state Department Declares Taking

handed Procedure.

WaShlngtO, OcC. l-oldte DeP'''
ment officials describe as a high
handed outrage the act of Great
Britain in seiZing and taking into 4
prize court the ship Vitalia, loaded
with packers products, for Rotterdam
The case will be given serious con-
sidcration by the State DepartmeCf,
as It involves a charge that Great
britain practically violated her own
regulation that goods could safely be
shipped if consigned to the Overseas
Trust in Holland. The packers, it IS
said, are able TO prove that in all
commercial fairness they COMPLIED
with the British demands. DEPART
ment officials who talked on the sab
ject today said it was not only
fragrant instance of unwarrant"l IL
reference with American comaer!e,
but offered a good opportunity Tor
negotiations lool,:ng to the settlement
If all packers cases.
The State Department proteS'91 /"
treat Britain at the time of the selZ-
ure of the Vitalia. The answer, which
was received recently, was chardc-
tcl.ized today as fiimsy and evasivc,
and Indicating clearly that little is 20
be expected in the way of a n;nd'il-
cation of the British order-in-cornciI.
''The whole subject of interference
with the millions of dollars worth o.
packers goods is to be laid before the
State Department tomorrow by Char!-
es J. Faulkner and Henry Veeder. Of
Chicago. attorneys for the pacncrs.
They called on Chandler Anderson,
special assistant to tho Secretary of
State, today and discussed their pro-
test. II was found, however. tha: Ect-
Ter progress could he made after the
receipt by the State Department .!
the, transcript of the recent decree OF
the British prize court, confiscat'n.@
number of meat cargoes.
A copy Of the decree is expected to-
morrow Mr.. Veeder and MIR. Faulk-
ner will then submit to the depart
merit statement presenting their
whole case. On this they expect i'm
mediate action by this government.
II has developed that there are 90
ships with cargoes Of meat supplies.
representing $12,5OO,0O0 held in Brit
ish waters. These have not ye5 been
sent to the prize court. Embarrass
ment is caused by the fact that Sir
Edward Grey and Lord Crewe have
informed the State Department that
such cases are not diplomatic ques-
tions," and that it is for the British
prize court to release them at will.
The State Department, in a brief
memorandum, told the British GOV
ernment that it did not admit the
legality of such proceeding. The
department. therefore. will send with
the statement of grievances by the
packers a direct and specific protest
against Great Britain's policy on this
issue. 1t is understood this govern
ment may ask pointedly for the re-
lease of the ships; unless Great Bri-
tain can show something more tan.
| gible than a suspicion or pre-deter-
mined conviction that the goods will
eventually get into German territory
