November IS
w The long awaited British

" The long awaited British
reply to the protest against
the British and French blackliSting
of American firms filed by this gov
eminent with the British ministry
of foreign affairs some months
ago, was made public here last
night by the Officials of the state de-
partment.
The answer, which is addressed
to Ambassador Page and is signed
by Earl Grey, minister of state for
foreign affairs of the Asquith gov
eminent denies fatty that the
rights of neutral traders under in
ternationl law have been ruthless
ly violated by Great Britain" as al
legged in the note Of protest sent to
London by Secretary of State Lam
sing.
Denies Aim Of List
The reply also fully defines the
objects and intention of the black
list which it holds is in the last an
alysis "municipal' or police regu-
lation and subject therefore to the
control of the individual govern
ments which have put it into force.
The object of the black list is to
"curtail or shorten by any means
the war that is" now raging in
Europe, adds the reply, and is not
aimed in any way at the trade OF
neutrals.
Earl3Grey also attempts to con-
vince the American authorities
that the position Of the British
government is just and fully
founded upon the law of nations
In such cases. The British for
eign minister does however leave
open a door for further negotia-
tons, should the United States
officials decide to proceed further
with the controversy.
The portion of the note from
London which is attra ting the
major amount of the attention of
the American officials is that sec
ton which is devoted to the sub
ject of peace.
Replies To U. S. Contention
Earl Grey takes up the conten-
ton advanced by the American
government that the necessity for
a blacklist does not exist. The
American position has been that
there is no need for such a move
on the part of the Allies, in as
much as nothing which is done
in distant neutral nations can in
fluence the result of the war in
Europe, and that as consequence
there is no reason why the war
ring powers should interfere with
the commerce of such nations.
This, says the British minister in
his note, is not so. IF that were the
case, says the British reply, "one
might with justice describe the mea-
sureS we have adopted as uncalled
for and unneeded. We wish indeed
that such was the case.
Although the position of the AL
lies has been greatly improved of
lrte, there remain before us still a
long ard bitter struggle, a struggle |
which necessitates the employment
Of every possible opportunity and
of every possible measure by which
We may lcgitinatcly overcome our
opponents.

NAVAL BILL MAY PASS TODAY
Hardest Fought Provisions Have
Been Approved by Senate.

The hardest fought provisions of the
naval bill had been approved when the
Senate took up the measure again to-
day. Adoption of the increased build

ments thought likely to bring deter

One would have the federal trade
commission investigate the armor plate
situation before the government builds
a plant. The other would prohibit use
of United States warship in Latin
American waters from collecting money
due a private individual.
Leaders hoped to pass the bill today
