Britians Won't
Stop Searches
of US. Ships
Will Not Abandon Search
Right When Cargoes Are
Certified.
"A List Of Nine More seiz-
ures Announced in Lon
don Paper.

LONDON, Jan. 6.-Although the for.
eign office regards with high favor the
American governments plan Of certi.
flying cargoes loaded under the direc.
tion of officials Of the treasury depart.
ment and destined for European ports,
1t was said today that England cannpt
accept such certification as an absolde
guaranty Of the nature of the cargo n
case any cause for suspicion arises af.
ter vessel leaves America. In other
words. the right of search cannot be
waived, because of the possibility Of
shifting cargoes at sea and OF the i'm.
possibility of havin gthe treasury Off.
Ger who issues the certificate accom-.
pany the ship to her destination to
guard against smugglers who may car.
ry copper or other contraband on small
ships to be transferred at sea.
A list of nine steamers bound from
the United States to Scandinavian
ports, whose cargoes or part OF them
have been detained" in British ports,
is given in an official announcement in
the London Gazette. Seven Of them
sailed from New York, one from Phil.
adelphla and one from Baltimore.
The waving of the right to search
ships bearing contraband cargoes, in
the opinion of several prominent Brit.
ish officials, would be an invitation for
smugglers to ply their trade. whereas
the retention Of the right would tend
to prevent dishonesty.
This position is probably the same
as that taken by the foreign office con,
cerning the certification OF manifests
ofAmerican cargoes by British consuls
at American ports.
The government is constantly in
with representatives
of Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Hol.
land. 1t is reported that all OF these
nations are taking steps toirevise their
lists Of prohibited exports SO that they
will correspond with the British con.
traband lists, thus making possible a
resumption of shipping to neutral Eu.
ropean countries from America with.
out delays or the danger Of seizure.

draw his forces from the border. AS,
for the time being the situation is SO
much relieved the foreign office at
Mexico City will take the time neces.
sary for, the purpose Of making a
study Of the case in It's military and
political aspects, with the view Of
giving its final decision. This course
will be followed because of the fact
