NOME. ALASKA. JUNE 28. 1915.
The statement of Sir Edward Gray
in the supplementary addition to the
first reply to the American note of pro
test relative to the British blockade of
the German coast, to the effect that the
Americans have no just cause for com
plaint of the restrictions placed on
shipping through the blockade of the
German coast proclaimed through the
famous order in council, may he ethi
cally correct from the British point of
view hut it is difficult to see wherein
lies its Justice unless England, like
Germany, is prepared to cast aside as
useless hindrances the principles of In
ternationil law previously agreed upon
in solemn convention. It is not so
much against the inconveniences to
overseas traffic that the United States
hus entered protest as it Is against the
direct violation of the principle of in
ternational law' which permits neutrals
the right to trade in unrestricted free
dom with the non-belligerent popula
tion of a nation engaged in war pro
vided that the trade involves no arti
cles classed as contraband under the
recognized laws. It Is the contention
of the United States that in dealing In
foodstuffs with the civilian population
of a belligerent, the nation is entirely
justified in assuming that such trade
is within both the spirit and the let
ter of the recognized law, of nations
and is therefore allowable.
And in supporting this contention
the United States is aiming at the sole
purpose of procuring the recognition
of accepted principles. The interna
tional code insists that the citizens of
a neutral state are to be allowed the
broadest rights in supplying foodstuffs
to any state engaged in war and must
not he hampered by restrictions as to
whether the articles are destined for
the non-eombatnnt population or not.
In other words the neutral must he
allowed to keep from starvation the
whole population of a belligerent If
necessary. In general principle this
means that the right to sustain human
life where ever necessary cannot be
abrogated upon the contention that
such help is possibly beneficial to the
military strength of a belligerent. The
justice of this principle was admitted
by Sir Edward Grey in the first note
relative to the subject sent to the Uni
ted States as he stated therein with
out reservation that his government
“are prepared to admit that foodstuffs
should not he detained and put Into a
prize court without presumption that
they are intended for the use of the
armed force of the enemy or the enemy
government.”
Yet in the face of this acknowl
edgement It Is Insisted at present "that
cargoes of conditional contraband
(which includes foodstuffs) are liable
to capture on hoard a ve«ssel bound for
neutral porta if the gods are consign
ed ‘to order,’ ” or If the ship's papers
“do not show who is the consignee or
if they show a consignee in territory
belonging to or occupied by the ene
my.”1 In all cases where doubt exists
"It shall lie with the owners—to prove
that their destination was innocent."
There seems to be something of a
t'lscrepancy between the two state
ments for in the one it is admitted
that foodstuffs shall be allowed to pass
unless there is presumption that they
arc intended for the use of armed
forces or a belligerent government and
the second insists that foodstuffs are
liable to seizure even if destined to
neutral ports unless the cosihgnee is
clearly Indicated. It Is ttie contention
< f the United States that seizures and
detentions which ignore the presump
tion of innocent use, especially when
destined to neutral ports, is in abso
lute defiance of the previous declara
tions of British herself and also in
direct violation of the accepted law of
nations. It is really in1 support of a
principle that the United States is di
recting its efforts and to the end that
there shall tie an absolute definition
i s to what is what In the matter but
Judging from ttie general evasion of the
direct Issue by the assertion that En
gland Is doing all she can to avoid
hampering the commerce of neutrals
without making a declaration as to the
main issue Indicates that she is much
inclined to adopt the methods of the
Germans in Ignoring all matters which
do not coincide with the desires of the
occasion.
