MAY ARBI RATE
TRADE|NTE FERENCE.
Countries Gradually Deadlocking on
Subject; Officials Satisfied With
Presidents Note.
BRYAN PEACE TREATY
MAY BE MAIN ISSUE
Arbitration Would Be in England's
Favor; Gives One Year for
Breathing Spell.

Washington, Nov. 9.-England and
the United States are gradually dead
locking on the trade interference,
with arbitration as a possible solu-
tion. Further detention of American
ships will probably develop a contro-
versy into a concrete issue of the
Bryan Peace Treaty." .r:.
In effect, the treaty is expected 20
work in England's favor as it pro-
vides that there be one-year breath
ing spell for the discussion of differ
ences. This will be grasped by Eng
and to continue trade practices an
other year before broaching the ar
bitration decree.
Officials Satisfied.
There is feeling of satisfaction in
administration circles over the recep-
tion which the public has given the
note as there seems to be we'll nigh
universal disposition to regard it as
fair presentment of the grievances
Of American shippers against aggres-
sion of the English navy. Govern
ment officials, while admitting their
optimism, are doubtful whether the
excepted concessions will be satisfac-
tory. ..-.
Whether England comedies Ameri-
can contentious or not, it is felt that
the note will preserve American
rights until there can be adjudication
before The Hague, or some other in
ternational tribunal.
Page to Report.
Ambassador Page has not reported
the impression made upon the British
foreign Office. So far as American
shippers are concerned, however, the
dispatch of the note marks turning
point of vast Importance, for hence
forth the United States is to consider
the British blockade as ineffective
and imperative and all cargoes of
non-contraband goods destined for
Germany or through neutral coun-
tries to the enemy of Great Britain
will be viewed by this government as
immune from detention. Claims pre-
sented by Americans for detention or
seizures of such goods will be sup
ported by the diplomatic machinery
of the United States to the fullest ex-
tent.
Another Situation.
What American officials express
particular, concern about in connec-
tion with the alleged illegal practices
of Great Britain is the large trade
they claim Great Britain herself is
carrying on with neutral ports to
which American exporters are for
bidden to trade. 1t is this feature of
the situation which officials regard as
most serious and indefensible.

fee system which, is was pointed out,
