Il am very sorry that Mrs. Hall feels

BRITAIN TO INSIST
ON RIGHT OF SEARCH
England Will Not Waive Privilege
Nor by Accepting Certifying of
Cargoes by U. S.
NOT AN ABSOLUTE GUARANTY

LONDON. Jan. 5--Although the for
eign office regards with high favor the
American governments plan of certify
ing oargoes loaded under the direction OF
officials OF the Treasury department and
destined for European ports, It was said
today that England cannot accept such
certification as an absolute guaranty of
the nature of the cargo in case any
cause for suspicion arises after vessel
leaves America.
In other words the right of search
cannot be waived, because of the possi-
bility Of shifting cargoes at sea and of
the impossibillty Of having the Treasury
officer who issues the certificate accom-
pany the ship TO its destination to guard
against smugglers who may carry copper
or other contraband on small ships to be
transferred at sea.
Invitation 90 smuEglers.
The waiving of the right to search
sehips bearing contraband cargoes. in the
Ibpinion OF several prominent British Off
cials. would be an invitation for snug
giers TO ply their trade. whereas the re-
tention of the right would tend to pre-
vent dishonesty.
