day the agreement
provides for the deposit by importers
of a bond satisfactory to the Russian
Embassy with the Secretary of Com
merce. covering all goods to be i'm
ported from Russia. 1t would be held
by the Secretary of Commerce pending
satisfactory evidence of the final con-
sumption Of the goods in this country
or until the end of the European war.
Imports to be liberated by the lifting
Of the embargo include hides, furs and
fur skins, vetch seed, mineral oil and
numerous other products.

PROTESTS RULING
OF PRIZE COURT
u. S. Charges Germany Violated
Treaty in Sinking Indian
Prince.

Washington. Aug. THE United
States viii protest against the decision
OF the German prize court in the case
Of the British steamer Indian Prince.
sunk with a cargo of American owned
coffee in the South Atlantic last winter
by the German auxiliary cruiser Prinz
Eitel Friedrich. The court had JUST
fed the sinking.
The State Department takes the view
that it is another clear violation of the
Prussian- American treaty Of 1928 and
the principles Of international law.
The seizure of two American ships,
tie Llama and the Wico, loaded with
oil for Stockholm, Sweden, by German
vessels caused considerable surprise
here to-day, especially because OF the
popular belief that Sweden is deci ledly
ro-German, and in view of the fact
that the British authorities have re-
garded goods going from this country
10 Sweden as being ultimately destined
to Germany.
The situation is made still more
curious and yeXatious because the YES
sells, almost with the same cargoes,
and while one was bound TO Scandl-
navian ports and the other to Cop m
hagen, have been held up before by
British authorities.
In the present incident details are
awaited as to whether the Wico was N
jured by being run aground while under
her own control, or whether she was
SO injured while being towed to port
by her captors. The latter was indi-
Gated in the report received by the
State Department to-day from the
Standard Oil Company. Both vessels
were towed to Swinemunde.
