ADJUSTMENT IS MADE IN
NEUTRAL TRADE CASES
WASHINGTON. D. C.—The state
department has been notified by the
British embassy that an adjustment
has been reached in the matter of to
bacco shipments to neutral countries,
Which removes all embarrassments in
this country concerning trade in the
commodity in question. The statement
of the British embassy on the subject,
as given out by the state department,
follows:
“Shipments of tobacco, made under
bona fide contracts entered into before
July 15, need not be consigned to the
Netherlands Overseas Trust or cov
ered by guarantees, in the case of
shipments to Scandinavia, provided
that the consignment shall have been
put on rail, under a through bill of
lading for land and sea carriage, or
shipped under a direct steamship bill
of lading before Aug. 31.
“The British authorities regard as
most important the provision that the
goods must have been shipped on a
through bill of lading for land and
sea carriage or under direct bill be
fore Aug. 31, and they must insist
upon its fulfillment.”
■ The state department, explaining
what has been done by Great Britain
says: “It was at first announced as
a concession to the American tobacco
interests that tobacco, bought and paid
for prior to August 4 and shipped
prior to Aug. 31, would be allowed to
go forward free of the restrictions re
ferred to above. It was found also
that this concession was inadequate to
relieve the hardships brought upon the
tobacco interests by the sudden im
position of the restrictions named, and
tbe department of state took up the
question with the British government
and has since made every effort pos
sible to secure a more favorable rule.
“While the points at issue were un
der discussion a large number of ship
ments went forward and were de
tained upon arrival at the various
ports at which they respectively ar
rived.”
It is explained that the differences
between the United States and the
British government arose over the
question of payments. The London
rule, which is the same as saying it
was also the rule of all the allies,
was that only tobacco that had been
contracted for and paid for abroad
before Aug. 31 would be permitted to
pass.
The allied government did not see
that a hardship was often suffered by
buyers in this country who had bought
and paid for tobacco in the United
States for shipment. The rule of pay
ment abroad barred them from ship
ping the commodity. The effect of the
change is merely to eliminate the con
sideration of the place of payment.
All that is insisted upon now, is a
bona fide transaction and a through
bill of lading to the neutral.
NEW TELEGRAPHERS TRY
TO READ MACHINE GUN
PATTER—SOME NERVOUS
LONDON, Nov. 6.—The scores of
men who have been trained in the
past few months as telegraphers fpr
England’s new army are complaining
of “nerves." Several have claimed
the work is so trying that they
have found themselves attempting to
read the Morse code into every suc
cession of sounds they hear. The
trot of a horse or the honking of an
auto horn, they say, invariably spell
out some wierd message. The drum
ming of rain on the roof, the clatter
of the army service wagons and even
the patter of machine-gun bullets
come to the nervous telegraphers as
code messages.
