Niscount Grey in the house Of lords
today, said that the United states ad-
mitted the British ships were not ex-
ceeding their legal rights under inter
national law, but that the American
government complained Of their pres
ence on the ground of the irritation
which the continued presence Of bel
ligerent warships off the coast Of the
United states naturally caused In a
neutral country. He declared that the
United States had requested Great
Britain very emphatically not to pa-
troll off its coast and said instructions
were sent to the British ships there to
avoid causing any irritation and to
comply as far as possible with the
American request.

The question concerning the Ger
man submarine raid in American wat
crs was raised by Baron Charles
Bcresford, former commander of the
British home fleet, Earl Grey, former
governor general of Canada, and 9th
ers. Baron Beresford asked whether
British cruisers were removed from
American waters owing to American
objections, and IL so, what steps the
government proposed for the protec-
ton Of British vessels He criticised
the submarine reply as at least curt
and said Che American ideas Of neu-
trality were curious.

always regarded the practice OF hellig-
crent cruisers patrollnE the American
coast In close proximity to the terri
toral waters of the United states and
making the neighborhood a station for
their observations, as inconsistent with
the treatment to be expected from the
naval vessels of friendly power in
time OF war and had maintained that
the consequent maintenance of such
proceedings TO the freedom OF Ameri-
can commerce was yeNauous and un-
courteous TO the United states
I'VE assume that the view Of the
United states government is still that
contained in their dispatch Of Octo-
ber 4. 1870
Niscount Gl6y quoted this to tho
effect that the United States govern
mcnt would regard as an unfricndly
act the lowering of bclligerent vessels
near the American coast in the track
Of commerce to American ports, with
intent to intercept entente merchant
men In conclusion, he said;
