put some of these on the list?
They might do so on the ground
that they were articles Of general
use for general commercial as we'll

It would be polite for us not TO
make the list too large at first"
1t was this reason that Sir Ed
ward vetoed the early proposal to
declare cotton absolute contra
band.
Such practical calculations as
these, however, were foreign to our
own more altruistic diplomatistS,
like House and Page. But there
was one American official who was
more alert.
Mr.. Robert Lansing, the cOun-
selor for the State Department,
remained unimpressed by Great
Britain's consideration" After
the British reply on the Declare
ton of London, Ambassador
Spring Rice had sensed that
something was up among the
lawyers of the State Department"
His intuition was soon verified.
In the absence of Secretary
Bryan, Mr. Lansing had devised a
note in protest against the British
notifications" of the declaration.

on Sept. 81, to the President.
It's terms made the Colonel's
hair rise; instead, however, Of
merely recommending that it be
toned down, he conceived the
more remarkable idea of submit
ting it first to the British am
basSador.
The next day he was in secret
session with Spring Rice over the
formidable document; the am

Edward that he was really aston

his paragraphs was naturally
loud in his alarms.
House fastened to submit the
note to the British representative
for revision; together they devised
the cable which should actually
be sent, and agreed, as House IN
nocently noted, ito be absolutely
frank with one another" in the
future.
Thus was the first important
American diplomatic effort of the
World War secretly watered down
by the intended recipients. 1t

revised version.

Cheerfully announced by the
Allied press and public men.
In the way Of this project there
stood but one difficulty. That was
the United States.
The Central Powers could not
be isolated from the world with
out the destruction of some of our
best markets and the eXCiSiOn from
our economy of about 13 per cent
of our foreign trade. 1t was a
point which our own statesmen
were slow to appreciate.
THE British statesmen, how
l. ever, had ShreWder grasp of
the realities. They never lost
sight of the inCOnvenient fact that
the United States not only had a
direct material interest in keep
ing open the trade routes to Ger
many, but also possessed the pow
er to do so if she ever chose to
exercise it.
The Allies, moreover, had al
ready announced themselves in
every propaganda utterance as
the defenders OF international law,

barraSsing II the faint of illegal
ties should ever be attached to
their suppression Of our COM

it would also have made the
