Sir Edwards Grey 5 Speech Blasts
Hopes Of Extremists
LIMIT HAS BEEN REACHED
More Drastic Regulations Would Lose
Great Britain the Friendship of
Neutrais.

! London, Jan. 26.-The speeches OF
Sir Edward Grey il The house of
commons and of the Marquis of Lans-
downe minister without portfolio, in
the house of lords this afternoon ON
the blockade policy OF Great Britain
dispelled all hope among those favor
ing a formal blockade of Germany
that the government would push such
action.
Foreign Secretary Grey made the
following statement:
Through investigation by the gov
ernment of the situation with regard
to shipments to Germany shows that
everything possible is being done with
out causing serious troubles with
neutrals."
If, he added, there was any policy
more pleasing to neutrals than the
one at present in force, the govern
ment would be pleased to examine
and to consider it II 1T appeared equal
ly effective.
In regard to the negotiations of
the United States and the intentions
of the government in treating Ameri-
cas- protests, he said:
1--WE are telling the American gov
ernment in our reply to the last note
from Washington, that we are consid-
ering the whole matter in consulta-
tion with the French government and
that we may consult our other allies,
III we concede everything asked in
the last note from the United States
we will have to give up our attempt
to stop even contraband from reach.
ing. the enemy, If VIC apply the, prin-
ciples OF blockade expounded by the
United States in the Civil war, then
neutrals should help England. If
they say England should not be per-
mitted to interfere with shipments to
Germany in accordance with these
principles, then they must depart
from neutrality"
