Britain Is Told We Reserve Right 10 Genuine
 Neutral Trade

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Sum- ner Welles, Acting Secretary of State, said the United States has advised Great Britain it will not be understood as endorsing any principle of interference with neu- tral trade of the United States.
 Welles made the statement short ly after the British Embassy had disclosed, that effective December 1, the British will begin a pre- sailing system of Investigating Am erican exports to ten European neutral nations.
 Apparently, the United States notice to Great Britain that this country is reserving full rights un- der international law to genuinely neutral trade, was given when the export checking plan was discussed
 However, Welles did not make clear in what way the plan would be applied or what eventualities it might cover.

LONDON, Nov. 21.-Great Bri- tain has decided to seize all exports of German origin or ownership on the high seas, Premier Neville Chamberlain announced today
 Chamberlain made the statement in retaliation of what he called many violations of international law and the ruthless brutality or German methods"
 As Chamberlain made the an- nouncement in the House of Com mons, attributing German mines to the heavy merchant ship losses off the British east coast in the past few days, another ship was sunk in the area.
 The 11,000 ton Japanese passenger liner Terkuni Maru sank when it struck a mine and blew up.
