from which extreme courtesy is not ex-

further representations against the Brit
ish practices the British Government is
also understood to be collecting infor-
nation to offset the American conten-
tons. The completion of this data is
said TO he the chief reason for the long
delay on the part of Great Britain in
answering the American protest.
According to statements made here
the British data will he brought forward
TO support the claim that American
trade interests are not suffering as a
result OF anything Great Britain liz Do
ing. II is said that the British data in
regard TO the cotton situation. which be-
cause of its importance to a large sec
ton of this country, has been the chief
subject OF agitation against the British
practices. will present that situation In
quite a different aspect.
These figures. II Is asserted. will show
that the American cotton growers are
losing nothing as a result OF the British
order in Council. II is added that the
shortage in exports for the last year
may be wholly accounted for by the
decrease OF sales to France and to
Russia, so that the net result to the
American industry is the same as II the
British had not attempted to cut of the
cotton trade with Germany.
other data said to be in possession
Of the British authorities with regard to
the state OF American trade are also
expected to appear in the reply 10 the
American note.
officials here are not in favor OF haste
in sending another note to Great Britain.
1t is felt that the United States will
strengthen its position by delaying fur
Their representations until Great Britain
has put herself on record again In de-
fence OF her practices which this Gov
ernmen considers Illegal.
1t is believed that by waiting for the
British note the United States will then
he able to take advantage of any weak
spots in Great Britain's defence instead
OF giving Great Britain the opportunity
to take similar advantage OF this Gov
eminent.
II Is also held that more Is to be
gained by keeping Great Britain In n
state OF uncertainty as TO the intentions
of the United States.
