Britain's interference with neutral
mails was the subject Of a sharp
protest on the part OF the United
States in a note to the British gov
ernment, the text of which was pub
1shed here. The communication dis
closes that diplomatic and consular
dispatches have been treated by Brit
lsh officials in a manner regarded by
the United States as "vexatiously in
Quisitorial" which practices are de-
nounced as "unwarranted interfer-
ences." The note also cites repeated
seizures of mail in violation of in
ternational law and challenges Great
Brttain's jurisdiction over mails on
ships touching British ports. Atten-
ton is called to the fact ttat "a strong
feeling is being aroused in the United
States by the loss of valuable let
ters, while foreign bankers are re-
fusing to cash American drafts be-
cause they have no assurance that
drafts are secure in the mails, 80
