ade Of Germany reached the Prrsi-
dent today.
1t specifically states the allies Sc
tion is a matter of fact rather tnsii 8

the correspondence which has passed
between the United States ard Eng
land and France is ignored.
It is unlikely that the protest VII
be sent to either England OF France
for several days. Officials az ':e
White House and the State Depaft-
mcnt say there is no apparent need
Of haste.
The first protest is TO he Il genera
one against the entire suggestion. i
vii! state that even though the -.
lies should hope TO create a gencsa;
situation which would interfere vita
all commerce to and from the Ger
man coast cities, unless such blocl.
ade is established within territor'ai
waters it will not be considered g.
fective by the United States.
And the United States will suggcat
inat in the last analysis the nces~
ton really at issue is the right r.
American citizens TO trade with who
they please, so long as they are n:
dealing in contraband.
II was Officially denie: at the Whit
House today that President Wiisrn
is considering a special session -

such an act would be construed a.: 2
violation Of neutrality.
The Administration is satisfied the
allies will meet the United States AT
least half way in the discussion Of
the German blockade and there is no
apprehension anywhere that il cannot
be arranged through diplomatic cir
cles.
The United States will lay down
one fundamental protest against The
demand thar the United States agree
that no American goods reach Gci-
many through neutral countries.
1t will be pointed out that the cont
merce between the United States
and neutral nations is a matter pa-
tween this country and those nations
and it will he frankly stated that
interference with such commerce IS
a decidedly unfriendly act.
