Think Britain WIZ Refuse.

English newspapers today expressed the
opinion that Great Britain will not ac-
cept the suggestions made by the United
states for modifying the .'blockades"
now in effect. The Evening Standard
criticises the stand of the United States
sharply, saying:
1t looks as though careful consider
alton of the government must result in
a courteous negative TO the main sug-
gestionS offered by the United States.
Piracy is subject TO a law much older
than international law. That law Ger
many violated openly and with a set
purpose. America may seem to be better
situated in insisting upon International
law. but can America I'VE refer here to
American opinion expressed in the news

many or Great Britain in civilization and
law? The United States. not having
raised her voice at the fragrant breaches
Of the laws of humanity, cannot now
claim to teach Great Britain lessons In
international law. No law of man or
humanity forhids the blockade of Ger
many. The moro strictly il is observed
the better it will be for neutrals and
belligerents alike in the long run
