ton today of the American note to
Great Britain denouncing as ''ineffec-
tive. illegal and indefensible" the
blockade against Germany and Austria,
gives notice to citizens Of the United
States whose legitimate foreign trade
is interfered with by the allies that
they should seek redress directly
through the diplomatic channels Of
their own government rather than
through prize courts.
This latest note, delivered by AM
bassador Page to the British foreign
office, is an exhaustive document deal
ing with England's interference with
American trade since the outbreak OF
the war In effect, it is communica-
ton also TO France, which has follow

note and, in conclusion. Secretary Lam
sing declares that the United States
"cannot with complseence suffer
further subordination of its rights and
interests TO the plea that the excep-
tional geographic position of the
ienrmies of Great Britain require or
justify oppressive and illegal prac-
tees"
The relations between the United
States and Great Britain, he SAYS,
must be governed not by expediency.
but by established rules Of interna-
tional conduct and it is of the highest
, importance to neutrals not only of the
present day. but Of the future that the
principles Of international right be
maintained unimpaired, and the Unit
ed States unhesitatingly assumes the
task Of ehampioning the rights of neu-
trails,
Citizens to Seek Redress.
Heretofore Americans whose cargoes
destined TO neutral countries have
been seized on the high seas and de-
layed or conhscated have been adrsses.
TO exhaust legal remedies abroad be-
fore asking the United States govern
ment to seek reparation. Now. the
note says. the government feels that
/ 1t cannot reasonably be expected to ad-
wise its citizens to seek redress before
tribunals which are in its opinion I'M
authorized by the unrestricted appli-
cation of international law to grant re-
paration, nor to refrain from present
ing their claims directly to the British
4 government through diplomatic chan
nels"
Since the United States does not
recognize the existence of a legal
blockade, Americans may look to their
government for protection in the ship
ment of non-contraband cargoes not
only to neutral countries contiguous to
belligerents. but directly to or from
the enemies of the allies.
