be dispatched to London.
Altho Great Britain's notes were
made public only last night. the Amer

views and had framed IT'S reply before
the notes actually were received.
1t Is believed thcre will be little
change in the answer already prepared.

Admitting that unusual conditions
which Great Britain contends are basis
for exceptional action, the American
reply will continue to contest the legal
ity OF taking ships on high seas bound
for neutral ports.

It is understood the American gov-
ernment will diffsrentiAte betwesn

bound for British ports or which At

The British argunent that American
commerce had not suffered also win b
contested.

the controversy has reached q stage OF

dencc with n trend toward an ultimate

tration commission.

tatlons against interference with neu-
trail commerce.
Great Britain in her notes refuses to
accept the American contention that
the orders in council are illegal and
justifies the British course as being
wholly within the provisions of inter-
national law.
Great Britain viii continue to apply
the order in council. 1t Is denied that
international law is violated by block
aiding neutral ports to cut off the ene-
my's commerce with foreign countries
and Great Britain declines to allow
tho FREQ passage OF goods originating In
Germany and territory under German
control.
Great Br!tain's reply is embodied In
