BRITISH BOYCOTT
RAISES BIG STORM
Publication Of London Blacklist Be-
ieved to Be Opening Gun in
Trade War

Washington. July 22.-A flood of
protest from all parts Of the United
States against the British boycott IS
pouring in upon the White House and
the state department. The action of
Great Britain in making public a gen
cral list Of American firms who have
been bOycotted because they trade
with England'S enemies" has aroused
public sentiment, ana demands for re
taliutory legislation are reaching here
from various commercial organiza-
lions and individuals affected.
The state department Is planning
action. II must wait, officials say, a
reasonable time" for official notilica-
ton Of Great Britaln's action. If that
is not forthcoming. direct inquiry
will be made at London.
Officials very frankly say that the
making public of this boycott list is,
in their opinion, the opening gun in
what likely will prove relentless
trade war against all neutrals who
have refused to accept without protest
the restrictions placed upon com
mcrCe by the entente allies. They
point to the fact that the present boy
colt list was prepared by the British
board of trade ANA that 1t has been
/ operative for more than year, al.

MAIL MEMORANDUM
RAISES BIG STORM
London Informed Forecast Of Re-
ply Is Unsatisfactory.
WANTS ANSWER TO OLD NOTE
Officials Consider Note as Wholly
Evading Principle Involved and
Recognize Controversy as
Acute and Dangerous.

Washington, July 25.-The state de-
partment informed the British govern
ment that its memorandum on the
mails was wholly unsatisfactory to the
United States in meeting the issue
raised over interference with the
mails.
In acknowledging receipt of the
memorandum cabled from London the
state department again served notice
on Great Britain that it still awaited
a reply TO its note of May "A, which
has gone unanswered for two months.
Reply Evades Principle.
The memorandum, which was given
to the press by the state department,
is considered as wholly evading the
principle involved. The memorandum
confines itself almost exclusively to
discussion of two specific instances,
defends the censors for expediting
their work of espionage, and adds that
the British government will always
be ready to explain in detail the
workings of the censorship"
State department officials declare
they do not need any explanation of
the workings of the censorship. They
have had sufficient complaints from
American firms whose confidential let
ters were riflled of their contents TO
know all they want to know about the
censors' activities.
What the United States government
wants Great Britain to do is TO re-
spOnd TO the American contention
that genuine correspondence is under
conventional stipulation inviolable.'
The memorandum made public here
was accepted as fOrecasting a fiat de-
NAL of American demands in the
forthcoming reply to the note of two
months ago. In response to request
made several days ago for an immedi-
ate reply Great Britain explains that
her reply is withheld pending consul
tation with her allies, In her last com
munication Great Britain brought
France into the case by sending an
identical note, although the United
States has had no quarrel with France
| whatever over the mails.
To Ignore PROTEST.
The design of the British govern
| ment in continuing its latest memoran-
| dun To two specific cases is accepted
as an argument that the testimony
| furnished by the United States is not
| sufficient to make case. Officials
read into the memorandum a declara-
| ton of intention by Great Britain TO
proceed with her censorship in spite
| of the American governments protest.
| Everything in the preliminary reply
was taken to indicate that Great Bri-
tain will discard The Hague rules as
| the Declaration of London has been
discarded.
The White House and state depart.
ment recognize the mails controversy
as an acute and dangerous issue and
one which the United States must
| contest with every means at its com
| mand. officials realize, however, that
| the United States cannot act With
| fnality so long as the British govern
ment evades the issue, and for that
| reason every effort will be made to
| force that government TO make speci-
| tic reply as to the principle involved.
