Washington.-The British forsass
office delivered Monday to UnitsA
States Ambassador Pass In LanAsn
10 reply to the Americas notc propos-
Ing to Great Britain and Germany the
withdrawal Of the German submarine
blockade provided England would per.
init food to reach German civilians,
according to LOadon dispatches.
Great Britain's reply is an absolute
refusal.
The British foreign office also de-
livered to the American ambassador
Great Britain's reply to the American
note inQuiring for further information
In regard to the measures to be taken
BY the allied powers to cut off trade
to and from Germany. The reply to
this note is based largely upon the or
der in the council which was issued
Monday.
Great Britain's refusal to accept the
American proposals to this country
and Germany Is due to the reasons
outlined several days ago.
The text of the British order in
council, shutting off German trade,
was received with the keenest inter-
est by officials of the State Depart
ment and, while it has not been de-
cided as yet whether formal pro
test will be made by the United States
government against the order 1t Is
reasonably certain that efforts will be
made to obtain construction Of its
terms which will minimize injury to
American commerce.
Officials were particularly keen to
learn whether a formal blockade OF
German ports was contemplated.
Since the order does not contain the
word blockade" officials are in doubt
as to the Legal status of the British
plan.
The order apparently causes the
complete exclusion from American
commerce of all goods of German ori.
gin, and this is viewed by American
officials as probably the most immedi-
ate important provision of the order.
American industries, such as textile
mills, which are dependent upon Ger
min-made dye-stuffs, will be seriously
Affected II some relaxation Of the or
der cannot be obtained by diplomatic
correspondence.
II British manufacturers are per-
mitted to receive these or similar
German products, rs essentials to
their business as they are to Ameri.
can mills, it is certain that emphatic
protest against such discrimination
will be made by the State Depart
ment.
1t is probable a note Of inquiry will
be directed by the State Department
to the British foreign office to get
more exact definition Of the extent OF
the interference with American COM
merce.
As the order makes no mention OF
Germany's allies there is no specific
restriction on American trade with
Austria or Turkey by way of neutral
countries.
