DRASTIC ACTION
: AGAINST ENGLAND
U. S. DIsLlKEs PLAN OF PUTTING
NEUTRAL NATIONS ON
RATION BASIS.
SEEKS TO CONTROL SUPPLIES
No Official Report Yet to State De.
partment, But Administration Is
Concerned Over curtailment
of Our Export Trade.

Washington.-In the absence of in.
formation detailing what commodities
are affected by the new British re-
striCtions on American trade with
Holland and the Scan navian coun-
tries, officials here are uncertain Just
how heavily American exporters will
suffer. Steps to secure this informa-
ton already have been taken and it
was indicated that should any sweep
ing extension of restrictive measures
be rev called it would be regarded as
a serious development in the contro-
versy over the legality Of allied
methods.
No report on the new order has
come through official channels, but
news dispatches regarding it were
called Immediately to the attention
of the British embassy by state de-
partment officials with informal in
quiries as to the purpose and scope
of the proposal.
Officials Much Concerned.
Officials expressed much concern
over the first report that the new
order would completely cut off trade
with Holland and seriously cripple
that with the Scandinavian countries.
In some quarters it IA suggested
that the present was a particularly
inopportune time for promulgating
such a decree.
Secretary Lansing is studying in
~tricacies of the new legislation under
which the executive branch of the
government is empowered to take
drastic retaliatory action against ma
lions interfering with American
trade.
Farm Products Much Affected.
While American exports to Holland
already have been greatly curtailed
by a series of British orders, a con
siderable trade, especially in food
stuffs, still is done with that coun'
try. Wheat, flour, corn, basic oils
and tobacco are among the most i'm
portant articles being sent there.
In addition to the e order, state
department officials are ~investigat
ing an arrangement effected by Great
Britain and France for establishment
of bureaus to effect an exchange Of
merchandise on the list of prohibited
imports. Until its effects are under
stood no formal protests will bt
made. LegaANauthorities of the de
partment believe that such a plaI
is in c~ontravention Of the British
American commercial treaty of 1916
which provides for free access of ma
tionals and ships of all the RESPECTIVE
countries and for unrestricted com
merce unless prohibition of import
apply alike to all countries.
