GERMANY ASSERTS
Note To Bryan Protesting Against
Sales of Arms and Failure To Stop
England's Food Blockade.
WASHINTON, April 24.—Germany
has sent a note to the United States
government complaining that Amer
ica has accomplished nothing in its
diplomatic correspondence with the
Allies to obtain for American ex
porters the right to ship foodstuffs
to the civilian population of a bel
ligerent country. The communication
also intimates that the United States
■has virtually acquiesced in the Brit
ish order in council prohibiting com
merce with Germany.
In view of these considerations, the
German government then calls atten
tion to the fact that the Allies are
obtaining every day large shipments
of arms and ammunition from deal
ers in the United States, and declares
that, the American government, while
insisting on its legal right to ship
arms to belligerents, does not with
equal energy pursue its right to ship
foodstuffs and non-contraband articles
to the civilian population of Germany.
The note urges that irrespective of
the formal aspects of the question of
shipping arms to belligerents, the
spirit of neutrality should be observ
ed. In support of this contention, a
quotation is cited from President
Wilson's address to congress on Mex
ican affairs in August, 1913, when he
said:
“I shall follow the best practice of
nations in the matter of neutrality
by forbidding the exportation of arms
or munitions of war of any kind from
the United States to any part of the
republic of Mexico—a policy suggest
ed by several interesting precedents
and certainly dictated by many mani
fest considerations of practical ex
pediency. We cannot in the circum
stances be partisans of either party
to the contest that now distracts
Mexico, nor constitute ourselves the
virtual umpire between them.”
No Law for Embargo.
It is asserted that there is no
law by which the president of the
United States can exercise the same
authority, even if he were desirous
of forbidding the exportation of arms
to all belligerents, because to do so
without authority from congress
would be unconstitutional.
From the outset the viewpoint of
the American government has been
that its position with respect to the
shipment of arms has been enforced
impartially as to all belligerents, and
Secretary Bryan’s letter to Chairman
Stone of the Senate Foreign Rela
tions committee discussing this point
contended that if the Germanic allies
were unable to enjoy the same ad
vantages as to the delivery of arms
into their country this was due to
the naval superiority of Great Brit
ain and not to any circumstances ov
er which the United States had any
control.
