PARIS. April documents Of the
French press on the American note TO
Great Britain concerning the order in
Council continues to he unanimous In
commenting what is called its courteous
and moderate tone. Several OF the news
papers emphasize the fact that II con-
tains no menace
The PETIT Pdi+sien says in long
editorial
Secretary Bryan confines himself on
the whole to the expression OF a strong
hope that the Governments of both coun-
tries will continue friendly and will give
the necessary orders to permit the legiti-
mate commerce OF the United States TO
proceed with neutrals He says how
ever. that the United States will not
suffer any damage to its merchantmen.
and we feel that II any damage does
result to American commerce all just
claims will be readily granted
Theoretically the Allies will not find
Il difficult TO recognize in certain
measure. nj least. the justice 81 Secre-
tary Bryan's thesis in stating that they
have had recourse TO unlimited liberty
in an extension Of the blockade. a pro-
cedure which is without precedent and
contrary TO all existing rules touching
the subject Of blockade.
But ought the Allies TO remain UNI
armed against an enemy to whom all
means seem To he right? II Is not we
who have innovated the ruthless sinking
OF merchantmen. We have done nothing
but reply TO the monstrous practice
which Is not only contrary to interns-
tional law but is In violation OF the
common laws of humanity
lie Gduiots makes the following COM
ment:
I'VE must not he astonished or an
noyed a, the claims which are made in
Americas note and which IN way
are imposed upon tho Government at
Washington by It's natural concern TO
assure liberty of maritime traffic. an
essential foundation To the prosperity
Of any country.
we have simply to point out 20 the
United states Government that we have
been forced to adopt severer measures
than We have any desire for because
Germany has made such a course neces-
sary by the unspeakablc proceedings 10
which she has resorted in a hope to
paralyze tho Anglo-Frcnch commerce
with America"
lie Temps draws attention to that
part of Secretary Bryan's note in which
he says that German proceedings have
not unlikely inspired the Allies to make
reprisals. This the Temps regards as
4 catering remark and "A delicate at
tentiun from American diplomacy which
! IL appreciated by France.
The general tone Of the American
note continues the paper. Contains n
shade OF criticism regarding the limo
vations introduced hy Germany into the
. common customs of warfare which have
been consecrnted by the principles OF
right and humanity IT, this France and
England will see vet another reason
lor avoiding 90 their utmost extent any
action which may inconvenience ncu-
trails, hut II cannot no expected that
they VIII renounce the right. which is
recognized, To stop all provisioning OF
the enemy's territory. The American
note does not deny this right II any
damage resulting from its enactment is
followed by due reparation"
