BRITISH MAINTAIN RIGHTS.

Answer to United States Note in Ref
erence to Sea Trade.
Washington.-The latest British note
in answer to the American protest
against allied interference with neu-
trail trade, made public Monday at the
state department, contends that the
practices complained Of are "judicially
sound and valid" and that the relief
which neuartals seek is rather to be
obtained by the mitigation Of neces-
sary hardship than by abrupt change
either in the theory or application of
a policy based upon admitted princi-
pies of international law, carefully ad-
justed to the altered conditions of mod
ern warfare. .
1t discloses that can impartial and
Influential commission" has been APP
pointed to find ways to minimize de-
lays and pledges the allies to make
their Restraints on trade as little bur
densome to neutrals as possible.
The note, in which the French gov
eminent concurs, reiterates the mill
tary necessity of regulating COM
merce to neutrals contiguous to Ger
many and justifies the effectiveness of
the blockade which was challenged by
the last American note.
More diplomatic correspondence
over the issue is expected to follow.
