The Tines says it feels confident
that the Btitish government VIII re-
ply promptly to all the grievances anu
that, since all idea OF inducing Eng

discaimed and the president hnnseli
had Recognized that the difiiculties

macy oughtto be fairly smooth.
ADJUSTMENT Not Difficult.
The Dali, News, in an editorial, !
finds the zen OF the note in phras-
ing and in tmper eminently friendly !
and expresses satisfaction that its
criticism is irected against the Brit- (
ish administrator rather than against !
a policy. Therefore, it says, It ousht |
not to be difficult to find solution /
There is ne difference of opinion |
that may no be quite so easy of adj |
justment," tlp editorial continues. II /
is the treatment of conditional con- /
trahand, and particular foodstutfs. !
According the view of the Daily /
News, the question turns upon whetn- !
er the whole of Germany should be 4
regarded as IN armed camp ana |
whether the British blockade would /
in fact starvt Germany into a sur /
render and thus shorten the war.
Questions British Policy.
"lf the British government mas Z
such clear confidence" the editorial
thin it has a formidable |
strategical reaan for persisting IN lts
new policy of looping all cargoes OF I
everlwhen they might be !
used for the OWL populations but II |
not it should balance against prop
able gain the value Of removing from 1
the American mind the sense of srieV-
ance.
con the other hand, it is for Ann /
aicans TO rememler that actual dis /
location of their traffic due to our (
NAVAL policy. as apart from the IN I
eNtable reactions # the war is trIll- /
ins. We put those considerations |
