WASHINGTON. August i4.--lu its
reply to .Aus,ria's protest that the ship
ment OF arms to the allies under pres
cnt circumstances IS practically an un-
neutral act this government. in a note
sent last night, maintains that in order
to prove that proposition the protest
should demouStrnt" t,:a, the United
states has an ultCr!or purpose in con-
tinuing such commerce
The answer deals principally with
Two suojects-thc contention OF Aus
tria that the effect OF the present
commerce is clearly to tho advantage
of the allies. and is 10 that extent un-
neutral. and an argument on the in
diSputable right ul American citizens
TO ship contrabaud anywhere in the
world, subject to seizure and capture
by belliEcrcnt.
An Official OF the state Department
said to-day that the United States was
Obliged to hold that ii was the acct
dent OF circumstances" which pre-
Vented Austria Hungary and Germany
from getting munitions OF war from
America. He said that the neutrality
Of the United states could not he chil-
lenged. and tina; the same argument
rs Is now made Was practically en-
braced in tho communication sent 10
the senate l. brtlSn ltclatlOnS tbmlhlt-
tee some time ago, when Germany
charged that the commerce in mu-
nitions OF war was substantially an
unneutral commerce. This official said
the charge OF unncutralty could he
made successfully only if Il foreign
nation could demonstrate that the
purpose OF the commerce" was cs-
sentiall, hostile To the German gov
eminent and it's allies.
- The position OF the state Depart;
rncnt was announced in statement
prepared October -. 1914, which said:
Neither the President nor any en-
3Sutive department OF tho government
possesses the legal authority to inter
Tere in any way with trad" between
the people of this country and the
7erritory Of a helliScr"nt. There is
no act o! Congress confcrrin. such
authority or prohibiting traffic OF this
sort with European nations, although
in the case Of neighborin- American
republics Congress has given the
President power I" proclaim an en-
barge on arms aud ammunition when
in his judgmcn, i; would tend Ia pre-
vent civil strife.
The attitude of the department at
that time and NOW * that a citizen
OF the United State: ,nn sell articles
which are exclusively for war pur-
poses to any hclliccrcnt. hut that lit
is the encmy's duty 10 prevent the az:
