us, HOLDS BRITISH
POLICY UNFR|ENDLY
Wilson and Lansing Complete
New Note to England.
CALLS SHIP SEIZURE ILLEGAL
Persistent Oppression OF American
Commerce and Blockade of Neu.
trial Ports Is Denounced as Tn.
justified by World Law.

Washington, Sept. 20.-Presideni
Wilson and Secretary of State Ian
sing conferred at length on Friday
on the completed note Of this govern
ment to Great Britain, and on the
phases Of the controversy with Ger.
many over the sinking of the Arabic.
The points of the new note to Great
Britain, as obtained from Off cials who
have had part in putting it into pres
ent form, are:
That as the United States has re-
peatedly and consistently denied spe-
officially every one of the Qualifications
set up by Sir Edward Grey, the British
minister for foreign affairs. and Lord
Crewe his assistant, this government
cannot fail to regard the persistent OPP
preston OF American commerce as un.
friendly.
That Great Britain acted illegally
when she took cases Of seizure and de-
tention out of the domain Of diplomacy
and made them merly matters for the
British prize courts.
That the argument by Great Britain
for sucn action is indefensble, because
it is based on the order in council,
which is itself an Illegal policy.
That the establishment of a block
ade under the order in council which
pretends to include neutral ports, is
not justified by international law on
the mere suspicion that neutral ports
may be made the basis for unneutral
acts
That the contention of Great Britain
that cargoes may be seized and de-
tanned on suspicion alone, without any
assertion of reasonable proof, is abso'
lutely untenabe under any form OF
recognized law OF nations
That the United States has hereto
fore given Great Britain notice that 1t
would not tolerate acts such as in the
packers case, which were based on
the Illegal withdrawal Of questions OF
seizure and detention from the cate
cory of diplomatic questions. The
United States has in fact filed It's
caveat, putting Great Britain on no
tice.
