Firms ON
England'S
Blacklist
List of 70 to 80 with
Which the Britishers
May Not Trade
is FIRST TIME
APPLIED IN u. S.

London. July 17.-The British govern
ment tomorrow will publish a list of
from 20 to so business firms and indi
viduals doinciled in the United States
with which residents Of the United
Kingdom are forbidden to trade. This
will be the first time that any Ameri-
can firms have been placed on the
statutory list which is better known
as the trading with the enemy. act
blacklist" All other countries have
been represented on the list for some
time.
An Explanation
Laming Worthington Evans, control
Ter of the foreign trade department OF
the foreign office today gave The AS
sociated Press the following explana-
tion of the latest extension of the
trading with the enemy act:
1t has been the policy of the Brit
ish government in the past to follow
the theory that, in forbidding its sub
jects TO trade with an enemy. enemies
domiciled in friendly countries did not
come under the act France and varl-
Gus other countries hold the doctrine
that their nationals cannot trade with
an enemy, no matter what his domlclle.
Modern conditions Of credit and COM
merce make it possible for an enemy
outside belligerent territory to trade
with his country. Therefore a consld-
cradle body of opinion in this country
urged the government to abandon its
traditional doctrine and the foreign Of
flee while not going to this extreme,
decided simply to prohibit persons do
micied in the United Kingdom from
trading with a limited number of in
diviGuals, firms or companies OF enemy
nationality-or association-under the
same penalties as though they were
trading with an enemy"
The statement continues: 1T will De
clear that this policy embodied in the
recent act is purely piece of domes-
tic legislation which only interferes
with trade even in the cases Of speci.
fed concerns, by prohibiting persons
domiciled in the United Kingdom from
dealing with these concerns. It is a
consequence simply and solely of the
exercise Of the right of the state to
limit or control the trade in the inter-
est of its own subject. 1t affects:
German firms with head offices or
control in Germany
Second. German firms incorporated
in the United States and therefore
technically American entities. We have
dealt with these firms on their merits.
In these cases something more has
been required to qualify them for the
statutory list than German nationality
