The contrast between those two systems of The Foreign Office issued last mouth në policing, represents really the essential number of letters written by the Ameriena Ambassador nach Sir Edward Grey on difference between the two ideals of British Prize Court procedure" in cases government with which China is coin which American interests may he frouted; the old system was perhapя

On the question of the effect of Orders in Council he replies by quoting the words of Sir Samuel Evans in the

I make bold to express the hope an 1 belief that the nations of the world cod not be apprehensive that Orders in Council will emanate from the Govern mont of this country in such violation of the acknowledged law of nations that it is conceivable that our Prize Tribunals, holding the law of nations in reverence, would feel called upon to disregard and refuse obedience to the provisions of such Orders,"

In his reply Sir Edward Grey points to the practice of the German Government to sink neutral as well as British mer- chant vessels, irrespective of their desti- nation or the origin of their cargoes, without proper regard or provision for the safety of passengers or crews.

In broad declaration of the attitude of this country towards neutrals he' says that there will be no substantial interference with the trade of neutral ports except in so far as they constitute ports of access to and exit from the enemy "borritory," Ho acids: There are at this moment mung The Chinese Customs authorities at Can-neutral ports which it would be more affectation to rogard re offering facilities only for the commerce of the neutral cain- try in which they are situated."
