BOYCOTT ANSWER
EvADES PROTEST
British Reply Fails to Meet
Objections of u. S. to
Blacklist.

Sir Cecil Spring Rice, British Am
bassador. upon instructions from the
London foreign office. Informed Third As
sistant Secretary of State Charles
Phillips yesterday that, while the ap-
ptcatlon of the terms of the British
trading with the enemy act would affect
persons firms and corporations included
IN the published blacklist, they would
not affect any American interest trad
ing with those so listed.
1t was said by high officials that the
promise did not overcome this country's
objections to the blacklist itself as an
unwarranted interference with American
commerce.
Neutral trade has been injured to a far
greater extent than German trade under
the application of the provision of the
British trading with the enemy act. ac-
cording to State Department officials who
discussed yesterday the hardships i'm
posed on neutral commerce by the
publication of blacklists of neutral firms
by Great Britain.
The chief concern of this government,
1t was said, lies in the possibilities of
application of the assumed right to
blacklist American and other firms.
1t gives England. If she resists efforts
to have the practice annuIled the right
to veto any commercial transactions in
any part of the world. II one firm in
a neutral country can be blacklisted. It
was said. thousands of such firms may
be blacklisted. Anybody might be in
cluded in a blacklist, IL 1t should be
conceded that Great Britain has the
right to prescribe one.
