BRITAIN CLAIMS
AMERICA HAS NO RIGHT
TO MAKE COMPLAINTS
Memorandum Are No Ju
Grounds Which the Treat
of Cargoes in lands of English Forces

Washington, D. c., June 25.-United States gov
ernment officials today had under consideration, in
connection with the American note to Great
Britain concerning delays to neutral commerce, the
latest British memorandum on the subject
The British note explains in detail measures taken
by the British government to minimize nconvenences
to neutral commerce under the order in council The
claim Is made however, that American citizens have
no just grounds for complaint account Of the treat
ment accorded their cargoes.
The United States in it's communication will re-
new its protest of March against the principles in
the order in council The British memorandum makes
no attempt to the principles asserted in the
note Of that date protesting against the order in
council and insisting upon the right Of neutrals to
carry on legitimate commerce with each other and to
trade in non-contraband with civilians in beigerent
countries. In transmitting the memorandum, Ambas-
sador Page said it was merely explanation Of con-
crete and the regulations under which they
are dealt with"
Another note to Great Britain is in course OF
preparation at the state department and is expected to
be dispatched the negotiations with Ger
many submarine warfare have been cleared up
While this communication probably will make
reference the latest memorandum it Is understood
that the manner of enforcing the order in council will
not be treated as relevant the question at issue
whether there is any warrant in international law for
powers that Great Britain and her allies have
sumed to exercise the commerce Of the world
ESPECIAL CONCESSIONS"
In it's memorandum the foreign office emphasizes
the various special concessions made in favor of
United States citizens" In setting forth that all
British officials have acted in with the
utmost dispatch consistent with the object In view
and of showing in every case such consideration for
neutrals as might be compatible with the object,
namely to prevent vessels from carrying goods for,
or coming from, the enemy's territory"
Arrangements for buying American cotton de-
tanned and permitting the passage Of goods bought
In Germany by Americans before the date Of the order

in the future.

His majestys government" the memorandum
concludes, sis earnestly desirous Of removing all
causes OF unavoidable delay In dealing with American
cafgoes and vessels which may be detained and any
specific inquiries representations which may be
made by the United States government in regard to
particular will always receive the most careful
consideration, and all the information which can be
afforded without prejudice to prize proceeding
will be readily commuted but they scarcely admit
that on the basis of actual facts any substantial

UNITED STATES GATHERS DATA
Sufficient facts detention and seizure Of Ameri.
can ships and by the British fleet have not yet
been gathered by the state department to complete
the note to Great Britain.
Secretary Lansing disclosed today that the pox-
ton of the note dealing with the principles OF the
socalled blockade had long ago been outlined but
that officials had been absorbed in getting data on
American ships and gsoGds desained or seized He
1ntmated that the note in its final form would be
presentation Of the academic principles involved in
the blockade as well British practice under the
order in council.
The British memorandum reviewing the efforts
to minimize inconvenience to neutrals will ha

will be discussed. although it recognized here that
