the country is thereby impaired" was
declared in the American reply to be
impracticable.
The United States contends that the
limit beyond which the amount Of war

The further contention in Austria's
note that congress would under con-
stitutional jurisdiction empower the
president to restrict war shipments,
was met with the statement that the
United States feels that any change
in its own laws during war would, ac-
cording to international law, be un-
justified and a departure from its
policy Of strict neutrality.
