FORWARD ENGLAND
BLACKLIST PROTEST
RESTRICTIONS ON AMERICAN
TRADE ARE SET FORTH
VIGOROUSLY.

Washington-Am Ambassa-
dor Page will present to the British
Foreign Office a formal note protest
ing against the blackiisting of Arneri-
can business firms under the trading
with the enemy act. In announcing
that the communication had been
transmitted to London, Acting Secre-
tary Polk said it discussed only the
general principles; Of international law
involved without specifically taking up
cases of individual firms blacklsted.
The note, officially described at the
department AS protest" is said au-
thoritatively to be positive in tenor
and to leave no doubt regarding this
governments attitude, 1t is about l,
600 words in length.
I While officials are retfcent regard
ing details Of the representations
made, it was understood this govern
ment's view that illegal restrictions
are imposed by the blacklist order
upon the freedom of American trade
is set forth in vigorous terms. Some
modification of the order, it is beliey-
ed is insisted upon. There have been
indications that should diplomatic ef-
forts fail to bring relief to affected
American firms, some form of retalia-
ton would be considered by the Unit
ed States.
The British ambassador conferred
with Mr.. Polk and it is believed he
was given full explanation of the
basis Of this governments protest in
international law. Individual cases of
'blacklisted firms, it is expected, will
be taken up in personal conversations
here and at London
