They Try to Place
Blame for Neutral
Trade Disturbance

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-nesponsibility,
as between Great Britain and Germany,
for the disturbance of neutral trade on
the seas, was the subject of another
spirited debate in the senate today dur
ing consideration of Senator Walsh's
resolution to investigate the freight em-
barge at eastern ports.
When Senator Newlands was stating
that the tieing up of German ships was
partly responsible, Senator Y German in
quired il he considered in that connec-
ton that 200 neutral vessels had been
taken from commerce because Of British
orders in council rightly DESIGNATED by
the State department to be in violation
of all international law.
1T is not true that the trade has been
deprived of 200 neutral vessels" declared
Senator Nelson. Many neutral ships
may have been taken into port by Great
Britain, but only for temporary deliy
during search for contraband. What has
taken freight ships off tn ocean are Ger.
man submarines that have been blowing
up freighters."
Senator O'Gorman insisted he had not
said the 200 vessels had been held up
continuously, but some so taken had been
held up for months. Debate on the Walsh
resolution was not concluded and will BE
resumed tomorrow.
