PUT ON BRITISH BLACKLIST
SEVENTY AMERICAN FIRMS ARE

Companies With Which Residents Of
England Are Forbidden to Trade
to BE Published.

London, July 18.-The British gov
eminent will publish a list of from
20 to 80 business firms and individ-
uals, domiciled in the United States
with whom residents of the United
Kingdom are forbidden to trade. This
will be the first time that any Amer
lean firms have been placed on the
statutory list which is better known
as the Trading with the enemy act
blacklist. All other countries have
been represented on the list for some
time.
Enemy Act Is Explained.
Laming Worthington Evans, control
Ter Of the foreign trade department
of the foreign office, gave the Asso-
ciated Press the following explanation
Of the latest extension Of the trading
with the enemy act:
ut has been the policy of the Brit
ish government in the past to follow
the theory that in forbidding it's sub
jects to trade with an enemy, that
enemies domiciled in friendly coun-
tries did not come under the act.
hold the doctrine that their nationals
cannot trade with an enemy, no mat
ter what his domicile. Modern con-
ditions of credit and commerce make
it possible for an enemy outside the
belligerent territory to trade with his
country.
Urged to Abandon Doctrine.
Therefore, a considerable body Of
this country urged the government to
abandon it's traditional doctrine, and
the foreign office, while not going to
this extreme, decided to simply pro.
hibit persons domiciled in the United
Kingdom trading with limited num-
Der of individuals, firms and compan-
les of enemy or association under the
same penalties as though they were
trading with an enemy"
