BRITISH TO MEET U. S.
OBJECTIONS IN PLANS
OF GERMAN BLOCKADE
Enforcement Will Prove Hard
Task, but Will Remove
Grounds for Controversy
With Washington
WILL INSIST ON RIGHTS

WASHINGTON, Jan. Il.
England and the United States were
prepared today to join Issue, direct and
clear cut, over the question of British
trade interference. Agitation In London
for declaration of an actual blockade OF
Germany, TO replace the paper blockade
of the orders in council, promised to bring
the Anglo American disputes to head.
State Department officials said the
effect upon this country OF Englands ac-
tually blockadlng Germany would have
some good and some unsatisfactory re-
suits. 1t would largely remove American
objections given in the late general note
on British commercial interference.
In that note the American Government
refused to recognize the paper blockade
as legal or binding upon this nation. 1t
refused to admit England's right TO cut
Off American trade with Germany direct
or Indirect. while an actual blockade was
not being enforced.
Declaration by England of real block
ade OF Germany, officials here declared
would thus remove one of the principal
issues between the countries, II England
failed to enforce IL. however American
shippers right TO sell to Germany would
still be maintained.
The right OF the United States TO sell
large quantities OF merchandise TO neutral
countries. even though greatly increased
purchases by those countries should raise
the suspicion that their ultimate destina-
ton was Germany, will still be insisted
upon.
In Official and Diplomatic quarters grave
question was raised today regarding Eng
lands ability TO ENFORCE the proposed
blockade. Except by resort to diplomatic
pressure OF the most extreme kind on
GeTmany's neighbors England cannot
blockade the Empire many believe. Rus
sia's cooperation in the blockade, II was
expected, would be asked TO cut off Ger
many in the Baltic
This Government was prepared 10 resist
any feature of the blockade which should
be inimical to American commerce with
Denmark Sweden or Holland.
