of March 30, comes the intimation that
England hopes to attack any suggestion
mat the trade Of the United States has
suffered by citing some of the figures
of Secretary Of Commerce Redfield.
These figures, which deal with the
trade balance since the commencement
of the war, will be depended on by the
British foreign office to, show that,
while It Is true that trade with Germany
has completely stopped, the exports to
the countries contiguous to German
territory is so large that there can be
no doubt that much Of the goods ul-
timately reaches Germany. 49,.
Although this Government has been
told that the British reply Is being pre-
pared there is. yet no intimation as to
when. it may be expected. 1t is con-
sidered certain in high quarters. how

only effect that the sending OF Brit

Meanwhile. officials continue to re-
