GREAT BRITAIN DEFENDS
THE SEIZURE OF SHIPS
England Explains Action, but Does Not
Answer United States Protest on
Holding American Vessels.

Washington, June 26.-Lord Crewe's
memorandum to Ambassador Page.
dealing with the complaint of deten-
tion Of American cargoes bound for
neutral ports, was made public on
Thursday by the state department.
State department officials would not
comment on the memorandum. In the
opinion Of experts on international
law who have followed the controversy
between the two governments. the
memorandum Is not Of character to
afford much satisfaction. 1t holds out
little expectation OF materia! relief to
American commerce from the hard
ships inflicted upon it by British regu-
lations and violation Of the principles
of international law as pointed out by
the United States In its note Of
March 80
In his note of transmittal. Ambas-
sador Page says that the memoran-
DUN is not intended as an answer to
the principles set forth in the note
Of March 80, but merely an ''explana-
ton of concrete cases and the regula-
tons under which they are dealt with
The British memorandum made
public Thursday contains distinct de-
NAL of certain rights for which the
United States in the note of March
30 contends. So to an extent at least
1t must be taken as an answer to that
note.
