Word unoficially was brought TO
Cleveland from Governor Willis today
that there would be no action ON the

the Green law SO that coal operators

such delay would be futile. IL was
intimated that should a settlement be

NEW PLAN TO
AID SHIPPERS
BRITISH EMBASSY ISSUES
STATEMENT TO EXPEDITE
u. S. SHIPPING
To Neutral Countries+Sent to All
British Consuls and VIII
Obviate Delay

WASHINGTON. ID. C., May a.
The British embassy issued a state
ment tonight for the information of
American shipping interests, designed
TO facilitate trade OF the United States
with neutral countries, by pointing
out way TO guard against lnterfer-
ence by allied warships with cargoes
not under the ban OF Great Britain s
blockade order in council. The state
ment has been sent TO all British con-
suls in the United States to whom
shippers are advised 90 give notice
OF the character OF cargoes, so that
the British government may be ad-
Vised before ships reach European
waters.
The United States does not recog-
nize the right OF the allies TO inter
fere with legitimate commerce be-
tween neutrals. or with non-contra-
band goods even when ultimately des-
tined TO Germany or Austria, and has
set forth its position in the lengthy
diplomatic exchanges on the subject.
In order. however. TO prevent. as far
as possible, unnecessary delays and
detentions. the foreign trade advisers
OF the state Department have been
holding informal conferences with
British embassy officials in the inter
est of shippers. and TO aid those who
desire 10 conform to the requirements
OF the order in council they have had
printed the re-export embargo lists of
the various countries contiguous 10
the European belligerents.
The Statement
The British embassy statement fol
lows. in part:
THE British embassy can give no
assurance as 70 the immunity from
visit and search or detention OF any
particular shipments: but with re-
gard to consignments OF noncontra-
band articles as we'll as OF articles
of conditional contraband. they are
authorized TO state that in cases
where adequate information Is furn-
ished by consignors TO show that the
and are to be used exclusively tor
consumption in neutral countries or
by the allies. this viii be taken into
consideration by the authorities
charged with the execution OF the
order in council. This also will apply
to shipments OF certain descriptions
OF goods listed as absolute contra
band. Such goods are, however.
usually subjected TO closer scrutiny
and control and in some cases to spe-
cial arrangements.
Expedite Clearance.
1T would greatly facilitate and ex-
pedite the work OF clearing vessels
bound for neutral ports. which call At

examination or their papers. II ship
