may STOP EXPECTATION
OF MUNITIONS OF WAR
Senator Hoke Smith Thinks This
Probable. Unless British Order
in Council Is Modified.
TAKES ISSUE WITH STATEMENT
Hopes That English Government Will
Cease Disregartiing International
Law to Injury of the American
People.

WASHING TON May "o.--As chair
man of the congressional committee
selected TO study the situation Of cot !
ton exports. Senator Hoke Smith, of
Georgia, issued a statement in reply TO
the memorandum OF the British For
eiEn Office published OH Thursday He
declared that the British communica-
tons surprised all familiar with tho
facts and astonished students OF in
ternational law"
AT the last session of Congress.
he added. there was a strong scnti-
ment in favor of stopping the exporta-
ton of munitions of war 10 the allies
Unless this order in council is modi-
fed. when Congress meets the exporta-
ton of munitions of war will be
stopped. and the action by Congress
may go much further"
The statement quotes the provisions
as to shipments of cotton contained in
the British announcement. also the
statement that these were described TO
the British ambassador here by Ameri-
can cotton men as "concedinc all that
American interests could properly ask. .
and the further statement that the
provisions Of the arrangement were
acceptable 10 the United States.
Il take issue With each of these
statements" said Senator Smith. NO
representative of American cotton in
terests was authorized 10 make any
such agreement. No representative of
American cotton interests made any
such agreement 1t is strange that the
British government should have reached
the conclusion that this arrangement
was acceptable to the United States
government"
The Senator quoted from a commu-
nication handed to the State Depart
ment on October by the British am
bassador, saving that the amb assador
had been advised by Sir Edward Grey
that cotton was and would remain on
the free list on that assurance, he
says, American growers contracted for
sales in Europe in January and Febru-
airy for delivery - subsequent months.
For Great Britain to seize cotton
after the first of Marcn under these
circumstances" he adds. became an
act especially severe, and will subject
Great Britain to heavy damages. AL
most entirely as n result of the illegal
action OF Great Britain. cotton has in
creased in price over cents a pound
on the Continent of Europe, while it
has fallen l-o cents n pound in
Great Britain and in the United
States"
Concluding his statement, Senator
Smith says
Let me hope that the British gov
eminent. in accordance with the cor
dial goodwill which has existed be.
tween the people Of the two countries
for more than 100 years, will cease
Gisrcgarding International law to the
injury of our people"
