Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1915-09-17

The decision in the OF the American
meat cargoes held by the British admiralty court
since November last Is hardly unexpected In its
terms Most OF the cargoes have been declared
contraband and subject TO confiscation, while
some have been released. the right to appeal
from the decision OF tho prize court being
granted in both AS had long been anticipated,
the decision ordering the confscation Of certain
cargoes turns on the fact that the goods we're
consigned to Danish ports, far in excess Of the
normal importations or requirements OF that
country. This It was charged sets up a strong
presumption that the ultimate destination was
further on, and that eventually the meats and
other supplies involved might fall into enemy
hands. Sir Samuel T. Evans president Of the
prize court. says this presumption is not taken
as conclusive proof Of the enemy destination OF
the goods but Il is relied upon as sufficient to
warrant the confiscation. This practice of the
British finds precedent in the history Of the
United States. this country, when belligerents
having taken exactly the same stand that is now
held by the British government. The point yet
to be determined is the right OF the United States
10 traffic freely with neutrals, regardless of its
trade with either Of the belligerents. Can we
sell to Dutch or Scandinavian buyers all they
wish TO buy, or must we limit them to what one
OF the warning countries thinks they ought to
have?
