Editorial Comment
Still Holding up American Commerce

Secretary Lansing is said to believe
that the retaliatory legislation or Con-
gress is unenforceable because any at
tempt to enforce it would be a direct
violation of our commercial treaties.
This may be true. The treaties certain
lv do not contemplate our refusing
clearance to vessels, that refuse to car
ry the goods of Americans who are dis
pleasing to the British. Neither do they
contemplate the blacklisting of Ameri-
cans by the British Government. the
seizure and detention Of American car
goes and the opening of American mails.
The retaliatory legislation has not
been enforced as yet, and the arrogant
presumption of the British ofhclals In
their disregard of American commercial
rights shows no diminution. A late In
stance is the steamer Aymeric, from
New York to Manila, two American
ports. The steamer stopped at Hong
kong and was straightway overhauled
by the British authorities there and 1900
packages of goods removed from her. not
because they were contraband. or bound
to an enemy port but because they We're
consigned to firm on the British black
list.
A few weeks ago two other steamers
on the same course between New York
and Manila stopping at Hongkong
were searched and deprived of their car
goes. The goods were not cantraband,
and the only justification attempted for
their seizure was that they were con-
signed to firms on the British blacklist.
1t is said that these two cargoes have
been since released. Perhaps the same
course will be followed in the case OF
the Aymeric cargo. Some one higher up
attempts occasionally to make some
amends for these outrages. but they do
not cease.
The cargoes in all three Of these ves-
sells were shipped by Americans and con-
signed to Americans. The ships them
selves were British vessels. Foreign
vessels are permitted to ply between the
ports Of the United States and the Phil
ippines. If the shippers thought they
might find safety for American cargoes

merce. Must that power Of retaliation

Britain are not in accord with It? Shall

gravest injury and is itself without
color of right and violation OF the la"
of nations?
