With Approval
Bv associated Press

London. Jan. ). L. M.-The Brit
ish government was informed to-day
of the decision of TN Washington au-
thorities to certify American cargoes

leave American ports. IL is felt here
that this action will assist appreciahly
in solving the difficulties which led
TO the presentation of the note from
Washington concerning British inter-
ference With American shipping.
Ambassador Page received to-day
from Secretary Bryan a message out
lining the circular 10 American ship
pers the issuance of which was de-
Cided upon yesterday at q conference
in Washington by Secretaries Bryan
and Redtield and Acting Secretary Pc
ters. of the Treasury Department. The
circular urges that all reports be made
complete and accurate as q protection
against delays of American Cargoes.
Comply With Suggestions
Ambassador Page expected to trans
init Secretary Bryan's communication
TO the foreign office shortly. The note
is regarded as an indication that the
American government is making an
effort to comply with the suggestion of
Great Britain as to governmental in
spection of Cargoes before they leave
America for Europe.

London Papers Suggest
Answers to u. S. Note

London. Jan. :. $50 \. M.-The
Times in a special article offering sug-
gestions for the answer to the Ameri-
can note thinks the diplomatic cor
respondcncc incident To the note may
bring an Improvement in the relations
generally between neutrals and bel
ligerents and thus from the episode
from which Great Britain's enemies
sought to make capital may come per-
manent good.
Other suggestions advanced are
that there should be better provision
for rapid procedure and methods
might be agreed upon whereby search
might be waived on the production of
a certificate by a consul or customs
official. Further. il would be neces-
sary to adopt some definite and per-
manent line as 10 contraband.
The Times article. referring TO the
fact that the United States Consti-
tuition bars direct appeal from the
highest United States tribunal to any
oher. says this difficulty might be met
by the adoption of a proposal ap-
proved by the Senate on February ).
1911. that there should be a right of
resort to an international prize court
in the for mof claim for damages.
