Washington.-Presidnt Wilson Mon.

Secretary Lansing and legal experts
at the state department made the orig.
inal draft Of the note and the presi.
dent revised its phraseology. It IL
made up largely Of legal arguments
to meet the contentious Of Great Brit.
ain. in the memorandum, concurred in
BY France, presented to the state de.
partment several weeks ago. The
United States takes the position that
practices complained of in its FIRST
complaint on the subtect have been
continued, and the American govern
ment must now insist more emphat.
lcally that they cease.
State department officials consider
that the chief weakness In the posi-.
don Of Great Britain Is her policy OF
taking neutral mail vessels into Brit.
ish jurisdiction and submitting them
to local censorship regulations.
