commerce and treasury departments
vas asked. They will submit COM
blete data regarding contratand and

rom the United States, to refute the
contention made In the British reply
khat extra large shipments OF copper
hnd other contraband to the neutral
countries is prima facie evidence that
euch merchandise was intended for
to England's foes.
Some officials today saw evidences
that the principal neutrals. Italy,
Sweden. Denmark, Norway and the
Netherlands would be officially drawn
into the shipping controversy Al
though Great Britain specifically de-
MED there was any complaint against
these neutrals because OF evident ef-
forts to violate neutrality by reexpor-
tations OF contraband. the active as
we'll as the moral support OF these
neutrals was believed possible. It
was thought that In some manner, by
afidavits or notes from tho foreign
offices of the neutrals to the state de-
partment, for transmission with the
prospective United States rejoinder
note. the neutrals will deny that the
mere fact Of importation OF abnormal
quantities Of copper and other sup
plies is basis for suspicion that re-
expectation in violation Of neutrality
was contemplated.
Some officials expressed belief to-
