OFFICIALS CONSIDER
AMERICAN NOTE FAIR

Berlin, March (by wireless to
Sayvlllc) -'What most Impressed
us in the American note, was the evil
dent spirit of absolute fairness in
which the American government ap-
preached the problem and its desire
TO propose a solution which could be
accepted by both sides, said IA high
official Of the German government
today. we endeavored in the reply
to follow the same rule The modifi-
cations suggested are inspired by a
desire to round out and complete the
American proposals
1--WE are sure, for instance, that the
American government would have
inserted the clause covering armed
merchantmen if the subject had oc-
CURED 10 them. The reservation re-
gardug the offensive use of anchored
mines is justified by The Hague con
ventions, which expressly authorize
such procedure; and even therein it
will be noticed that our note says
only that we cannot renounce COM
pletcly the use of such mines.
THE government is convinced that
the American proposals furnish an
acceptable basis for "A practical so
luton Of the present difficulties and
problems Of the maritime situation"

BRITISH PROGRAM WATTS
ON PRINY COUNCIL ORDER

London, March (10:4J y. nj
Until the privy council issues an or
der. the declaration that trade to and
from Germany and allied countries
is to be stopped will not be effective
insofar as Great Britain is concern
ed. This action on the part of the
priVy council is a necessary eXecu-
tive procedure to put the cabinet ac-
ton into effect While it is "A mere
Formally, an order in council is in
dispensable, according to the foreign
office.
orders in council are frequently
dated back; consequently the failure
of the pTivy council so far to ratify
the declaration against German trade
probably will not alter the date when
the declaration is supposed to become
effective. The foreign office and adj
miralty are silent with regard to the
details of the plans adopted for re-
prisals, and the idea is constantly
kept to the fore that the movement is
not a blockade.
There is much speculation in Lon
don as to whether the American
steamer Dacia will be treated by
France in the same manner as Eng
land had stated she would handle the
ship and cargo if the Dacia reached
an English port. The English posi-
ton was that the cargo of cotton
would be forwarded directly to Rot
terdam in another ship, without cost
to the owners, while the DaCia, which
was formerly a German vessel would
80 to a prize court. The British for
eign office, however, spoke only for
England, not for the allies, accord
ing to the present viewpoint, and
France is in no way obligated TO the
English position.
