(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Oom-
 ination by the allied nations of
 the worlds raw materials which
 are essential to American manu-
 lecturers are proved conclusive
 Iy to officials here by the com
 pletion today of comprehensive
 summary of British trade policies
 as to imports into this country.
 As a result the recent Paris econ
 omic conference of the entente
 powers is regarded here with far
 greater disquiet than before.
 All Powers Use Blacklist
 In consequence an earnest study of the facts available is being made and every effort extended to supplement the information now at hand. Every indication since the conference has tended to decrease the feeling that it's provisions could not be carried through Since then, 1t is pointed out the blacklist which had been enforc- ed by England for some time, has been accepted in principle by all the allies.
 What Is more, the agreement made then for closer economic unity be- tween the governments is shown by reports now coming in.
 Is Menace Fd U. S.
 In the compilation of the various agreements which England has insti- tuted in this country to prevent allied resources from going to Germany's aid is seen a strong indication of what the allies might do through diff ferent methods after the war. This domination of the supply of certain raw materials after year of war, considered in connection with article three of the Paris agreement, is be- lieved to constitute a distinct menace to this country. Article three says:
 May Even Mean Embargo
 "The allies declare themselves agreed to conserve for the allied coun- tries. before all others, their natural resources during the whole of the period of commercial, industrial, agri- cultural and maritime construction and for this purpose to undertake to establish special arrangements to fa- cilitate the interchange of these re- sources"
 Control of Metals
 There are no less than 14 different forms for various materials which American importers must file with British consuls before certain goods can be released to them from the British dominions. These materials, according to the complete list sent to- day, included tin, chloride of tin and tin ore; wool. jute. shellac. tanning materials, antimony, rubber, dia- monds, mica, raw leather, plumbago, all the alloys of iron, including ferro- manganese, cobalt, chrome. tungsten, molybdenum. vanadium, nickel, and several kinds of ore.
 Where possible the restriction is affected through the chief American associations of manufacturers inter- ested in the trade. In cases where the importer cannot apply through and be vouched for by such an organ ization. he signs a personal agree ment with the British consul.
 Importers accept the conditions for the whole length Of the war and for all goods of the kind imported, even though part of the supply is from neu tral or American sources. The condi- tions, which run through the whole list of agreements, provide:
 Restrict Imports to U. S.
 That the importer is bringing in the goods for his own use in manufactur ing and not for further sales; that in no case will he sell to blacklisted firm; that in cases he will sell only to the British empire and in others he will sell to neutrals only through London under license obtained through the British consuls.
 Always it is provided that the origi- nal contracts and documents will be held ready for examination by the British authorities.
