Germany Sends America Note Com
plaining Protest Against Block-
aie Accomplith Nothing.
HINTS POLICY ACQUIESCED IN
WASHINGTON, April UKGer
many lias sent to the United States
government a note complaining that
the Utter baa accomplished nothing
in ita diplomatic correspondence
with the allies to obtain for Ameri
can exporters the right to ship food
stuffs to the civilian population of a
belligerent country. The communi
cation Intimates also that the United
States baa virtually aequlesed in the
British order-ln-councll. prohibiting
commerce with Germany.
' (enrettva at Anna.
In view of these considerations
the German government calls atten
tion to the fact that the allies dally
are obtaining - large shipments of
ansa and ammunition from dealers
in the United 8tatea and declares
that the American government, while
insisting on its legal rights to ship
arms to belligerents, does not with
equal energy pursue Its rights to ship
foodstuffs and noncontraband ar
ticles to the civilian population of
Germany.
. WILsa Remark Cited.
The not urges that Irrespective of the
formal- aspects ef the oueatlon of ship
ping arm to belligerents the spirit of
neutrality should bt observed. In sup
port of this contention, a quotation is
cited from President Wnson'a address
to ' congress on Mexican affairs t
August. UU. when he said: "I shall
follow the beat practice of nations in
the matter of neutrality by forbidding
tb exportation of arms or munitions of
war of any kind from the United States
to any part of the republic of Mexico
a policy suggested by several Interest
. Ing precedents and certainty dictated by
many manifest considerations of prac
tical expediency. We cannot in the ctr
oumittanoee be partisans of either party
to the contest that now distracts tyrxloo
or . constitute ourselves the virtual um
pire between them."
Officials of the Btats department hava
begun the preparation of a reply, which
will be delivered ehortly to Count von
Bernatorff, the Oerman ambassador hers.
Coraplaiat Made Before.
The complaint that nutrel countries
had ' submitted to the Influence of thai
allies in connection with the right to
hip conditional contraband and food
stuffs to the civilian population of a
belligerent baa been made before by Oer
mny In Its diplomatic notes this being
cited by the German foreign office a
. one of the reasons for proclaiming a sub
marine war sons of the waters surround
ing Great Britain and Ireland.- The
United States denied In its reply than
that it had been silent on the question
and called attention to Its diplomatic
notes to Or eat Britain dealing with these
subjects.
It is euderstood that the reply to the
present complaint will deny, vigorously
that this government bss acquiesced in
ny ay to ths ovder-tn-oouncll and prob
ably will rcfr to the lest note sent by
the United IMatfs to Qrcst Britain argu-
, lug at tansth Ha opposition to the view
point of the allies on tqe blockade ques
tion.
A Special ra.ee.
As for tbe utterances of ths president
I on the shipment of arms Into Mexico,
officials here hold that the Mexican
situation constitutes a special can In no
wir oomparable with the relations) be
tween the United States and the Euro
pean belliasrents. Official pointed out
that tbe "prealient said la the same ad
dress to congress:
"I deem it my duty to exercise the
authority conferred upon me by the law
of Miirah It 1311 to sea to It that neither
side of the struggle now going on In
Mexico receive any assistance from this
side of the border."
There la ae law by which tha president
of tha United Jltatea, It was declared,
" nUd exercise the sams authority, even
If be dastred, of forbidding the eaporta-
1 tton of arms to all belligerents, aa to do
so without authority from congress would
be unconstitutional.
Viewpoint at V. B.
Tha viewpoint of tha American govern
ment has beeo from the outset that Its
position with respect to tha shipment of
arma has been enforced Impartially as to
all belligerents, and herniary Bryan's
to Cfcalrma-i Btone of the senate
foreign relations commit tee discussing
this point contended that If tha Oermanlo
allies were unable to enjoy tha same ad
vantages aa to tha delivery of arms into
their country, this was due to the naval
superiority of Ureat Britain and not to
any circumstances over which the Unltod
tliates had any control
