ADDED CONTROVERSY
EXPECTED BY U. S.
OVER BLACklISTS'

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Further
negotiations between the American
and British governments over Amer
ica's objections to great Britain's
trade blacklist were considered GER
tain here today. A British reply to
the latest American protest, made
public last night by the state depart
ment, defends the British position
and leaves open the door for further
exchanges.
Great Britain's defense of the black
list declares the measure is purely a
municipal regulation, denies it in
vades neutral rights and asserts its
purpose is to shorten the war. There
can be no contention, the note de-
clares, that the British have not the
right to deny the facilities Of British
commerce to those who assist the
cause of Britain's enemies wherever
domiciled.
