TO END TRADE WITH BELLIGERENTS

CHANGING OLD POLICY OF SEA FREEDOM

(SPECIAL TO "TELEGRAPH")

(By Telegraph. Copyright, Telegraphic Messages Ordinance, 1894 Received, Dec. 18, 12.10 p.m.)

Washington, Dec. 17. Senator Nye, who is Chairman of the Senate Committee investigating the so-called arms "racket" in America, announced to-day that he would introduce a Bill to Congress designed to prohibit the flying of the United States flag on American merchantmen whose cargoes were destined for a belligerent nation in war- time.

He would seek to put through this legislation, he said, in order to prevent the United States becoming involved in future wars through a pledge to protect American shipping engaged in trade as neutrals.
