the most important matter now before
this government in connection with
the war in Europe. While public at

Present Burden Irksome
The present burdens on American
commerce are regarded as particularly
irksome and aggravatinE, because
large part of the difficulties In specihc
cases are attributable to the British
administrative methods, rather than to
British policies. 1t Is said that in the
majority of the cases which have
given trouble TO American interests
there has been every effort to comply
with the orders and rules of the British
government. The effect OF the British
orders I'm council has been. 1t is stated.
TO put an end to practically all at
tempts to ship goods into Germany.
That is. the difficulties now met with
by American trade are not due to ef-
