LONDON PRESS ON NOTE.
IL Expresses satisfaction with the
Interim Reply.
5Dcc,lI tobie Despatch 10 Tnr srN


LONDON. jan 1.-THE morning papers
comment extensively on the reply OF Sir
Edward Grey. the Foreign Secretary. to
the American note complaining Of the
holdup OF American cargocs bound for
neutral countries
The Daily Maj Is very confident that
tho American people will ungrudingly
recognize the many merits Of Sir Edward
Grey's reply" It adds:
I'VE believe IL will have no little weight
on both popular and official opinion in the
United states and will convince the mass
OF the people that the many grievances OF
the American exporters have no solid
foundation. Taken In conjunction with
the concessions announced by Sir Edward
Grey. We believe the reply will satisfy
the Americans that there II very little
left for two buslnesslilte people to differ
about"
The Daily Chronicle says:
when confronted with Sir Edward
Grey's figures an Englishman would ask
himself very seriously not whether the
navy IL interfering too much with this
trade. but whether it is interfering
enough
Everybody In the United States who
wants us to have fair play AVID who is not

"A desire to make profits at our expense
may reasonably be- invited to ask himself
the same question.
we believe the American Government
and people will appreciate the cordially
and good feeling which pervade the note
just as the same qualities I'm the American
note are appreciated by ourselves"
The Times regards Sir Edward Grey's
reply as excellent In substance and tone
II expresses confidence that the British
reply will meet with favorable reception
I'm America and that the position a.
stated 10y the British Foreign Secretary
will be understood and appreciated therc.
The Morning Post says:
we hardly believe that any just
minded and unbiased person viii re-
fuse to admit that sir Edward Greys
arguments are a sufficient reply"
The Morning Post strongly attacks the
Government for being too yielding and
leuieut. as IL incidentally disclosed, and
asks what the sens. Is IN distinguishing
foodstuffs Tor the army and for civilians
when the whole nation IL In arms. The
comm 1T adds
While We metculously and falla-
cious.y are distinguishing Germany has
appropriated the bread and cattle IN Po-
land, Belgium and northern France our
ancient rule was to confiscate all the en-
emys goods on neutral ships That good
rule had the effect Of shortening the war.
Now there are 30 many relaNatlons that

The Daily Telegraph believes that the
United states will recognize the reply az
a reasonable and straightforward ham
ding OF an unavoidable difficulty.
The Ddly Graphic believes that the
majority OF Americans will be indignant
At President Wilson for having given the
opening for such crushing retort.
