CHAMPION OF NEUTRAL RIGHTS:
America Cannot Further Suffer Inter
ference With Its Commerce
On the High Seas.
Washington. The United States. In
Its latest noto to Great Britain, mado
public here Nov. 7, covering exhaust
ivuly British interference with Amer
lean trade slnco tho beginning of tho
European war, declares that the so
called blockade instituted by tho al
lies against enemy countries on
Murch 11, Is "ineffective, illegal and
indefensible." Notice is served that
the American government "cannot
submit to tho curtailment of ita neu
tral rights" and It cannot "with com
placency Buffer further subordination
of its rights and Interests."
Ambassador Pago to whom the note
was sent by special messenger for de
livery to the London foreign ofllco
was Instructed by Secretary Lansing
"to Impress most earnestly" upon tho
British government that tho United
States "must Insist that the relations
between It and his majesty's govern
ment be governed not by a policy or
expediency, but by those established
rules of international conduct to
which Great Britain in tlio past has.
held the United States to account
when the latter nation was a belliger
ent engaged In a struggle for national
existence."
Declaring the United States "un
hesitatingly assumes" tho task of
championing the Integrity of neutral
rights, tho noto proclaims that tlio
American government will devote its
energies to the taBk, exercising al
ways, an impartial attitude.
Tlio note, nearly 15,000 words in
length, was made public by agree
ment between the Stato department
and tho British foreign ofllco.
Secretary Lansing in discussing tlio
question of compensation, denies that
the charges, such as pilotage, wharf
age, unloading costs, etc, against a
detained vessel must bo paid by tho
claimants, and adds that the United
States Is "loathe to believe that such
ungenerous treatment will continue,
to bo accorded American citizens,'
any waivers or Indemnity exacted
from American citizens "under such
conditions of duress," it Is declared,
cannot preclude them from subse
quently obtaining redress through dip
lomatic channels.
