ORDER AFFECTS
united STATES
British to Bar Importation Of
All LlyariaS.
WILL HIT AMERICAN TRADE

No Ground For Protest by the United
States, However, Since There Is to
Be No ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Cutlery, Musical Instruments, Hard.
ware and other Things to Be Placed
Under the Ban.
Washington, March 18.-lssuance
at London Of new orders in council re.
stricting imports into the United
Kingdom has been expected here for
some time, but the belief has been
that they would apply only to neutral
countries and not to Canada or other
British dominions or possessions. The
order will be issued at an early date.
American trade will be seriously af-
eected by the action, but it is realized
that since there is to be no discrim-
ination there will be no ground for
protest by the United States. The sub.
1ect has been discussed and consid.
cred at the state department for
weeks as result OF unmistakable in.
timations that the step was impend-
ing.
Among the things which will be
placed under the British ban will be
automobiles for private use, musical
instruments, cutlery of all kinds, hard.
ware, yarns. chinaware, fancy goods
and soaps. The order will apply equal.
ly to all countries. including the Brit
ish doninions and colonies.
While the need Of Great Britain for
chips to carry necessities is recog-
nized, 1t is generally believed that an
ether important factor in the situation
ts the desire of British interests to
equalize the rate of exchange between
London and New York. With imports
from the United States limiteu to art-
Cles and products imperatively need.
ed, the balance Of trade in favor of
America necessarily would be reduced
and the value of pound sterling on
this side of the water might get back
to near normal again.
One of the most serious aspects Of
the situation, in the view of officials
here, Is the probability that Great
Britain's ever-increasing demands
upon her merchant marine will with
draw British ships now plying ne-
iween North and South America
With few American or other neutral
vessels available this would have a
disastrous effect upon the plans Of
merchants and manufacturers ot<tEe
United States to develop their trade
with the southern countries.
