Britain cordially concurred in. the general principle that a belligerent should not interfere with trade between neutrals, unless it is necessary to protect. the belligerent's national safety, and then only to the extent to which this is necessary; with this qualification, how- ever, that we shall endeavour to keep our action within the limits of this principle, on the understanding that it admits our right to interfere where such interference is not with bona-fde trade between the United States and another neutral country, but with trade in con- traband destined for the enemy's country and we are ready, whenever our action, may unintentionally exceed this principle, to make redress."
