WIASHINGTON, June Is. -
w That the American people
have no just grounds of complaint
against Great Britain through her
detention of American vessels
trading in the war zone is the
assertion made in a memorandum
presented to the state department
yesterday by Sir Cecil Spring
Rice, the British ambassador.
The memorandum deals with
the question which has arisen be-
tween the American and British
governments over the seizures of
American vessels and cargoes
bound for neutral ports of Europe,
the British claiming the right to
detain neutral ships in British
harbors for thorough examina-
tons Of their cargees, ..,.
Many Vessels Involved -
AT the present time there are
twenty-seVen vessels with Amer
lean clearance papers held in Brit
ish ports, the majority of which
are not of American register.
Eight of these vessls are unload
ing cotton cargoes, which have
been purchased by the British
government. The others, says the
memorandum, will be released as
soon as the prize courts have de-
cided whether certain items in
their cargoes are to be regarded
as contraband or conditional con-
traband, the ultimate destination
of which is an enemy's country.
Attitude of Britain
The memorandum states that
the British government Is under
a promise to consider the pur-
chase of all cotton cargoes detain-
ed, while reminder is given that
the British government has al
ready agreed to permit the ex-
portation from Germany to the
United States Of all goods bought
in Germany by Americans previous
to the date of the order in coun-
Gil establishing the blockade Of
Germany and Austria.
The memorandum recites the
efforts being made to minimize
the inconveniences to neutral
shipping and commerce resulting
from the order in Council, which
announced that no trade with Ger
many, Austria and Turkey would
be allowed, either directly or
through contiguous but neutral
countries,
American Ship Seized
Yesterday, a British cruiser or,
dered the American steamer Neches
into British port, stating that tie
cargo carried by the steamer was
from Germany and subject to seiz,
ure under the blockade order ir
council. The Neches cleared from
Rotterdam for New York and wa:
intercepted off the owns. Captain
Young declared that his cargo wa.
of Dutch origin, but his declaration
was disregarded and the ship or
dered to prize court.

Editorial in the World on Lawson

to force the workers to recognize the
power Of wealth over human rights
There Is a lesson in the sad affair
that we may all hope will not be lost
in the foment of Industrial strife now
agitating the nation; and that lesson
is that upon the field Of conflict that
science and reason point to the neces-
sity of guarding the ballot with an
ever watchful eye, that through its
honest use the will of the masses
may be gained, which, when edu-
Gated, will be CrystaliZed into laws
forced by the majority of the peo-
pie, that will wipe out the hand tools
of such unjust corporate diCtators in
this nation. Behind the bloody rec
Crd stands the gangster and machine
politician, and his work paved the
way for the successful disregard Of
the weaker class when the conflict
came on the industrial field. Have
we not the same intrigue and partisan
disregard fast closing upon the rights
of the people in oklahoma that
directed the machine in Colorado?
With a state election board solely in
the hands of one set of partisan poll
ticians, and all efforts made to Sc
cure q fair election law opposed by
a machine in the saddle, can any or
binary man not see what is coming
unless the people wake up?
Taking off my hat to the merits
of your vell-written editorial and in
behalf of those who honor me with
their endorsement as a spokesman,
and in the hope of coming, though
long delayed. justice for all mankind.

"l the government to collect Test
cases have already been brought i'm
various federal courts. The founda
ton Tor these suits was laid by tho
democrats through an apparent over
sight In drafting the law.
The oversight lay in the failure TO
properly define bankers" The blun-
der Is emphasized by the fact that
put f'W months before the war
tax was levied the Democratic con-
grcss had appropriated thousands OF
dollars TO pay back to trust companies
a refund ordered by federal courts
following litigation on the same ques-
ton
Section 3 Of the war tax" declares
that bankers shall pay 81 for every
$1,000 Of capital used or employed.
IL then defines who shall be termed
banker under the act The defini-
! tion of banker" is identical with
that which the federal courts. but a
short time before, held inadequate
! to render trust companies liable to
such tax
The Democrats had ample warning.
The language of the federal court
decision conclusiyely showed that
banker must be more adequately
defined to include trust companies.
In the cHse at bar" said the de-
| cision, the plaintiff is not bank
or banker and though it does some
of the things enumerated in the sec
ton as indicative Of such business. its
principal business seems to be dis
tinctiyely that Of "A trust company"
The court further points out that
the resources on which the tax was
collected and ordered returned We're
invested In municipal and railroad
bonds and in the stocks OF corpora
tiOns The international revenue Of
flee has required trust companies to
pay the tax upon this class Of securi-
ties. and I'm the cases now pending
claim for recovery is based on the
allegation that the securities taxed
are invested "in municipal and rail-
way bonds and in the stocks of cor
pOrauOus.'
Whether or not the trust companies
are successful i'm their proceedings
the fact remains that Democratic
blundering is responsible for this eX-
pensive litigation. which adds tremen-
dously to the cost of administering the
law and may largely reduce revenues
Like numerous other "jokers' in
Democratic laws, these mischevious
errors exist only because Of wholesale
disregard Of elementary principles of
legislation.
