American Firms on
English Black List

LONDON, Dec. 23.-Various American
mercantile and manufacturing firms do
ing business in Great Britain are said to
be suffering losses due to a blacklist
which they claim the British govern
ment maintains against neutral indi-
viduals suspected of having Naffiliation
with Great Britain's enemies.
Official circles admit that firms sus-
pected OF actual trading with the central
powers and their allies are objects OF
suspicion and liable to meet with dis
criminatory treatment, but It is denied
that simply because an American firm
may have German stockholders it is
placed in the same category as organiza-
tions which are known or suspected TO
be trading with an enemy country.
