STATISTICS TO REFUTE
CLAIMS IN BRITISH NOTE
That Goods Sent to scandinavian
Countries Are Reaching Germany.


Washington, Aug. 4.-Elaborate sta
tistics have been assembled by the
state department to refute the British
assumption that increased expectations
from the United States to Holland
and Scandinavian countries indicate
that some of these goods are finding
their way into Germany and Austria
The figures will be included in a pre-
liminary draft being prepared for Pres
ident Wilson, of the reply to the three
British notes made public yesterday.
A study of trade conditions between
the United States and neutral Euro
pean countries has been made by the
state department and Investigations of
Scandinavian and Dutch trade by the
department of commerce. A report
from Consul General Skinner at Lon
don also has been received on the
foreign trade Of Great Britain for the
six months ending June 80. It shows
that exports to the Scandinavian coun-
tries and Holland have increased since
the war began along the same lines as
American exports to those countries.
The state department will contend
that there can be no more assumption
that American goods going to- these
neutral countries are bound for bound
for Germany than that as regards ex-
ports there will reach Great Brtain's
enemies.
