international News Service:


WASHINGTON. July 81. - The
administration confidently expects
Great Britain to withdraw her boy
colt of American firms. 1t is said
that there will be considerable de-
bate before this object is attained,
and that the British foreign office
will defend its action 10 the last,
but in the end the president feels
certain that this country's warning
viii be needed.
The boycott note, sent forward last
week and made public today, makes
1t plain that under no circumstances
will the United States submit TO the
creation of IAN eXparte blacklist. -
The protest, while giving England
the benefit of the doubt, in suggest
ing that the blacklist was created
without a full realization of the
many undesired and undesirable re-
suits that might ensue," makes il
plain that the friendly relations be-
tween the two governments are en-
dangered by the act Of the British
foreign Office.
Another point emphasized in the
protest, and one which is expected
to become a factor in all of the re-
lations between the United States
and the various belligerents, is that
citizens of the United States are en-
tirely within their rights in attempt
ing to trade with belligerent nations
subject only TO the rulings of inter-
national law.

press the demands made in the pro-
test TO the limit. The preliminary
reply, suggested by the British am
bassador 10 Acting Sec'y of State
Polk, that the blacklist now was
completed and would not be extend
ed, will not be satisfactory TO this
government. That is alt right as far
as it goes. but the demand Of the
United states, administration Off
Gals say. is that England withdraw
its blacklist against the firms now
under the ban.
The very fact that the blacklist
already has cost Americans millions
of dollars in the destruction Of for
eign affiliations which have been
fostered for years" is cited by this
government as the chief reason why
the blacklist should be Immediately
withdrawn.
