IT'S A BRITISH BLUNDER
Neutral Diplomat Criticises Blacklist
May Prevent French Loan.

London, July ga neutral diplo-
mat exceptionally well informed re-
garding the details Of the economic
war which Great Britain is waging on
the central allies, declared today to a
representative of the Associated Press,
that he regarded the recent publica-
ion by the British government OF the
blacklist of certain American firms as
the greatest possible tactical blum
der at this stage, when French loan
is about to be floated in America and
important Russian financial arrange
ments are under way there.
ut is blunder,'' continued the
diplomat because it is unnecessary
since for months most of the firms on
the list have been on a sub-rosa black
list At any rate they were not on the
white list so the government had COM
plete control over any of their opera
tions which touched British territory.
Why Published a Mystery.
Its publication at this time is a
mystery One possible theory is that
the governments hand was forced by
reca1citrant British firms which may
have declined to give up trading with
firms not on the white list unless their
position was made legally untenable
by the actual PRONUNCIATION of the list.
Possibility of legal retaliation
against the blacklist is a question for
international lawyers, but the posi-
bility of an unofficial retaliation is al
most unlimited. At least a Pacific
coast firm of unimpeachable Ameri-
canism might make the position of
British traders in a number of fertile
fields decidedly uncomfortable"
