Washington, July 30. ? Great Brit
ain is warned, in tBe Amerlctw note
of protest against the blacklist) pnade
? public, tonight by the State Depart
ment. of the "many serious conso
quences to neutral rights and neutral
relations which silch an act must nec
essarily involve."
Already in the hands of tne British
foreign office, the note declares "in
the gravest tenn>" that it is "mani
festly out of the question that . the
Government of the United States ac
quiesce in such methods" and that tlie
United States regards the blacklist as j
"Inevitably and essentially inconsist
ent with the rights of all the citircns
of all the nations not involved in the
war." It reminds the British govern
ment that "citizens of the United Sta
tes are entirely within their right* in
attempting to trade with the p?cple
or the governments of any of the na? i
tions now at war, subject only to well |
defined international practices and un
derstandings which the Government of
the United States deems the govern
ment of Great Britian to have too
lightly and frequently disregarded."

among theLprlnciples which the civ

rights of neutrals is the just and hon

not be condemned nor their goods

Such safeguards the blacklist brush
