NEW YORK, September 26.-The So

Crawford, commercial attache of the
British embassy at Washington. as a
white list" at a luncheon given in
his honor here yesterday by about fifty
prominent bankers and heads of indus
trial corporations engaged in export

He explained that the term blacklist"
had created a misunderstanding as to
its real objects. and told his hearers
what was being done by the British
government to minimize the censorship

the conference to take up with the en-

purposes of its business. In that case
the principal Of the firm concerned was
sentenced to a term Of Imprisonment,
followed by other disabilities. includ-
ing the stigma Of want Of patriotism.

Blacklist Removes Suspicion.

In these circumstances the British
government was impelled to afford
such information to British subjects as
would enable them to continue to trade
with such firms without fear of bring

the act. After careful examination of
all the evidence before thcm the Brit

the opinion of the British government,
properly to be classed as unneutral.
The publication of these few names
has served to remove this situation.
While 1t has enabled British subjects
to avoid incurring penalties under the
laws of their country, it has ut the
same time relieved a large body of
American citizens from the effect of
unfounded suspicion which might have
had disastrous results on their trading
interests"
