BRITISH NOTE WILL DEFENDJLOCKADE New Communication to. Seek to ?nitify Bight to Tie Up Trade at Point Supplying Foe. CrVTL WAR ' PRECEDENTS CITED LONDON, July 2. The new British note to the United fitates in tbe course of preparation will be aa amplification of the original Amer ican contraband note which arrived in Washington, Monday. It will take up questions which have arisen since tbe first note was drafted. Rlarht t Blockade fteatral Pert. WASHINGTON. July Defense of the right of a belligerent to blockade a neutral port through which an enemy la receiving supplies er attempting to mar ket Its own products Is the chief argu ment to be made In the supplemental note Great Britain la preparing in reply to the American protest against the en forcement of the ordere-ln-eounell. Ths original note received last Monday has been withheld from publication at the re queet of Blr Edward Orey, British for sign minister, pending the arrival of the supplemental communication which is expected within a week. All other Issues than that of the blockade of neutral ports, it la learned, will be regarded by the British govern ment as subsidiary and proper for later discussion. Upon recognition by neutral governments of the principle from the British viewpoint depends the ability of a belligerent, which has otherwise estab lished control of the seas, to profit by the enormous expenditure and sacrifice hlch made possible the control. The matter Is all-Important In the British view. Two Developments Taken Vp. Two dsvelopments not discussed In the original note will be taken up In the sup plemental communication. ' One la the American caveat of July ' 17 conveying the notification that the United States government would not recognise orderg-ln-oouncn aa a- substitute for the pro visions of International law. The second point arose In connection with the enforced unloading on the Lon don docks of the cargo of the American steamer Nsches. June U. The ship was en route from Rotterdam to New Tork with a cargo of non-contraband, mostly of German and Belgian origin. It In cluded several thousand prayer books, rabbit skins, drugs and even some cotton. The British government asserted the right under Its blockade of Germany and that part of Belgium at present under German control to prevent any goods from being exported, the sale of whloh might aid the enemy financially Becauae the principal British argu ment Is directed to that phase of the right of blockade which affects goods sought to be Introduced Into an enemy's country. It Is believed that the British foreign office felt It necessary to supple ment the original note by an argument extending the claim to cover the case or goods exported from the enemy coun try through a neutral port. Civil War Preeedeata. Civil war precedents In resrard to h. right of blockade forma the chief baals or the Biitlah argument, attention being especially called to the famous "Spring bok" case before the United Rt.. preme court developing the "continuous voyage" theory. Though this doctrine, which, It la asserted, Justifies a belli gerent In blockading a neutral port, was strongly resisted by European nations, the fact that it waa finally aoceoted In Its entirety by the Alabama claim. arbitration was sufficient to make It an enduring principle f International law, aocordlng to the British view. There fore the order-tn-councll, which la be lieved by Brlttah officials to be entirely In accord with that theory wlU be applied, although with due deference to the pro tection of legitimate neutral trade. Incidentally It la contended by Great Britain In Its communication that the execution of these ordersln-eouncll so far has not resulted In any damage to American trade. According to . the British view that trade has waxed enor mously large since the beginning of the war, American treasury figures showing an Increase of W,giX,0uu in exports dur ing eleven months, while the American ocean freight baa grown by 744.W0 tons. crease of Kapurta. Significant aa indicating the amount of American gooda entering Germany and Auetrl attention Is directed to official statements that the ex porta of the United Ft tee to he Netherlanda have Increased from M.OO.OOO to I122.0u0.0u0; to Sweden from I1J.COO.000 to $71,u).0uO; to Norway from I7.ftj0.000 to S.0U0.000. and to Den mark from tlS.0rt.WO to tiO.OOu.OOO. Thai America received a fair supply of goods from Germany notwithstanding the war, la shown, the Brltlen government la'ma by the fact that In eight montha the Irn porta from that country to tha United Htatea aggregated ,0u0,oo0 and It Is aiei tinKd ti.at tne import of dye stuffs from Germany was greater than the pre vious year.
